  • Audio

    Good content; however, the host’s audio equipment is very poor and an unfortunate distraction. It seems I am not the only one making note of this.

  • Good show but need to QC sound prior to releasing.

    I like the topic and guests on this show. However, Lauren’s audio gear leaves a lot to be desired. Her sound quality is about the worst of any podcast I’ve listened to.

  • Horrible audio‼️⁉️

    Today Lauren had someone pressing a pillow on her face!!! Horrible audio… please do a gofundme to buy a mic

    Why are your guests talking with a pillow on their mouth?? If your guests are dialing in then All you need to do is ask them to use a wired headphone. How hard is it? Why wouldn’t you just care enough to ask them to use one??

  • Microphone/sound

    I would really like if the Hostess would get a better microphone, it is terrible sound with her voice pitch, it is easily fixed by a quality microphone or hire a sound producer/editor

    As others have said, Lauren is middlin’ but Ben is excellent. He does all of the heavy lifting. He’s candid, owns his missed picks. I really enjoy his content. I wish they did the show more than once a week.

    I’ve never had the trouble with audio that others have complained about. Perhaps I’m just an old and remember the days of genuinely poor audio.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Quality Stocks on Sale: An Update from the Barron's Roundtable's Christopher Rossbach
Q: What is your US rate forecast for 2026 and 2027, and how do you weave in Warsh and the Gulf situation?
We focus on company fundamentals rather than markets, but see a data-based environment with a Goldilocks stance where rates are balanced; we expect gradual rate adjustments reflecting global energy dynamics and inflation, while remaining selective about which firms can sustain growth and capital allocation.
The Bullish Trend Is Your Friend: Talking Stocks With Sam Stovall
Q: Will the S&P 500 equal weight outperform the S&P 500 cap weight over the next six to 12 months?
The hosts and Sam discuss that equal-weight strategies historically showed strength during certain periods, but over the longer horizon, relative performance depends on whether mid caps and small caps rotations continue, with equal-weight indices offering a balance of exposure and volatility.
Get Ready for a Red Hot IPO Summer
Q: How will SpaceX's inclusion in indexes affect trading and investor behavior?
Index inclusion provides a built-in buyer base and a floor from index funds, which should reduce extreme downside risk but will still leave room for volatility depending on how insiders and retail traders trade around lockups.
Wanted: Global Companies with Transformational Growth
Q: How do you view the SpaceX IPO and its potential impact on markets?
They acknowledge the hype but emphasize that IPO pricing and retail participation are uncertain; the discussion centers on the company's unique long-term potential rather than short-term stock moves.
Wanted: Global Companies with Transformational Growth
Q: What would you say has been your best performer over that period?
Mark notes early Amazon as a standout due to its disruptive culture and long-term growth, highlighting the evolution from e-commerce to a broad platform with logistics advantages.
