This week on “Money Talks,” Chief Investment Officer Troy Harmon, CFA, CVA, is joined by Research Analyst Jacob Keen and Senior Associate Jarrett McKenzie, CFP®, CWS®, to discuss earnings season as it draws to a close, interest rate spreads and the possibility of having a recession without an inversion of the yield curve, and several economic releases, including the S&P Case-Shiller home price index, Conference Board’s consumer confidence measure, and fourth quarter GDP. Jacob and Jarrett discuss an investor’s situation where she is fully invested in target-date funds outside of her 401(k). The experts also answer a listener’s question on drug makers Bayer and Merck, and provide advice for a couple in their 30s who want to pay off their house as soon as possible to live debt free.
