On the first half of the show, Jay looks at this week’s market and economic news.  He checks in on the latest earnings reports from Caterpillar, Apple, and the industrial sector.  He then looks at the Fed’s remarks and weighs in on other factors impacting the markets.  Then on the second half of the show, Jay looks at the dangers lurking in a fixed income portfolio. When is being risk-averse too risky for the sake of your retirement? After you conclude your career or sell your company, you have a right to be financially cautious. At the same time, you can risk being a little too cautious – some retirees invest so timidly that their portfolios barely yield any return. Jay shows you what you can do to gain some inflation protected income.
