Happy Valentine's Day!!!! On this dedicated day of love, Jeff and Jake start us out, as they typically do, with this week's market update. Following that update is some information on inflation. Jake tries to sell someone a $97 pencil. Talk about a rip off. And goes on to make me wonder how much time he's spent researching chickens. Jeff talks about retail sales which, by the end, looped back around to inflation again.

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...2025-02-0847 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights January 27 - 31, 2025Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. This week, Jake keeps it short. After hearing how the broad market, treasury yields, and crude oil did this week, we hear a bit on the 2024 GDP estimates. But, what is the GDP and how is it obtained? Next, there are some recent publishings that Jake feels the need to talk about. I zoned out, so you're just going to have to listen for yourself. It was probably interesting, especially when Joe and Frank start talking about a pool tool dinglehopper...2025-02-0128 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights January 21 - 24, 2025Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. In this week's episode Jeff and Jake try to figure out how to invest in the opposite of futures, the past (pastures?)! If only it was that easy, I'd never lose money in the market. Our first topic big topic this week, after the market update, is on oil prices. President Trump has said he wants to drill drill drill! But, is it that easy? If you continue to listen, Social Security is next on the chopping block. If you're like...2025-01-2540 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights January 3 - 10, 2025Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. After Jeff and Jake open this first whole week of 2025's podcast with their typical market indicators, they go into a bit on oil prices and why we've seen an increase this week. The next big topic for the week is on employment numbers. Does the immigration of people into the U.S. help or hurt our employment numbers? Next up on the chopping block is the long-term changes currently happening in the American workforce: changes such as the percentage of...2025-01-1348 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights December 30, 2024 - January 3, 2025Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. It's here folks, the first podcast of 2025 and if you can figure out what in the world these two are talking about for the first minute and a half, or maybe the whole podcast, give yourself a pat on the back. While not at their best, but still better than I could do, Jeff and Jake give us the first week's market movement for 2025. For those of you who may have decided to start listening to the podcast this week, the...2025-01-0446 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights December 23 - 27, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jake is a little stumbly to start us out during our last podcast of 2024. As you may have guessed, we start this week's podcast out with an update on this week's three-and-a-half-day market. For some reason, the days between Christmas and New Year tend to have very little economic news to report on so, Jake goes on to do a bit of 2024 comparison between the U.S. and other parts of the world. As you've heard for the last many weeks...2024-12-2841 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights December 16 - 20, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jeff and Jake eventually got around to filling us in on this week's less than favorable market changes. Then went on tell us about the Fed's rate decisions for this week and likely, the near future. After listening to lots of abbreviations, I started to wonder if maybe they should just start recording the entire podcast using the first letter of every word they wanted to use. It would still make about as much sense to me as it does now...2024-12-2144 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights December 9 - 13, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. This week, Jake has a few explanations to throw into the weekly market update, containing this week's S&P 500, CRSP Mid Cap Value, debt markets and crude oil movement. Jake goes on to say that higher inflation is up. Well darn. But why? Then, to pile on the not so good news, oil prices are up. My pocketbook just can't catch a break..... Jake's first big topic is on the pattern of income during different times of economic fluctuations, comparing lower...2024-12-1450 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights December 2 - 6, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jake makes it through our weekly market update without a single overly long explanation or side story. How? Your guess is as good as mine. THEN! he continues on with a straightforward update on what happened in the economy this week. Maybe it was something I said? Anyhow, the big topic for the rest of this episode is on bitcoin. Naturally, Jake starts at the beginning..... Listen in to see how many rabbits' holes Jake makes it down.
This...2024-12-0736 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights November 25 - 29, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. After blowing right through our weekly market update, Jake goes off on probably the wildest tangent I've heard on this podcast as he adds a topic in the spur of the moment on oil and energy. Our first official topic is on personal income and prices. This is followed by a talk on real estate and mortgage rates. Then comes China. China is in a bad spot and it's not likely to get better tomorrow. What might that lead to? If...2024-11-3049 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights November 18 - 22, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. As if it were a big surprise, this episode starts out with an update on your most loved market indicators. Jake helps explains the flat curve (???) of the interest yield curve. This explanation leads into a longer discussion about PMIs and tariffs. Once again there is talk about how well the U.S. is doing and the even more bleak outlook of other countries. On a side note, I've started planning my trip to the E.U. Jeff throws in a...2024-11-2344 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights November 11 - 15, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. This week's S&P 500 Stock