I think we just have to see these companies that do go out now do well and then the investors will be excited to participate," Griggs adds.

The official deadline to file for taxes in the US is today — Monday, April 15. Many Americans may have let this deadline sneak up on them and have yet to file. While the deadline can be important for many, it's possible to file an extension and receive more time to get what they need together, in order for a successful return. National Association of Tax Professionals (NATP) Director of Tax Content Tom O’Saben joins Wealth! to break down everything Americans need to know when filing for their taxes at the last possible minute. O'Saben offers this advice: "I would advise today, get an extension filed. The extension, by the way, is in time to file, not in time to pay. So if you're not sure, then you're going to have to send something in or at the very least get that extension filed, and then get together with your tax professional or sit down with a clear mind — maybe in a couple of weeks — and get that return paid in... Get that return submitted when your mind is clearer... Let's not turn that haste into a big mistake on a tax return that either the IRS comes back later and says, 'Hmm, I really didn't know when you got these numbers,' or secondly, you missed out on some deductions or some refunds."

Goldman Sachs (GS) reported first quarter earnings, beating analyst expectations on both the top and bottom lines. UBS's US Brokers and Asset Managers Analyst Brennan Hawken joins Yahoo Finance to discuss why Goldman Sachs stock "makes a ton of sense" for investors. Hawken notes that capital markets recovery has contributed to the upside seen in Goldman Sachs' stock performance. Additionally, the successful sale of GreenSky and the bank's exit from the consumer business have helped drive "better-than-expected" results. The analyst observes that the first quarter is "typically a seasonally strong quarter for investment banking." While cautioning that Goldman Sachs' earnings shouldn't be viewed as a straightforward trend, Hawken acknowledges that the results have demonstrated "they've repositioned this franchise in order to drive earnings." Addressing the market volatility stemming from Federal Reserve rate cut uncertainty, Hawken states that "volatility drives volume," which is "a good thing" for trading businesses like Goldman Sachs — calling the bank "a clear winner in this environment."

US retail sales data outpaced March estimates, growing by 0.7% month over month. But while American consumers appear unfazed by inflation and higher-for-longer interest rates for now, what are some strategies to help them save more as they continue to spend? Host of the Future Rich Podcast Barbara Ginty, CFP joins Wealth's Brad Smith to talk about the categories Americans are spending the most money on, such as housing and cars as prices rise. "Obviously the reports are showing that we're still spending. So I think this is the time to be cautious and reevaluate your budget and take into account inflation, which we still have out there," Ginty tells Yahoo Finance. "So your dollars are not going as far or lasting as long as they used to be. and so it's, I think, a good time to be cautious about overuse of credit card and the new phenomenon of 'buy now pay, later,' — which is always at a point of sale, and I don't think that's meant to be a point-of-sale decision."
