Earnings, Not Euphoria: Scott Ladner Breaks Down Today’s Market

On this episode of The Money Path, host ⁠Todd M. Schoenberger⁠ is joined by Scott Ladner, Chief Investment Officer of ⁠Horizon Investments⁠, for a timely discussion on market leadership, economic growth, and where opportunity may lie beyond today’s all-time highs. Scott explains why the S&P 500’s strength is being driven by fundamentals and earnings—not multiple expansion, and why investors should align market exposure with their own risk tolerance and long-term goals. The conversation explores the Federal Reserve’s role heading into 2026, including why the market may already be priced for limited easing and how political interference could pose risks to rates and currency stability. They also examine the growing debate around rotation away from the MAG7, the impact of fiscal policy and nominal GDP growth, and why cyclical sectors could benefit as AI shifts from capability-building to economy-wide diffusion. Scott shares insights into Horizon Investments’ ETF strategy, upcoming thematic products, and how investors should think about positioning as leadership broadens across the market. 👉 Don’t forget to 📢 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Like⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 👍 | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Comment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 💬 | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🔔 for more in-depth market analysis! 🔗 Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://crosscheckmanagement.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠...⁠ 📧 Contact on Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📢 Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this episode are those of the guests and hosts and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of CrossCheck Media or Biz Talk Today TV.
