In today’s Wealth Formula podcast, Buck and Zulfe dive into franchise ownership as a business strategy, emphasizing its appeal for those who excel at execution. They highlight the visibility of capital requirements, expected revenues, and profitability that franchises offer, while also noting the significant time and resources required, making it less of a passive investment.
For this week’s economy and markets update, with the Federal Reserve’s FOMC meetings underway, they discuss the market’s anticipation of a potential rate cut by September and recent market movements, such as the S&P 500’s dip and the rotation out of big tech stocks. They also note stable bond yields, high gold prices, and Bitcoin’s resurgence. Lastly, Buck and Zulfe analyze asset class performance in a slowing economy, comparing real estate, infrastructure, private equity, and more against a backdrop of declining business activity and consumer confidence.
