Our Global Head of Fixed Income Research Andrew Sheets takes a look at multiple indicators that are pointing on the same direction: strong growth for markets and the economy.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Andrew Sheets: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Global Head of Fixed Income Research at Morgan Stanley. Today I'm going to talk about an unusual alignment of signs of optimism for the global cyclical backdrop and why these are important to watch. It's Friday, January 9th at 2pm in London. 2026 is now well underway. Forecasting is difficult and a humbling exercise; and 2025 certainly showed that even in a good year for markets, you can have some serious twists and turns. But overall, Morgan Stanley Research still thinks the year ahead will be a positive one, with equities higher and bond yields modestly lower. It's off to an eventful start, certainly, but we think that core message remains in place. But instead of going back again to our forecasts through the year ahead, I wanted to focus instead on a wide variety of different assets that have long been viewed as leading indicators of the global cyclical environment. I think these are important, and what's notable is that they're all moving in the same direction – all indicating a stronger cyclical backdrop. While today's market certainly has some areas of speculative activity and excessive valuations, the alignment of these things suggests something more substantive may be going on. First, Copper prices, which tend to be volatile but economically sensitive, have been rising sharply up about 40 percent in the last year. A key index of non-traded industrial commodities for everything from Glass to Tin, which is useful because it means it's less likely to be influenced by investor activity, well, it's been up 10 percent over the last year. Korean equities, which tend to be highly cyclical and thus have long been viewed by investors as a proxy for global economic optimism, well, they were the best performing major market last year, up 80 percent. Smaller cap stocks, which again, tend to be more economically sensitive, well, they've been outperforming larger ones. And last but not least, Financial stocks in the U.S. and Europe. Again, a sector that tends to be quite economically sensitive. Well, they've been outperforming the broader market and to a pretty significant degree. These are different assets in different regions that all appear to be saying the same thing – that the outlook for global cyclical activity has been getting better and has now actually been doing so for some time. Now, any individual indicator can be wrong. But when multiple indicators all point in the same direction, that's pretty worthy of attention. And I think this ties in nicely with a key message from my colleague, Mike Wilson from Monday's episode; that the positive case for U.S. equities is very much linked to better fundamental activity. Specifically, our view that earnings growth may be stronger than appreciated. Of course, the data will have a say, and if these indicators turn down, it could suggest a weaker economic and cyclical backdrop. But for now, these various cyclical indicators are giving a positive read. If they continue to do so, it may raise more questions around central bank policy and to what extent further rate cuts are consistent with these signs of a stronger global growth backdrop. For now, we think they remain supporting evidence of our core view that this market cycle can still burn hotter before it burns out. Thank you as always, for your time. If you find Thoughts on the Market useful, let us know by leaving a review wherever you listen. And also, please tell a friend or colleague about us today.

What if the biggest barrier to your business growth isn't your vision, but your refusal to look at the numbers?In this episode of Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors, Erica Rooney sits down with Danielle Hendon, founder of Four Corners CFO. After a decade in corporate finance, Danielle realized that many entrepreneurs are brilliant at their craft but paralyzed by their books. She's on a mission to turn founders into confident financial leaders by simplifying complex "money talk" into actionable strategy.Join them as they discuss why you can't lead where you don't look, how to stop letting your bank account define your self-worth, and the vital mindset shift needed to move from a "stagnant pond" to a "flowing river" of wealth.Inside the Episode:The Music to Math Pipeline: Danielle shares her unconventional journey from aspiring opera singer to CPA, explaining the scientific mesh between musical patterns and numerical data.The Judgment Trap: Why women often feel like their financial statements are a "grade" on their performance as a human, and how to start viewing numbers as neutral tools for decision-making.Forecasting as Leadership: Danielle breaks down why the goal of a budget isn't necessarily to hit it—it's a roadmap to help you understand the "why" behind your business's story.The "Stagnant Pond" vs. "Flowing River": A powerful visual analogy for shifting from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset, and why you must "spend money to make money."The Power of Profit: Why paying yourself first is not selfish, but a requirement for sustainable growth and the ability to eventually delegate tasks.Sticky Floors of Delegation: Danielle opens up about her own struggle with hiring and "letting go," revealing why the first revenue-generating hire is the hardest yet most necessary step to shatter your glass ceiling.Pricing for Value: A look at why hourly billing often penalizes expertise, and why shifting to flat-fee pricing allows you to profit from your own efficiency.If you've been putting your head in the sand when it comes to your business finances, this episode is the clarity and encouragement you need to step into the power of profit.
Forecasting the economy right now feels a bit like trying to carve a path through thick jungle undergrowth on a foggy day. There are multiple layers of confusion and a forecast has to address these issues first before tracing out a possible path forward.
Financial Times columnist Gillian Tett predicted that the Magnificent 7 tech stocks were not going to fall, but they wouldn't ride a lot higher either in 2025. What actually happened was a bit of a mixed bag, and Gillian says that sets these companies up for diverging paths in 2026. The era of an artificial intelligence tide lifting all boats seems to be drawing to an end.

