In the Oscar-winning film Shakespeare in Love, theater owner Henslowe explains that the theatrical business faces "insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster," yet somehow "it all turns out well.” It's a mystery he can't explain. This week's podcast channels that spirit as Moody's Analytics economist, Dante DeAntonio, joins Mark and Cris to dissect the labor market despite the delayed employment report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The team navigates volatility across financial markets and examines the outlook for employment and consumer spending in light of AI adoption and the stabilization of the saving rate. Like Henslowe's faith that the show goes on, they explore whether the economy will find its way through even when the data arrives fashionably late.Hosts: Mark Zandi – Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, Cris deRitis – Deputy Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, and Marisa DiNatale – Senior Director - Head of Global Forecasting, Moody's AnalyticsFollow Mark Zandi on 'X' and BlueSky @MarkZandi, Cris deRitis on LinkedIn, and Marisa DiNatale on LinkedIn Questions or Comments, please email us at helpeconomy@moodys.com.

After a quiet data week and a loud political signal, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist, and Sonu Varghese, VP, Global Macro Strategist at Carson Group, dig into what a potential Fed leadership shakeup could mean for rates, markets, and investor expectations. With Kevin Warsh emerging as the likely next Fed chair, the discussion cuts past headlines to examine his long history at the Fed, his shifting stance on inflation and rate cuts, and why markets may be less willing to take his guidance at face value. It's been one of the most volatile stretches for metals in decades, as gold and silver experience sharp pullbacks after a historic run. Ryan and Sonu break down why positioning and sentiment mattered more than headlines, and along the way, they connect the dots between capital-intensive tech investment, the emerging commodity supercycle, and why earnings strength continues to underpin equities despite leadership rotation and policy noise.Key Takeaways:Fed leadership uncertainty adds friction, not clarity: Kevin Warsh's record reveals a pattern of convenient pivots that may limit his influence over a skeptical committee Rate cuts face structural resistance: Markets are pricing fewer long-term cuts as capital investment and nominal growth keep upward pressure on rates Metals volatility was about positioning, not fundamentals: Extreme bullish sentiment set the stage for sharp pullbacks despite intact long-term trends Gold and silver require sizing, not timing: Volatility, correlations, and rebalancing matter more than chasing short-term price moves Earnings continue to justify the bull market: Strong margins, industrial strength, and resilient consumer spending support risk assets even as leadership rotatesJump to:0:00 - Setting The Stage: No Jobs Data1:06 - Who Is Kevin Warsh4:30 - Warsh's Crisis-Era Record9:10 - Politics, Hawks, And Rate-Cut Reality14:20 - Balance Sheet Beliefs Challenged19:45 - Gold And Silver's Wild Swing25:40 - How To Own Metals Wisely31:10 - From Software To Capex Supercycle36:50 - Productivity, Labor, And Rates41:30 - Fun Signals: Super Bowl And January46:05 - Earnings, Margins, And MomentumConnect with Ryan:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryandetrick/• X: https://x.com/RyanDetrickConnect with Sonu:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonu-varghese-phd/• X: https://x.com/sonusvarghese?lang=enQuestions about the show?

In this episode of The Vinney and Beau Show, Vinney and Beau dive into what really separates experienced investors from the rest—especially when markets feel uncertain. With stocks swinging, interest rates shifting, and headlines creating noise, they break down how seasoned investors stay calm, focused, and intentional.   This is an honest conversation about navigating cycles, avoiding emotional decisions, and understanding where real opportunity shows up when others hesitate.   They cover key ideas that are shaping today's investor mindset, including:

Hedge fund strategies are gaining renewed attention as market volatility rises and traditional stock and bond diversification becomes less reliable. With inflation uncertainty, shifting monetary policy, and growing macro instability, investors are reassessing how different sources of return and risk management show up across capital markets.In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido speaks with Mike Pyle, Deputy Head of BlackRock's Portfolio Management Group, about how hedge fund strategies work and why they are being re-examined in today's environment. Mike explains what defines hedge fund strategies, how their flexibility seeks to allow managers to express views more precisely, and why they can play different roles within portfolios depending on investor objectives.They explore common misconceptions around hedge fund strategies, including the idea that they are inherently high risk or designed solely to outperform equities. Mike outlines how these strategies span a wide range of risk profiles and can be used for diversification due to their potentially lower correlation to traditional assets. The conversation also examines why macro volatility since 2021 has created a more favorable backdrop for hedge fund strategies, and how their ability to either navigate or reduce macro exposure is shaping investor interest.Key moments in this episode:00:00 Introduction: Navigating Uncertainty in Today's Market03:57 Debunking Myths About Hedge Funds07:36 The Growing Interest in Hedge Funds Strategies12:18 Hedge Funds vs. Other Alternatives16:31 Evolution of the Hedge Fund Industry18:28 Key Takeaways for Investors19:41 Conclusion and Next UpKey insights include:• What hedge fund strategies are and how they differ from traditional investments• Why lower correlation, not market outperformance, is often the core objective• How higher volatility and macro uncertainty are reshaping portfolio construction• How hedge fund strategies compare with other alternatives like private markets and infrastructure• Why scale and multi-strategy platforms are changing the hedge fund landscapehedge fund strategies, capital markets, portfolio diversification, alternatives investing, market volatility, megaforcesThis content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

