  • 55. Replay: How did the Stock Market Perform Under Biden vs. Trump?
    Oct 4 2024
    [This episode was originally recorded on July 05, 2024, before Biden dropped out of the Presidential Election Race. We examined historical data, facts, and statistics of what happens to the stock market when there is a Republican vs Democrat as President of the U.S.] During election years, the stock market tends to experience increased volatility due to the uncertainty surrounding the outcome. However, historical data shows that the stock market performance during election years does not significantly differ from other years. The median annualized return for the stock market since the 1900s is 7.7%. The performance of the stock market is more influenced by factors such as economic growth and corporate earnings rather than the political party in office. It is important to stay invested in the market and focus on long-term growth. Key Takeaways: The stock market tends to experience increased volatility during election years due to uncertainty.Historical data shows that the stock market performance during election years does not significantly differ from other years.The performance of the stock market is more influenced by factors such as economic growth and corporate earnings rather than the political party in office.It is important to stay invested in the market and focus on long-term growth. 🔗All Market MakeHer Links: ​​https://bio.site/marketmakeHER Still Have More Questions or a Comment? 🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏻🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏽‍♂️🙋Holla @ us on: ⁠Market MakeHer ⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠ Get Your Free eBook: The Stock Market Explained Subscribe to Our Newsletter Email jessica@marketmakeherpodcast.com Instagram⁠ ⁠⁠@marketmakeherpodcast⁠⁠⁠ TikTok⁠ ⁠⁠@marketmakeher⁠⁠⁠ X/Twitter⁠ ⁠⁠@MarketMakeHer⁠⁠⁠ Join the ⁠ ⁠⁠FB Community⁠⁠⁠ 👀 Watch us in action on our⁠ ⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠ 👀 ✨ Follow Jess Inskip on ⁠TikTok⁠ and ⁠Instagram⁠ ✨ ✨ Follow Jessie DeNuit on ⁠TikTok⁠ and ⁠Instagram⁠ ✨ About Us 🌚🌞 Market MakeHer is an investing education podcast taught by a 15-year finance expert to her friend who is a beginner investor.

  • 54. How to Find Investment Sector Opportunities
    Sep 27 2024

    It's time to give your money a job, but if you can't decide on a company, you can start with a sector.

    GICS stands for the Global Industry Classification Standard and they set the classifications for the 11 sectors.

    2 Types of Sectors:

    1. Cyclical sectors are sensitive to economic conditions. They do well when the economy is growing but can struggle during recessions. These sectors are more volatile, but high risk can also equal high reward.
    2. Defensive sectors are stable across all economic conditions because they provide essential goods and services that people need regardless of how the economy is doing. They can be considered recession-proof.

    The 11 Sectors:

    1. Energy

    2. Materials

    3. Industrials

    4. Utilities

    5. Healthcare

    6. Financials

    7. Consumer Discretionary

    8. Consumer Staples

    9. Information Technology

    10. Communication Services

    11. Real Estate

  • 53. The Fed Cut Interest Rates: Prepare For Landing 🛬
    Sep 20 2024

    The Fed aka The Federal Reserve finally cut interest rates. Papa Powell (aka fed chair Jerome Powell) announced this week the federal funds rate is cut by 50 basis points (which means .50%). This might not seem like much to consumers like us, but cutting it by .50% in one meeting is actually a pretty big deal. Normally, everyone would flip out over something like this and wonder if it means we’re in a recession or about to be, but this time, EVERYONE was anticipating it and prepared for it. The stock market is actually at a high today. The S&P 500 rose to a new high today topping the record set July 16th. It’s up 11% since from its low on Aug. 5 when recession panic peaked after the brutal July jobs report. This year, the S&P 500 is up about 19%, despite high interest rates and everything happening in the world this year.

    We explore economic indicators, the housing market dynamics, employment trends, and the Fed's dual mandate of balancing maximum employment with price stability. The conversation also touches on the political influences on monetary policy, the definition of inflation, and current market trends, providing listeners with insights into navigating the evolving economic landscape.

