You can thank a wave of corporate results for the big moves. After all, it's earnings season, and that means corporate America is revealing its secrets to investors and everyone else paying attention. In this episode of The Readback, Alex Eule is joined by Barron's associate editor Jack Hough to talk about the latest round of earnings and whether three months from now corporate profit growth might actually turn negative.

23: Finding Value in Stamps: You might have heard that Bill Gross recently retired from his portfolio manager role at Janus Capital Group. There are few names in the investment world, more recognizable than Bill Gross. The so-called bond king reinvented the way investors think about debt. For years, he's been a staple in the pages of Barron's, and he sat on Barron's annual roundtable of top investors. Barron's senior writer Mary Childs has covered Bill Gross' career for several years and is working on a book about him. The Readback team thought this was a good time to re-release one of our favorite episodes of the podcast in which Mary talks about a more obscure side of the bond king: His love of stamps.

12: Robinhood's Savings Mirage: A host of digital start-ups have gotten a lot of attention in recent years for using technology to improve investing and democratize finance. Companies like Robinhood have targeted younger investors with commission-free stock trades. That's a compelling offer-but sometimes the offers are a little too compelling. Last week Robinhood announced it was offering a new checking and savings account with 3% interest. That's way higher than anything offered by banks. But there's a catch. This week on The Readback, Alex Eule talks with reporter Ben Walsh about his recent story on Robinhood. by The Readback

18: The S&P 500's Climate Risk: Just a few months ago, shares of PG&E, the California utility, were trading near $50 share. That was before the company's power lines were blamed for California's devastating forest fires. This week the company filed for bankruptcy. It's a clear example of how climate change has imperiled companies and investors. In this episode of The Readback, Alex Eule is rejoined by Barron's senior writer Leslie Norton who has just finished a major project ranking how big companies are exposed to climate risk.

22: The Cold War in Tech: This week opened with some good news in the long-running trade battle between the U.S. and China, when Donald Trump agreed to delay the big hike in tariff rates originally scheduled for March 1.

In the latest episode of The Readback, Alex Eule is joined by Barron's senior writer Reshma Kapadia to talk about why progress in U.S.-China trade talks won't solve the bigger issue-a growing battle over tech supremacy.

Up in the Air: Media Mergers, Fed Policies, & Apple Watches 12/21/23: Markets are confused, at least according to some economists. The markets snapped 7 straight weeks of gains this week, as Wall Street interpreted the Federal Reserve’s pivot from hiking rates to cutting them. Chief economics correspondent at The Wall Street Journal Nick Timiraos penned a splashy op-ed pointing to confusion among investors and Fed governors. Elon Musk biographer and Tulane professor Walter Isaacson discusses the billionaire’s tendency to polarize his advertisers and consumers. Plus, Puck’s Matt Belloni discusses Warner Bros. Discovery’s early talks with Paramount Global for a potential merger, and Apple lost a bid to delay an import ban on certain Apple watches, but it’s reportedly gearing up to release its new mixed reality headset.
