1) Surprise! Brits Vote Brexit

The markets got hammered Friday, as stocks sold off hard after the surprise vote by the U.K. to leave the European Union, a.k.a. to “Brexit.” The Dow tumbled some 500 points midway through Friday trade, but even with that big decline the broad U.S. market isn’t really down all that much on the week. The rally leading up to the Brexit vote helped temper Friday’s losses. So, what does the Brexit mean going forward? And, how did the rest of the markets react to the news—including the bonds, the dollar, gold and other commodities? Find out all of the details in today’s must-listen leadoff segment.

2) Brexit, Geopolitics and Your Money

The Brexit vote is more important for markets than simply today’s big selloff. I think the vote to exit the EU has a lot to do with citizens being fed up with all of the regulations that come from the ivory tower in Brussels, where EU officials sit around and make up rules they think are in the best interest of individuals. The problem here is that individuals want to determine what’s in their best interest, and hence the Brexit vote. The U.K. decision highlights the current political climate around the globe, and it is suggestive of the anti-establishment vibe here at home. This climate is going to have an effect on your money, and in today’s second segment I tell you exactly how—and why it portends of more volatility this summer. Plus, why investors must avoid the temptation to get too negative about the markets.

3) A Few Thoughts on Bonds

Bonds are doing well, and for the past couple of years I’ve been pounding the table in favor of investors owning bonds. Yes, they are a generally a bit boring compared to growth stocks, but this year bonds are superstars (especially days like today). Yet what happens when the bond market runs out of gas? In today’s final segment, I speculate on the eventual end of the bond market bull, and what that means for your money. Plus, why next week’s action in stocks is critical for all investors.
