What are your biggest questions and concerns as we head into the second year of the pandemic? MarketWatch will host a live Mastering Your Money event at 1 p.m. on Sept. 28 and 29, focusing on making personal-finance decisions in a “new normal.”
Journalists from MarketWatch and Barron’s will be joined by a host of panelists to explore myriad market, social and economic forces affecting your investments, in addition to their impacts on your career, spending and family finances.
Experts will weigh in on investing, retirement, real estate and more. Our team of journalists will answer finance questions from the audience in an Ask MarketWatch session, and we’ll solve real-life financial dilemmas during Moneyist Live.
You can register for the event here.
Day 1
On Sept. 28, we’ll look at smart investing strategies, in light of the potential collapse of Chinese property giant Evergrande
6666,
the delta variant of COVID-19, and the fallout from the Federal Open Market Committee’s meeting on Sept. 21 and 22.
How do you invest in the new normal? What do you need to know about the many curveballs we’ve seen in recent months to make smart decisions? Are meme stocks or crypto right for you — and will those trends endure?
Many analysts say the market is due for a significant correction as the S&P 500
SPX,
has logged more than 200 sessions without a pullback of 5% or more from a recent peak, making the current stretch of levitation the longest since 2016.
We’ll also explore how to use alternative data sources to get early insight into what to expect for the economy, markets and companies, and offer tips on determining when and where to retire, how to handle health care and how not to outlive your money.
Day Two
On Sept. 29, we’ll turn our attention to the virtual revolution in how we work, and how America’s saving and spending habits have changed — or should change — over the course of the pandemic and beyond.
Money managers, travel experts and behavioral psychologists will try to make sense of the most burning questions of the moment. How has the coronavirus pandemic impacted childcare? What about your taxes and your work-life balance?
The economy has changed, too, over the last year and a half. We’ll look at how to navigate rising prices — which have been both unusual and unpredictable — how to negotiate a pay raise and whether, for example, you should keep your side hustle.
Along with the assistance of a certified public accountant and family-law attorney, The Moneyist will answer legal questions live — ranging from inheritance issues and divorce to planning for your financial future.
