Episode 302: Today, John and Hanna unpack Microsoft’s earnings and its voluntary buyout offer to 60,000 employees to discuss what a booming business with a shrinking workforce says about the job market. Then, we connect the dots between the Fed’s rate decision, its Beige Book and the latest PCE report to see what signals the economy is sending. Also: Alphabet shares are tumbling after its latest earnings – what does it have to do with Google Search? Finally, we break down quarterly results from Caterpillar, Eli Lilly and Crocs… and why Hershey gave investors a scare just before Halloween.
