Podcasts about MSFT

The MacVoices panel continues their analysis of the MacBook Neo, pushing back against reviewers focused only on benchmarks rather than real-world usability. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Marty Jencius, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Jim Rea, Mark Fuccio, Web Bixby, and Eric Bolden discuss the machine's intended audience, its value as an affordable entry into the Mac ecosystem, and its potential impact in education and retail markets. The conversation also examines Apple's decision to remove a high-end Mac Studio configuration and what it might signal about supply constraints and product strategy.  This edition of MacVoices is brought to you by the MacVoices Dispatch, our weekly newsletter that keeps you up-to-date on any and all MacVoices-related information.

The newly announced Macintosh Neo has met with surprising  fervor from Apple fans and critics alike. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Marty Jencius, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Jim Rea, Mark Fuccio, Web Bixby, and Eric Bolden discuss the impact of the low-cost MacBook, and why some panelists ordered one (or more). The highlights include its affordability, potential uses in education, travel, and everyday computing. The group also examines early reactions, speculation about performance, color choices, and how the Neo could reshape the relationship between Macs and mid-range iPads.  This edition of MacVoices is sponsored by Squarespace.

"It's going to get downright crazy" when it comes to market moves, says TheoTrade's Don Kaufman, urging investors to keep your heads on a swivel for the remainder of the trading week. As for his Big 3, he leans bearish on Baidu (BIDU) and Microsoft (MSFT) but bullish on the U.S. Global Jets ETF (JETS) after the airline industry's strong sell-off. Don offers example options trades for his picks while Rick Ducat backs Don's analysis with technical insight into the stock charts. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

In this video, we break down how the latest geopolitical tension could impact SPY, oil, gold, silver, semiconductors, defense-adjacent technology, and some of the market's biggest momentum names.We cover why rising fear in the market can shift money into oil, precious metals, and select sectors while also creating discounts in high-quality growth stocks.

Wedbush's tech ultra-bull, Dan Ives, returns to the Watch List to talk all things AI. When it comes to the data center story, he believes the Trump administration's push to make hyperscalers "pay the electricity bill" is beneficial on a monetary and community sentiment level. Dan sees software companies like Palantir (PLTR), Microsoft (MSFT), Salesforce (CRM), and CrowdStrike (CRWD) trading far below their real value after taking beatings from the SaaS-pocalypse. Dan adds that Nvidia's (NVDA) chips are keeping the U.S. in the lead against China for tech innovation. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

In this episode of The KE Report, host Cory Fleck sits down with Joel Elconin, co-host of the Pre-Market Prep Show and founder of the Stock Trader Network, to dissect a market that appears to be losing its footing. With the major averages showing signs of a "gradual top," Joel provides a candid, sobering assessment of the macroeconomic and geopolitical forces currently rattling investors. Key Discussion Points: Loss of Market Momentum: Why the choppy action in the S&P 500 and Dow suggests a waning appetite for risk among investors in early 2026. Geopolitical Catalysts and Inflation: The direct link between global conflict, surging oil prices, and the fading hope for near-term rate cuts. The Nvidia Reality Check: Analyzing the "false breakout" in NVDA and what it means when a market leader beats earnings but still trades lower. The Berkshire Signal: Why BRK.B is accumulating record cash and selling off bank holdings instead of seeking new acquisitions. Software vs. Hardware: A look at the resilience in software names like MSFT, CRM, and ORCL as a potential "flight to quality" amidst hardware volatility. Precious Metals Outlook: Assessing whether gold (GLD) and silver (SLV) are hitting "blow-off tops" or remains a viable safe haven during international instability.   Click here to visit Joel's PreMarket Prep website - https://www.premarketprep.com/ Click here to visit the Stock Trader Network - https://www.stocktradernetwork.com/   Stocks Mentioned: S&P 500 (SPY), Nvidia (NVDA), Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B), Bank of America (BAC), Microsoft (MSFT), Salesforce (CRM), Oracle (ORCL), Exxon Mobil (XOM), Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), Meta (META), Tesla (TSLA), Gold (GLD), Silver (SLV).   ------------------ For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:  The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/  Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/ Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security or investment product.

The artificial intelligence bubble has officially burst, according to Brian Huckstep, who points to a decisive shift from growth to value stocks that began in late 2024. While tech giants like NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) and Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) occasionally regain footing during periods of geopolitical volatility, the broader trend suggests a textbook reversion to the mean driven by overextended valuations. Despite the cooling of the A.I. trade, the focus remains on sector diversification rather than a total exit from tech innovation.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Silver's strong sell-off is something David Stryzewski considers a buying opportunity as markets grapple with heightened volatility. He likes the rest of the metal space, too, noting gold's lower price action as another opportunity. Elsewhere in the markets, David tells investors to "follow where the money's going." He likes Big Tech names like Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT), along with companies utilizing stablecoin. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

There are short-term opportunities in the SaaS-pocalypse, says John Freeman, but you need to be careful in the software names you look at. Names he sees rebounding in the space include ServiceNow (NOW), Microsoft (MSFT), and Amazon (AMZN). Scott Kessler adds color to the commentary by saying not to paint the entire sector "with a broad brush." Enterprise relationships and platformization are two key signs of strength Scott urges investors to watch for in software companies. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