Most practice owners treat finances like a fire drill: frantic at year-end, reactive at tax time, and surprised when cash flow hiccups wreck payroll. What if money management wasn't a crisis to survive, but a repeatable system you lead on purpose? In this episode of the Private Practice Owners Club, host Nathan Shields sits down with financial strategist Eric Miller (Econologics) and bookkeeping & vCFO expert Sean Healy (AccountedFor). Together they deliver an operational playbook for wrapping up 2025, protecting cash flow in Q1, and building the disciplined systems that let owners actually plan for retirement — not just keep the lights on. They dig into:Why proactive tax planning beats last-minute spending sprees (and how to actually execute it with your CPA)The three financial skills every owner needs: acquire it, control it, invest it — and how to institutionalize them in your practicePractical year-end moves that protect cash flow (retirement catch-ups, HSA contributions, beneficiary checks, and smarter equipment buys)How to build a financial team that works together — CPA, bookkeeper, and advisor aligned to your goals (and when it's time to fire an advisor who isn't)Forecasting and proforma basics: reverse-engineer the profit you need to reach your personal goals, then map the operational steps to get thereCash-first tactics for Q1 (expect a tight January — plan the line of credit, manage payroll cadence, and pre-talk client deductibles)Money discipline that scales: automated savings buckets, routine scorecards, and the operational cadence that produces real wealth If you've ever been blindsided by tax bills, drifted through another year without a cash plan, or felt like your practice owns you — this episode gives you the financial clarity and tactical next steps to run your business like an asset, not an anxiety.
In this Brand Highlight, we talk with Michael Roytman, CTO of Empirical Security, about a problem many security teams quietly struggle with: using general purpose AI tools for decisions that demand precision, forecasting, and accountability.Michael explains why large language models are often misapplied in security programs. LLMs excel at summarization, classification, and pattern extraction, but they are not designed to predict future outcomes like exploitation likelihood or operational risk. Treating them as universal problem solvers creates confidence gaps, not clarity.At Empirical, the focus is on preventative security through purpose built modeling. That means probabilistic forecasting, enterprise specific risk models, and continuous retraining using real telemetry from security operations. Instead of relying on a single model or generic scoring system, Empirical applies ensembles of models tuned to specific tasks, from vulnerability exploitation probability to identifying malicious code patterns.Michael also highlights why retraining matters as much as training. Threat conditions, environments, and attacker behavior change constantly. Models that are not continuously updated lose relevance quickly. Building that feedback loop across hundreds of customers is as much an engineering and operations challenge as it is a data science one.The conversation reinforces a simple but often ignored idea: better security outcomes come from using the right tools for the right questions, not from chasing whatever AI technique happens to be popular. This episode offers a grounded perspective for leaders trying to separate signal from noise in AI driven security decision making.Note: This story contains promotional content.

