In this episode the blokes breakdown the markets & ask the question are stocks doomed?The blokes discuss how it's a great time to be trading! Markets are directional which presents huge opportunity to capitalise.Rory also tells us how McDonald's was founded. Have you watched the movie about McDonalds? If not it's a great watch for anyone with an entrepreneurial mindset. I won't spoil it here but I do suggest to watch it.This week In markets we focus on Yields, consumer confidence, dollar strength and equities which remain pressured as market sentiment shifts!A weak bond market which is effectively pushing yields higher and strength into the dollar is playing havoc on the equity market. As of 6pm London time on Tuesday, the S&P500 was down over -1.1% as dollar continued to surge and yields on the 10yr pushed past 4.5%.Fed Member Neel Kashkari reiterated his statement that he expects another rate hike this year however that was closely followed by a statement saying he thinks there's a 60% chance of a soft landing. I feel like he's been told to say this as markets reacted the first time and ignored him on the latter.China is also facing problems with the housing market under pressure and the major Evergreen defaulting on a 4 billion yuan payment which is putting pressure on the Chinese Yuan and Chinese equities which is also spilling into European and US markets.Oil continues to hold at higher levels even though it is somewhat softer the last few days. Some economists have warned if oil exploration in the US is not more heavily invested in then there is risk of an under supply and prices pushed past $120 and even as high as $150.Some favourite stock picks this week are still short ideas on UAL from Rory as higher fuel costs and potential for lower fares coupled with lower demand could impact top and bottom line. Jonathan is keeping an eye on MSFT to see whether their latest investment into the AI race will allow the stock to find some support.Check out the FREE Two Blokes Trading Community for education, analysis & much more!

The danger of echo chambers. This is the key learning lesson I want to address in this video as I use the AMC Apes as the cast study. The main downside of echo chambers is their ability to remove your ability to think logically and clearly. As you will see, this AMC Ape I had an interaction with says the quiet part out loud, yet, most AMC Apes would never notice because of their position in the echo chamber. For those of us on the outside of the chamber, we will all notice a key admission this AMC Ape makes which perfectly points out a key cause of AMC's stock troubles. I want to be very clear, I am not claiming that shorts do not exist on AMC. They do! Shorts are involved in every stock including AAPL, MSFT and many others. But, there is another very anti-climatic explanation for AMC's struggles that is openly admitted to (accidentally) by an AMC Ape. If you're stuck in an echo chamber, you may miss it… and that's the point! Step out of the echo chambers to ensure you are giving yourself a full 360 degree view of the situation!

The MacVoices Live! panel of Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Patrice Brend'Amour,Jim Rea, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Web Bixby, Eric Bolden, Jeff Gamet, Mark Fuccio, Kelly Guimont, Ben Roethig, and Guy Serle finish up their discussion of Apple's Wanderlust event with some (for now) final conclusions. They highlight the iPhone 15 Pro's hardware ray tracing and USB-C port, which offer great benefits for 3D work and accessory options, and debate the size options, questioning whether purchasing the Pro models is not necessary unless you need faster USB-C speed and 5x zoom. The line between the 15 and 15 Pro is blurring, and the panel can't fully agree on who which model is for. (Part 3)  This edition of MacVoices is brought to you by our Patreon supporters.

The MacVoices Live! panel of Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Patrice Brend'Amour,Jim Rea, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Web Bixby, Eric Bolden, Jeff Gamet, Mark Fuccio, Kelly Guimont, Ben Roethig, and Guy Serle finish up their discussion of Apple's Wanderlust event with some (for now) final conclusions. They highlight the iPhone 15 Pro's hardware ray tracing and USB-C port, which offer great benefits for 3D work and accessory options, and debate the size options, questioning whether purchasing the Pro models is not necessary unless you need faster USB-C speed and 5x zoom. The line between the 15 and 15 Pro is blurring, and the panel can't fully agree on who which model is for. (Part 3)  This edition of MacVoices is brought to you by our Patreon supporters.
