Today I respond to your emails regarding market highs post Trump’s election, protecting against inflation, paying off your mortgage and more.

I give my thoughts on several topics emailed in by you, the listeners. First off I’ll talk about Donald Trump and the markets response immediately following his election. I discuss drivers that can continue to push the market higher and issues that could cause a pullback. How does this compare to last year when our main concerns included the oil decline, rate hikes and Apple’s problems in China? Other topics include:

• Should you take profits while the market is high and pay down home equity?
• Where is a good place to invest emergency funds?
• What should we do to protect our portfolios from inflation?
• What is the correct strategy for this couple with difference risk tolerances and can’t agree how to invest
