Weekly Market Insights July 1 - 5, 2024

Welcome 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... or maybe it was inconsistently consistent data? Who knows...They continue on to spend quite a bit of time on shipping, both domestic and international, all over the world, and why that affects prices so much.