After a powerful run in metals, renewed inflation pressure, and a shifting Federal Reserve backdrop, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist, and Sonu Varghese, VP, Global Macro Strategist at Carson Group, step back to connect the dots between markets, policy, and positioning. Fresh off being named one of the Top 23 podcasts for financial advisors for the second year in a row, the conversation moves fluidly from gold's breakout and the return of the debasement trade to the growing uncertainty around the next Fed chair and what it means for rates, inflation, and risk assets.They explore why commodities are flashing signals that don't align with disinflation narratives, how productivity optimism collides with fiscal reality, and why global earnings strength continues to support equities even as leadership rotates. Along the way, they unpack the implications of a potential government shutdown, policy-driven margin pressure across sectors, and why markets tend to move past the headline faster than most expect.Key Takeaways: • Gold's message is getting louder: Rising commodity prices, fiscal deficits, and rate pressure are reinforcing the case for metals as portfolio protection • The Fed chair race matters more than headlines: Rick Rieder's emergence highlights the tension between productivity optimism and persistent inflation risks • Inflation remains sticky under the surface: Core services and commodity strength challenge the idea of a smooth glide back to 2% • Global earnings are doing the heavy lifting: Companies with international exposure continue to outpace domestically focused peers • Policy noise doesn't derail trends: Shutdown risks and political uncertainty create volatility, but fundamentals keep asserting themselves—Check the 23 Top Financial Advisor Podcasts To Listen To In 2026:https://kitc.es/4pWNyA9Jump to:0:00 Cold Open, Awards, And Snow Jokes2:35 Gold And Silver Surge Explained8:40 The Debasement Trade And Inflation14:50 Global Central Banks Rotate To Gold19:30 Japan, Yields, Yen, And Risk Assets23:40 The Fed Chair Horse Race Heats Up30:20 Productivity, The 1990s, And Why Today's Different38:20 Fed Path: Holds, Politics, And Gold Tailwinds42:30 January Barometer, Tech Lags, And Breadth48:40 Equal-Weight Tech, Financials, And Policy Risk53:40 Earnings Setup: Mega-Cap vs The 493Connect with Ryan:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryandetrick/• X: https://x.com/RyanDetrickConnect with Sonu:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonu-varghese-phd/• X: https://x.com/sonusvarghese?lang=enQuestions about the show?

AI investment, evolving earnings leadership, and shifting global dynamics are redefining stock market trends as investors enter 2026. Companies are deploying unprecedented capital toward data centers, compute, and productivity-enhancing technologies, while rate cuts and supply-chain realignment reshape the macro backdrop. These forces are changing how fundamentals, valuations, and sector growth patterns show up in equity markets.In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido speaks with Carrie King, Global CIO of BlackRock's Fundamental Equities group, about the major drivers influencing the 2026 equity outlook. Carrie breaks down why high-level valuations may mask improved corporate quality, how AI-related investment is broadening beyond semiconductors, and why the gap between megacap earnings and the rest of the market may begin to narrow.They also explore how global monetary easing is benefiting emerging markets, why Japan's structural reforms continue to support its equity story, and how diversification is becoming more challenging in a market shaped by a few powerful megaforces.

Markets opened 2026 with early gains, improving breadth, and a rotation toward value—but mixed fundamentals and elevated expectations remain beneath the surface. Lance Roberts reviews key investor lessons from 2025 that matter most as we head into 2026. We review what worked, what failed, and why market narratives once again misled investors. Topics include value versus growth, volatility versus risk, the role of cash, earnings-driven returns, portfolio rebalancing, and why discipline—not prediction—remains the foundation of long-term investing.

Markets opened 2026 with early gains, improving breadth, and a rotation toward value—but mixed fundamentals and elevated expectations remain beneath the surface. Lance Roberts reviews key investor lessons from 2025 that matter most as we head into 2026. We review what worked, what failed, and why market narratives once again misled investors. Topics include value versus growth, volatility versus risk, the role of cash, earnings-driven returns, portfolio rebalancing, and why discipline—not prediction—remains the foundation of long-term investing. We also examine the technical backdrop for the S&P 500, key support and resistance levels, inflation and labor market catalysts ahead, and why risk management may matter more than return chasing in 2026.

