This week on "Money Talks," Managing Associate Shawna Theriault, CFP®, C.P.A., joins hosts Bil Lako, CFP®, and Troy Harmon, CFA, CVA, to discuss the week’s economic news, including Wholesale trade, mortgage applications and jobless claims. They also discuss sector performance as president-elect Trump’s inauguration draws near. Shawna and Bil explore a listener’s decision to rent or buy a house after a divorce and profit from the sale of the family home. They take a closer look at the tax advantages and lifestyle choices that come with home ownership. The experts also address listeners’ questions on investment theory "stick to the core and don’t explore," meaning avoiding international holdings, Roth IRA eligibility for resident aliens and using an old 401(k) to pay down credit card debt.
