    Great intentions but just too goofy. It's obvious they're trying to connect with the younger crowd given the girl host is 18 and doesn't understand markets.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AM 22 Oct 26: Can SpaceX keep the AI rally going?
Q: So what's really caught your eye at the moment, James?
Gruber points to earnings-driven gains in AI-linked stocks, especially SpaceX and Super Micro Computer, while noting declines in AT&T and Netflix and higher US Treasury yields.
AM 22 Oct 26: Can SpaceX keep the AI rally going?
Q: What do you think of the implications of that particular deal could be, James?
Gruber says a combined SpaceX and Tesla could have a market capitalization near $5 trillion and attract increased passive investment flows, potentially supporting SpaceX's share price.
AM 14 Oct 26: How will Wall Street respond to earnings season?
Q: Well, despite the Aussie share market lagging other developed markets this year, it's still up by around 4.7% including dividends. And somewhat surprisingly, it's only 5% off the record highs reached in August.
James Gruber said resource stocks have contributed most, healthcare has recently recovered, and investors have favoured defensive consumer staples. Real estate and consumer discretionary lagged, while technology was down 23% in 2026.
AM 14 Oct 26: How will Wall Street respond to earnings season?
Q: So James, US markets, they're hovering around the flat line to slightly lower as we head into the close of the session. There's a fair bit for investors to digest with earnings for a number of heavyweight banks and also healthcare companies today.
James Gruber described mixed quarterly results, selling pressure in chip stocks and healthcare shares weighing on the S&P 500. Apple and Microsoft gains partly offset chip declines, while major banks produced varied results.
AM 15 Oct 26: Wall Street tumbles as US inflation climbs
Q: So James, can you shed a little bit more light on what's behind these big falls?
James Gruber attributes the US market declines to hot inflation and rising rate expectations, bank earnings, and pressure on AI-related companies sensitive to borrowing costs. He cites losses among large technology companies, chipmakers and banks.
