Staying Confident in a Headline-Driven Market with Howard Yaruss

Staying Confident in a Headline-Driven Market with Howard Yaruss
Markets were in decent shape early in 2026 — until headline risk came roaring back. In this episode of The Lebenthal Report, Michael Hartzman and Dominick Tavella break down the sudden selloff tied to escalating geopolitical uncertainty, including the latest Greenland/NATO tensions and renewed tariff concerns. The big question for investors: is this a real economic deterioration — or market panic driven by unpredictable headlines? Then we’re joined by returning guest Howard Yaruss, economist, NYU professor, and author of Understandable Economics, to discuss what’s really happening beneath the surface: the rising cost of U.S. debt, why foreign demand for Treasuries may be weakening, why gold is surging, and what “black swan” risks investors should actually worry about. 📘 Howard Yaruss’ book: Understandable Economics 🌐 More info: howardyaruss.com Lebenthal Global Advisors, LLC is a registered investment advisor.

Encore: In Defense of Millennials
In this encore episode The Lebenthal Report, Author and Bloomberg News reporter Charlie Wells joined us to discuss his book What Happened to Millennials: In Defense of a Generation. Drawing from hundreds of hours of interviews with five Millennials from wildly different backgrounds — alongside hard data and economic context — Wells explains what really happened to this cohort’s finances, careers, and lives. We dug into why Millennials were labeled “lazy” and “entitled” when the macro backdrop was anything but, how repeated shocks shaped their risk tolerance, spending, and investing habits, and why they’re about to move from being the market’s punching bag to its decision-makers. And yes, we talked about the big stuff: what Millennial leadership could mean for markets, housing, retirement policy, and voting blocs — plus whether the generation that survived three “once-in-a-lifetime” crises is actually the most battle-tested set of future CEOs and policymakers we’ve got. If you’ve ever wondered whether Millennials are unlucky, misunderstood, or quietly reshaping the economy while everyone’s distracted by culture wars… this one’s for you.

Encore: Small Business Mood Check for 2026
In this encore episode, markets head into Thanksgiving with a bit more chop—even after a strong year—especially in last year’s standout winners like tech, AI-linked names, and Bitcoin plays. Michael Hartzman and Dominic Tavella unpack what’s driving the pullback, why healthcare has quietly led November, and how a healthy valuation reset can help set the stage for the next leg higher. Then we’re joined by returning guest Jeff Oak, a Vistage Chair, for a real-time read on small and mid-size business sentiment heading into 2026. Jeff explains why CEO confidence has rebounded from the spring tariff shock but remains stuck in neutral, what “profitless prosperity” looks like on Main Street, and why protecting margins matters more than ever. The group also digs into rising AI adoption among smaller companies, holiday-season expectations, employee engagement, and the challenge—and opportunity—of leading a workforce spanning five generations.
