The fight for restaurant relevance. Within the past year, the sit-down dining industry has seen its fair share of troubles. Hooters filed for bankruptcy earlier this year. Red Lobster managed to emerge from bankruptcy in September 2024. At the heart of the bankruptcies were changing demographics, shifts in how people work and poor decisions on food quality and experience. No sit-down restaurant encompasses this more than TGI Fridays. The company filed for bankruptcy in November 2024 following years of missteps. The company closed dozens of locations as part of the bankruptcy process. What has emerged is a much smaller franchisee led chain that is hoping to find some form of relevance again after a storied history with cocktails and potato skins. Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi sits down on the Opening Bid podcast with the person responsible for that turnaround, TGI Fridays CEO Ray Blanchette. Blanchette started as a manager trainee in 1989, rising the ranks to hold the CEO role for six years. Blanchette left in 2023. Can he save TGI Fridays? The clock is ticking.

There isn’t much Pat Gelsinger hasn’t done in the tech industry. He created cutting edge technology decades ago at Intel (INTC). Then went off to VMWare to reinvest the tech player. He then returned to Intel several years ago to revive the chip giant. But Gelsinger’s tenure at Intel was rocking as the company fell behind rivals like Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD (AMD)with AI chips. The company also made a big decision to start making its own chips, which came at a material cost to the bottom line. With results and the stock price under pressure, Gelsinger and Intel parted ways in December 2024. Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi talks with Gelsinger now that he has had some to reflect on his Intel tenure. Gelsinger has emerged as an investor in startups, taking his experience at Intel and seeking to help the next generation of tech leaders.

So much for the mini relief rally in one of the world’s most popular stocks. Shares of Nvidia fell as much as 5% in early trading on Wednesday as the company said it would take a $5.5 billion charge as the Trump administration barred it from selling its H20 AI chip in China. The news comes a day after Nvidia tossed the Trump administration a big bone in committing to spend $500 billion over four years to manufacture AI supercomputers in the US. Nvidia’s whopping charge and the subsequent negative reaction in the stock should remind investors of at least two things. One, the US and China remain far apart in a trade deal – and in the meantime, escalations along the lines of the Nvidia chip news should be expected. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent suggested a deal with China hasn't yet taken form in an exclusive interview with Yahoo Finance on Tuesday. Talks between the two haven’t commenced, Bessent suggested. And two as it pertains to Nvidia, in this environment investors should assume bad news isn’t baked into the stock price. The fact Nvidia’s stock price is being hit on news pros say had been expected says a lot about ongoing market uncertainty amid the trade war.

Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sits down with bond market expert and founder of The Bear Traps Report Lawrence McDonald to get his thoughts on the high-stakes situation. McDonald says a Lehman Brothers-like moment may be coming to markets. He adds there are other ways to invest in Nvidia (NVDA) besides investing in Nvidia, suggesting metals stocks or the hard assets themselves.

Just like that, hope for the economy tied to the Trump administration's pro-business policies, such as tax codes, have gone up in smoke. In its place is an almost baseline scenario on Wall Street that the US economy will slip into a recession amid bruising new tariffs, while some sources we have talked to suggest the US economy is already in a mild recession and others have voiced concerns about a depression.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has acknowledged the challenges the US economy may face this year as tariffs ripple through global supply chains. He also has hinted the Fed’s hands may be tied with respect to an economic slowdown response. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sits down with veteran economist and Independent Institute senior fellow Judy Shelton to get her perspective on the state of the economy as it has been shocked by the Trump administration. Shelton is a long-time critic of Fed policy, and she weighs in on what Powell & co. may do next.

With Trump tariff headlines ripping through markets and economic data, recession calls or predictions for a sharp economic slowdown are coming into the light. The most direct one comes out of BCA Research’s veteran strategist Peter Berezin. Berezin said he sees a 75% chance of a recession within the next three months. In his second quarter outlook for clients, Berezin warned about a “buckling” US consumer and weakening labor market. Berezin has gained attention of late for being the lone bear on Wall Street coming into 2025. He has a year-end target on the S&P 500 of 4,450. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) opened the year at 5,903. Berezin has been an economist for more than 30 years, with stints at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Goldman Sachs, and now BCA Research. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sits down on the Opening Bid podcast with Berezin about his big calls and why investors need to listen up.

