Hello, everyone, and welcome to this edition of Finance You.

I'm your host, Chris Martinson, CEO of

Peek Financial Investing.com, and back with Paul Kikker of Kiker, Wealth Management, Paul. So good

to be back with you. Wow. We got a lot to talk about today. Oh, we do. These plates keep

spinning and spinning and tilting one way or other, don't they? Yeah. So, Paul, three big things on my plate today. I want to talk today about the Fed because they just came out with another thing where they flap their gums. And reliably, every time the Fed talks, the markets go up. So take that to the bank kind of a moment. Also, you distinguish between a watch and a warning because you're from tornado country, and I'd love to hear how your experience was just the out just this past week. Wow. A watch is when the tornado's on the ground. A warning is maybe something's coming. I want to talk about recession watch today. And, boy, let's talk about dumb money, can we? So that's what I have on my plate. You got anything else? No, we'll follow through with that, and I'll fill in as we go along. You know, the news about Elon Musk and that video coming out, I'm sure we'll get to that, but that's something that I kind of want to talk about, too. Indeed, the magic money machines. If people don't know about that, you should know about that if you have money.

And you, hey, he's just talking about nothing big, Paul, just that maybe the denominator is an unknown thing in the world of money. And we should maybe talk about that because that matters in the

world of money. All right. So the Fed came out. Jerome says, what does you say here? He says, you know, they're

going to hold rate steady. See a little bit slower growth. Higher inflation, I'm not sure

where they're getting that, but that's what they're seeing. I see it a little differently.

I'm looking more at deflation now, but at any rate, it doesn't matter what I think.
