Description

This week, I’ve got 3 major financial headlines for you…
1 - Earnings season got off to a roaring start last week, with most major companies beating analyst expectations, pushing the stock market to yet another new all time high on Friday
2 - Those inflation concerns I keep talking about? Last week we got some actual data that validates them as the Bureau of Labor Statistics released the March Consumer Price Index, up 2.6% over the last year
And 3 - March Retail sales numbers came out last week - and were up nearly 10% from February, boosted by those stimulus checks that went out last month. But the big question is - will that continue in April?

… after that, ahead of this week’s housing market data releases, we will take a deep dive into what drives the housing market. Every day I get questions asking if the housing market is in another bubble? If prices are going to crash again like back in 2008. I’m going to walk through the factors supporting current demand against a building supply shortage that explain exactly why it’s not a bubble and I don’t foresee a housing market crash coming any time soon.
