Mark Fleming, chief economist for First American Financial Corp., says that the real estate market will not be returning to 'normal' when the pandemic is done because it has been fundamentally changed by the way lives have been affected by work-from-home and other trends. Those issues led to a particularly strong year in 2020 and will contribute to another big year ahead, especially with the millennials aggressively moving into their home-ownership phases at a time when there is a low supply of available homes. Also on the show, Janice Quek of Left Brain Investment Research discusses Datadog, a stock that isn't part of the firm's recent cyber-security theme but which has similar growth characteristics and potential, JP Lee of Van Eck Vectors ETFs talks about the gaming and e-sports industries and Matt Schulz of CompareCards.com discusses where consumers went right and wrong with their savings and spending last year.

Brian Dress of Left Brain Investment Research says that earnings season is 'the Super Bowl and Olympics all rolled into one,' and with four of the FAANG stocks reporting on Thursday, he discusses in this week's Left Brain Thinking segment how to use earnings reports, transcripts and more to identify opportunities in stocks and bonds. Also on the show, author Roger Martin discusses his book, 'When More is Not Better: Overcoming America's Obsession with Economic Efficiency,' Matt Schulz of CompareCards.com talks about the troubles with store credit cards, and Maz Jadallah of AlphaClone covers the favorite stocks of hedge funds in the Market Call.

Victoria Fernandez, chief market strategist for Crossmark Global Investments, says that while we might expect the market to react to the election and to fundamentals, the foreseeable future of the market will be driven by what happens with Covid-19 and the way the pandemic plays out. She expects the market to jump back clearly once we get through the pandemic and see a reduction in cases and the beginning to the end of a pandemic. Also on the show, long-term trader Michael Sincere says he thinks the disconnect between the economy and the market needs to be resolved and that he expects that the economy's dour message will win out with the stock market suffering as a result, Matt Schulz of CompareCards.com discusses how grocery spending has changed during the coronavirus troubles, and Chuck discusses the 10-year anniversary of his heart attack and how his life has changed since then.

Mike Calwell, manager of the Driehaus Life Sciences Fund, says that while investors are focused on the coronavirus pandemic and the companies poised to cash in on developing a vaccine, the next decade for life-sciences stocks should include wide-ranging personal health developments combatting things like heart disease and cancer that will still be among the nation's biggest killers long after the virus has passed. Caldwell suggests investors focus on the long-term and the more permanent opportunities, noting that some of the public funding to combat Covid-19 will contribute to advances in many other areas. Also on the show, author Steve Vernon talks about his latest book on the steps investors can take to avoid going broke in retirement, Matt Schulz of CompareCards.com discusses consumer savings amid the pandemic, and Tom Lydon of ETFTrends.com makes an IPO stock his 'ETF of the Week,' suggesting that investors may want to keep a permanent allocation to new and nascent stocks.

Abhay Deshpande, chief investment officer at Centerstone Investors, says that the market's February-March swoon created the best situation that value investors had seen since the financial crisis of 2008, and that the recent rebound back to record-high ranges hasn't diminished the value prospects for a lot of businesses. Deshpande says that 2020 by the numbers -- rather than the events that have caused them and hijacked the headlines -- is reasonably close to what he might have expected at the start of the year. Also on the show, Tom Lydon of ETFTrends.com picks a brand new fund with ties to the Nasdaq Compiste Index as his 'ETF of the Week,' Matt Schulz of CompareCards.com discusses the impact that a $500 debt repayment will have on the average credit score, and Eric Heyman of the Olstein Strategic Opportunities fund makes his debut talking stocks in the Market Call.

Neil Hennessy, chairman and chief executive at Hennessy Advisors and the Hennessy Funds, says that the stock market has withstood the global pandemic largely because of the underlying strength in corporate balance sheets and the overall economy. Those underpinnings should help ensure that the market doesn't fall too far on bad news and can shake off most events, unlike past crisis times where weak economics exacerbated societal problems and elevated investors' pain levels. Also on the show, Tom Lydon of ETFTrends.com makes a new health-care fund that highlights the technologies brought forth in the pandemic his 'ETF of the Week,' Matthew Schulz of CompareCards.com discusses how credit-card issuers are cutting back on untapped credit limits and old unused accounts as they tighten up in the pandemic, and James Abate of the Centre Funds talks investing defensively in stocks in the Market Call.

Bryce Doty, senior portfolio manager at Sit Fixed Income Advisors, says that the bond market is particularly difficult right now but that domestic issues remain stronger than the rest of the world, and could be buoyed by rates that rise slightly sooner than many people expect. He notes that with the Federal Reserve committed to keeping interest rates in positive territory, rates really only have one direction to go from here. Also on the show, Michael Robinson, chief technology strategist at Money Map Press says in the Market Call that technology companies aren't just good investments right now, they are the reason the economy has been able to avoid a depression, noting that if it weren't for technological advancements the country could not have done as much work-at-home commerce as it has throughout the current pandemic. Tom Lydon of ETFTrends.com makes a gold fund his 'ETF of the Week,' and Matt Schulz of CompareCards.com on how subscription spending of all types has ramped up amid social distancing.

