This Ain’t Your Daddy’s Market!

Time: 3:40 PM EST
Duration: 1:17:21

With markets at all-time highs and interest rates at all-time lows, some of what you’ve learned about investing over the past 50 years needs re-thought! From asset classes to asset allocation, and from individual securities to ETF’s, let’s talk about investing vehicles and strategies. With a pandemic, a work from home revolution, negative yielding bonds in Europe, and an election season unlike any other, it’s a good time to dust off your old investment playbook and take in an update more fitting for the rest of the 21st century. Chris Guinther, Senior Investment Strategist at MONTAG Wealth is here to challenge some tried and true investment mantras. Chris provides some investment ideas that are actionable.

Topics include:

  • A stock market overview
  • Why is the market so high, and is it likely to go higher?
  • How to invest in high growth/high price companies like TSLA, DOCU, and PINS
  • Banks, Staples, Technology, Energy… and all other sectors post-election
  • Perspective on why interest rates are so low and what that means going forward
  • Should you invest in Value or Growth, why, and what’s the difference?
  • Re-open (from lockdown) trades to consider
  • Exchange traded funds (ETFs), what they are, and how they can help
