Ep. 171 - Figma Frenzy

On Episode 171 of The Investor Professor Podcast, Cameron joins to break down the latest market action, including a jobs report that rattled investors, mid-earnings season highlights, and updates from the "Magnificent Seven" stocks. We discuss key sector performance trends, Fed policy, tariffs, and why volatility has dominated the summer. Plus, we cover strategies to navigate August and September—historically the weakest months for markets—while highlighting opportunities in tech, industrials, and select IPOs.

We also dive into earnings from Microsoft, Meta, Palantir, and ServiceNow, discuss the $10B Palantir Army contract, and analyze Figma’s explosive IPO. From rate cuts to tariffs, AI buildouts, and sector rotations, this episode is packed with timely insights for investors navigating choppy waters. As always, we emphasize staying focused, understanding market cycles, and finding value in times of uncertainty.
