Around the Table with Stacy Smith

Everybody has their opinions about what happened in the election and why.  What happens next can be of critical importance to both parties and to the 2028 election. The opinions of my panel of professional politicians, including the chairman of the Pennsylvania Democratic party are coming up in this edition of “Trunk n’ Tails.” 

Wall Street's romance with AI and tech hit a rocky patch at the end of October. Is it just a lover’s spat? Why you should pay attention to what happens to private equity firms and will the outcome of the election have an impact on your investments? My panel’s opinions are coming up in this edition of “The Bull the Bear and You.”

Return on Investment is critical to investing and the tech and AI companies are facing more scrutiny over the amount of money being borrowed and when they can generate returns. And perhaps all of those proposed data centers aren’t necessary. My panel of financial advisors and experts have their opinions in this latest edition of “The Bull, The Bear and You.”

Was everyone invited to the party? Both the NASDAQ and the S&P 500 set new all-time closing highs again with tech and AI leading the way.  But is the rest of the market doing as well?  My panel of financial advisors and experts talk about the concerns the market faces.  We also discuss the impact of consumer spending and is it the right time to invest in bonds?  I think you’ll find this edition of “The Bull, The Bear and You” interesting.

Are Republicans in trouble for the midterm election? It is a “no holds barred” and honest discussion about the midterm election, and who will win by my panel of political veterans and experts, including the current PA Democratic Party Chair and Former Governor and Republican Tom Corbett. My other two panelists, political veterans, Joe Mistick and Keith Schmidt, don’t hold back.  It’s a critical look at what both parties are facing heading into the midterm and after. 

AI is dominating the conversation, and it has permeated every sector of investing.  So, can you still have a diversified portfolio and is there a concern the AI companies are borrowing too much?  My panelists also discuss whether it might be time to look at investing in bonds to help diversify your holdings. It is a great discussion in this latest edition of “The Bull, The Bear and You.”

Is butter an inflation indicator? That is what one of my panelists says in the latest edition of “The Bull, The Bear and You.” Also a prediction that one or more of the big AI companies capturing the headlines won’t be around in 5 years, and we discuss if there are signs pointing to more volatility in the markets and what could trigger it.  I think you’ll find this edition informative. 

There is always something on the horizon for Wall Street and this week it’s a trio of possible market movers. My panel of financial experts have their opinions on how the Nvidia earnings report, the latest inflation numbers and the Fed Chair’s speech on Friday will impact the markets.  You can hear their opinions in the latest edition of “The Bull, The Bear and You.”

There is no question AI is the biggest topic of discussion on Wall Street and Main Street, but is AI transforming the economy and how much risk is there with the trillions of dollars being invested in AI?   My panel of financial advisors and experts give their opinion on that and how important now is the housing industry to the economy?  It is all in this edition of “The Bull, The Bear and You.”

The MAGA movement and Democratic Socialists.  Each party has its factions and with the Midterm Election three months away will each party be able to unite their different camps? That is what former Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett and political expert Keith Schmidt discuss from the GOP viewpoint in this edition of “Trunk n’ Tails
