On radio, on YouTube, streaming live on Invest Talk.

And for our podcast subscribers, this is Invest Talk, above average investing for the average investor.

Invest Talk is made possible by KPP Financial, a registered investment advisor firm, serving clients throughout the United States.

Here is KPP Financial portfolio manager Luke Guerrero. Good afternoon fellow investors and welcome back to Invest Talk.

I'm Luke Guerrero and it is Friday, August 30th, 2024.

Now congratulations is in order for all of us for making it to another weekend and this one hopefully for you as it is for me a long weekend over the holiday and September begins, we should reflect on what has been certainly an interesting month,

a month with picked up volatility, month with therefore wider market swings, a month that was still positive, but an eventful month, nonetheless.

And September brings a lot as well.

Potential fed rate cuts on the horizon, more employment data, more macro data, moving ever closer to an election which can bring itself uncertainty and change.

And so our job is to help separate the signals from the noise, help to move through an inherently

uncertain time and interpret and find ways to improve our lives, improve our health, but

also improve our financial health.

And so today we will do more of the same, we'll bring you

some educational items, we'll bring you actionable items, we'll talk about

some interesting stories, we'll sum up the month of August and we'll talk about

the market. But before we'll talk about the market.

But before we do any of that, before we talk about today's market performance,

before we run down today's show topics,

and before we answer hopefully some of your live calls,

and your invest talk,

YouTube comment questions.

Let's get to our first voicemail call now.
