Distorted Jobs, Structural Limits & Global Edge — Eric Pachman on the Hidden Economy

Distorted Jobs, Structural Limits & Global Edge — Eric Pachman on the Hidden Economy In this episode of The Money Path, ⁠Todd Schoenberger⁠ [https://x.com/TMSchoenberger] sits down with ⁠Eric Pachman⁠ [https://x.com/EricPachman], Chief Analytics Officer at ⁠Bancreek Capital Advisors⁠ [https://www.bancreek.com/], to pull back the veil on what the U.S. labor market really looks like — and why many headline numbers are misleading. Eric argues that the healthcare & social assistance sector acts like a distorted “green box” in employment data, masking weakness elsewhere. He shares early signs of layoffs tied to future Medicaid cuts, and warns that without this sector, many industries are already in recession territory. We also dig into: * How professional & business services have driven most of the job gains despite being a small slice of employment * The structural limits constraining the Fed’s policy tool chest in the face of deep sectoral imbalances * Immigration’s role in sustaining labor supply as participation rates decline * The long-term fallout from declining birth rates on education and soft skills * Bancreek’s ETF approach: how they build quantitative models to identify companies with “institutional endurance” * Why international equities may offer better risk/reward now — and how their BCUS (U.S.) and BCIL (Intl) funds aim to deliver Whether you’re a macro investor, advisor, or data nerd, this episode unpacks the hidden dynamics behind the headlines and surfaces where real opportunity may lie.   📢 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Like⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@CrossCheckMedia]⁠ 👍 | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Comment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@CrossCheckMedia]⁠ 💬 | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@CrossCheckMedia]⁠ 🔔 for more in-depth market analysis! 🔗 Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://crosscheckmanagement.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://crosscheckmanagement.com/] 📧 Contact on Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠support@biztalktodaytv.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📢 Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this episode are those of the guests and hosts and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of CrossCheck Media or Biz Talk Today TV.

The Money Path: Sam Stovall’s Q3 Earnings & Bull Market Outlook — What to Watch in Q4

The Money Path: Sam Stovall’s Q3 Earnings & Bull Market Outlook — What to Watch in Q4 On this episode of The Money Path, ⁠Todd Schoenberger⁠ [https://x.com/TMSchoenberger] sits down with ⁠Sam Stovall⁠ [https://x.com/StovallCFRA], Chief Investment Strategist at ⁠CFRA Research⁠ [https://www.cfraresearch.com/], for a deep dive into where the market is headed. While recent Federal Reserve rate cuts and solid economic signals have pushed stocks to new records, Stovall cautions that no bull run lasts forever — and Q4 may test that strength. We cover: * What upcoming Q3 earnings from big banks like JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America could reveal about economic resilience. * The historical performance of Q4, where traditionally the S&P 500 has posted gains ~80% of the time, and how small caps, technology, and financials may stand out. * Why valuations are raising eyebrows — especially with earnings growth already priced in. Analysts from UBS and others are forecasting robust earnings, but they warn selectivity is essential. * Market risk indicators: with rising inflation signals, persistent labor constraints, and a Fed that may cut less aggressively than markets hope. Morgan Stanley strategists recently warned the bull could falter without a quicker Fed pivot. Key takeaways from Stovall: “We’re in a strong market, no question — but October is historically the most volatile month. Earnings and job data will decide how much steam is left.” If you want to position your portfolio wisely, this episode’s for you. 📺 ⁠Watch it on CrossCheck Media with Biz Talk Today TV⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/live/wTr2Fs7EWGw?si=10k_0yWqeWrMSPp1] and make sure to ⁠Subscribe⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@CrossCheckMedia] to our YouTube channel so you’re notified as soon as the show goes live. #TheMoneyPath #SamStovall #BullMarket #Q3Earnings #SP500 #TechStocks #Financials #MarketOutlook #Volatility #FedPolicy #Investing #CrossCheckMedia

Is the Russell 2000 Forming a Double Top? Mish Schneider on Small Caps, Triple Witching & What’s Ahead

WealthWise: Is the Russell 2000 Forming a Double Top? Mish Schneider on Small Caps, Triple Witching & What’s Ahead Join ⁠WealthWise with Jeffrey Hirsch⁠ [https://x.com/AlmanacTrader] live with ⁠Mish Schneider⁠ [https://x.com/marketminute], Chief Strategist at ⁠MarketGauge.com⁠ [https://marketgauge.com/], as they unpack some of the most pressing market patterns and risks right now. Highlights include: * The Russell 2000 recently hit highs comparable to November 2024, prompting talk of a double top formation. While momentum has pushed small-caps higher in recent weeks, Mish warns this pattern could signal resistance ahead unless confirmed. * All four major U.S. indices — Russell 2000, S&P 500, Nasdaq, and the Dow — just closed at record highs together, a rare alignment since November 2021. What does this broad strength mean if the Russell 2000 can’t break above its resistance zone? * Sector performance under the microscope: regional banks, transports, energy. Are rate cuts enough to power small caps next, or will they lag behind larger, more rate-sensitive names? * Upcoming Triple Witching Friday looms large: with over $5 trillion in options, index, and futures contracts set to expire, some traders expect volatile action. We discuss whether this volume will translate into sharp swings or if markets will digest it quietly. Mish also shares her favorite setups, what chart signals she’s watching closely, and how she balances risk when patterns look extended. Don’t miss it — this is essential if you trade or invest around small caps, rate cuts, or technical triggers. ⁠Subscribe to CrossCheck Media on YouTube⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@CrossCheckMedia] to catch Mish’s full technical breakdowns live. 📢 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Like⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@CrossCheckMedia]⁠ 👍 | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Comment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@CrossCheckMedia]⁠ 💬 | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@CrossCheckMedia]⁠ 🔔 for more in-depth market analysis! 🔗 Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://crosscheckmanagement.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://crosscheckmanagement.com/] 📧 Contact on Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠support@biztalktodaytv.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📢 Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this episode are those of the guests and hosts and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of CrossCheck Media or Biz Talk Today TV.
