Ellison says rate cuts aren't helping the financial services industry
Money Life with Chuck Jaffe - A podcast by Chuck Jaffe
Categories:
David Ellison, manager of the Hennessy Large-Cap and Small-Cap Financial funds, says we are seeing a unique decline in interest rates because cuts historically were supposed to help out financial institutions, making it easier to make loans, unload bad debts and improve margins. With rates at historic lows, however, cuts aren't really providing financial firms with any help, Ellison says, making the entire sector tougher to read. Also on the show, Richard Howe of Stock Spinoff Investing makes his debut in the Market Call, Andy Provencher of BNY Mellon Investment Management discusses how little average Americans know about fixed-income investing, and Chuck reveals the results of his 'Cash-or-Candy' Halloween.
