    Why Bill Ackman & Jamie Dimon may be wrong about tariff inflation Apr 09, 2025
    Show notes

    Just like that, hope for the economy tied to the Trump administration's pro-business policies, such as tax codes, have gone up in smoke. In its place is an almost baseline scenario on Wall Street that the US economy will slip into a recession amid bruising new tariffs, while some sources we have talked to suggest the US economy is already in a mild recession and others have voiced concerns about a depression.


    Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has acknowledged the challenges the US economy may face this year as tariffs ripple through global supply chains. He also has hinted the Fed’s hands may be tied with respect to an economic slowdown response. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sits down with veteran economist and Independent Institute senior fellow Judy Shelton to get her perspective on the state of the economy as it has been shocked by the Trump administration. Shelton is a long-time critic of Fed policy, and she weighs in on what Powell & co. may do next.

    Why the US may already be in a recession Apr 07, 2025
    Show notes

    With Trump tariff headlines ripping through markets and economic data, recession calls or predictions for a sharp economic slowdown are coming into the light. The most direct one comes out of BCA Research’s veteran strategist Peter Berezin. Berezin said he sees a 75% chance of a recession within the next three months. In his second quarter outlook for clients, Berezin warned about a “buckling” US consumer and weakening labor market. Berezin has gained attention of late for being the lone bear on Wall Street coming into 2025. He has a year-end target on the S&P 500 of 4,450. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) opened the year at 5,903. Berezin has been an economist for more than 30 years, with stints at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Goldman Sachs, and now BCA Research. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sits down on the Opening Bid podcast with Berezin about his big calls and why investors need to listen up.

    OpenAI, Apple, & Meta race to dominate the future of this tech Apr 04, 2025
    Show notes

    Believe it or not, there are other things going on in the world of business and tech than tariffs and sell-offs in the "Magnificent 7." Take blockchain, crypto and Web3 – three areas that continue to see their fair share of startups seeking to make their names. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sits down with Mysten Labs co-founder and CEO Evan Cheng. Cheng has spent good chunks of time in tech leadership roles at Apple (AAPL) and Meta (META). Since 2021, he has been building the Web3 platform Mylen Labs. The timing looks to have been spot on, as the crypto space has notched several wins under the Trump administration. With President Trump leaning into making the US the bitcoin (BTC-USD) capital of the world, what does it mean for Web3 early entrants such as Mylen Labs? Cheng weighs in,and shares how leadership lessons learned at Apple and Meta are paying dividends at his startup.

    Tariffs are the last thing apparel industry needs: Rebecca Minkoff Apr 02, 2025
    Show notes

    Retailers are getting swept into the black vortex that are tariff headlines from the Trump administration. Big names such as Walmart (WMT), Target (TGT), Gap (GAP), and Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) have warned about the impact of tariffs this year on profits. In the meantime, shoppers are growing concerned about what they will be paying for spring and summer apparel once tariffs kick in. The reality is that consumers may resist the higher prices, sending retailers off to offer profit-busting discounts and earnings warnings. Luxury goods companies are by no means immune to the challenges as their results have been powered by international shoppers and a wealthy class feasting on strong stock market gains (until now). Is there any reason to be optimistic about the sector? Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sits down on the Opening Bid podcast with noted fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff for her perspective on the state of retail. Minkoff created her company from the ground floor in the mid-2000s and has seen some of the highest of the highs and lowest of the lows in retail. Minkoff is also the author of the new book Fearless: The New Rules for Unlocking Creativity, Courage, and Success, where she aims to impart leadership wisdom to the next generation of female entrepreneurs.

    The biggest investing mistakes you keep making and why Mar 31, 2025
    Show notes

    Sometimes figuring out the best way to invest your money is to look back at your mistakes and those of others. The reality is there is no one person that could accurately pick winning stocks day in and day out, or even over time. That may not be the vibe you hear in certain areas of investing such as on X or TikTok, or in the financial blogosphere. Investing remains tough, with so much information coming at you literally around the clock. The only way to get better is to be disciplined and live in a constant state of learning. Do those things, and you may have a better-than-average chance at wealth-building success. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sits down on the Opening Bid podcast with money manager and longtime financial blogger Barry Ritholtz to discuss his new book called: How Not to Invest: The Ideas, Numbers and Behaviors That Destroy Wealth – and How to Avoid Them. Ritholtz is the co-founder and chairman of Ritholtz Wealth Management and has seen his fair share of investing mistakes over decades. In many cases, he has written about them on his blog as if to chronicle history’s biggest investing mistakes. The two discuss his new book and the biggest issues facing markets right now.

