This week on "Money Talks," Troy Harmon, CFA, CVA, is joined by Principal Jennifer J. Thomas, CFP®, and Managing Associate K.C. Smith, CFP®, to discuss the week’s economic releases, including the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Survey, the Producer and Consumer Price indices, the Fed’s monetary policy, and Retail Sales. K.C. and Jennifer take a look at a case study about a couple who were told to try to reduce their modified adjusted gross income to avoid paying more for Medicare. The hosts round out the show with questions on NetEase, tax reform and an employer who filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
