2026/09/08
Join Michael Batnick, Chart Kid Matt and Sean Russo for another episode of What Are Your Thoughts and see what they have to say about: the great market re-rating, why falling P/E ratios and record-high price-to-sales multiples can coexist, and whether booming corporate earnings signal a new era for U.S. stocks. We also look at why “invest in what you know” can be terrible advice, where the fraud is hiding in today’s markets, Apple’s latest head-scratcher, unlocking SpaceX for investors, Polymarket, Mark Walter, and more. Plus, Michael brings the mystery chart.
