Feelings vs. Facts – As a follow up to a recent discussion about how the majority of
Americans feel as if the economy is in a recession and the financial markets are
struggling, Brian Regan joins Chris Boyd and Jeff Perry to talk about how the
emotions/feelings of many clients do not match the data. Chris proposes a theory that
much of this disconnect is related to how inflation has put pressure on household budgets.
Jeff weights in that the presidential election, increasing national debt, and wars in the
Middle East and Ukraine add to investor concerns. Brian brings in a variety of data
points which demonstrates that the feelings of investors are not correlated with the
strength of the US economy or the financial markets. At the end of the episode Jeff and
Chris discuss the growing trend of investors considering Roth IRA conversions.

The work-from-home stocks – Brian Regan joins Chris Boyd and Jeff Perry for a
conversation about the work-from-home pandemic era stocks, including Zoom, Twilio,
and Peloton. The trio discusses how each company exemplifies the highs and lows of
pandemic-fueled growth and the challenges of sustaining momentum in a post-
pandemic world. Brian offers his commentary whether any of these companies are
investable now “that they’ve fallen back to earth?” Not just for the specific stocks
discussed, but as the dust of the pandemic settles, the dialogue continues how these
types of companies are facing the critical task of redefining their paths for top line and
operating margin growth in an ever-changing work environment.
