Job Market; Natural Gas/Oil; Rental Real Estate; Buffett Indicator; Market Drivers

AMR's CEO, Chris Boyd, CFP®, Lead Financial Planner, Scott Birmingham, CFP®, and CIO, Brian Regan, CFA®, open the show talking about the job market environment and its implications on the Federal Reserve's rate hike outlook. They discuss the change in natural gas flow through Europe's Nord Stream pipeline, what it means for that region, and then mention US petroleum reserve levels and what that means.

The Team shifts gears to discussing the rental housing market, where finding affordable rental housing has been a challenge as they mention the importance of having housing options. 

They cover the Buffett Indicator, what it is and how it can be a good indicator of an overvalued or undervalued market environment. Brian cautions us on relying too much on one particular data point.

They discuss whether it’s better to start your retirement investments during a bull market vs bear market.

AMR's Marketing Director, Cathi Ingersoll, joins as Chris answers questions on market drivers/indicators, college planning, and more.
