A few years ago, the leftist publication The Intercept claimed that inflation only hurts the “one percent,” but is “good” for everyone else. The truth is much different, as the Fed's inflationary policies have benefited the politically-connected crony class.Original article: Why the Crony Class Loves Artificially-Low Interest Rates—And Why You Shouldn't

Taxes are just one part of estate planning. People are also asked to consider custody arrangements, medical decisions, and legal issues. But it comes as no surprise that people who have worked their whole lives to build an estate are wary of letting taxes and fees eat away at their hard-earned assets.  Further complicating the current environment is the fact that lifetime estate and gift tax exemption thresholds are poised to be cut in half at the stroke of midnight December 31, 2025, leading to a potentially sharp jump in some estates' tax liability. But there's still time to prepare. On this episode of Financial Decoder, Mark interviews Austin Jarvis, director of estate, trust, and high-net-worth tax at the Schwab Center for Financial Research. They discuss why everyone needs a will, various estate planning documents, and what to do if you have a large estate that might owe more taxes later.You can read articles from Austin Jarvis, including “Estate Planning for Low Interest Rates” and “How to Help Your Grandkids Pay for College” on Schwab.com. Follow Financial Decoder for free on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.Financial Decoder is an original podcast from Charles Schwab.

MIP #420   Inflation Report - With Rich PossonSummaryIn this episode, Casey Seymour and Richard Posson discuss the recent CPI report and its implications for inflation and interest rates. They analyze the surprising inflation numbers and the market's reaction to them. They also explore the impact of inflation on the real estate market and the potential for manufacturing to shift back to the United States. Additionally, they examine the current trends in the real estate market and the effect of low interest rates on home buying. Richard Posson discusses various topics related to the economy, stock market, and interest rates in this conversation. He emphasizes the importance of locking in low-interest rates and the potential impact of the Federal Reserve on inflation. Posson also shares his optimistic outlook for the stock market and economy, highlighting the potential of AI and the importance of long-term trends. He discusses the behavior of companies about inflation and the possibility of a Goldilocks scenario. Additionally, Posson touches on oil prices, the dollar index, and the struggle with interest rates.TakeawaysThe CPI report showed a slight increase in inflation, which surprised the market and raised concerns about the Fed's interest rate decision.The government's inflation calculation differs from private sector calculations, causing confusion and uncertainty.The real estate market is experiencing a shift as interest rates and prices fluctuate, but overall, it remains stable.Manufacturing will likely see a combination of onshoring and investment in emerging markets like India. Locking low-interest rates can provide a cushion and protect against potential increases.Although the Federal Reserve's actions may have contributed to lowering inflation, the free market system and consumer behavior also played a role.The stock market and economy are expected to experience short-term volatility, but the long-term outlook remains positive.Balancing inflation and economic growth is crucial; companies' behavior can impact inflation levels.The potential of AI and the importance of long-term trends should be considered when making investment decisions.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Overview00:38 Understanding the CPI Report04:27 Market Reaction and Fed's Interest Rate Decision05:23 Divergence between Government and Private Inflation Calculations07:14 Impact of Inflation on the Real Estate Market10:57 Interest Rates and the Economy16:02 Manufacturing Shifts and Opportunities21:44 Effect of Low-Interest Rates on Homebuying22:24 Private Sector's Response to Interest Rate Changes22:27 Locking in Low-Interest Rates23:15 The Impact of the Fed on Inflation24:09 The Possibility of a Recession25:06 The Role of the Free Market System25:35 The Effectiveness of the Fed's Actions26:21 Throttle Up, Throttle Down Process27:18 The Bullish Outlook for the Stock Market28:11 Balancing Inflation and Economic Growth29:09 Addressing Inequality and Creating Real Value30:05 Behavior of Companies and Inflation30:35 The Potential for a Goldilocks Scenario31:02 Comparing the Current Market to the Dot-com Bubble31:59 The Long-Term Potential of AI33:27 The Importance of Long-Term Trends34:53 Oil Prices and the Economy35:45 The Dollar Index and Interest Rates37:32 The Uncertainty of the Dollar Index38:30 The Struggle with Interest Rates39:58 The Importance of Inflation Indicators41:44 Short-Term Market Volatility42:01 Richard Posson's PodcastClick To Watch:https://youtu.be/yFcaIZslsucPresented By @AxonTire @AgDirect @IronSolutions @randallreilly @Fusable @Valleytransinc Music By: @TalbottBrothersHost: Casey Seymour @casey9673 #agequipmentbusinesstal #letsgomovesomeiron Contact Me at:MovingIronLLC.commovingironpodcast@movingironpodcast.com

