In Episode 48 of The Market Enthusiast, Noah Brooks and Chris Needs dive into the intersection of politics, profits, and perception as we head toward year end. From Jamie Dimon’s $3 billion Manhattan headquarters and New York’s newly elected socialist mayor to shifting investor sentiment and stretched corporate margins, they unpack what’s driving the markets beneath the surface.

They discuss why Big Tech earnings remain strong even as small and mid-cap stocks struggle, how labor data and layoffs could shape the next phase of the cycle, and what history from the Erie Canal to artificial intelligence can teach us about productivity and profitability. The episode wraps with a grounded look at valuations, volatility, and why emotional investing rarely pays off.