Most retirees who make this mistake aren't reckless. They're careful. They're doing what they believe is responsible, and that's what makes it so painful to see when it backfires.James explains why the same portfolio mistake is showing up more than ever, whether someone has managed their own investments for decades or relied on professional advice. Different paths, same outcome: a portfolio that isn't built around how money is actually used in retirement.With people living longer, retiring earlier, and markets remaining volatile, overly simplified portfolio advice has become a real risk. Through two real case studies, James shows how sticking with what worked during accumulation can expose retirees to sequence-of-returns risk, while default “safe” portfolios can quietly limit flexibility and opportunity when they're not tied to actual cash-flow needs.The takeaway is clear: retirement success doesn't come from being aggressive or conservative. It comes from alignment. When spending, timing, guaranteed income, and risk are understood first, portfolios can be built intentionally — using growth and protection as tools, not templates.The real risk in retirement isn't volatility. It's mismatch.-Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.

After a volatile first half and another year of strong headline returns, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist, and Sonu Varghese, VP, Global Macro Strategist at Carson Group, step back to assess what actually shaped markets in 2025 and what that foundation means heading into 2026.They revisit why early-year turbulence caught so many investors off guard, how companies navigated tariffs and margin pressure more effectively than expected, and why earnings growth remained the quiet backbone of the rally. The conversation then turns forward, covering their 2026 outlook for stocks and bonds, the role of AI-driven capital spending, global market leadership, and why sentiment continues to lag reality even as breadth improves. Along the way, they discuss inflation stickiness, labor market crosscurrents, policy tailwinds, and where diversification still matters most as the cycle matures.Key Takeaways: • Earnings did the heavy lifting: Profit growth and margin resilience, not valuation expansion, powered market gains • Volatility followed the script: Early-year drawdowns fit historical patterns despite widespread surprise • Global leadership expanded: International markets and cyclicals outpaced expectations as breadth improved • AI spending surged: Capital expenditures accelerated across major tech platforms, reinforcing long-term growth trends • 2026 outlook remains constructive: Above-average equity returns and modest bond gains hinge on steady growth without recessionJump to:0:00 — Setting The Stage For 20251:48 — Tariffs, Liberation Day, And Market Bottom4:30 — Sentiment, Concentration Myths, And Breadth9:45 — Speculation Falls, AI Leaders Repriced14:45 — Small Caps, Transports, And Rate Cuts22:30 — IPO Drought, Private Markets, And Valuations27:20 — Media Moments, Gold, And Diversifiers32:20 — Fed Cuts, Dots, And Labor Revisions40:10 — 2026 Playbook: Mid Caps, Financials, Healthcare46:30 — Global Vs.

From hay and forage markets to dairy economics, water uncertainty, and the global forces shaping local prices, Foglio explains why producers across the Central Valley and Imperial Valley are facing unprecedented volatility. He covers early-season pricing standstills, the impact of the latest CDI milk price drop, and the ripple effects that global commodity shifts have on feed markets. Foglio also provides a grounded outlook on the upcoming almond season, forecasting a more realistic 2.5–2.75 billion pounds—far below early, panic-inducing estimates. He discusses land values, long-term crop investment strategy, and the pressures younger farmers face in today's ag economy. The conversation expands into broader issues affecting California's future, including water planning, housing affordability, fire prevention, and the need for stronger leadership. Packed with real-world experience and no-nonsense analysis, this episode is essential listening for farmers, dairymen, ag professionals, and anyone who wants to understand the fast-changing landscape of California agriculture.

Silver is exploding in value at a pace that is now outpacing many major cryptocurrencies — and the financial world is scrambling to understand why. In this urgent and revealing discussion, Michael Jaco and Dr. Kirk Elliott break down the unprecedented market behavior that has never been seen before in modern financial history. Prices are surging, trading halts are occurring, and major institutions are quietly preparing for something big. Dr. Elliott explains the real reasons silver is pulling away from crypto: industrial demand is skyrocketing, national stockpiles are being depleted, and global governments are shifting away from the failing fiat system toward asset-backed structures. With banks under pressure, inflation climbing, supply chains tightening, and global tensions rising, silver is entering a historic trajectory that may reshape the entire economic landscape. Michael and Dr. Elliott also discuss why crypto's volatility and speculative nature leave it vulnerable during global shocks, while silver's physical scarcity and industrial necessity make it the safer and more strategic option for the times we're entering. They address the CME's unexpected trading freeze, the suppression of spot prices, the widening gap between physical and paper silver, and why this disconnect signals a major financial stress point. This conversation provides a clear roadmap for anyone wanting to understand the mechanics behind silver's explosive upward movement and — more importantly — how to transition from crypto into silver without missing the window of opportunity. With the world rapidly moving toward a new financial paradigm, this episode lays out the steps required to preserve and grow wealth before the next major shock hits the system. If you want clarity, timing, strategy, and a deeper understanding of what's unfolding behind the scenes, this is the episode you need to hear.