Mary Houle runs two careers simultaneously - data analyst by day, fractional CFO by night. But it wasn't a VP laughing at her desire to "build relationships" that sparked her entrepreneurial leap. It was realizing she could help creative business owners stop avoiding the one thing keeping them stuck: their numbers. In this episode we dive into: Why looking at your P&L feels harder than learning a new instrument (and the practice routine that changes everything) The real math behind leaving your 9-5 that no one talks about on Instagram How "making 10K" became the most misleading goal in online businessThe Creative Avoidance Pattern You're generating sales and the business feels like it's working, so checking the numbers seems unnecessary (until it's not) That anxiety about opening your bank account isn't about the math - it's about facing whether your current pace is actually sustainable The same discipline that makes finance uncomfortable is what turns random income months into predictable growth Your business surviving so far doesn't mean it's structured to scale next yearFrom Spreadsheets to Strategy Setting up your LLC and basic P&L from day one isn't perfectionism - it's the difference between building a hobby and building a business The profit and loss statement is just the puzzle pieces showing how you get to your actual take-home cash each month Forecasting doesn't have to be complicated: start with your sales trend, factor in launches or new products, set realistic monthly targets Working with a financial professional early prevents the expensive mess of cleaning up two years of avoidance laterThe Fractional Advantage Traditional consultants give you ideas from 30,000 feet and disappear - fractional officers are in the weeds running plays with you You need someone who sees the end result of their suggestions, not just someone who points out opportunities and leaves The "charge your worth" narrative has made people afraid of offering introductory periods, but sometimes free work upfront unlocks revenue you couldn't access alone Being integrated into the business means having actual skin in the game, not just presenting strategy decksThis conversation reminds us that avoiding your numbers doesn't make them go away - it just makes the gap between where you are and where you want to be harder to close. Whether you're side-hustling while keeping your corporate job or finally ready to make the leap, this episode offers the practical framework and honest reality check to move forward strategically.Looking for more on building sustainable systems?

Having lived both as a quota-carrying AE and as a leader in board-level forecast discussions, Brandon breaks down why forecast obsession often works against the people actually responsible for closing deals. You'll learn why leadership optimizes for predictability, why complex forecasting systems still miss, and how internal rituals quietly steal selling time.This episode reframes forecasting through a seller's lens and delivers a critical insight: sellers don't win by perfecting the forecast — they win by creating possibility. When pipeline, skill, and reps increase, predictability follows naturally.If forecasting feels heavy, political, or demoralizing... this episode explains why, and where sellers should focus instead.

In this week's episode Vince discusses how in NYC, urgency is selective: buyers remain cautious, sellers are measured, yet competitively priced homes in the right buildings and neighborhoods are moving quickly, revealing pockets of renewed momentum beneath a seemingly steady surface. Meanwhile, Connecticut shows a different form of urgency—driven by lifestyle migrations, limited inventory, and strong demand for turnkey properties in desirable towns and school districts. The moment the right home hits the market, competition surges. Together, these markets create a regional ecosystem where urgency does not disappear; it simply shifts. Understanding where that urgency is concentrated—and how pricing, product, and buyer psychology shape it—has become essential for consumers, brokers, and investors navigating the corridor between city and suburbs.

In this episode, I break down the difference between faking and forecasting. People love to say “fake it till you make it,” but I explain why that mindset is weak and actually works against you. Faking is pretending, lying to yourself, and trying to get results without the real substance. Forecasting is different — it's choosing who you're becoming and matching your actions and energy with that future version of you right now. I talk about why faking comes from insecurity, why forecasting comes from certainty, and how to use this shift to grow for real. Show Notes: [04:14]#1 Faking is a performance whereas forecasting is an alignment performance. [11:23]#2 Faking it is a leakage of energy. [20:57]#3 The world reads energy, not words. [24:33]#4 Identity is a decision, not a reward.

The critical watches and warnings issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) inform everything from a firefighter's deployment to wildfires to the public's beach plans. This information is powered by some of the most advanced computational infrastructure in the world. According to David Michaud, director of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction's Central Operations at the NWS, high-performance computing (HPC) is the indispensable foundation that turns raw atmospheric data into actionable public safety information. Michaud joined GovCast to discuss HPC and the IT systems accelerating science at NWS, including the service's operational supercomputers capable of calculating up to 14 quadrillion calculations per second. Michaud also talked about the burgeoning role of AI/ML in weather prediction. These new predictive models are not intended to replace the traditional NWP models, but to complement them.

