17:00This week, we're asking the question: "Is the Fed dazed and confused?" The Federal Reserve is scheduled to announce its latest interest rate decision this week. On the surface, this seems like a boring meeting. Almost everyone believes the central bank will leave rates alone. But where is the Fed going to go next? Opinions are starting to split. Longer term, it seems likely that the Fed will eventually resume its rate-hiking campaign. But there are growing whispers that the next move might have to be a rate cut. We'll take a deep dive into what the markets are looking for from the Fed and what the current economic outlook tells us. We'll also take a look at some of the earnings reports due out this week, including package delivery giant FedEx And as always, we'll park our Chevelles in front of some of Wall Street's more unheralded parties... We've got some good news about incomes in the U.S. Well, good news if you didn't have to live through the last 17 years. We've got Facebook claiming a wider U.S. reach than the U.S. has people. We've got a retailer experimenting with having no inventory. And we've got a few legal questions that need answering...One involves whether monkeys can hold a copyright. Another involves the constitutional right to wear a bikini to work. And a third tells you how NOT to deliver marijuana in California. Hint: don't use a drone.…

17:00This week, we've got the big fight on our minds. Not Mayweather vs. McGregor. We've got job growth vs. the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy. The government is set to release its monthly jobs data this week. Employment growth has been strong throughout most of the year so far. We take a deep dive into the recent data, letting you know what's going on below the surface and how it stacks up historically. We also take a look at how the jobs data could impact the Federal Reserve's thinking. Earlier this year, it looked like the rate-hike train was well out of the station and picking up stream. In recent weeks, though, there's been a growing sense that the Fed needs to scale back. There's even been whispers that the next move should be a rate cut. And as always, we brawl with some of Wall Street's more obscure middleweights... We've got a review of the feud involving everyone's new cabinet WAG.

First, entertainment: last week saw the release Disney's quarterly report. But the bigger news is the company's move away from Netflix. We take a look at the decision and at the state of Disney's business. On to sexism: last week saw another in a long line of troubling revelations about the state of gender relations in Silicon Valley. This time, the epicenter of the turmoil was in the capital of the new economy - Google. We recount what happened and look at how it fits into the larger narrative about Silicon Valley. Finally, to shopping: this week will see the release of a number of key earnings reports from the retailing sector. Wal-Mart will lead the charge. There's also reports due out from Target and from Home Depot. Meanwhile, we're poised to get the latest retail sales numbers from the government. And as always, we strut our stuff on some of Wall Street's more secluded corners.... We've got the first-ever acquisition by Netflix. We've got a price drop for Tesla's SUV.

13:00Valentine's Day is on the way. And just in time for the big day, we got the release of the sequel to 50 Shades of Grey. With that in mind, we're hoping that Wall Street isn't in for some tough love this week. There's a lot of economic news set to come out. Also, a number of big companies still have to release their quarterly results. On the economic front, retail sales data will lead the way. We'll let you konw what to expect from the latest from those statistics. We'll also check in with an iconic retailer that continues to suffer in new environment. We've also got Tom Brady's missing jersey. We've got Donald Trump getting between Steph Curry and his most prominent endorser. We've got a Cheeto priced at nearly $100,000. And we've got another game that robots are officially better than people at playing: poker.…

13:00Two reasons we think Wall Street is like The Lion King this week: 1) America is still getting used to a new leader of its pride, and 2) Disney is going to be one of the main draws for the next round of earnings reports. We leave the Scar/Trump comparisons to you, but we look at Disney's earnings in some detail in this week's episode. We also give another long view on the Fed following last week's (predictably boring) interest rate meeting. We also dive into the (decidedly not boring) jobs report that came out on Friday. Finally, as always, we'll roam some of the less traveled savannas on the Wall Street Pridelands. We've got corporate espionage involving self-driving cars. We've got a Shark Tank product that doesn't work as well as its company said. And we've got a Starbucks product that's working too well, leading to long lines and sluggish earnings.…

13:00This week, we should be talking about the Federal Reserve. After all, policy makers are meeting to make their next interest rate decision. Except this time around, there's little doubt about what the Fed is going to do. Rates are widely expected to hold steady. But we talk about the Fed anyway, looking ahead beyond this meeting to what might be in store later in the year. This week's Fed meeting might be a sure thing, but that's not the case with the jobs report due out on Friday. We review the state of the labor market. And as always, we'll hitch a ride with some of the stranger drivers on Wall Street's highway. We've got Lyft expanding, Uber apologizing and sea lice affecting the price of salmon. We've also got cows eating skittles and one big-name company looking to make the Super Bowl a national holiday.…

15:00This episode, we're turning our attention to Hollywood! Oscar nominations are set to come out on Tuesday. We take a look at who the front runners are for the major categories. We've got a busy week on Wall Street as well. Earnings season is getting into high gear. Microsoft and AT&T lead a crowded field of earnings reports. We preview their results and take a look at who else is on tap. We've also got flying cars, robot deliveries and lawsuits involving SpongeBob. Meanwhile, the Greatest Show On Earth is shutting down after almost a century and a half in business.…

16:00It's going to be a good week for civics lessons. We start off with a holiday for Martin Luther King day. And end up with the inauguration of a new president. In this episode, we take a look at what Wall Street is expecting from the new administration. We also contemplate the possible complications that might come up with a president who is both pro-business and anti-trade. We also look at some recent big-name earnings reports, and preview some possible headline-grabbers due out this week. And as always, we'll puruse some of the less-cited articles of Wall Street's constitution.... We've got delayed tax refunds, accidental Nazi footprints and new pieces for Monopoly. Apple is apparently jealous of Amazon and Cadillac might be jealous of Apple. And we've got the perfect job for soon-to-be-former president Barack Obama.…

14:00Christmas is over, but we've still got shopping on the brain. Last week, we got more evidence that the industry continues to change. Two of the biggest names in retailing announced some tough news. Sears and Macy's both revealed that they were closing stores and cutting jobs. Meanwhile, this week will see the release of the latest monthly stats on retail sales. The report will reveal how the holiday season turned out. We'll preview the report and take a look at the state of the industry right now. And as always, we browse through some of the more out-of-the-way racks on Wall Street. We've got trips to black holes, brave social experients and a sports team who is really very sorry that they sucked so much last year. And we tell you about a pillow maker that got in trouble because its pillows are really half as expensive as you think they are.…

12:00The new year is here and we're going to keep the party going for at least another week. The government is scheduled to release its monthly jobs report this week. We take a look at what to expect. We also go in depth into one of the mysteries of the last several years: how come the unemployment rate keeps falling even though job growth has been decidedly ho-hum? And as always, we'll boogie our way through some of the more out-of-the-way discos on Wall Street. This week, we've got stories about how Amazon is turning the world into Blade Runner. We've got robots who might sit with you and help you sort your magazines. And we've got communist bureaucrats who can't afford yachts like we were expecting them to.…
