Dollars & Sense | Hosted by Joshua Dobi, CFP ®

Your host, Joshua Dobi, CFP®, discusses the far-reaching impact of the Federal Reserve's decisions on various financial aspects of people's lives, including loan rates, savings, and consumer spending. He also provides insights into the recent discussions about potential interest rate cuts, expressing skepticism about the advisability of such cuts at the present time and urging long-term investment strategies.

Joshua then delves into the intersection of sports and finance, highlighting the financial dynamics of professional athletes and the impact of endorsements on their overall compensation. He drew parallels to Tiger Woods' impact on golf and speculated on the potential for increased viewership and higher purses in women's basketball and athletics overall. Joshua also led a discussion on the practical aspects of gold, emphasizing that it is not a currency and is primarily used as an alternative asset in the investing universe. He questions the practicality of using gold for commerce or exchange in the modern world, given that the dollar is no longer backed by gold and its limited use in interbank exchange among nations.

Joshua engages a thought-provoking analysis of the recent surge in market trends and asset classes, exploring possible reasons such as inflation concerns and the performance of other asset classes. He also points out the substantial appreciation in gold prices, citing a 15% increase year to date and comparing it to the recent pullback in the equities markets, particularly in the technology sector. Additionally, he discusses the exceptional growth in bourbon consumption, focusing on the double-digit and close to 20% annualized growth in China and India, respectively, and the implications of this trend in the food universe.

Joshua ventures into the dynamic landscape of the Bitcoin market, emphasizing the recent surge in valuation and the evolving securitization through ETFs. He highlighted the significance of Grayscale as a pioneer in this space and drew attention to the paradoxical trend of increasing Bitcoin prices alongside substantial net withdrawals from the Grayscale ETF.
