Why the Federal Budget Deficit Could Trigger the Next Financial Crisis
No one wants to talk about the $1.8 Billion Federal Budget deficit - especially the two candidates running for president and their political parties. But, as Marc Goldwein of the Committee for a Responsible Budget warns, the interest costs alone to serve that debt are approaching 17% of government spending, which is more than we spend on defense, education and healthcare. Both presidential candidates are pushing policies that would only amplify that debt by trillions of dollars over the next decade, bringing with it inflation, high interest rates, a debt spiral and a massive devaluing of U.S. Treasuries. The debt matters, but don't tell Washington D.C.

How to Have the Most Challenging Financial Conversations in Our Lives
We don't like talking about money - especially among family. But family finances are the most important finances in our lives, so breaking through those barriers can unlock a lot of opportunity and prevent a lot of stress down the road. Financial advisors Luis Rosa, Anna N'Jie Konte and Denise Zapata get up close and personal at the SER Latino Summit in La Jolla to talk about the most challenging conversations they have with their clients, how to break the cycle of debt, and how to teach the power of investing and compounding to communities that have little faith in the financial system. Plus, the stock market keeps making record highs as this bull market celebrates its second birthday. The good news for investors is how young this bull is, historically speaking, and how balanced this rally has become.

How the Trolls Took Over Wall Street, and Where They are Now
Nathaniel Popper joins The Express to talk about his latest book, "The Trolls of Wall Street: How the Outcasts and Insurgents are Hacking the Markets", and explains the origins of meme stock explosion which actually took root during Occupy Wall Street, and made their way through online forums like 4chan where throngs of disillusioned young men found community in the stock market. Popper draws the through-line from the Great Financial Crisis through the birth of Robinhood, Reddit and ultimately wallstreetbets, where trolling is the language of trading. If you thought this community of traders went away with the pandemic - think again. They are here to stay, and that could be good news for all investors.

Making the Case Against the 401(k)
Professor Teresa Ghilarducci, a labor economist and retirement expert at The New School for Social Research, has been arguing for years that the 401(k), which was never intended to be the primary retirement savings vehicle for most American workers, only helps high earners and is riddled with misaligned incentives. She joins The Express to make the case for a new government sponsored retirement savings account that she says is more equitable and provides a pathway to allowing workers to not run out of money once they stop working. Plus, new record highs keep coming for the stock market, but by all accounts, this bull market is pretty tame.

Why the U.S. Real Estate Market Might Be Healthier Than We Think
Julian Hebron of The Basis Point rejoins the show to myth-bust many of the media reports that have painted the real estate market with a broken brush. From affordability to supply, and the impact of A.I. to the seminal broker commission settlement, Julian shows why potential homebuyers and sellers are in the sweetest spot they've been in for years. Plus, more investors are sniffing around the junk bond market in search of higher and higher yields, but the rising stench of defaults is sending our warning winds. And, while the stock market makes new record highs behind the strength of Nvidia, consumer discretionary stocks have not been invited to the party.

Putting Stock Market Pullbacks into Perspective
Sam Stovall, Chief Investment Strategist at CFRA, rejoins The Express to put stock market pullbacks in perspective, and why the recent declines are to be expected and relatively minor given historical averages. Plus, there is a growing chorus of Fed presidents who don't think interest rate cuts are warranted at all this year given the hot labor market and persistent inflation. Do investors and savers need to get used to, "higher until whenever", for interest rates, which might explain the heaviest inflows into money market funds that we've witnessed all year? Also, glam-metal legends KISS sells its catalogue and its NIL for $300 million as Name, Image and Likeness moves from the field to the recording industry.

Can Cannabis Tourism Save California's Cannabis Industry?
Cannabis sales and prices are falling apart in the Golden State as overproduction and a glut of dispensaries have far outpaced demand. Can cannabis tourism rescue the industry, or will the stigma of the Schedule 1 controlled substance linger over a state that has been built on family fun destinations like Disneyland and Universal Studios? From the Visit California Outlook Forum in Palm Springs, a panel conversation with Peter Gamez, the President and CEO of Visit Oakland, Wendy Hasse-Roberts, the President and CEO of Travel Santa Ana, and Brian Applegarth of Destination Cannabis. Plus, sector rotation is under way in the stock market as energy stocks take the lead and tech stalls. Is this a sign of lower lows for the market, or just a reset and a wink back at the year 1995?

Joe Davis, Vanguard's Chief Global Economist, explains why the return of "Sound Money", with interest rates higher than the rate of inflation, will be good news for long-term investors, but will mean more muted returns for stocks than the past ten years. Plus, why he fears the Fed may cut too soon in 2024, bringing back memories of 1967. And, 2023 delivered some banner returns for certain stocks across sectors.
