Yahoo! Finance

What do you see across the three graphs? Both the negative and the positive impacts are getting smaller, right? So dividends, if they're a signal, are becoming a less valuable signal than they were 20 years ago, 10 years ago, 30 years ago.

Why do you think that is? Why are dividends a less valuable signal now than they used to be? Goes back to the point made earlier, yeah? Go to Yahoo Finance.

You can go look it up.

30 years ago, if I wanted to find out more about a company, I was digging through.

And...

Extra fancy, Taylor's work has been featured on a Times Square billboard in AP News, Yahoo Finance, and national media outlets across the US.

Taylor, that's an impressive resume.

Thank you so much for joining me on the AI Queens podcast.

She's also the founder of Your Wealth Network, Meetup Group, and the Women's Wealth Network in the San Francisco Bay Area.

She has been seen on Fox, CBS, NBC, and Yahoo Finance.

She's an extraordinary American, and I'm glad and honored to have her on the show.

Ginger, thank you so much for taking the time to be here.

Also got to shout out Meta too as well, well off its highs.

I encourage you to go to Yahoo Finance, go to Yahoo Finance Alpha Space, pull up a chart on Meta, and you can see the horrible run that stock has been on after they reported earnings, in part because free cash flow.

went negative.

Nobody likes free cashflow right now, especially when it comes to big tech.

Well, not anymore.

It went negative, and the street doesn't like to see it.

But a couple of the reasons why the stock is getting slammed, you can head to Yahoo Finance right now.

You can check it out.

Did you have a chance to question the Fed share today? And have you thought about the impact you potentially could have in there, asking a question that could potentially move the markets? Was there any big moment at that news conference today?

Well, it wasn't for lack of raising my hand or my colleague from Yahoo Finance who is sitting next to me, but I did not get called on.

It's an interesting situation behind the scenes, Frank, in the sense of there are a lot of things going on that are not immediately visible to people who are listening or just casually interested or highly interested.

For one, at the previous meeting in September, all the outlets were listed in alphabetical order.

And so they went in direct alphabetical order last time.

Today, they reversed it.

And so being a W, I got to the first row along with my colleague from Yahoo Finance, Washington Post, Washington Sun, a couple of Asian newspaper outlets.

But being on the front row didn't entitle us to get a question in.

So even as October fades away, the bullish timeline of this time of the year being more bullish narrative continues.

Yahoo Finance reminds us of that with this morning's headline.

The stock market's best six months of the year start Monday.

The stock market's favorite season starts Monday with a mid-term year record that hasn't lost since the 1940s.

So when you go in and are going to trade, let's say you're 10 shares of a stock and you push that button, That has to get filled before an institution needs to dump its 10,000 shares of something, right? Also, an institution is tasked with having best price and execution.

When you push your button, you say a market order is just filling whatever the price is at that particular moment, okay? But what this would be is that The major shareholders, when they vote, okay? So if you go to – I use Yahoo Finances because I grew up with it.

I know how to navigate into it, and that's kind of irritating.

But if you go and look at the major stockholders of a particular stock – Those are the people that are kind of controlling the narrative on the board of directors, right? Now, because if you own shares of stock, you are receiving the voting, right? Hey, vote on – these are what the board of directors wants.

But yeah, so according to new research from Goldman Sachs, retail investor trading activity has fallen off a cliff this year.

Yahoo Finance reports that everyday investors are increasingly moving away from traditional stock trading and toward things like prediction markets and leverage.

Our favorite, Bob, leverage DTFs.

What can go wrong? This is, you know, moving away from traditional stock trading, what that tells me is that we're bored with it.

Save that PNG to my desktop.

So it installs Yahoo Finance, finds the market cap data for Apple and Microsoft here, plots the data.
