After a whirlwind of headline whiplash over the last month, last week in the economy felt... quieter. But quieter doesn’t mean unimportant. Instead of chasing breaking news, we’re settling into the “new normal”—whatever that ends up meaning in this cycle. So what do investors need to know now that the dust has (somewhat) settled? To help answer that, Nicole is joined by Karen Finerman (CEO of Metropolitan Capital Advisors, founding...

Is 2008 repeating itself? That’s the big question in the headlines, and today Nicole is talking to the perfect person to answer that question.  Steve Eisman doesn’t need much of an introduction—he’s the investor who famously saw what no one else saw in 2008 and bet against the market before the crash (he was portrayed by Steve Carell in The Big Short).

The stock market just had its worst day since 2020, and Trump’s proposed “Liberation Day” tariffs are at the center of the storm. The administration is arguing that these sweeping international tariffs will be a win for American workers—promising to bring manufacturing back home, reduce the trade deficit, and generate revenue.

But most of us don’t use that power, and while we sit it out, others are stepping in—often to push agendas, not better business. Today, Nicole is joined...
