Money Life with Chuck Jaffe

Numbers suggest this economy is good for "average people," but here's @yaruss.bsky.social noting that "the average adult human being has one breast and one testicle." He talks about who the economy IS working for in today's #BigInterview.

@jackablin.bsky.social of @cressetcapital.com in this clip says gold is priced as if inflation will be at 10% sometime next year. He doesn't think inflation will get there, so gold has gone way too far (like, anything beyond $2500 might be too far). Wow.

Terri Spath of Zuma Wealth says the scary stuff with the market now may be exactly what makes 2026 turn out to be strong. She explains in this clip from the 2/9 show:

We just taped an interview on a survey showing that like more than 90% of Americans are planning to travel more this year, many to the detriment of their finances. A travel fund would help!

@stovallcfra.bsky.social says "Bull markets don't die of old age, they die of fright, and what they're most afraid of is recession." He doesn't see that for 2026, when he expects a volatile but profitable year ahead for stocks. Here's a clip of the 12/15 #BigInterview:

Joel Litman of Altimetry says that his methods show that valuations aren't nearly as bad as most experts make them out to be. In this clip from today's show, he says we're in "a screaming bull market" that, akin to 1996, has room to run for years.
