Record earnings, struggling consumers: Ross Gerber on the bull market at 4

Gerber Kawasaki's Ross Gerber guest-hosts Market Hang on October 12, 2026, the bull market's fourth anniversary, with Yahoo Finance's Pras Subramanian and guests Sarah [SURNAME] and Kevin [SURNAME]. The panel debates whether record Big Tech earnings can keep the rally going while small businesses and consumers feel the squeeze from higher rates and energy costs, what bank earnings could reveal this week, and whether AI is the next industrial revolution or a repeat of the dot-com cycle. Plus AI valuations, consumer cybersecurity and scams, BlackBerry's QNX, why high gas prices are lifting EV demand, copper and the power grid, and what Skydance's debt and AI mean for Hollywood.
