📊 Wednesday Newsletter Snippet: Wednesday is the week's double-header

Wednesday packs the two events Monday's post asked about into one day, and both land after this post goes live.
🏦 First, the Fed: 2pm ET, with Chair Kevin Warsh's press conference at 2:30pm ET. The expectation is a hold at 3.75%–4.00%, the range set by September's quarter-point hike. The market read, per a Reuters poll of 100 economists (94 expecting a hold) and Kalshi pricing on Oct 26 (hold ~92%), is that October is a skip, not a pivot. All 100 economists in that poll still expect a hike in December. So watch the statement language and the December signal more than the rate itself.

💻 Then, after the close, Alphabet and Microsoft report. Consensus is roughly: Microsoft ~$90.6B revenue, EPS ~$4.71, with Azure growth guided near 45% in constant currency; Alphabet ~$128B revenue, EPS ~$2.94–$3.03, with Google Cloud the focus. The question tying both reports together — and to last Thursday's Nasdaq selloff — is the same one from last week: is cloud growth keeping pace with the hundreds of billions going into AI infrastructure, and what do they guide for capex next?

Why it matters for your money: this is the week the AI trade has to show receipts. A hold with a firm December signal plus strong cloud numbers would calm two worries at once. A hawkish surprise or soft cloud guidance would revive both.

👉 Which Wednesday event are you watching closer: the Fed at 2pm, or Alphabet/Microsoft after the bell? Drop it below.

🧯 Myth vs. Fact: "Renting is throwing money away."
MYTH ❌: Every rent payment is money down the drain; buying a home is always the smarter financial move.

FACT ✅: Rent buys you housing, flexibility, and predictable costs, and the math isn't automatic. When you buy, your mortgage payment isn't the only cost: property taxes, insurance, maintenance (figure ~1–2% of the home's value per year), HOA dues, and closing costs all add up. For the first several years of a mortgage, most of your payment goes to interest, not equity, so "building equity" happens slower than people think.

The real question isn't rent vs. buy, it's total cost vs. total benefit for your life right now. Buying can win long-term, especially with a fixed payment in an appreciating market. But renting is a legitimate strategy, not a failure.

👇 Question for the comments: renters and owners — what's been the biggest surprise cost (or savings) you didn't see coming?

📊 Monday Market Recap: last week, this week
The week that was — stocks climbed a wall of worry and finished higher across the board:
• S&P 500: +1.2% on the week, closing at 7,811 — near record highs
• Dow: +0.9% (up 423 points on Friday alone)
• Nasdaq: +0.6% — its 4th straight weekly gain
• Small caps lagged: the Russell 2000 slipped ~0.9%
What drove it:
• Bond yields touched 24-year highs mid-week, then buyers stepped back in — Thursday's Treasury auction came in strong
• Oil spiked on Middle East tensions, then cooled after Friday headlines cooled with it
• Consumer sentiment (Michigan survey) fell for a third straight month — worth watching, though spending has held up so far
• SpaceX's spectrum deal shook up telecom stocks Friday (tower operators up, carriers down)
The week ahead:
• 🏦 Big bank earnings kick off — JPMorgan Tuesday, Bank of America & Morgan Stanley Wednesday
• 📉 September CPI drops Wednesday morning — the key inflation read ahead of the Fed's Oct 28 decision
• 🗓️ Note: Monday is Columbus Day — stock markets are open, bond markets are closed
The takeaway: markets keep pushing higher despite high yields, oil prices, and soft sentiment. This week's data — CPI and bank earnings — will test whether the worry is justified.
👉 What's your biggest question heading into earnings season? Drop it below — I'll cover the most-asked ones this week.

💡 Saturday Money Tip: Pay yourself first.

Set up an automatic transfer — 10% of each paycheck is a great target — into savings or your investment account the day you get paid. What you never see, you never miss. Automation beats willpower every time.

📊 The September jobs report just took an October rate hike off the table.

Employers added just 29,000 jobs, less than a third of what economists expected (~90,000). Unemployment held at 4.2%, and the prior two months were revised down by 60,000 combined.
Markets heard it loud and clear: odds of a Fed hike in October fell from ~64% to ~22% in a week.

Why it matters for you: a cooling job market takes pressure off the Fed — but with inflation still above target, December is very much in play. Watching the labor market is watching the rate cycle.

Does a softer jobs number make you more or less confident about the economy into year-end?

Stocks hit new highs as cooling economic indicators point to fewer interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve.