February 2026 Sustainable Stock and ETF Picks. Includes an article on the most sustainable companies by sustainable revenues, and more. By Ron Robins, MBA Transcript & Links, Episode 164, February 27, 2026 Hello, Ron Robins here. Welcome to my podcast episode 164, published on February 27, 2026, titled "February 2026 Sustainable Stock and ETF Picks." This podcast is presented by Investing for the Soul. Investingforthesoul.com is your go-to site for vital global, ethical, and sustainable investing mentoring, news, commentary, information, and resources. Remember that you can find a full transcript and links to content, including stock symbols and bonus material, on this episode's podcast page at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts. Also, a reminder. I do not evaluate any of the stocks or funds mentioned in these podcasts, and I don't receive any compensation from anyone covered in these podcasts. Furthermore, I will reveal any investments I have in the investments mentioned herein. I have a huge crop of 20 articles for you in this podcast! Note: Some companies are covered more than once. Now with so many articles to potentially cover, I've chosen 3 to quote from. The other 17 can be found on the webpage for this podcast edition, along with their titles and links. ------------------------------------------------------------- Clean200 companies hit $2.8 trillion in sustainable revenues I'm starting this episode with one of my favourite rankings. It's titled the Clean200 companies hit $2.8 trillion in sustainable revenues on corporateknights.com. The introduction is by CK Staff. Here are some quotes from the introduction. "Since 2016, the shareholder-advocacy non-profit As You Sow and Corporate Knights have zeroed in on total sustainable revenues at public companies worldwide in order to show both the share and scale of sustainable revenues in absolute terms. 'The Clean200 follows revenues, not rhetoric,' Toby Heaps, CEO of Corporate Knights and report co-author, said in a statement. 'Even when politics turns hostile, markets continue to reward companies that are supplying what the global economy is structurally demanding – clean power, electrification, efficiency, and resilient infrastructure'… On average, more than half the revenue (53.7%) at Clean200 companies is sustainable… whereas companies in the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI) generate only 16.7% of their revenue from sustainable activities… From July 1, 2016, to January 26, 2026, the Clean200 portfolio returned 282.9%, compared with 221.3% for the MSCI ACWI. The fossil fuel benchmark, meanwhile, returned a much slimmer 111%... Methodology The Clean 200 is selected from 8,229 eligible companies, of which 103 were excluded. The list employs a wide range of negative screens to exclude: for example, fossil-fired utilities or big banks and insurers financing fossil fuel companies, as well as for-profit prisons, weapons makers and others… The United States and China have 69 companies on the list between them, 41 and 28 respectively. Five years ago, the United States had 46 companies on the list, and China had 17, which suggests a subtle but marked rebalancing trend. About half the list consists of 'middle power' countries: Japan (15), France (12), Canada (11), Germany (11), Spain (8), Brazil (8), South Korea (7), Denmark (7), United Kingdom (5), Sweden (5) and India (5). Sixteen other countries share the remaining 14.5% of the list, underscoring how widely distributed the clean‑economy opportunity has become." End quotes. The top five companies are Apple Inc. (AAPL), Amazon.com Inc. (AMZM), Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), Tesla Inc. (TSLA), and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. (C7A0.DU ). However, I suggest investors also look at the 'pure-play' companies, those with the highest sustainable revenue ratio! ------------------------------------------------------------- The Best Sustainable Funds and ETFs to Buy This second article is from one of the top investment sites and is titled The Best Sustainable Funds and ETFs to Buy on morningstar.com. It's by a well-respected analyst and writer, Leslie P. Norton. She compiled some comments from two analysts. Here are some quotes from her article. "We screened for the lowest-cost primary share classes with a Medalist Rating of Gold and 100% analyst coverage. All the funds on the list carry the ESG Intentional Investment tag and have at least $100 million in assets. All data is as of Feb. 3. Because the screen was created with the lowest-cost share class for each fund, some may be listed with share classes that are not accessible to individual investors outside of retirement plans, or they may be aimed at institutional investors and require large minimum investments. The individual investor versions of those funds may carry higher fees, reducing returns to shareholders. Medalist Ratings may differ among the share classes of a fund. Morningstar expects the highly rated sustainable funds on this list to outperform their peers over a full market cycle. But though all these funds fall under the same theme, they may practice different strategies and behave differently. Investors need to do their homework to understand exactly what a particular fund invests in before buying. 1) Boston Trust SMID Cap Fund (BTSMX) by Eric Schultz, analyst Fund Size: $746.4 million Morningstar Category: US Fund Mid-Cap Blend Morningstar Medalist Rating: Gold Prospectus Net Expense Ratio: 0.75% Morningstar assigns… a High rating to its parent company, Boston Trust Walden… The $746.4 million fund has gained 0.49% over the past year, while the average fund in its category is up 9.56%. The fund, launched in November 2011, has climbed 5.60% over the past three years and 7.63% over the past five. The managers focus on identifying strong small- and mid-cap businesses with durable and predictable earnings profiles that also have reasonable valuations… The strategy has recently trailed the Russell 2500 benchmark as the rally after early April 2025 was led by lower-quality businesses that the strategy typically avoids, as they tend to underperform higher-quality businesses over longer periods.

Simon and Braden reunite for a throwback 1-on-1 to break down what’s behind the recent “SaaS apocalypse.” They discuss why AI uncertainty is crushing software multiples, how coding agents could reduce seat counts, and where value capture might shift next (subscriptions vs. usage-based and hybrid pricing). They also separate the real risks (in-house tools at large enterprises, margin pressure from AI features) from the overhyped ones (easy competition without distribution). The episode wraps with a candid check-in on Constellation Software’s selloff and what they’re watching going forward.
