QuickTakes is my go-to for level-headed, fact-based market analysis. Ed cuts through the noise, presenting timely updates with charts that make complex information simple and actionable.

Robert K.

I've been following Dr. Ed my whole career from way back in the Prudential Bache days. QuickTakes is the most practical thing he's ever created for retail investors. Thanks, Ed, for making my job easier along the way.

Thomas L.

I get more from your newsletter than from any other source. You are doing a great job and I really enjoy reading it.

Emily H.

QuickTakes is a breath of fresh air. Love the prose style too; a refreshing lack of hyperbole and cliche. It is a service for grownups.

David S.

Finally. Someone who explains what's happening without treating me like I need a PhD in economics.

Sarah T.

I feel like I can time the market better than before buying your service. It helped me overcome an issue of being too early on my calls or being right about a particular stock but with bad timing.

Jessica R.

Your commentary, coverage, and charts have made our jobs of advising and managing client portfolios easier. You clearly exceeded my already high expectations.

Michael J.

Ed Yardeni connects the dots beautifully, offering real insight without sensationalism. A must-read for anyone serious about the markets.

Mark W.

This is steadying information in a financial media world of noise. The publication clarifies what's happening and likely to happen based on data.

Nathan T.

Thank you Dr. Yardeni and team for your ongoing outlooks. Followed your work since your time with Prudential. Articles are the first to be opened on daily basis.

Lisa M.

I can't find anywhere else someone analyzing the economic indicators without trying to make a headline.

Chris P.

So much financial news is overly dramatic and doomsaying. It's very helpful to have a more objective perspective based on data.

Elizabeth K.

Dr. Yardeni's no-nonsense, data-driven analysis has saved me from many an emotional move in the market. There is no other source that is as precise and consistent.

Paul R.

Ed seems like the kind of guy who has seen it all and doesn't need to pound his chest or voice extreme opinions just to get attention. He is level-headed and not prone to exaggeration.

James D.

Very timely and offers a level-headed angle on the economy. I've seen too many strategists lose it over the last year. I think Ed is 'crushing it.'

Alexander W.

I love the bite-sized format. QuickTakes is perfect for getting a clear snapshot of market trends and economic indicators without any fluff. The predictions are insightful and have proven incredibly accurate for me.

Richard B.

The QuickTakes are always short, relevant, to the point. It is almost as if Dr. Ed and I have a relationship and he knows what I need to hear and when I need to hear it.

Karen D.

Especially like the web chats and the short but accurate predictions and summaries. His friendly personality comes through in everything he produces as well.

Andrew N.

New member, just want to say the content is awesome. Love it all. Just the right amount of depth. Not surface level. Not overwhelming reams of data. Thank you.

GLOBAL MARKETS CALL: French Toast & Brazilian Bossa Nova

Oct 10, 2026 4 min read

I. Bonds The global bond market remains jittery, though yields may be starting to stabilize after their rout in recent months (chart). Nevertheless, geopolitical turbulence may still buffet them. Yields have risen for an assortment of reasons, from better-than-expected economic growth (US) to fiscal instability concerns (France). Brazil and China are the only major countries showing declines in bond yields so far this year (chart). Bond yields have

US MARKETS CALL: Is The 10-Year Bond Yield Back To The Old Normal?

I. Bonds The Economist just rang the all-clear siren for the bond market (chart). It is safe to buy bonds now that the front cover of the October 10 magazine is titled "Will bonds blow up?" This and other national magazines’ cover stories often have been great contrary indicators. It’s the “front-page curse” (once magazines put in the time it takes them to produce a

Lots Of FEMO In Q3's Earnings Reporting Season

Oct 8, 2026 4 min read paid

I. FEMO in Q3 We have spent much of the past few months marveling at Corporate America's Fabulous Earnings Momentum (FEMO). S&P 500 earnings per share growth approached 30% y/y in Q1 and accelerated to more than 50% in Q2, although unusually large mark-to-market investment gains boosted both figures. Even excluding those gains, earnings grew roughly 20% and 25%, respectively. Q2 also marked

The Bond Yield Spectrum

Oct 7, 2026 5 min read paid

I. From The Good To The Bad To The Ugly The spectrum of explanations for the rise in bond yields worldwide includes relatively benign ones to downright dangerous ones (chart). On the good side of the spectrum, better-than-expected economic growth has driven US bond yields up to levels that are back to normal. On the ugly side, soaring bond yields in France are signaling a looming debt crisis.

WEEKLY WEBCAST: Bond Yields On The Spectrum: From Good To Ugly (with special guest Nick Raich)

Oct 7, 2026 1 min read paid

Is the bond selloff the Revenge of the Bond Vigilantes, i.e., a looming debt crisis? Not yet. Despite the recent surge, the 10-year Treasury yield remains below the growth rate of nominal GDP. That points toward an upward repricing of the neutral interest rate. Ed and Elias examine the spectrum of forces behind higher yields, from rising R* to a potential debt-crisis scenario. The real warning sign

2028 Should Be A Good Year

Oct 6, 2026 4 min read paid

I. Blue skies ahead for earnings? We are now seven years into our Roaring 2020s thesis, which remains our base case for the rest of the decade, and it has played out very well so far. When we first introduced the idea in August 2020, the prospect of another Roaring '20s sounded a bit delusional. We argued that, as in the 1920s, rapidly proliferating technologies would drive a productivity

In Praise Of Profits

Oct 5, 2026 5 min read paid

I. Profits, Cash Flow & Capital Spending Corporate profits are the economy's lifeblood. As Dr. Ed explains in his 2021 book, In Praise of Profits, profits are not merely a reward for economic success; they also drive the economy. Strong profits give businesses both the incentive and the financial means to expand, generating the cash flow needed to invest in capital, hire workers, and pursue new opportunities. At

GLOBAL MARKET CALL: Bond Vigilantes Gone Wild

Oct 4, 2026 5 min read paid

The Bond Vigilantes have gone wild worldwide, pushing government bond yields higher in developed and emerging markets alike. A month ago, we asked whether rising yields reflected stronger growth, higher inflation, or looming fiscal crises. We still think the answer is mostly growth. The exception is where government finances are weakest. There, bond investors are charging a fiscal-risk premium. France may be on the verge of a full-blown

ECONOMIC WEEK AHEAD: October 5-9

Oct 4, 2026 4 min read

Most of last week's economic indicator reports were strong: Initial jobless claims fell to near a 57-year low, ADP private payrolls rose 90,000 in September, and the ISM M-PMI was in expansion for a ninth straight month. Friday's employment report was the exception. Nonfarm payrolls rose just 29,000 in September, well below expectations, while July and August were revised down by a

US MARKET CALL: Stocks Ignoring Bonds, For Now

Oct 3, 2026 5 min read

The 10-year US Treasury bond yield has climbed above 5.25%, and the S&P 500 hasn’t flinched. The stock index is just 2.2% below our year-end target of 7,900. It could overshoot our target in the coming days now that crude oil shipments from the Persian Gulf producers reportedly are averaging around 98% of pre-war totals, excluding Iran. Producers and shippers have

Thanks For The Memories

Oct 1, 2026 4 min read paid

I. Micron and the AI Trade Memory has become one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI spending boom. Micron’s stock, for example, is up 273.2% ytd, second only to SanDisk among the semiconductor companies. We have been bullish on memory, and Micron’s fiscal Q4-2026 results reinforced our view. Revenue surged 379% y/y to a record $54.2 billion, above the $50.8 billion consensus.
