We’re now into the back half of February, and we’ve seen a little bit of volatility in the markets this week because of inflation numbers from January. However, the indexes are still near all-time highs. By the way, have you been watching the Mullooly Asset Show? If not, check it out here.
Here’s what I’ve been reading this morning:
‘Not All Rate Cuts are the Same’ – Ryan Detrick – Carson Group
- After aggressively raising interest rates over the past year, we’re now at the point where people are starting to anticipate rate CUTS. People want to know what to expect. However, not every rate cut scenario is the same. Ryan breaks it down in this post.
‘S&P 5,000 is Here. Now What?’ – Ryan Detrick – Carson Group
- Ryan has been on a roll lately, so we had to include BOTH posts. The S&P 500 has surpassed the 5,000 level for the first time ever. So what does that mean? Is it still a good time to buy? Are we due to go lower?
- As mentioned in the intro, markets are at or near all-time highs. If we’re at all-time highs, we can’t keep going higher, right? Well, not so fast. Ben illustrates what happens when the market is at all-time high levels.
‘Your Questions on Paying Estimated Taxes, Answered’ – Laura Saunders – The Wall Street Journal
- If you end up owing the IRS a lot of money in underpaid taxes, you’ll likely need to make estimated payments the following year. However, estimated tax payments can seem confusing for some folks. Luckily, Laura is here to answer all of your questions.
ENJOY!
