Podcast appearances and mentions of Matt Schulz

Matt Schulz says 1 in 4 "BNPL" users are using the loan to buy groceries. He dives into data about why people turn to buy-now, pay-later rather than traditional credit cards. Year-to-date, Matt adds "it's not unusual for credit card debt to fall off in 1Q, as people pay off their holiday spend" but he does say that fall off in auto payment debt was unusual. Matt cautions investors about the rise in student loan delinquencies which he believes could lead to "all delinquencies" rising by year-end.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Interest rates can make you blush so it's important to get things paid down when you can. It usually takes five months to pay back the debt accrued during holiday shopping.

David Souccar, international equity portfolio manager at Vontobel Quality Growth, says that the interest-rate cutting cycle is going to help international equities, as foreign central banks follow the Federal Reserve's moves, which should help foster a softer landing worldwide.  That said, Souccar notes that if the United States starts raising tariffs radically, it will hurt the dollar, which will make investors want to invest internationally to protect against the dollar's falling value against other currencies. Souccar notes that investors are likely to find the most opportunity in Europe — particularly in Great Britain — Canada and Japan.

Matt Schulz is the PERFECT mentor to teach us how to negotiate because, in his own words, he's not a natural negotiator. Today he proves that you don't have to be a natural to find better deals on your credit card interest rates, prescription, rental cars, hotel rooms, and more. He'll walk us through the common misconceptions around negotiating and help us learn to ask politely for more for ourselves. In our headline segment, small company stocks are struggling to keep up with the S&P 500. Why would someone stay diversified when large companies are doing so well and other stocks are not? We'll walk through the science of diversification and why it's a mistake to bail on underperforming asset classes during down periods. Of course, that's not all. We'll share some of Doug's trivia, answer a question from a Stacker about emergency fund interest rates, and more!

Sameer Samana, senior global market strategist at the Wells Fargo Investment Institute, says that the market's recent rally appears to have run out of steam, requiring "a little bit of a breather" before the market makes more real upward progress. He expects a 5 to 10 percent pullback, with Standard & Poor's 500 using the 5,000 level as its new support level and the uptrend only being threatened if the sell-off pushes it below 4,600.

Recent news headlines indicate that consumers shopped big this past holiday season, and retail numbers, on the surface, appeared to be up. But given notable economic pressures like record-high inflation, how much of that was just paying ‘more' for ‘less'? And how can consumers make sure they're getting the best possible deal when using credit?  This week's guest on The SCORE is Matt Schulz, Chief Credit Analyst at Lending Tree, America's largest marketplace for loans. Matt joins The SCORE to explain common mistakes consumers make when rate shopping as well as reasons why he thinks “people have more power over their money than they realize.” He also explores how the rise of buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) services will continue to transform consumer finance, why credit usage reflects consumer sentiment, and how credit card lenders will continue to compete in the new lending marketplace. Listen to the episode here.  

In this episode, Josh interviews Matt Schulz, Chief Credit Analyst at LendingTree. They start by discussing the high levels of consumer debt and the impact of credit card interest rates.

They also touch on the challenges of credit card fraud protection and the limitations in disputing charges.

For years, Chuck has offered the kids in his neighborhood a chance to pick cash or candy, to decide between a trade or a treat. Every Halloween, however, Chuck tweaks the game, making a few subtle changes to keep things interesting for him and the kids. This year, he is changing something he never expected to change, ever, and he talks about how Halloween will work at his house -- and maybe yours if you follow suit -- come Oct. 31. Plus, Andrew Krei, co-chief investment officer at Crescent Grove Advisors, talks about how the higher-for-longer rate environment -- coupled with the narrow stock market -- has given investors an opportunity to reposition and rebalance portfolios to play defense while being compensated with better yields, but he does warn that there may be more maneuvering to do once rates start to fall again. Matt Schulz, chief credit analyst at LendingTree discusses record credit-card rates and the alarming number of lenders now issuing cards with a 29.99 percent rate or higher. In the Market Call, Tom McIntyre of McINtyre Freedman and Flynn -- the first-ever Market Call guest in the history of the show -- returns to discuss where current events have him investing now.

