Another Fed meeting and another disappointment for someone. We look at the CPI numbers and then the Fed decision to pause on rate hikes and it make me scratch my head in confusion. They say they are worried about inflation, and maybe raising rates 1-2 more times this year, yet inflation is dropping quickly, the economy seems to be fine and interest rates are higher than they have been in 20 years.  Are we living in the twilight zone, Alice and Wonderland, or fantasy land. it's not entirely clear, but one thing is clear... The Fed is determined to squash inflation no matter what.  If they keep on this path, it leads to deflation, which is another boogieman they are afraid of. We will see which monster under the bed they are afraid of most. Both are bad choices, but they cannot sit this one out.  I'm still sticking to my claim that we could hit 0% inflation by year end. We are halfway through the year and accelerating towards that number. I might hit the target earlier than expected. Join us this week for another exciting episode about what the end of world looks like. Don't hate us for being optimists 🙂 Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Phil Weiss | Apprise Wealth Management Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MTIPodcast

Congratulations to all of you who survived the debt ceiling debate. Wow. That was a close one... Not really. The markets almost flinched for a half a day... Meanwhile in fantasyland the politicians were telling us how the US would default, we would mint a 1 trillion dollar coin and they would resurrect Abe Lincoln. Well maybe no the last part, but I'm sure they were thinking it. This week we discuss what they put into this historic bill (maybe historic is an exaggeration). But we will talk about it. Also on a more exciting topic. The real estate crisis and recession that are both on pause until further notice.  We have an exciting show planned for you.. And that part is not sarcastic.  Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | ProCollege Planners Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MTIPodcast

The scary debt ceiling default talking points are behind us... or are they? As you know, we have predicted this was a farce long before the solution was (sort of) agreed to. Can you imagine a situation where the debt ceiling is not raised? Me neither. And "should" has nothing to do with it. This week we discuss the debt ceiling and housing issues. Did you know the average mortgage rate in the US is 8.164%? wow. no words. And you know I'm not short on words.

We discuss why you should consider having at least some farmland in your portfolio.
