Markets in Year Four: Hearing the Rhyme, Not the Repeat — Earnings Season, January Effect & Market History

In this episode, we explore what history suggests about year-four market performance, how past multi-year rallies have typically unfolded, and why historical context still matters—even when the future never looks exactly the same. We also examine Wall Street’s modest return expectations for 2026, revisit seasonal market myths like “as January goes, so goes the year,” and discuss what early earnings reports may be signaling about market breadth and leadership. Plus, we lighten things up with the team’s New Year’s resolutions (or lack thereof) and take a reality check on why most resolutions fail—and when “Quitters Day” usually arrives. Join Keith Gangl, Kyle Bergacker, and Lisa Schreiber for thoughtful market insights, perspective and a little fun along the way.
