Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. On this episode, Jeff and Jake spend a bit of time on the S&P 500 Index and how investors are reacting, or perhaps not reacting, to things that historically they have, which can be a dangerous thing to do. After continuing on with the rest of our weekly market updates, we start out with a jobs report and some details on how a jobs report is obtained. Throughout this entire episode Jake tries his best to remind everyone listening, all three of you, that they are in no way favoring any president or former president. More reports are next up on the show, oh yay. The Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and the Census Bureau report on imports and exports. Jake uses a strong word when starting out the final topic, why is the U.S. economy doing so dern good compared to most every other major economy. At this point I'll apologize for using the D word but Jake said it first.