In this episode, Ryan Burklo and Alex Collins discuss the impact of fixed interest rates on financial decisions. They explore how low interest rates can make people feel trapped in their current situations, whether it's buying a new home or making big purchases like cars. The hosts provide three solutions for homeowners, including renting, buying down the interest rate, or managing cashflow. They also discuss the importance of looking at the bigger picture when it comes to interest rates and financial moves. Finally, they emphasize the need to focus on long-term goals and not get caught up in short-term fluctuations. If you would like to learn more about Quantified Financial Partners, please visit our website www.beerandmoney.net Takeaways Low interest rates can make people feel trapped in their current situations.

You may not hear it very often, but did you know that there are downsides to lower interest rates? Yes, you heard that correct, lower interest rates might not be in your best interest, literally. Our guest this week, Jennifer Butcher of GO Mortgage, makes a case for why low rates actually have a negative impact on the market, and how the current rates can actually work in your favor. If you've been sitting on the sidelines because of the current rates she just might make you rethink that. Jennifer shoots it to us straight and provides real life scenarios that apply to you as a buyer or seller, and also as a Realtor facing objections about interest rates. Jennifer also shares the financial implications of renting a home vs buying a home, and the positive benefits of home ownership no matter where the rates are. You just might walk away from this episode viewing home ownership through a much wider lens than just what interest rate you lock in at, and consider its larger impact on building wealth and security in your life. Jennifer has been in the business a long time, is a treasure trove of knowledge, and she is a fantastic educator. We are so excited to share this with you. Let's dive in!

Addison, the mind behind riveting titles like "The Demise of the Dollar," unravels the tangled web of our economy, from Bretton Woods to the pandemic upheaval.We're not just talking numbers here; we're exploring the very fabric of financial history and deciphering the Fed's critical decisions that have sent shockwaves through our pockets and policies. Cryptocurrencies, too, enter the fray as we ponder their place in this economic saga, drawing lines between past fiscal fables and today's tales of digital currency.Expect an enlightening narrative about the high-risk game of low-interest rates and its influence on the investment tableau, especially among the daring, tech-embracing youth. We hear the cautionary tale of a renovation foreman, swayed by his son's digital dreams, whose venture into cryptocurrencies embodies the era's speculative spirit. The episode doesn't stop there; it scrutinizes the domino effect on banks, behemoths like Amazon and Apple, and the sobering reality check served up by Silicon Valley Bank's downfall. We're peeling back the layers of what it means for tech companies and financial institutions as they navigate the end of cheap capital's heyday.Our conversation doesn't shy away from the looming specters of debt and inflation as we dissect their distortion dance, luring consumers into a precarious financial tango. We cast a critical eye on the warning signs that litter the economic landscape, with companies like Kroger fighting to hold down the fort on prices. The discussion travels through the socio-economic terrain shaped by trade wars, dwindling personal savings, and the resurgence of union movements. As we traverse this complex terrain, we confront the ripples of these trends across the nation, especially in the charged climate of an election year, and reflect on the intricate dance of manufacturing, trade, and the overarching narrative of an economy in flux.As you're inspired to embark on your side hustle journey after listening to this episode, you might wonder where to start or how to make your vision a reality.

Two factors are driving growing interest in fixed income exchange-traded funds. First, bonds are back with yields at attractive levels relative to the era of low interest rates.

