About this episode
The episode discusses the disparity between Wall Street's performance and the realities faced by consumers on Main Street.
Stocks are up. Consumers are cautious. We unpack the widening gap between Wall Street’s rally and Main Street’s reality, from falling consumer confidence to rising credit card balances. And how you should approach it from an investment perspective.