Index and CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index were not a thing of beauty as they have been most of this year, but as they say, it could have been worse. After our market updates, we start out with tariffs. While tariffs may be imposed on specific goods or countries, it's not the shipper that pays those tariffs. So, who does? There is quite a bit of talk about the differences or in some cases, lack...2024-11-1635 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights November 4 - 8, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jake starts us out with our weekly dose of market updates. The main body of the podcast starts out with interest rates. How does the government control inflation by loaning people money? What does the policy goals of the president elect mean for future interest rates? Jake moves onto productivity. He points out that the U.S. is in the lead for productivity. I've had a few jobs that would beg to differ based on a few of my co-workers. Jake...2024-11-0946 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights October 28 - November 1, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. This week, Jeff hits the foam running, jumping right into the market update with only a short Squirrel!!! moment from Jake as he explains what a value and growth company are. Then, listen in as they explain why we're doing better than most the rest of the world, but not in every way. The two hurricanes that hit the Southeast portion of the U.S. have made things a little wonky. The Real Estate portion of the economy, but why? Lastly...2024-11-0235 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights October 7 - 11, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. During the delve into this week's typical market movement, Jeff and Jake give us a bit of insight into just what some of the outstanding numbers the S&P 500 Index look like historically, and is worth a listen if you ask me. Have you ever wondered why the Fed like to see a 2% inflation rate? Why not 0% inflation, gee that sure sounds good to me. Well, the guys explain how a target of 0% inflation is a bad thing. I'm beginning to...2024-10-1255 minThe Personal Wealth CoachLong Historical Precious Metal TrendsWelcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jake has something he just has to get off his chest. After his recent trip to Denmark, where his kids spent some time literally making money, he felt the need to compare buying a house in the year 1000 for a dollar today. Listen in as Jake explains some of the difficulties with comparing precious metal values from years far beyond when monetary values and records were kept with values today. By the end, I bet you might even be saying, "wow...2024-10-0341 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights September 23 - 27, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. After having to listen to Jake ramble a bit about this episode, Jeff comes out swinging with this week's market update. I can't decide whether the S&P 500 Index reaching new heights, or the Treasury yield curve news is more exciting. Although, the prospect of fuel prices going down more is also not terrible news. Then, hold on to your hats, they start talking about politics......everyone's favorite past time. I'm sure by the time everyone has finished listing to this...2024-09-2840 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights September 16 - 20, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. This week starts out similarly to others, with an update on the movements made by the S&P 500 Index and CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index. Jeff gives us a brief note on irrational exuberance followed by a mention that other parts of the economy may be "sane." Maybe he's comparing it to himself..... Then comes the good stuff, interest rates. The majority of this week's economic writings across the interwebs were focused on the Federal Reserve Board's rate change. Jake...2024-09-2136 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights September 9 - 13, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jeff and Jake keep it short and simple when updating us on the usual market indicators we follow. Apparently, the indicators were not afraid to come out and play during a week that ended on a Friday the 13th! The guys go on to speak on some of the reasons inflation... inflated during Covid and is still annoying all of us today. There is some talk about China and I got to wondering, when is the last podcast that didn't mention...2024-09-1439 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights September 3 - 6, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jeff and Jake seemed a teensy bit out of sync for this one. I'll blame it on the 4-day work week. Friday probably came too early for them. They do manage to update us on our preferred market indicators. Listen in to hear their thoughts on how the U.S. is doing compared to other countries such as China and Russia. They also chime in on AI and how it's affecting us even now, in the earlyish stages. Something they've mentioned...2024-09-0734 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights August 26 - 30, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jake..... AND JEFF(!!!!) are at it again this Friday. First, we get an inside peak at what happened to our preferred market indicators during the week. Then, it seems like Jake was super excited to have Jeff back at the foam because they spend a lot of time talking about capacity. I know I'm at capacity when it comes to having to listen to these two. Any pointers on how I increase that? And if you've been feeling a bit down...2024-08-3148 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights August 19 - 23, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. If you were looking at the S&P 500 Index, CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index, U.S. Treasuries, and West Texas Intermediate crude oil markets this week, you'd think things were going swimmingly. Jake updates us on the movement those markets had for the week. Then goes to try and keep your interest about interest......rates (it took me way too long to come up with that.) Some big things happened this week that could indicate where interest rates are headed...2024-08-2427 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights August 12 - 16, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure.

