In this week’s Stocks & Markets Podcast, Chris Versace [https://pro.thestreet.com/author/chris-versace] is joined by TheStreet Pro’s Bob Lang [https://pro.thestreet.com/author/bob-lang] for a sweeping conversation that begins with a technical look at the S&P 500 and key indicators to watch, and ends with member questions. In between, Bob explains why price action is a key metric that he follows and shares his take on the put-call ratio and how to use it. Chris and Bob detail why they both see the December-quarter earnings season as an important development for the market, and why how the market reacts to near-term reports will be telling. Bob explains why he is tracking the consumer discretionary space, and Chris adds which part of that he is taking a look at for the Pro Portfolio. The two also talk about recent developments surrounding the Fed, who Bob likes as the next Fed Chair, and why the market may be getting it wrong about rate cuts in 2026. The conversation ends with Bob looking at the chart of Arista Networks ANET and asking Chris about the Pro Portfolio's EPS Diplomats strategy.