  • 52. Introduction to Bonds
    Sep 13 2024
    What Is A Bond? What Are The Different Types Of Bonds? How Do You Buy Bonds? In this episode of the Market Maker Podcast, Jessie and Jess delve into the world of bonds, discussing their significance in the financial market, the mechanics of how they work, and the various types of bonds available for investment. Explore the relationship between interest rates and bond prices, the importance of credit ratings, and the risks associated with bond investments. We also cover municipal bonds and how to invest in bonds through direct purchases or funds. This is an educational guide to help you understand bonds and their role in investment portfolios (not advice, duh 😉). Takeaways Bonds are a type of fixed income product issued by governments and corporations.When you buy a bond, you're lending money to the issuer in exchange for interest payments.Bonds are less volatile than stocks, providing a smoother investment experience.Interest rate risk affects bond prices; when rates rise, bond prices typically fall.Credit ratings are crucial for assessing the risk of default on bonds.Municipal bonds often offer tax benefits, making them attractive for investors.Different types of bonds include corporate, government, and municipal bonds, each with unique characteristics.Investors can purchase bonds directly or through mutual funds and ETFs.Understanding the yield curve is essential for bond investors.Researching a bond's creditworthiness is vital before investing. 🐶 Special Guest Appearance by Darling Lady Darla 🐶 Still Have More Questions or a Comment? 🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏻🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏽‍♂️🙋Holla @ us on: ⁠Market MakeHer ⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠ Get Your Free eBook: The Stock Market Explained Subscribe to Our Newsletter Email jessica@marketmakeherpodcast.com Instagram⁠ ⁠⁠@marketmakeherpodcast⁠⁠⁠ TikTok⁠ ⁠⁠@marketmakeher⁠⁠⁠ X/Twitter⁠ ⁠⁠@MarketMakeHer⁠⁠⁠ Join the Money Coven⁠ ⁠⁠FB Community⁠⁠⁠ 👀 Watch us in action on our⁠ ⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠ 👀 ✨ Follow Jess Inskip on ⁠TikTok⁠ and ⁠Instagram⁠ ✨ ✨ Follow Jessie DeNuit on ⁠TikTok⁠ and ⁠Instagram⁠ ✨ About Us 🌚🌞 Market MakeHer is an investing education podcast taught by a 15-year finance expert to her friend who is a beginner investor.

  • 51. What is the Business Cycle? Why Does it Matter NOW?
    Sep 6 2024
    We are revisiting the business cycle and how it relates to the menstrual cycle, much like we did in ⁠Episode 13⁠ on Recessions, but we compare the phases in each cycle, side-by-side this time and break it down further. What Is The Business Cycle? The Business Cycle is Periods of economic expansion and contraction based on the 3-Ds we discussed last time: depth (how bad is it?), diffusion (how widespread?), and duration (how long?) of a broad range of economic indicators. The periods of expansion and contraction begin and end with what is called “turning points” as defined by the ⁠NBER⁠ (National Bureau of Economic Research). The turning points become peaks and troughs. Peaks are when the economy is slowing down. Trough is when it picks back up. Why Does It Matter? Monitoring economic data, such as GDP and unemployment, is crucial for assessing the health of the economy and making informed investment decisions. The stock market is not the economy, but it is closely related to the business cycle and the health of the consumer. Understanding the business cycle can help investors anticipate market trends and adjust their investment strategies accordingly. Hard Landing vs Soft Landing vs No Landing Soft landing is a slowdown in economic growth with a controlled reduction in inflation (think of a pilot making a slow controlled descent under the cloud cover to safely land a plane) and it’s usually followed by a period of growth. Hard landing occurs when the economy contracts sharply due to the central bank's efforts to control inflation (raising interest rates too high for too long). No-landing occurs when the economy continues to grow despite a series of contractions in monetary policies. "The business cycle, it's like the menstrual cycle, more than just a period." In this analogy: The Uterus is the Economy The Business Cycle is the Menstrual Cycle The Stock Market is NOT the economy, it's a bunch of companies. So in this example, it could be companies selling pads, tampons, birth control, etc. [Disclosure: we’re not medical doctors or scientists, so just go with our analogy for funsies.] The Business Cycle Compared to the Menstrual Cycle The business cycle is economic phases of expansion and contraction, similar to the Follicular and Luteal phases of the menstrual cycle, with peak and trough turning points, similar to Ovulation and Menstruation. We also discuss the importance of monitoring economic data, such as GDP and unemployment, to assess the health of the economy and make informed investment decisions. New data will be coming out the day this episode is released. ⁠⁠Subscribe to Our Newsletter⁠ ⁠ to stay informed! Related Links: ⁠Ep 13.

