Summary of the Stock Market and Earnings Webinar
The webinar begins with Phil discussing the disappointing GDP report. Although the data came in weak, it was widely expected, so the market's reaction was relatively muted (April 30). Most major indexes were down around 1%, except for the Dow, which was slightly supported by UnitedHealth’s strong performance.
Phil then walks through how he uses Google’s Notebook LM to analyze large volumes of earnings data pulled from briefing.com.
