  • Ep 1: Markets at All-Time Highs: What Could Go Wrong?

    The markets are soaring to all-time highs on the back of the Federal Reserve meeting in Jackson Hole, but what does that really mean for investors? In this episode of WealthWise with SageSpring, Mac McDonald CFA and Jordan McFarland CFP®, break down the critical difference between the economy and the stock market, and why the Fed’s next moves on interest rates could shape everything from borrowing costs to consumer spending.

    They’ll explore why inflation hovering near 3% matters, how diversification helps manage risk, and why markets often react faster than the economy itself. Plus, they’ll share insights on aligning your capital with your purpose to build sustainable, long-term wealth.

    The terms hawkish and dovish are often used to describe Federal Reserve policy stances. Hawkish generally refers to a preference for higher interest rates to combat inflation, even if it slows economic growth. Dovish generally refers to a preference for lower interest rates to encourage economic growth and employment, even if it risks higher inflation.
