Going uncovered in the run-up to the presidential election is the view each candidate has on the hard-charging world of artificial intelligence. The next president will have a major task on their hands with respect to governing the technology and ensuring it doesn’t put US society at risk. On the one hand we have former President Donald Trump, who acknowledges that AI is scary but is seen as more friendlier on the AI regulatory front. As for President Joe Biden, Silicon Valley insiders are fretting that Biden will crack down on AI so much that it impedes the development of startups. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi chats with Sizzle AI founder Jerome Pesenti. Pesenti is also the former VP of Meta’s AI business for almost five years. The duo discuss Pesenti’s many years breaking ground in the AI space, what Meta is (and isn’t doing) doing on the AI front and how his new firm is looking to upend the education experience. Pesenti is optimistic on the potential for AI in society, but stops short of saying there won’t be downside risks.Yahoo Finance's Opening Bid, brings you a high-octane take on the freshest analyst calls, wildest stock moves and shrewdest commentary in the business world.

Former President Trump was fired up as usual as he addressed the Republican National Convention. From shouting out his famous friends at the event such as Hulk Hogan and Dana White to hinting at the return of trade wars, Trump gave a lot for investors to think about.

Not many details are known about what the economic agenda of a second Trump presidency would look like relative to his first go around. Trump has promised lower taxes on corporations and households. He plans to deport illegal immigrants, which could have an economic impact. And he believes ramping up drilling of energy in the United States will help ease the inflationary burden being felt by many consumers. But those are broad strokes, and investors and business leaders are on the hunt for the finer details. After all, those finer details will prove important to both parties if Trump wins re-election. So we went to a long-time Trump insider to take the veil off a Trump 2.0 economic agenda. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sits down with well-known economist and author Stephen Moore. Moore is a senior visiting fellow in economics at The Heritage Foundation. He is a long-time economic advisor to former President Trump and the author of the book: Trumponomics: Inside the America First Plan to Revive our Economy.

The United States has been rocked amid an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania campaign rally. Trump narrowly missed more severe injury thanks to his own swift action and efforts by the Secret Service. The President and his supporters will now turn their attention to the Republican National Convention and then the ultimate prize, winning the White House for four more years come November. Indeed the eye-opening turn of events in the presidential election race have direct implications for investors who up until now, have largely been ignoring the political rhetoric and pushing stocks to fresh highs. However if Trump – who had been leading President Joe Biden in most polls – receives a boost in popularity, talk of a Republican sweep in November will take center stage up and down Wall Street. How would a Republican sweep impact the markets and the economy? Is talk like this too premature and Biden could surprise investors with a win? And in doing so, push through an agenda of higher taxes for the wealthy among other items? Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi orchestrates an engaging roundtable on the new path forward for investors in the wake of this stunning moment in American history. He is joined by Brian Gardner, Chief Washington Policy Strategist at Stifel, Terry Gardner, C.J. Lawrence Partner & Portfolio Strategist, and Yahoo Finance Washington Correspondent Ben Werschul.Find this episode's transcripts and more episodes of Opening Bid at https://finance.yahoo.com/videos/series/opening-bid/.Thoughts?

Is Nvidia (NVDA) the best place to stay in terms of AI? Or does one warm back up to Apple (AAPL) ahead of the debut of its Apple Intelligence suite? Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi goes on the search for the next hot tech stock trade with EMJ Capital founder Eric Jackson.Two things in markets have held true in 2024. One, the stock market opens and closes at the same times each day. And two, investors large and small love the AI trade! What’s not to like about tech companies that are at the leading edge of this exciting technology. Companies such as Nvidia are unable to keep pace with demand for their products, driving higher prices and profits. Even a legacy player like Intel is getting in big into all things AI.

Fed Watch Advisors Founder and Chief Investment Officer Ben Emons joins Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Editor Brian Sozzi and the pair dive into the potential for massive interest rate cuts, if stocks are silly overvalued and if Trump would make the market even greater again.The stock market is pumped up on a view that the Federal Reserve will make it rain free money once more. Many pros think a cooling US economy and waning inflation set the stage for a barrage of interest rate cuts starting in the fall. And with those lower interest rates, a land of even higher stock prices for top names such as Apple and Nvidia are unlocked. But is that just wishful thinking? Should investors think through this one more rationally? Meantime, former President Donald Trump is leading in the polls versus sitting President Joe Biden. That has begun to reignite what is known as the “Trump Trade” on Wall Street. It also has people calling out danger ahead for the economy.Yahoo Finance's Opening Bid, brings you a high-octane take on the freshest analyst calls, wildest stock moves and shrewdest commentary in the business world.

Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Editor Brian Sozzi goes inside the future of the plant-based food industry with Impossible Foods CEO Peter McGuinness. McGuinness shares potential outcomes for his business, and why he is backing hot dog eating legend Joey Chestnut.The plant-based food industry burst onto the scene more than a decade ago thanks to a battle between then new upstarts Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods. Each company raced to secure deals with fast-food giants such as McDonald’s and Burger King. Beyond Meat had a glitzy IPO, while Impossible Foods continued to raise large sums of money at impressive valuations. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and consumers began to rethink their commitment to meat alternatives. Consumers questioned the healthiness of the ingredients in the products. At the same time, the products continued to be higher priced relative to traditional forms of meat. Against the backdrop of prolonged inflation, consumers have shunned these more expensive products. Beyond Meat’s stock has crashed, and Impossible Foods hasn’t ruled out a sale to a larger food company. So what’s the end game here?Yahoo Finance's Opening Bid, brings you a high-octane take on the freshest analyst calls, wildest stock moves and shrewdest commentary in the business world.
