#293: What Stocks to Watch in 2026

This week, Mike and Emmet take a step back to discuss the broader market landscape heading into 2026 and what industries they’re watching.2025 was a pretty spectacular year for the S&P so its normal to feel the party can’t go on forever. Mike reminds investors that corrections are a normal part of investing—and that the best preparation is owning businesses you’re willing to hold through a downturn, while keeping some cash on hand to take advantage of bargains if markets pull back.Emmet strikes a more optimistic note, arguing that the rally may have room to continue as corporate earnings have largely delivered so far.
