Money Life with Chuck Jaffe - A podcast by Chuck Jaffe

Crit Thomas, global market strategist at Touchstone Investments, says that while returns may slow down from the high and unexpected levels achieved in 2019, he expects the domestic stock market to have another positive run in the New Year, even if it is muted by recent standards. Thomas said investors need to be picky and selective in investing in developed Europe and emerging markets, where some great bargains could be hidden among bigger trends that have the potential to drag down the markets as a whole. Also on the show, Jeff Lipton of Oppenheimer and Co. talks the municipal-bond market and its spectacular results in 2019, Russell Robinson of Capital Institutional Services talks about trading illiquid and lesser-known closed-end funds and how the market remains stable and solvent, and Leo Leydon of Financial Focyus Advisory Services gives his technical outlook for 2020, and it's a good one.
