Episode Synopsis


International equity managers are in vogue again, so we visited with Portfolio Manager David Nadel about the case for international small- and mid-cap (SMID) stocks. In other news, we ponder how many burgers the One Big Beautiful Bill could buy. And we dive into Brian Levitt’s “pessimism aversion” and why he prefers to stay optimistic about the big trends that promise to impact the future. (Invesco Distributors, Inc.)
