It’s time to talk about S&P 500 envy. Tech companies have become the largest companies in America and the S&P 500 is dominated by tech because we’re talking about a market-weighted average. Tech has benefitted the most from us being in lockdown for COVID-19. There are algorithms out there created by Facebook to keep us engaged. So that means there are algorithms that are basically driving up the S&P 500 because we’re all stuck at home during COVID-19. With the S&P looking so good, why should you diversify with international stocks for the long game? What about investing in healthcare and industrial companies? Plus, what’s going on with Biden’s tax plan? We’ll talk about that and more on today’s episode of New Focus on Wealth with Chad Burton.

Big episode today. Host Chad Burton is doing a deep dive review of Q3 and making some observations about what might be coming up in Q4. Plus…Why is the market up with all of the uncertainty? We’ll ask “Is tech too expensive?” with special guest Titania Hanrahan with BlackRock Technology Opportunities Fund. And of course, we can’t talk about our forecast for Q4 without forecasting what the market will look like under Democrats vs Republicans. A lot of that has to do with Biden’s proposed tax changes. Also, we’re going to review why asset allocation works but might feel disappointing. And finally, let’s talk about planning in a time of crisis by reviewing Roth IRAs and Roth conversions, tax loss harvesting, updating your trust now that “stretch IRA” is no more, and whether to refinance or restructure debt. All of this and more on this super-sized episode of New Focus on Wealth with Chad Burton.