In this short segment of the Revenue Builders Podcast, we revisit the discussion with Jose Fernandez — former Head of Global Sales Development at Google and now CEO of Easy Comp — breaks down how compensation must evolve when companies shift from traditional SaaS licensing to consumption-based models. Drawing from his experience at Google Ads, one of the most successful consumption engines in business history, Jose lays out the structural advantages of consumption models and how GTM, onboarding, forecasting, and comp plans must align to unlock growth.John McMahon and John Kaplan then expand on how consumption changes seller behavior, deal sizing, renewal dynamics, forecast accuracy, and quota mechanics. This is a must-listen for revenue leaders, sellers, and anyone navigating the industry-wide shift toward usage-based pricing.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:46] Companies transitioning to consumption models often copy SaaS licensing structures instead of designing comp that amplifies consumption-driven advantages.[00:01:34] Three core advantages of consumption models: lower barrier to entry, value-aligned spend increases, and product-led expansion.[00:03:07] Aligning GTM roles — new business, onboarding, and account management — enables scale and fairness in comp.[00:03:57] Forecasting in consumption models becomes an analytical discipline, requiring predictive models rather than rep intuition.[00:05:00] High-quality customer fit at acquisition can result in massive upside — one rep earned huge commission from a $15M three-month advertiser.[00:07:02] In consumption, churn can happen in a week — sellers must ensure rapid value realization, not just contract signing.[00:08:00] Sellers often intentionally downsize initial deals to ensure burn-down and protect compensation.[00:08:59] PLG and sales-assisted models blend; comp must account for small initial usage that grows rapidly.[00:09:48] Companies balance advance payments to reps with clawbacks to protect against churn.[00:10:10] Smart sellers can land small, prove value, and convert usage to multi-year, high-value commitments.QUOTES[00:01:10] “Companies take too much inspiration from the old model instead of designing comp that amplifies the advantages of consumption.”[00:01:56] “Customer spend is directly proportional to the value they get — and their understanding of that value.”[00:02:19] “If you have an amazing product, some of that growth is going to be product-led, regardless of the sales team.”[00:03:57] “Forecasting in a consumption model is an analytical exercise — not something you ask an account executive to guess.”[00:07:54] “In consumption, a customer can use it for a week, turn it off like a light switch, and move on.”[00:08:38] “PLG might start with $500 on a credit card and scale into a major enterprise deal.”[00:09:28] “Sometimes comp gives future credit for usage trajectory — but companies will claw it back if churn happens.”[00:10:33] “There's a lot of gold in this full episode — make sure you check it out.”Listen to the full conversation through the link below.https://revenue-builders.simplecast.com/episodes/driving-sales-behavior-with-effective-compensation-plans-with-jose-fernandezEnjoying the podcast?

What happens to wholesale distribution when tariffs rise, interest rates stay high, and customers expect more with less friction? In this episode of Around the Horn in Wholesale Distribution from LeadSmart Channel Cloud, Kevin Brown and Tom Burton sit down with Modern Distribution Management editor and market analyst Mike Hockett to unpack the data behind the headlines and what it means for revenue leaders in distribution. You will hear a practical, numbers-driven outlook for 2025 that connects GDP forecasts, Fed policy, and tariff risk with real impacts on margins, inventory, and channel relationships. The conversation stays grounded in what wholesalers, manufacturers, and reps can control, and how to use planning, consultative commerce, and better pipeline visibility to future-proof distribution businesses through uncertainty. What You Will Learn: Why November's softer numbers do not necessarily signal a collapse, and how MDM thinks about “soft landing” versus “stall.”How tariffs, elections, and Fed policy are likely to affect pricing power, imports, and inventory strategy for wholesale distribution teams.Where distributors are still leaving money on the table because of weak forecasting, poor CRM adoption, and limited collaboration with suppliers and reps.How to connect market forecasts to practical decisions about hiring, territory coverage, and hybrid selling models.Episode Highlights:00:00 – Why this conversation matters now08:15 – Inside MDM's latest distribution data18:40 – Are we heading toward a soft landing or a stall?30:10 – Tariffs, trade policy, and pricing pressure42:35 – Forecasting failures inside distribution organizations55:20 – Hybrid selling and channel conflict1:07:45 – Technology, CRM adoption, and operational readiness1:21:30 – M&A, succession planning, and consolidation signals1:33:10 – Practical priorities for the next 12 months Meet the Guest: Mike Hockett is an editor and market analyst with Modern Distribution Management (MDM) and the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors. He spends his time inside the data and conversations that shape the future of wholesale distribution, from sector forecasts and benchmarking to technology, talent, and channel strategy.

