This week’s show delved into both current financial market updates and timely tax strategies for 2025. Matt Sudol and Matt Mai highlighted the notable volatility in the market, driven by government shutdowns, Federal Reserve rate considerations, and the outsized influence of the “Magnificent Seven”—the biggest tech-focused companies within the S&P 500. They compared recent returns from these major players to broader market performance and emphasized why diversification is crucial, especially as international markets and bonds begin to recover. The conversation also touched on planning around new tax rules, including expanded state and local tax deductions and bonus senior deductions, urging listeners to review their financial plans before year-end to maximize tax benefits.
