Joining us today on Talking Markets for the first time is Bob Elliott, CIO of Unlimited Funds and PM of $HFGM & $HFND. Bob thinks the second half of 2025 is going to be a "season of disappointment" due to a combination of high expectations, softening growth, and a Fed on hold. We'll be discussing how he's playing it, what would change his mind, and his thoughts on the coming year.
