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.

Chad opens up the Podcast with a brief analysis of various stocks, making note of a handful of large companies whose stock prices are currently down. Chad then goes on to address the impact of COVID-19. Chad notes the market has revealed harm to the travel and leisure industries, including places that are hurt by a lack of physical shoppers at store locations, while many other industries have been unaffected, or thrived during the pandemic.
He then goes on to discuss tax cuts from 2017, noting that retirees benefited greatly. Chad questions the longevity of these tax cuts after noting the direction of politics in the United States. Chad lists the possible election of Joe Biden as president and the push for affordable healthcare for all Americans as a reason to expect taxes to increase in the near future. He notes the need for planning for taxes and explains that technology has made investing easier than ever.
Next, Chad takes a deeper dive into planning for retirement, urging those approaching retirement to manage their risk. Chad notes the importance of staying clear and engaged in chasing your health and retirement goals. He places emphasis on staying on top of your heart leading up to and during retirement, noting that people that spend all of their new free time in retirement obtaining new investment behavior need to focus more on their overall health and continue to trust their long term financial planning and advisors.
Chad moves on to explain that most people will live longer than they expect to and urges people to plan for that. He encourages his clients to live until age 100, and not to retire until they can afford to live that long. Next, he takes on a question from an anonymous listener who has two forms of retirement savings and over $30,000 in debt. The listener asks Chad about what form of investments he should get into. Instead of instructing the listener on new investments, Chad urges him to get rid of his debt.
Chad brings the episode to an end with some final remarks about tax expectations in the future. He lists healthcare, social security, infrastructure, and others as the main reason we can expect raised taxes. Finally, Chad talks about the importance of finding a financial advisor that can do it all for you; a one-stop shop where you don’t feel the pressure of being sold something, rather a place where you can lay everything out and get a birds-eye view of what is currently happening in your financial life, and what could happen in different scenarios.

Are we on the road to recovery? It’s been a rollercoaster of a year with some scary numbers, but consumer confidence is keeping us afloat.
Risk on, risk off. The shortened week of trading was an interesting one to watch as the volatility we have seen this year is akin to Great Depression era. There is more confidence than warranted in this V-shaped recovery as we inch towards a coronavirus vaccine. Even though covid continues to be a strain on the economy, the S&P 500 posted a 3% gain last week and is trading at 22x earnings! Realize your risk tolerance and don’t make emotional mistakes.

What you do when the market is negative is the most important thing. Don’t stray from your financial plan early on and ruin your retirement.
Retiring in the midst of a pandemic is a tricky situation indeed, and how well you manage your expenses these next 10 years will either make or break your retirement. Today I explain what goes into financial plans and how linear cashflow modeling and Monte Carlo simulations can determine if your portfolio will outlast you. Other topics include:

2020 has been a rollercoaster of a year, and it only starts with the pandemic. The S&P 500 was down 20% in Q1 and then Q2 up almost 20% in Q2.
It’s the last day of the second quarter and the S&P 500 is down only about 3% for the year despite the pandemic. This year has been nothing short of a roller coaster and it is reflected in the quarter-to-date returns. In terms of year-to-date returns, real estate is looking like one of the worst asset class to be in. Other topics include:

Ever notice how quickly the media changes its tune? Just look at the difference in coronavirus news this year.
Somedays you wake up and you just don’t want to read the news. It’s hard to trust the media in a pay-per-click world where speculation and speed seems to be more important than factual reporting. For instance, six months ago, when covid was just starting to shut down the economy, all we had to do was wait 12-18 months for a vaccine, yet today the media is filled with stories on how covid is wreaking havoc on small businesses and causing a global recession.

The market has been driven by coronavirus and trade issues lately. Stocks trade based on future cash flow, so ignore the short term and invest for the long run.
Yesterday, White House trade advisor Peter Navarro made it sound like trade deal talks were over, then later claimed his words were taken out of context. Stock market futures proceeded to tumble more than 400 points, but as of this morning, futures are positive for the day. That’s how volatile these things can be. Everything eventually boils down to whether companies are selling more goods or services since stocks trade based on future cash flows. Ignore the short term and invest for the long run.

High real estate prices are apparently no match for low interest rates. Know this before settling on an intrafamily loan.
Real estate has been incredibly expensive for quite some time now and buyers are having trouble saving enough for a proper down payment. Still, there is an urgency for people to get into the house they want while interest rates hover around record lows. The result? There are a lot of intrafamily loans going on. Always be sure to consult a tax advisor and attorney before committing you and your family to this agreement. Other topics:

Are there benefits to owning cruise stocks if nobody is taking a trip on one? Covid is changing how we travel, and it’s taking retirement with it.
Willingness to reopen the economy hinges on your personal health and how covid has affected your life. No matter how quickly that happens, covid is going to change the way we travel. For instance, a cruise is the quintessential retirement vacation, but it may be that cruise ships never recover if we continue to practice social distancing. Today I look at the future of travel and everything that goes with it.

Civil unrest is surging across the nation and historically it hasn’t harmed the market. Rob takes over today to discuss what economic factors do bother him.
What Rob likes about sitting in for me is it makes him think in a big picture way instead of stories. Key economic indicators are weirdly inverted, which is usually a bad sign. Massive amounts of stimulus means markets are rallying higher than pre-covid times, but mounting civil unrest makes you wonder what is enough to derail us. So far, the answer is “No”. Today Rob talks about his biggest issue with the market and what we can do to get over it. Other topics include:

Many small business owners are closing their doors for good. What can the survivors do to stay afloat if we have a second or third Covid outbreak?
I always tell people, if you want to become a small business owner, you need to make 130% more than what you are making now. Self-employment tax, lack of 401k match and health insurance costs add up for the self-employed. Small business owners that get paid in cash, and didn’t report all of their cash income, ended up with fewer benefits under the CAREs act. Being self-employed is great... if you have a plan and know what you need to make to break even Other topics:

Everyone expects corporate REITs to take a dive, right? Here’s a logical argument where the demand for more office space actually increases.
Most real estate investment trust (REITs) are publicly traded stocks with a different tax structure requiring a higher income payout to investors. Some REITs looked expensive before COVID struck and now, with more people working from home, we are left wondering what will happen to office REITs. Will income drop? The gut reaction is to expect them to decline in value, but there is one argument that a greater demand could follow. Other topics:

Is it a tough place to thrive, are we crushing it or is it a bit of both? Topics:

The options for small businesses can be very confusing. Can the SBA even handle the process? Eventually the stock market will bounce back and this will end up being a blank spot in the “timeline” of credit market; in terms of loan and mortgage payments.

The S&P 500 jumped 5% from the beginning of the year to 2/19 then dropped -34% until the recent bottom on March 23rd at which point the market rebounded 15% by the end of March. The S&P 500 is down 20% since the start of the year and small and mid-cap stocks are down even further. The bond market also declined and had the most volatile ride I have ever seen until the feds put in a “backstop” on March 23rd. Listen and find out where I see value, how I am rebalancing and how I am tax loss harvesting. I also talk about the CARES Act and how it helps reduce taxes on RMDs for retirees and provides funding for small business.
