Plus, what the recent volatility in the bond market means for investors.
In this new episode of The Morning Filter podcast, co-hosts Dave Sekera and Sarah Hansen unpack a very bumpy week in the markets, from a dramatic selloff in AI-linked names and an ongoing rotation from growth to value to a huge rally in the Treasury market. They cover what to watch for in upcoming earnings reports from Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, and more. They also recap a busy week of earnings and new research on SpaceX SPCX, Meta META, and Tesla TSLA.
They answer a viewer question about Morningstar’s star ratings for stocks, and Dave explains how to incorporate those ratings into a broader investment strategy. They wrap up with five stock buys that are trading at big discounts.
