2021 Outlook: Stocks and Housing

Predicting the future is a tricky endeavor, but if you’re going to succeed as an investor, it’s important to try. Because stock prices are nothing more than the present value of future earnings, and those earnings often hinge on the direction of the economy.

That’s what this week’s “Money!” podcast is about: reading the tea leaves to try to predict what will happen to stocks and housing in 2021. We recorded it one day after the insurrection at the Capitol and the Democratic takeover of the U.S. Senate.

Think stocks will continue to shine in 2021? Will rates rise? Will the housing market continue to march higher? Nobody knows, but we’re ready to take some educated guesses.

As usual, my co-host will be financial journalist Miranda Marquit.

Not familiar with podcasts?

A podcast is basically a radio show you can listen to anytime, either by downloading it to your smartphone or other device, or by listening online.

They’re totally free. They can be any length (ours are typically about a half-hour), feature any number of people and cover any topic you can possibly think of. You can listen at home, in the car, while jogging or, if you’re like me, when riding your bike.

You can listen to our latest podcasts here or download them to your phone from any number of places, including Apple, Spotify, RadioPublic, Stitcher and RSS.

If you haven’t listened to a podcast yet, give it a try, then subscribe to ours. You’ll be glad you did!
