Are Electric Vehicles Really Cleaner?
Americans have a serious love affair with cars, and our passion for cars is no secret. Cars have a particular romanticism in America celebrated in songs like Mercury Blues written in 1948 referencing the Ford Brand car model and popularized by Alan Jackson's remake in 1993; movies like the 1968 film Bullitt featuring what is known as one of the best all-time car chase scenes set in the hilly urban streets of San Francisco; and music videos like I Can't Drive 55, the 1984 glam-metal hit by Sammy Hagar relating every American's frustration of driving in commuter traffic; and countless other aspects of American culture.

The WT Wealth Management Bull/Bear Sentiment Indicator
In April of 2021, Chair of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, uttered the phrase transitory inflation for the first time. Inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), had crossed 4.0% and many at the Federal Reserve (Fed) believed the global re-opening surge post-pandemic would result in price increases that are only temporary in nature.

The Battle Between Rates and Inflation
In a short period of time economists have drastically changed their outlook on interest rates for 2024 from a 2023 year-end consensus that the Fed would cut rates 4-6 times to potentially no cuts at all. However, according to rhetoric from Governors at the Federal Reserve, it is a matter of when, not if.

Looking Ahead: A Potential Path for 2024

The Transformative Power of Artificial Intelligence
For those of you who have been following WT Wealth Management articles over the years, you are probably familiar with our belief that a key to successful long-term investing is owning culturally significant companies, which are household names with products or services that most of us use on a daily basis and ones we couldn't imagine living without. These companies are leaders in their respective industries and proactively shape the way we live our lives.

View Disclosure
WT Wealth Management is an SEC registered investment adviser, with in excess of $100 million in assets under management (AUM) with offices in Flagstaff, Scottsdale, Sedona and Tucson, AZ along with Jackson Hole, WY and Las Vegas, NV. WT Wealth Management is a manager of Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs). With SMAs, performance can vary widely from investor to investor as each portfolio is individually constructed and managed. Asset allocation weightings are determined based on a wide array of economic and market conditions the day the funds are invested. In an SMA, each investor may own individual Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), individual equities or mutual funds. As the manager we have the freedom and flexibility to tailor the portfolio to address an individual investor's personal risk tolerance and investment objectives – thus making the account “separate” and distinct from all others we manage. An investment with WT Wealth Management is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. Any opinions expressed are the opinions of WT Wealth Management and its associates only. Information offered is neither an offer to buy or sell securities nor should it be interpreted as personal financial advice. Always seek out the advice of a qualified investment professional before deciding to invest. Investing in stocks, bonds, mutual funds and ETFs carries certain specific risks and part or all of an account's value can be lost. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, narrowly focused investments, investments in smaller companies, sector and/or thematic ETFs and investments in single countries typically exhibit higher volatility. International, Emerging Market and Frontier Market ETFs, mutual funds and individual securities may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability that other nations experience. Individual bonds, bond mutual funds and bond ETFs will typically decrease in value as interest rates rise. A portion of a municipal bond fund's income may be subject to federal or state income taxes or the alternative minimum tax. Capital gains (short and long-term), if any, are subject to capital gains tax. Diversification and asset allocation may not protect against market risk or investment losses. At WT Wealth Management, we strongly suggest having a personal financial plan in place before making any investment decisions including understanding personal risk tolerance, having clearly outlined investment objectives and a clearly defined investment time horizon. WT Wealth Management may only transact business in those states in which it is registered, or qualifies for an exemption or exclusion from registration requirements.