Sarah Ketterer, chief executive officer at Causeway Capital Management, says that the most cyclical stocks -- the ones at the 'epicenter of pain for the coronavirus -- are relatively low-risk bargains for opportunistic investors. She notes that airlines, travel companies, tourism businesses and hospitality and hotel firms -- with stocks down 40 to 60 percents and yet to have any real bounce-back from the March decline -- are worthy of consideration while the blood keeps running in the streets if the balance sheet is strong, noting that if businesses like cruise lines can 'make it another 18 months without a penny of revenue, that's really interesting.' Also on the show, Christine Benz, director of personal finance at Morningstar gives her take on what investors should be doing to get through the pandemic, Jeff Lipton of Oppenheimer and Co. discusses how the potential for states' bankruptcies would change and could impact the muuni bond market, and Matt Schulz of CompareCards.com covers a survey on Americans' household credit status.

Kyle Guske, investment analyst at New Constructs, puts Transamerica Capital Growth Fund into the 'Danger Zone,' noting that the fund is buying the most high-risk, dangerous securities in its asset category. The Transamerica fund has been near the top of the charts in four of the last seven calendar years, but it also has been near the very bottom in the other three of those years; Guske said the holdings in the fund are part of the symptoms that lead to the feast-or-famine performance. Also on the show, Matt Schulz of CompareCards.com talks about Valentine's Day spending habits, Nick DiUlio of InsuranceQuotes.com discusses couples' saving money on insurance, David Stein discusses 'Money for the Rest of Us' and Chuck answers a listener question about the ways he is keeping the change this year. 

Victoria Fernandez, chief market strategist at Crossmark Global Investments, says that investors were looking for reasons for the market to retreat, and found it this week in coronavirus, but could find it further in missed earnings or other headlines. Those perceived dangers may slow the market's uptrend, but they won't make market conditions move from benign to dangerous on the long term. Also on the show, Jake Falcon of HighTower Advisors warns of the dangers of being sucked into news-driven stocks, like those that could profit from coronavirus or fromrecent tensions in the Middle East, Matt Schulz of CompareCards.com talks about how many consumers ignored warnings and took out high-rate retail-store credit cards during the holiday season, and Ben Cook of Hennessy BP Energy and Hennessy BP Midstream talks energy stocks in the Market Call.

Rob Arnott, founding chairman at Research Affiliates, says in a wide-ranging interview that value investing not only isn't dead, but he notes that value stocks currently trade at one-eighth the price of growth stocks, the second-lowest level ever and a strong indicator that bargain stocks are due for a resurgence if investors can remain patient with them. O'Shaughnessy -- the author of 'What Works on Wall Street' and the head of O'Shaughnessy Asset Management -- talks about factor investing, and how investors can set limits on their portfolios without letting emotions ruin their portfolios and returns. Also on the show, Matt Schulz of CompareCards.com discusses the surprisingly large percentage of Americans who cried over their finances and money in 2019. 

 Matt Harris, head of investment strategy at HighTower Wealth Management, says that while people are nervous about economic, market and political headlines, that's not showing up in how they act as measured by technical analysis. Harris says that indicators like breadth, the spread of companies rising and falling and more are not typical of a market top or indicating a price drop over the next few months. Also on the show, Chuck talks with author Devon Powers about the business of forecasting the future, discusses Halloween spending with Matt Schulz of CompareCards.com, and revisits his recent chat with Nobel Prize-winning economist Robert Shiller.

Peter Vanderlee of ClearBridge Investments said that between low payout ratios and reasonable rates of growth, investors in dividend-paying stocks should have a positive outlook as they play defense against the slowing economic and market conditions likely to be in place over the next few years. Vanderlee noted that while there has been a flight to safety among investors, they have not bid up dividend-payers to where investors can't get fair values and the occasional bargain. Also on the show, Ray Baraldi and Richard Flahive of HighTower Advisors discussed the processes they believe investors should be following during the 'accumulation phase' of their lifetimes, Matt Schulz of CompareCards.com talked about how many consumers now find back-to-school shopping more stressful and costly than holiday shopping, and Randy Bateman of Balcones Investment Research returned to the Market Call to talk top-down investing and the companies that will benefit from robotics

Debt is a monster and surely deserves your attention, but not until you've done other key financial moves first. YES, really. I'm making the argument that real financial growth actually comes when you ignore your debt and focus on building your savings first. Did you know that SEVEN OUT OF 10 college students have at least one credit card. According to a survey for http://CompareCards.com , 37% have made a late payment and 62% have carried a balance. Debt isn't only an issue of the young, it is seemingly a common denominator in personal finance today. But there is a better way! In this episode of the Dynamic Money show, we’re talking about building a financial foundation first and that the best way to break the debt cycle is to stop attacking it (for at least a short strategic season of life).

Mark Fleming, chief economist at First American Financial, said the housing market is under-built and the lack of inventory has made the market overly sensitive to changes in mortgage rates, a trend he expects to continue at least through the end of the current rate-hike cycle. Also on the show, Matt Schultz discusses the latest survey from CompareCards.com, David Trainer puts two big-name stocks in the Danger Zone, and Noland Langford of Left Brain Capital Management has the Market Call.

Patrick O'Hare, chief market strategist at Briefing.com, said that investors have a ice opportunity to put some money to work based on how everyone was getting panicky over recession talk at the end of last year. He believes the market was overly negative, which has created opportunity, though he thinks gains will be muted and market action will be choppy. Also on the show, Matt Schulz of CompareCards.com discusses why most people would rather lose debt than lose weight this year, Chuck answers an audience question, and Mike Bailey of FBB Capital Partners talks stocks in the Market Call