  • 50. SMU: NVDA Earnings, Market Participation & Fed Expectations
    Aug 30 2024
    Stock Market Update (SMU) Let's discuss and demystify the recent volatility in the stock market, NVDA earnings, Jackson Hole highlights including rate cuts, and the dreaded "R" word (recession). 🔮 "If the Mag 7 is coming down, and the other 493 are participating, that is a recipe for sideways action." ~Jess Inskip Who Are The Magnificent 7? ⁠Alphabet⁠ (GOOGL; GOOG), ⁠Amazon⁠ (AMZN), ⁠Apple⁠ (AAPL), ⁠Meta Platforms⁠ (META), ⁠Microsoft⁠ (MSFT), ⁠NVIDIA⁠ (NVDA), and ⁠Tesla⁠ (TSLA) NVDA is the Taylor Swift of the Stock Market 🤡 Nvidia surpassed earnings, but saw its stock price decline 6.5% today. There's a supply issue, not a demand issue here. And just like there was a let-down for Swifties when Taylor didn't announce Reputation TV, just like Nvidia didn't meet expectations of the market and there was a let-down. But we're still betting on Taylor Swift, so take that correlation how you will (not advice). 😉 The Broadening: Group Participation in the Class Project Earnings growth is now happening in the other 493 stocks of the S&P 500, indicating a broadening of the market. Check out our episode: What Is Market Breadth (⁠Ep. 45⁠). Fed (Papa) Powell Finally Gonna Cut Rates 🙌 The recent Jackson Hole meeting indicated that a rate cut is likely, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell focusing on the labor market and the need to avoid further pain. We would be shocked if there isn't a rate cut in September (0.50% is what's being anticipated). And remember, this de-inverts the yield curve and that means your HYSA interest will go down along with bonds, treasurys, CDs, etc. Recession 🤫 Recessions are determined in hindsight by the ⁠NBER,⁠ based on factors such as depth, diffusion, and duration. We're going to revisit this topic in the next episode along with the business cycle as compared to the menstrual cycle. 😉 Help Us Help You ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Leave us a star rating and/or review.

  • 49. Better w/ My Finance-Sis, Pt 2: Funds
    Aug 23 2024
    Continuing our "Better with my Finance-Sis" Mini-Series, in part 2 we talk all about Funds! But not just the different types of investment funds, also the difference between Passive and Active Funds. Passive Funds vs Active Funds What is a passive fund? Passive funds usually have lower expense ratios, with a more simplified investment strategy and less involvement of fund managers (or they can also be managed by computers). They do still follow a benchmark and aim to deliver returns with that benchmark, and are still subject to 2 important items we need to cover called: expense ratio and tracking error. Tracking Error Defined: Tracking error is a measure of how closely a portfolio follows the index to which it is benchmarked. Expense Ratio Defined: The expense ratio is how much of a fund's assets are used towards administrative and other operating expenses. Because an expense ratio reduces a fund's assets, it reduces the returns investors receive. What is an active fund? Active funds typically feature higher expense ratios, attributed to the fund manager's in-depth research, analysis, and management efforts.
