WSJ Your Money Briefing · Why Would Wall Street Reward Earnings Season Losers? · 30 Jan 2019 podcast

I mean, that was a company reported disappointing earnings. voice-verified

didn't get the same treatment as a Ford or a Fastenal, and you saw shares then fall. voice-verified

So it's not sort of this overjoyous piling into anything that's reporting right now, but there is some benefits for companies right now that maybe have been maybe oversold in December where they can recoup a little bit of those losses. voice-verified

But voice-verified

And that's sort of the interesting situation with, say, Ford. voice-verified

You know, you have some of these companies that are missing and then they're giving guidance or some insight, maybe not full on guidance, but just some insight into what 2019 has in store for them. voice-verified

And they're not saying that this is going to be an easy year by any stretch. voice-verified

So investors do need to be mindful. voice-verified

We have trade negotiations that are that are really going to take the next step later this week. voice-verified

there's going to be expectations to see sort of how the Federal Reserve proceeds with those interest rate hikes. voice-verified

And all those factors could have a pretty detrimental effect on stocks like we saw at the end of 2018. voice-verified

So this isn't really by any stretch all clear, but it is part of the volatility that investors were certainly expecting to see in January, this sort of give and take in stocks in the week to week. voice-verified

That was probably really the overarching concern coming into this year. voice-verified

These companies, even the ones that are reporting a little bit of weaker results, voice-verified

they're still saying they're seeing a strong consumer. voice-verified

Most of the issues for them are rising commodity costs, rising wage costs, which is something that could be sort of a double-edged sword for the stock market. voice-verified

And in a way, investors are realizing that the economy is certainly slowing, but we're not in a recession yet. voice-verified

That's going to take at least a year, two years, maybe longer for that to come. voice-verified

And it's usually not announced yet. voice-verified

WSJ Your Money Briefing · Stocks Rise; Investors Await Jobs Data and the Fed · 25 Jan 2019 podcast

We're seeing over the course of this week, but really just the start of this year, just a chipping away at the problems that have been plaguing the market, especially in the fourth quarter of last year. voice-verified
