All eyes were on the Fed in the first half of 2024, but with core PCE holding steady and no rate cuts, how did the other parts of the economy and the markets fare? In this midyear episode, Schwab experts look ahead to the second half of 2024 to consider what investors might expect from the U.S. stock market, the global markets, and policy and politics in Washington D.C.
First, Liz Ann Sonders and Kevin Gordon discuss the current trends and bifurcations in the equity market. They highlight the significant spread between large-cap and small-cap performance, with the S&P 500® outperforming the Russell 2000. They also discuss the divergence within large-cap stocks, particularly in the growth trio of tech, communication services, and consumer discretionary sectors. The conversation emphasizes the concentration of performance in a small number of major drivers, such as Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon. They also touch on the bifurcation between index-level gains and weaker member-level performance in the NASDAQ. The conversation concludes by noting the relationship between market bifurcations and broader economic trends.
Next, Liz Ann interviews Jeffrey Kleintop, Schwab's chief global strategist. Their conversation covers the global economic outlook, China's market performance, central bank policy, geopolitical risk, election risks, and asset allocation. Jeff discusses the recovery in the global manufacturing sector, China's stock market performance, central bank rate cuts, geopolitical developments, and the importance of international diversification.
Finally, Kathy Jones interviews Mike Townsend, Schwab's managing director of legislative and regulatory affairs and the host of the WashingtonWisepodcast. They discuss the legislative agenda for the second half of the year, the upcoming presidential election, the regulatory agenda, and the battle for control of Congress.

Successful investors know that choosing what to sell is just as important as choosing what to buy. However, findings from a recent study suggest that even professional portfolio managers are subject to psychological forces while making buying and selling decisions.
On this episode, Mark Riepe discusses these recent findings with Alex Imas, professor of behavioral science and economics at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and co-author of the study "Selling Fast and Buying Slow: Heuristics and Trading Performance of Institutional Investors."

Not all compensation takes the form of a cash salary or bonus. Today, many startups and most of the companies on the Fortune 500 list allow their employees to take ownership in the company through stock awards, employee stock purchase plans, stock options, or some other form of equity compensation. Despite this boom of employee ownership offerings, employee education and familiarity around these offerings appears to be falling behind.
On this episode of Financial Decoder, host Mark Riepe is joined by Stacie Sands, a director on Schwab's Stock Plan Services team and a Certified Equity Professional. Together they unpack equity compensation, the forms it takes, and how to navigate the decisions that come with it.

Sometimes an oft-repeated axiom, maxim, or cliché has at least a small piece of truth to it. Others make sense and are true in some situations, but not others.
The world of finance and investing is no exception to the coining of popular axioms and the misconceptions that can go along with them—especially when it comes to trading stocks. Traders are well-supplied with frequently repeated sayings that speak to perceived data patterns. And they must work to gut-check choices plagued by their own emotional biases.
On this episode of Financial Decoder, host Mark Riepe is joined by Nathan Peterson, director of derivatives analysis, to unpack a handful of these more ubiquitous expressions around investing and trading and give insight into how much weight they should carry in your decision-making.
To read the study Mark references on the connections between risk tolerance and visceral pain, check out "Relating the Visceral Factor of Pain to Domain-Specific Risk Attitudes" in the Journal of Behavioral Decision Making.