Believe it or not, there are other things going on in the world of business and tech than tariffs and sell-offs in the "Magnificent 7." Take blockchain, crypto and Web3 – three areas that continue to see their fair share of startups seeking to make their names. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sits down with Mysten Labs co-founder and CEO Evan Cheng. Cheng has spent good chunks of time in tech leadership roles at Apple (AAPL) and Meta (META).

Retailers are getting swept into the black vortex that are tariff headlines from the Trump administration. Big names such as Walmart (WMT), Target (TGT), Gap (GAP), and Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) have warned about the impact of tariffs this year on profits. In the meantime, shoppers are growing concerned about what they will be paying for spring and summer apparel once tariffs kick in. The reality is that consumers may resist the higher prices, sending retailers off to offer profit-busting discounts and earnings warnings. Luxury goods companies are by no means immune to the challenges as their results have been powered by international shoppers and a wealthy class feasting on strong stock market gains (until now). Is there any reason to be optimistic about the sector? Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sits down on the Opening Bid podcast with noted fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff for her perspective on the state of retail. Minkoff created her company from the ground floor in the mid-2000s and has seen some of the highest of the highs and lowest of the lows in retail. Minkoff is also the author of the new book Fearless: The New Rules for Unlocking Creativity, Courage, and Success, where she aims to impart leadership wisdom to the next generation of female entrepreneurs.

Sometimes figuring out the best way to invest your money is to look back at your mistakes and those of others. The reality is there is no one person that could accurately pick winning stocks day in and day out, or even over time. That may not be the vibe you hear in certain areas of investing such as on X or TikTok, or in the financial blogosphere. Investing remains tough, with so much information coming at you literally around the clock. The only way to get better is to be disciplined and live in a constant state of learning. Do those things, and you may have a better-than-average chance at wealth-building success.

In many cases, he has written about them on his blog as if to chronicle history’s biggest investing mistakes. The two discuss his new book and the biggest issues facing markets right now.

Many mall-based retailers are struggling amid the shift to online shopping. Build-a-Bear (BBW), founded in 1997, isn't one of them. The retailer is making money, opening new stores, and has seen its stock price surge 2,200% in the past five years. So what’s the company’s secret ingredient? Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sits down on the Opening Bid podcast with Build-a-Bear CEO Sharon Price John. John has been one of the longest-serving CEOs of a public company, leading Build-a-Bear since 2013. During that stretch, she has pushed the mall-based retail chain to close to 600 locations worldwide. The company is doubling down on international store openings and innovative new stuffed animals. Despite the efforts, the company could see its profits clipped by the Trump administration’s tariffs. Build-a-Bear gets close to 50% of its costs of goods sold from China.

Tariffs, inflation and recession fears and slowing economic data have dominated investor attention in March. And all of these topics could dominate the minds of investors come April, too! Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi sits down on the Opening Bid podcast with IBM (IBM) vice chairman Gary Cohn. Cohn served as the director of the National Economic Council during the first Trump administration. The former top executive at Goldman Sachs is seen as a key bridge between the current Trump administration and Wall Street. Cohn hasn’t hidden his differing view on tariffs compared to Trump, believing tariffs are a form of tax that cause inflation. Cohn weighs in on the potential economic impact of reciprocal tariffs on Trump’s self proclaimed April 2 ‘Liberation Day’, and if the country is moving closer to a recession. Given his view on AI from his work for IBM, Cohn also shares perspective on the tech space as important stocks such as Nvidia (NVDA) trade under pressure.

Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang has had a month, as one would say. He provided more details on powerful new AI chips, such as Blackwell Ultra and Vera Rubin at its big annual GTC conference, chips that could help take civilization to a whole other level of productivity. At the same time, he moved to alter the narrative that DeepSeek's advances in AI equaled bad news for demand for Nvidia's chips. And to top it all off, he held a meeting with top quantum computing CEOs to make peace after sending the sector reeling earlier this year. Despite the flurry of headlines, Nvidia’s stock is still going in reverse. In fact, the stock has been lagging for the entire year. What gives? Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi talks with BofA semiconductor analyst Vivek Arya about what’s weighing on Nvidia’s super hot stock, and why. Arya attended GTC and shares his firsthand account on what he learned on the ground. Arya is also fresh off upgrading shares of ailing chip-maker Intel (INTC) amid the appointment of a new CEO in Lip-Bu Tan. Sozzi and Arya discuss that big call and the state of the semiconductor industry.

Much has been said about Chipotle (CMG) and Starbucks (SBUX) in restaurant circles over the past year. Chipotle finds itself with a new CEO in Scott Boatwright, who is looking to ramp store growth to a new level.

Nvidia had a little bit of everything for investors at its annual GTC event on Tuesday afternoon. For one, there was great theater such as CEO Jensen Huang donning his trademark black leather jacket while giving out t-shirts from a t-shirt blaster. There were also a lot of large numbers tossed around, especially a prediction of the AI infrastructure buildout reaching $1 trillion by 2028. The company even took the wraps off a host of more powerful chips to hit the market in the next few years in Blackwell Ultra and Rubin. Yet, Nvidia’s stock declined 2% by the close of trading despite what was a reaffirmation of the Nvidia growth story. So what gives here with the world’s most important stock? Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi sits down on the Opening Bid podcast with EMJ Capital founder Eric Jackson. Jackson shares his latest thinking on Nvidia and whether the bull run is poised to return…and when.

More than two months into the year, one thing is abundantly clear: the Trump administration is going to make things very interesting for investors the next four years. Team Trump has wasted no time slapping additional tariffs on China, and likely new ones soon on Canada and Mexico. Levies on the European Union could be next. The tariff barrage has consumers growing concerned about higher prices for goods and services. Markets are worried about the impact to Corporate America. This as geopolitical risk to stocks is elevated amid an uncertain conclusion to the Ukraine/Russia war. A government shutdown is a real possibility soon, too. Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi sits down on the Opening Bid podcast with one of the most prominent names in government, Republican Senator from Texas Ted Cruz. Cruz sits at the intersection of many of these issues. Texas is a major trader partner with Mexico and Canada. He has led one of the fastest growing states in the country in part because of big tech expansions. Cruz weighs in on the Trump administration’s policies and shares his economic outlook.

Markets are having a terrible year, there is no other way to hide it. Once hot tech stocks like Tesla (TSLA) have turned into laggards and investors have rotated into defensive names in the healthcare and consumer staples space. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi talks with Edward Jones CEO Penny Pennington. Pennington joined Edward Jones as a financial advisor in 2000 just before the tech stock meltdown, rising the ranks to lead the financial services giant in 2019. It’s a critical time to be a leader atop a giant wealth manager. For starters, the new Trump administration has injected major volatility into all sorts of markets around the world. Stocks in the US have cratered, especially momentum names such as Nvidia (NVDA) and Palantir (PLTR). At the same time, baby boomers are reaching retirement age each day. That brings with it a host of new challenges from planning for post-work investing to transferring wealth to offspring. Pennington shares her perspective on these huge drivers of the wealth management industry.

Tariffs stand to hammer the profits of many consumer products companies in 2025. Execs at these companies are actively moving production out of China and into other Asian regions to contain costs. But the hit to profits from tariffs will be felt no matter what for companies that already have slim profit margins. Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi chats with Newell Brands CEO Chris Peterson. Peterson has been hard at work since taking over as CEO in 2023 restructuring the consumer products giant, which makes everything from Rubbermaid food containers to Graco baby carriages. A lot of the work by Peterson is coming under the spotlight as president Trump aims to slap Mexico, Canada and China with tariffs. Newell Brands has been moving production back to the US from China. It has one of the largest US manufacturing footprints amongst its competitors. Still, tariffs are likely to weigh on the company’s profit margins as it continues to do a chunk of business in China and Mexico. This as the lower income consumer that buys a lot of its products are being more cautious in their spending after years of inflation.
