I’m asked pretty frequently what I think of the market, and what themes I’m paying attention to. While I don’t think there’s any one theme, event, or headline that should impact your investment allocation, there are certainly some themes I’m tracking more than others. In this episode I cover the top four I’m paying attention to right now: the “Magnificent 7” and the impact on market returns, commercial real estate, the Fed’s dot plot, and the Chinese economy.
