Episode 65: Investment Friday - What Are Current Markets Betting On In 2024? + When Bad News is Good News


Large cap and small cap markets swapped the lead in investment gains on October 19, 2023. The jobs report came in much weaker than expected. And, Black Friday discounts weren't very deep this year! How can you tell if this is good or bad news? And how could these events affect the federal interest rates in 2024?

In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP, APMA, CRPC, talks with Brad Haines, CFA, FRM, and Chief Investment Officer (CIO) of Juncture Wealth Strategies about how to interpret these events as a savvy investor.
