Soft Jobs Report and the Dollar's New Direction: What It Means for Investors

InvestTalk

This is InvestTalk from KPP Financial, helping investors make sense of the markets one day at a time. Here's your host, Justin Klein. Good afternoon fellow investors and welcome back to InvestTalk. This is our Friday, August 14th, 2026 edition of InvestTalk. It's hot out here.

It's hot here in Laguna Beach. Hopefully everyone's staying cool. And the market's hot as well. Continues to power ahead despite the headlines, although today was not exactly an amazing day, but we closed the week. Okay, we limped into the weekend, shall we say. But we'll look at those numbers and the headlines much later in the show.

But I want to set the table here and invite you. Invite you to give me a call, whatever's on your mind, money related. We are here to help you navigate these challenging times. By answering your finance and investment questions, bringing you data, bringing you perspective. I've been doing this for over 25 years. And I've seen, I've almost seen it all.

So I'm here for whatever question you throw at me. Nothing's too simple. Nothing's too complex. So I encourage you to reach out as always, 888-99-CHART is the number. Now in just a bit, we'll talk about today's market performance and run down the show topics throughout the hour. But as usual, we'll tackle this first caller question now. I'm a listener to your podcast. I'm a very small time investment type of person.

I do have a 401k. It's pretty healthy. But on the side, I try to do a little bit of my own. And I came across Glimpse Group stock ticker symbol GGRP. What are your thoughts on that, especially since it's an AI type of company? Thank you. All right. This is Glimpse Group.