    Build-a-Bear CEO on reinvention and Trump tariffs Mar 28, 2025
    Show notes

    Many mall-based retailers are struggling amid the shift to online shopping. Build-a-Bear (BBW), founded in 1997, isn't one of them. The retailer is making money, opening new stores, and has seen its stock price surge 2,200% in the past five years. So what’s the company’s secret ingredient? Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sits down on the Opening Bid podcast with Build-a-Bear CEO Sharon Price John. John has been one of the longest-serving CEOs of a public company, leading Build-a-Bear since 2013. During that stretch, she has pushed the mall-based retail chain to close to 600 locations worldwide. The company is doubling down on international store openings and innovative new stuffed animals. Despite the efforts, the company could see its profits clipped by the Trump administration’s tariffs. Build-a-Bear gets close to 50% of its costs of goods sold from China. Will the toymaker be forced to jack up prices on cash-strapped consumers? John shares her perspective.

    Trump tariff volatility pops CEO happiness bubble Mar 26, 2025
    Show notes

    Tariffs, inflation and recession fears and slowing economic data have dominated investor attention in March. And all of these topics could dominate the minds of investors come April, too! Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi sits down on the Opening Bid podcast with IBM (IBM) vice chairman Gary Cohn. Cohn served as the director of the National Economic Council during the first Trump administration. The former top executive at Goldman Sachs is seen as a key bridge between the current Trump administration and Wall Street. Cohn hasn’t hidden his differing view on tariffs compared to Trump, believing tariffs are a form of tax that cause inflation. Cohn weighs in on the potential economic impact of reciprocal tariffs on Trump’s self proclaimed April 2 ‘Liberation Day’, and if the country is moving closer to a recession. Given his view on AI from his work for IBM, Cohn also shares perspective on the tech space as important stocks such as Nvidia (NVDA) trade under pressure.

    Why Nvidia stock is still a must own Mar 24, 2025
    Show notes

    Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang has had a month, as one would say. He provided more details on powerful new AI chips, such as Blackwell Ultra and Vera Rubin at its big annual GTC conference, chips that could help take civilization to a whole other level of productivity. At the same time, he moved to alter the narrative that DeepSeek's advances in AI equaled bad news for demand for Nvidia's chips. And to top it all off, he held a meeting with top quantum computing CEOs to make peace after sending the sector reeling earlier this year. Despite the flurry of headlines, Nvidia’s stock is still going in reverse. In fact, the stock has been lagging for the entire year. What gives? Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi talks with BofA semiconductor analyst Vivek Arya about what’s weighing on Nvidia’s super hot stock, and why. Arya attended GTC and shares his firsthand account on what he learned on the ground. Arya is also fresh off upgrading shares of ailing chip-maker Intel (INTC) amid the appointment of a new CEO in Lip-Bu Tan. Sozzi and Arya discuss that big call and the state of the semiconductor industry.

    Wendy's CEO: from AI-powered drive-thrus to thick bacon Mar 21, 2025
    Show notes

    Much has been said about Chipotle (CMG) and Starbucks (SBUX) in restaurant circles over the past year. Chipotle finds itself with a new CEO in Scott Boatwright, who is looking to ramp store growth to a new level. And as he said on Yahoo Finance’s Opening Bid podcast, possibly bring more robots into its kitchens!


    As for Boatwright’s former boss Brian Niccol, he finds himself with the biggest challenge in an illustrious restaurant career — as a CEO at Starbucks trying to rejuvenate the coffee serving icon.


    One story that has gone under the radar is the reinvigoration of Wendy’s (WEN) under CEO Kirk Tanner. Tanner just passed his one-year mark at Wendy’s and fresh off an investor day, it’s clear he has big goals for an iconic American fast food chain founded by Dave Thomas. Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi sits down on the Opening Bid podcast with Tanner to discuss his plans for the chain, including an aggressive pace of new store openings, AI powered drive-thrus and doubling down on breakfast.
