In this week's episode, the Market Commentators focus on the newly-announced COVID vaccine developments from Pfizer and Biontech, as well as the importance of sticking to your investment plan even during uncertain times.

Jake Willms serves as the moderator of this week’s Market Commentator podcast. Jake, Mike and Andy consider what a Democratic sweep on election day might mean for the markets and your portfolio, and what (if anything) you should do to prepare for that possibility.

In this week’s podcast, Andy is joined by his son Jake Willms, who is a quantitative analyst with The Milwaukee Company. Andy and Jake talk about what a blue wave might mean for the stock market and interest rates, some pleasant surprises in the initial 3rd quarter earnings report, and if Congress should slay the tech giants.

In today’s podcast, the Market Commentators talk about how recent political developments are influencing the stock market, the state of the bond market, whether it makes sense to borrow money to invest in stocks, and if we’re in the midst of a "dot-com" tech stock bubble.

In this week’s podcast, Andy and Mike Willms discuss the first Presidential debate as well as some other political developments that could affect markets in the upcoming weeks. The Market Commentators also talk about the record level of bankruptcies, the ongoing housing boom, and the new found love a couple of the big brokerage firms have for gold.

In this week’s podcast, The Market Commentators discuss the potential impact politics could have on the stock market, including the filling of the Supreme Court vacancy caused by the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the stalemate in Congress over a new stimulus package, the strain the TikTok debacle is putting on the U.S. and China, and the November Presidential and Congressional elections. The guys also consider the current outlook for the U.S economy and the Covid-19 Pandemic.

In this week’s podcast, the Market Commentators discuss the prospects for another round of government stimulus and whether the corresponding massive increase in the size of the federal deficit is a cause for concern.  Andy and Mike consider the extent to which the S&P 500 and Nasdaq have become increasing concentrated in Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Alphabet/Google and Microsoft, and how that affects investors in ETFs that track those indexes.

The Nasdaq and the S&P have both entered into correction territory, having fallen by more than 10% over the last few days. In this week’s podcast, The Market Commentators discuss the significance of the sell off, Federal Powell’s recent assertion that it could be years before the Fed lets interest rates rise meaningfully, and the recent suspension of AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine clinical trial.
