Remember this chart
The “Magnificent 7” dominate headlines—but is there more opportunity elsewhere? Richard Bernstein says yes. In Ep. 48 of the ROI Podcast, he explains why investors should look beyond the usual suspects. 🎧buzzsprout.com/2227282/episod… 📺youtu.be/sLd7WYTg-jE #Markets #Investing…
Don't expect a V-shaped recovery. Brian Wesbury calls it a “tilted L”—a slow grind higher, not a snapback. 💡 Tech & productivity will drive it 📉 Don’t be surprised if we dip below 5200 Full episode → 🎧 tinyurl.com/pdyjdnd5 📺 tinyurl.com/pn86tbx5 #ROIPodcast…
7 generations on welfare. 4 generations ago, we knew it was broken. Fixing it? Painful. Politically costly. Necessary. Brian Wesbury on systemic reform → 🎧 tinyurl.com/pdyjdnd5 📺 tinyurl.com/pn86tbx5 #ROIPodcast #Policy #Economy #FirstTrust
The Fed wants to shrink its balance sheet—but capital rules won’t let banks absorb the bonds. So what’s the fix? Change the rules the Fed created. Brian Wesbury breaks it down → 🎧 tinyurl.com/pdyjdnd5 📺 tinyurl.com/pn86tbx5 #ROIPodcast #FederalReserve #Markets…
Savings rate: 📉 15% → 4% Foreign ownership: 📈 Congress: 💤 Tariffs may not fix the root problem—but they might be the only tool left. ROI Podcast with Brian Wesbury → 🎧 tinyurl.com/pdyjdnd5 📺 tinyurl.com/pn86tbx5 #ROIPodcast #Trade #Economy #FirstTrust
“We’re buying quarter-zips… they’re buying our farmland.” Brian Wesbury says tariffs aren't the root issue—an oversized government and trade imbalance are. Full conversation on the ROI Podcast → 🎧 tinyurl.com/pdyjdnd5 📺 tinyurl.com/pn86tbx5 #ROIPodcast #Economy…
“The era of easy everything is over.” Brian Wesbury explains why he sees a normal recession, not a crash: 🟠 No tech or housing bubble 📉 ~0.5% GDP decline expected More on the latest ROI Podcast → 🎧 tinyurl.com/pdyjdnd5 📺 tinyurl.com/pn86tbx5 #ROIPodcast #Markets…
Brian Wesbury says the Fed’s “mission creep” has gone too far—getting involved in things like climate change and lead pipes. “It’s like they’ve run out of things to do... but forgot to keep inflation in check.” 🎧 tinyurl.com/pdyjdnd5 📺 tinyurl.com/pn86tbx5 #ROIpodcast…
🌎 Is the tide turning for international equities? 🔹 U.S. valuations stretched 🔹 Fiscal stimulus abroad 🔹 AI-driven shifts in leadership We believe selectivity matters more than ever. 📈 Read the latest Inside First Trust ETFs: tinyurl.com/yy2rvwyh #Investing #ETFs…

Tariffs ≠ runaway inflation? “We’re not breaking down or running away in interest rates. We’re in a tighter band.” — Bill Housey, First Trust 📺 tinyurl.com/kfxn84w9 🎧 tinyurl.com/3n6tzdxu #FirstTrust #InterestRates #FixedIncome #Investing #Tariffs #Inflation
Uncertainty is rising. Volatility is back. But is it too early to call for a recession? 📉 Bill Housey joins me on the ROI Podcast to break down what it all means for equity and bond markets. 🎧 tinyurl.com/jdc9s8em 📺 youtu.be/W39dCUbthLY #ROIPodcast #FirstTrust…
📉 Timing the market is tempting—until it goes the other way. 💡 Dave McGarel: ✅ Compound interest wins over time 🔄 Diversification—into small-cap & international—can lead to outperformance 📊 A different market may be here 🎧 tinyurl.com/2s429363 📺…
🌍 European stocks are shining 📈 Over the past year, they’ve outperformed the MAG 7 🏦 European financials finally have their balance sheets in order 💡 A new wave of international opportunity is emerging 🎧 tinyurl.com/2s429363 📺 tinyurl.com/5n8ce6ye #Investing…
📉 The Fed’s next move is critical 💡 If the Fed hints at rate hikes? ⚠️ “The market’s going to get creamed,” says Dave McGarel 🏠 Higher rates hit housing & consumer spending 📉 But if inflation slows, the Fed has 450 bps to cut 🎧 tinyurl.com/2s429363 📺…
