Is the housing market in a bubble that’s about to burst?

Would you pay for your house for 50 years? The Trump administration is floating a plan to allow banks to offer 50-year mortgages—and while the headline sounds like “affordable homeownership,” the math tells a very different story.

The S&P 500 has hit two all-time highs in the past two months — and it’s surged 85% since October 2022. That kind of run has many investors wondering: Is a pullback coming soon?

In this week’s Fastest 4 Minutes in Finance, Scott Inman breaks down key historical data showing why a year-end rally is actually the most likely outcome — not a crash. Since 1950, when the S&P 500 was up more than 10% through October, it kept rising in 30 out of 33 years, averaging another 4.8% gain before December closed.

Even more striking — when it was up over 16% by the end of October, it finished higher 19 out of 19 times. That means if the market doesn’t rise from here, it would be unprecedented in history.

Social Security checks are getting a 2.8% cost-of-living adjustment in 2026 — but don’t get too excited. That’s only about $56 more per month for the average retiree. The problem? Healthcare costs are climbing faster than inflation, and Medicare premiums are expected to jump 11.6%, eating away nearly half of that “raise.”

In this week’s Fastest Four Minutes in Finance, Scott Inman explains why your Social Security increase won’t go as far as you think — and what you can do to keep your retirement income ahead of rising costs.
