New episode of the Main Street Money podcast is live. This week was one of the most consequential stretches of 2026 so far. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq pushed to record highs, even as the Federal Reserve held rates steady in a sharply divided 8–4 vote.

Strong earnings and optimism are pushing equities higher, even in the face of inflation, geopolitical tension, and policy uncertainty. If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to invest, this week is a reminder of how quickly markets can move. Listen now to stay informed and understand what it means for your financial plan.