Normally, August is kind of a meh month, however this year, in true 2024 fashion, it's keeping us on our toes. Listen in to hear a bit about current inflation, house prices, and some of the numbers we like to look at from the BLS and BEA. Jake reminds...2024-08-171h 02The Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights August 5 - 9, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure.

He then goes on to explain which news brought the market to its knees this week. Then he starts talking about the almighty planetary economy! Listen in to find out why those pants you love so much might be a knockoff, and why that is definitely...2024-08-0323 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights July 22 - 26, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jake starts us out with our weekly dose of market movement. Then, as far as I can tell, he starts trying to say the ABCs but in a really weird way. He starts out BEA, then GDP followed by PCE and still he started several other times after that, poor guy. We may need to send him back to grade school. Jake explains how much the President, whoever that may be, has on the actual economy. In the last bit of...2024-07-2726 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights July 15 - 19, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure.

This episode, as you may guess, starts with this week's S&P 500 Index, CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index, U.S. Treasuries, and West Texas Intermediate crude oil market happenings. He goes on to explain why the economic indicators indicate that we may be in the clear when it comes to that...2024-07-2031 minThe Personal Wealth CoachThe State of Healthcare in the U.S.Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Healthcare is something I think we all have a love/hate relationship with. We all want to be healthy and happy, however we don't want to pay 3 fingers and a pinky toe to do it. In this episode, Jake speaks about some of the reasons why it is difficult to compare our healthcare to other nations. Generally, little is known about the complex relationships between drug companies and hospitals and just why those relationships can cause prices to be unknown when...2024-07-1935 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights July 8 - 12, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jake droned on alone although for less time than we're used to having to bear. You may notice a slight difference in this podcast. We're trying out a little change. If you didn't notice anything then we've succeeded! But I won't tell you at what....... Jake updates us on this week's S&P 500 Index, CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index, U.S. Treasuries, and West Texas Intermediate crude oil markets for this week. He goes on to tell us a few...2024-07-1314 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights July 1 - 5, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. I think Jeff and Jake may have drunk from the wrong juice this morning, or maybe it was long past its "best by" date. The two alien-like beings start out with an explanation on why they like to reference the S&P 500 Index to the CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index and further, update us on the 4th of July week changes between those, U.S. Treasuries, and West Texas Intermediate crude oil markets. Something came up about consistently inconsistent data...2024-07-0636 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights June 24 - 28, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jake goes at it all by his lonesome this episode and after listening, it seems Jeff is actually the one who brings the comedy to the show. I know, I'm surprised, too. At first, you almost can't blame Jake as he has to start out with the usual S&P 500 Index, CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index, U.S. Treasuries, and West Texas Intermediate crude oil changes. But, with some emphases he almost makes a change of 0.0% sounds super important. Then...2024-06-2941 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights June 17 - 21, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Has anyone else ever wondered how Jeff and Jake would start the show if they weren't both bald and bearded? "We are two guys with a full head of hair!" is kind of an odd flex and just doesn't have the same pizzaz. Anyways, they start us off with this 4-day week's S&P 500 Index, CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index, U.S. Treasuries, and West Texas Intermediate crude oil changes. Then, they go on to discuss changes to our international...2024-06-2231 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights June 10 - 14, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. To start us off.......... BOO! Jeff and Jake try to scare off the two of you that listen, which seems a bit counterproductive because I thought the goal was more listeners, not less. But hey, I just work here . After starting us out with our exciting update on the S&P 500 Index, CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index, U.S. Treasuries, and West Texas Intermediate crude oil changes for the week, they manage to go on for another 30 minutes about the...2024-06-1534 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights June 3 - 7, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jeff and Jake spent the past few days in Tennessee attending a conference listening and speaking to some of the top economists, which you'd think would help them find something to talk about other than the same old economic and market news. Which is why they, once again, start out with bad disclosure "jokes". Hahaha, joking, but really after giving an updating on this week's S&P 500 Index and CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index hops, skips and jumps they move...2024-06-0839 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights May 27- 31, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Grab onto your seats for this. Jeff and Jake start out strong after the intro music and can you guess what they start with? That's right! Disclosures. Then, as you may have guessed, they update us on the weekly S&P 500 Index and CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index numbers. Jake brings up a topic that's probably on most minds, Trump's trial outcome and how it might affect the markets. Is there doom and gloom in our market's future because of...2024-06-0134 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights May 20 - 24, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Before we get started, we will give you a moment to get your preferred search engine ready. Now, go ahead and type in the word "bifurcation" (thank the tech gods for spell check). This episode, Jeff and Jake start out with their weekly rambling on the S&P 500 Index and CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index and the little bit that happened in the week to affect those. Keep on listening (but why?) to hear about a $444 billion oppsie, the bifurcation...2024-05-2543 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights May 13 - 17, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. This week Jeff and Jake start out strong and talk about giving everyone a good pencil...... Listen in to hear their update on this week's S&P 500 Index and CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index movement and what happened this week to affect it. There is even a treat in the show as Jake starts randomly pressing buttons and gives you a bit of music to listen to (which is probably the best 3 seconds of the entire show.) I'd also like...2024-05-1838 minThe Personal Wealth CoachWeekly Market Insights May 6 - 10, 2024Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. As is typical, which is not a term often used in the same sentence with Jeff and Jake, the two bearded, baldies give us a recap on this week's S&P 500 Index and CRSP US Mid Cap Value Index movement. Listen in on their short talks on option trading, student population fluctuation from large districts to smaller districts, and two questions everyone should go and ask the financial institution regarding their IRA.

By the end, they might even give us a science lesson splitting Atoms, and axes just don't cut it.

Two miracles were needed to get this episode record and somehow, both were received. Jake is once again joined by Jeff (first miracle) and somehow, they managed to do it from over 1,100 miles away (second miracle). There is a very slight possibility a third miracle might occur if they manage not to put you to sleep while they provide you a summary of this week's S&P 500 Stock Index (SPX) movement and other market indicators they are known to occasionally update...2024-04-2731 minThe Personal Wealth CoachTreasury Auctions and the Fiduciary RuleWelcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure.
