Show Notes

Derek Moore and Jay Pestrichelli, CEO of ZEGA Financial, ask whether forward PE ratios are predictive of future market direction? Then they review how the S&P 500 Index has performed during each presidential election going back to 1996. Does it matter which party (Republicans or Democrats) are in office for markets? Is Tesla going to get kicked out of the Magnificent 7? Later Jay and Derek are joined by two Gen Z'ers (Zander and Bobby), to explore what their views are on money, markets, and take some questions.