Paul Seaton, managing director at Fulcrum Asset Management North America, thinks that persistent inflation and a potential recession leave the equity markets vulnerable during the second half of 2023, and while he is not expecting a volatile downturn as a result, he does think investors need to check their expectations and not get carried away by the market's gains to this point in the year. Ken Berman, founder and chief strategist at Gorilla Trades, says that the market's technicals are more mixed than they have been in years, creating a range-bound market where the downside is limited while the market takes time to gather the base for the start of the next secular bull market cycle. In the 'Find Me The Money' segment, forensic accountant Tracy Coenen discusses the financial hide-and-seek games that some spouses start playing at a point when they start to believe that a marital split is likely. Plus, Matt Schulz of Lending Tree on how much parents are spending on average for their kids' extracurricular activities.

KGMI's Joe Teehan talks to credit analyst Matt Schulz about rising credit card interest rates in the U.S.

In this episode we're talking about the dangers of debt in a rising rate environment, and how to deal with it. The Federal Reserve has now raised interest rates nine times in the last year. The idea of higher rates is to put the brakes on the economy in order to slow inflation. All good, until someone gets hurt. And who gets hurt by higher rates? Consumers who need to borrow, that's who. Higher rates mean higher credit card interest, car loan interest, personal loan interest and mortgage interest. And for many folks, that's a big deal. In fact, higher rates can price people out of a purchase entirely. It also means higher minimums and more difficulty paying down debt. So let's talk about what you can do to ease the pain.

Jeffrey Hirsch, editor-in-chief of the Stock Traders' Almanac, discusses 'calendar effects' -- the traditional 'Sell in May and go away; buy in October to get yourself sober' strategy that may not kick in this year until as late as June, but which should involve avoiding the worst of the year and a lot of market softness but no recession. Hirsch notes that since World War II the market has made most of its gains between October and April and this year is no exception, which will leave the market looking at a squishy, back-and-forth summer before things pick up again near the end of the year. Also on the show, Liz Weston of NerdWallet discusses how people can and should consider Social Security in ways that will maximize their payouts, delivering the best long-term impacts of the program; David Trainer of New Constructs puts First Solar -- a stock that's a darling of ESG funds -- into the Danger Zone, anticipating an earnings miss, and Matt Schulz of LendingTree discusses the site's latest survey showing what happens when parents give children access to their credit and debit cards.

LendingTree chief credit analyst says inflation touched practically every aspect of our lives in 2022 and will likely do the same in 2023. 'When the cost of seemingly everything keeps rising with no end in sight .. It shrinks Americans' financial margin for error down to basically nothing.'

Mike Liss, portfolio manager for the American Century Value fund -- who uses a relative-value approach and is always trying to find the stocks that are "most undervalued" --  says that there has been a shift in what represents a great risk-reward since the beginning of 2022. While energy stocks remain a reasonable value, Liss says that health care, industrial and real estate investment trusts are areas that have become particularly attractive entering the new year. Also on the show, Tom Lydon of VettaFi makes a small, young fund that focuses on offsetting carbon emissions as his ETF of the Week, Matt Schulz of LendingTree discusses holiday financial stress and how inflation and rising interest rates are contributing to consumers' agitation this year, and Chuck talks about Wednesday's news that the Securities and Exchange Commission is advancing its first big changes to trading rules in nearly two decades.

David Goerz, chief executive officer at Strategic Frontier Management, says that some well-known blue-chip companies are trading at single-digit price-earnings ratios lower than in the last two decades, creating opportunities for investors, but we are in an environment where investors could sell stocks and buy bonds expecting a better return, and the only asset class that he thinks can generate a positive return is cash. Goerz defends holding more cash right now despite an inflation rate that ultimately gives cash investments a negative real return, noting that losing a little ground to inflation is still a better outcome than losing a lot of ground in stocks and bonds. Also on the show, Matt Schulz, chief credit analyst at LendingTree, discusses a survey showing that nearly everyone across the country is planning to celebrate Halloween and plans to spend more money doing it, Kyle Guske of New Constructs puts a stock in The Danger Zone that he says was not rescued by a white knight recently but was instead pushed to the brink, and Manny Weintraub of Spears Abacus talks about finding compounders and other "super great stocks that are not going to kill you."

So today we're talking with LendingTree's Matt Schulz who breaks down how much we'll actually spend and how to better budget for the sports we can't live without.

Many of the survey results discussed include Gen Z'ers are much more likely to make emotional financial decisions affected by current events, news cycles, and politics. The biggest take away bing nearly 40% of investors pulled money from stock market in past year due to current events, and many regret It.

Kathy Boyle, president of Chapin Hill Advisors, says she expects the stock market to go through a "very bad period" ahead, the result of a recession that she thinks is brewing right now, a hunch that is supported by an inverted yield curve, high inflation and other conditions.
