In this episode, Signature FD’s Chief Investment Officer Tony Welch joins us to unpack the post-2024 economic landscape, the election’s impact, and how things have affected the S&P 500. We explore the ongoing disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street as the lingering psychological effects of high inflation influence them. We also examine how controlled inflation could potentially benefit veterinarians and small business owners in the coming years.
Listen in as we look at some ways commuting costs and labor inflation affect small businesses, particularly in healthcare. We explore how the recent elections may have contributed to a rise in small business expectations, driven by potential hopes for deregulation and improved conditions. We also touch on the importance of diversification in investment strategies, emphasizing the potential risks of over-concentration in sectors like energy and considering the evolving landscape of private equity.