Summary notes: The current financial system is a fractional reserve banking system, which means banks lend out more money than it has in its reserves. If customers withdraw their money all at once, banks cannot cover the amount owed. With fears of financial instability in the banking system, wealthy people (who are aware of the banking system) are moving their money to too-big-to-fail institutions to protect it along with a slow drain of money from the banking system to alternative assets such as bitcoin, stocks, real estate, and gold.  Well known economic experts have been warning of a potential banking crisis, and now that it is here, people are scrambling to figure out what to do with their money long term to counteract the potential inflation that's speculated will be needed to fix the current system.  Timestamps 0:01:27 Overview of Fractional Reserve Banking System and Bank Failures 0:03:43 Analysis of the Current Banking System and the Response from Wealthy Investors 0:07:10 The Impact of Low Interest Rates and Money Creation on Investment Strategies   Join the Wealth Building Made Simple Newsletter waitlist: https://www.wealthbuildingmadesimple.us/subscribe Powered by Stone Hill Wealth Management https://stonehillwealthmanagement.com/    Phillip Washington, Jr. is a registered investment adviser.  Information presented is for educational purposes only and does not intend to make an offer or solicitation for the sale or purchase of any specific securities, investments, or investment strategies.  Investments involve risk and, unless otherwise stated, are not guaranteed.  Be sure to first consult with a qualified financial adviser and/or tax professional before implementing any strategy discussed herein.

Right now, the economy is running hot. Inflation is high, and central banks are pushing up interest rates to fight it. But before the pandemic, economies around the world were stuck in a different rut: low inflation, low interest rates, low growth. In 2013, Larry Summers unearthed an old term from the Great Depression to explain why the economy was in this rut: secular stagnation. The theory resonated with Olivier Blanchard, another leading scholar, because he had made similar observations himself. Larry and Olivier would go on to build a case for why secular stagnation was a defining theory of the economy and why government policies needed to respond to it. They helped reshape many people's understanding of the economy, and suggested that this period of slow growth and low interest rates was here to stay for a long time.But today, Larry and Olivier are no longer the duo they used to be. As inflation has spiked worldwide, interest rates have followed suit. Earlier this year, Larry announced that he was no longer on the secular stagnation train. Olivier, meanwhile, believes we're just going through a minor blip and will return to a period of low interest rates within the near future. He doesn't see the deep forces that led to a long-run decline in interest rates as just vanishing. Who's right? The future of the global economy could depend on the answer.Help support Planet Money by subscribing to Planet Money+ in Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org/planetmoney.

Companies are now looking to be cost neutral when it comes to buying software, meaning that they have to get rid of one tool in order to buy another. It is speculated that this recession is of our own making, due to low interest rates. It is also noted that the essential workforce is not affected by the recession and is in fact doing better. The conversation closes with the idea that luxury problems are now being blown up out of proportion. The conversation discusses the effects of the recession and how it is impacting venture capital funding. It is noted that the majority of venture capital money comes from large university endowments, state employee retirement pension funds, and other organizations which have to maintain certain portfolio allocations. It is suggested that the situation is similar to a Ponzi scheme, with funds from one source covering the losses of another. The conversation concludes by noting that a lot of these organizations have to set aside a portion of their money for alternative investments with higher risk, such as venture capital and real estate. TOPICS:- "Exploring the Mindset Behind 'Growth at All Costs'" - Discussion on the Growth at All Cost Mindset in Bootstrap Companies - "The Impact of Low Interest Rates on the VC-Backed Economy" - Heading: Exploring the Impact of the Recession on Venture Capital Funding - "The Impact of Public Markets on Venture Capital Funds" If you get value from this episode, be sure to subscribe and share the episode with your friends, as we all can benefit from more positivity and leadership in today's society. Be sure to follow Duane Dufault on all the social platforms to get daily hits of tactical advice that you can take action on right away Linkedin | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Youtube | TikTok TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@duanedufaultYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ-F3dkh-tZmg2_Oz28lIHATwitter: https://twitter.com/DuaneDufaultInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/duanedufault/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SaasDuaneLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/duanedufault/
