Episode 703: Neal and Toby recap big tech earnings coming from Meta, Microsoft, and Alphabet. Then, the Fed makes its 2nd rate cut for the year as well as ending the effort to reduce its balance sheet, all while acknowledging the data blackout from the government shutdown. Also, ‘A House of Dynamite’ might have just made a big boom…but in the wrong place as the Pentagon vehemently rejects how the US missile defense system is portrayed. Next, Neal shares his favorite numbers on the fried chicken wars, animal actors, and PTO.
