Episode 125: Investment Friday - How Could Markets React to the Rate Cuts? + A Look at the Presidential Candidates’ Economic Plans With Brad Haines


This week the Fed announced a .5% interest rate cut and several subsequent cuts into 2026. What does history tell us about market behavior when rates are cut and what can we expect moving forward?

Option contracts are also expiring this week, also known as “triple witching”. How do option contracts work, anyway?

The Wharton School ran a 10-year analysis of the economic/tax plans put forward by the two main presidential candidates. How would your home (and the country) fare?

…Speaking of policy, what would happen to the economy if we deported undocumented workers out of the country?
