    Did Nvidia kill quantum computing? Defiance ETF CEO weighs in

    What do a rollercoaster quantum market, hawkish Fed commentary, and a sizzling grilled ribeye have in common? They’re the focus of the latest Trader Talk episode, with host Kenny Polcari and guest Sylvia Jablonski diving into the latest on Wall Street. From navigating quantum hype to predicting rate cuts, Polcari cuts through the noise to help you keep your portfolio intact. In this episode, Polcari welcomes Sylvia Jablonski, CEO and CIO of Defiance ETF, who shares her expertise on the future of quantum investing. The two discuss the fallout from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s recent claim that quantum computing is “15 to 30 years away,” which sent quantum stocks tumbling. Jablonski, however, is more optimistic, pointing to real-world use cases already taking shape in sectors like risk management and drug discovery. “Quantum already exists in some form,” she asserts. “We’re not waiting decades for innovation—it’s here, just not the flawless version people imagine.” For those rattled by recent turbulence, Polcari doubles down on the importance of research. “Find the disruptors and do your homework,” he advises. “Big run-ups don’t guarantee sustainable stories—educate yourself and build positions methodically.” No Trader Talk episode is complete without a culinary touch, and this week, Polcari offers a recipe to soothe market-induced stress: grilled ribeye on a bed of fresh arugula and red onions, finished with shaved Grana Padano. Simple, flavorful, and perfectly paired with actionable market insights. Trader Talk with Kenny Polcari on Yahoo Finance delivers expert analysis and actionable insights.

    Buying stocks for Fed cuts? Think again

    What do a turbulent job market, surging bond yields, and a plate of Linguine Arrabiata all have in common? They’re front and center in the debut installment of Trader Talk, with host Kenny Polcari back on the New York Stock Exchange floor. As markets whipsaw on every snippet of Federal Reserve commentary, Polcari cuts through the noise, reminding viewers that “sometimes, good news is bad news”—especially if you’re banking on rate cuts alone. In this week’s episode, Polcari welcomes special guest Adam Johnson, a former hedge fund manager and Bloomberg anchor. They dig into the fallout from a stronger-than-expected jobs report, why towering bond yields could stir up fresh turbulence, and which sectors might brace best against a downturn. “I’m an investor, not a trader,” Johnson tells Polcari, “I always tell my clients ‘It’s about time in the market and not timing the market.’” For the hungry investors, Polcari stirs up more than just trading tips—his Linguine Arrabiata recipe brings some culinary spice to the day’s heated market action.
