In this episode of Financial Perspectives, host Tanya Suba-Tang sits down with Benjamin Armellini – Managing Partner at Main Street Research – for a candid look at the forces shaping today’s markets. Together, they unpack an economy landscape defined by volatile trade policy, uneven sector performance, and a labor market that looks very different depending on where you stand.
Benjamin offers a global perspective on earnings growth, highlights where investors may be overlooking meaningful opportunities outside the U.S., and explains why AI-driven sectors have widened the gap between headline indexes and the rest of the market. They also explore the disconnect between lagging economic data and real-time market behavior, the implications of shifting capital expenditure trends, and what a “Goldilocks environment” really means for long-term investors.
The conversation closes with grounded, practical guidance—why market timing continues to fail investors, how to define success beyond benchmarks, and why having a clear plan matters more than ever in a noisy, fast-moving economy.
