The podcast episodes discuss how earnings expectations have emerged as a major market theme for the second half of 2024, as investors closely watch companies' financial reports and outlooks for insights into the broader economic and market trends.

Several episodes, such as A Mid-Year Check-In, Apple Nears New Highs… And The Second Half Playbook 7/1/24, and Why investors should "expect the chop to continue", highlight the importance of earnings expectations in shaping market performance, sector outlooks, and investor sentiment.

The episodes explore how factors like the performance of the tech and AI sectors, the Fed's policy decisions, and the upcoming U.S. election can influence earnings expectations and, in turn, market dynamics.