Climate change has amplified the hydrologic cycle in Minnesota. Our more erratic precipitation patterns are driving faster transitions from drought to floods. So, can AI-driven forecasts help predict floods on rivers like the Mississippi? “We need to make innovations in these sorts of models and in our flood forecasting in general,” said Zac McEachran, a research hydrologist from the University of Minnesota. McEachran talked with MPR News meteorologist Paul Huttner about a new flood forecasting model that uses AI to improve local flood predictions.

This week, we're joined by Richie Mashiko - Head of Beacon at Iris Finance for a full breakdown of how BFCM played out across their businesses. Together, the group recaps what actually drove performance this year, from media-mix diversification and top-of-funnel investment to traffic dynamics, conversion-rate behavior, and how different brand sizes approached Cyber Five strategy.From there, Richie walks through his forecasting philosophy - including how he builds bottoms-up financial models, how diminishing returns shape CAC and forecasting assumptions, and how finance and marketing need to stay aligned around realistic growth expectations. The group also dives into contribution margin, AMER, customer mix, and why so many brands forecast incorrectly when marketing isn't part of the planning process.They then unpack the levers that actually make an ecommerce business profitable: cohort behavior, scaling past category saturation, interpreting flat conversion rates alongside surging traffic, and what contribution dollars really tell you. Richie shares lessons learned from She's Birdie's rebuild year and how smaller brands can apply the same financial discipline as companies operating at nine-figure scale.If you're trying to understand your BFCM results, build a forecast that reflects reality, or get finance and marketing speaking the same language, this episode is a must-listen.If you have a question for the MOperators Hotline, click the link to be in with a chance of it being discussed on the show: https://forms.gle/1W7nKoNK5Zakm1Xv6Chapters:00:00:00 - Introduction00:06:40 - BFCM recap00:24:47 - Media Mix Strategy00:41:52 - International Markets00:53:44 - FP&A Background01:07:05 - Building a ForecastPowered by:Motion.https://motionapp.com/pricing?utm_source=marketing-operators-podcast&utm_medium=paidsponsor&utm_campaign=march-2024-ad-readshttps://motionapp.com/creative-trendsPrescient AI.https://www.prescientai.com/operatorsRichpanel.https://www.richpanel.com/?utm_source=MO&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=ytdescAftersell.https://www.aftersell.com/operatorsHaus.http://Haus.io/operatorsSubscribe to the 9 Operators Podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/@Operators9Subscribe to the Finance Operators Podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/@FinanceOperatorsFOPSSign up to the 9 Operators newsletter here: https://9operators.com/

ACX has been co-running a forecasting contest with Metaculus for the past few years. Lately the "co-running" has drifted towards them doing all the work and giving me credit, but that's how I like it! Last year's contest included more than 4500 forecasters predicting on 33 questions covering US politics, international events, AI, and more. They're preparing for this year's contest, and currently looking for interesting questions. These could be any objective outcome that might or might not happen in 2026, whose answer will be known by the end of the year. Not "Will Congress do a good job?", but "Will Congress' approval rating be above 40% on December 1, 2026?". Or, even better, "Will Congress' approval rating be above 40% according to the first NYT Congressional Approval Tracker update to be published after December 1, 2026?". Please share ideas for 2026 forecast questions here. The top ten question contributors will win prizes from $150 to $700. You can see examples of last year's questions here (click on each one for more details). This year's contest will also include AI bots, who will compete against the humans and one another for prizes of their own. To learn more about building a Metaculus forecasting bot, see here. I'll keep you updated on when the contest begins. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/suggest-questions-for-metaculusacx
PREVIEW Architect's Index Signals Continued Economic Contraction Gene Marks Gene Marks discusses the architect's index, which serves as a leading indicator for the direction of the American economy, forecasting big buildings and high-end residential construction six to twelve months ahead. For the eleventh consecutive month, the index showed contraction, not expansion, indicating a difficult market for architects and mixed, non-encouraging economic pictures overall.
