As Monday is set to begin, Wall Street will open for the first time since the S&P downgraded the U.S. National Debt. Despite fears of major 401K losses and interest rate hikes, it’s important to calm the emotions and take a deep breath. The fact that Standard and Poor’s downgraded the U.S. debt to a AA+ rating is relative to our debt. It does not hurt the earnings of any company which is how the stock prices are determined. Ed Butowsky, managing partner of Chapwood Investment Management, joins WFAA in their newsroom to discuss how this downgrade will affect the U.S. economy and of course your money.
