BlackRock's Chaudhuri: Expect a broader, more-volatile market and buy quality

Gargi Chaudhuri, Chief Investment and Portfolio Strategist, Americas, at BlackRock, says that while she foresees a slowdown in the economy but nothing that will rise to the level of a recession. Still, as the Federal Reserve enters a rate-cutting phase during the fall — a historically volatile time for the market — she expects that investors will see heightened market movement, and that they will need to be patient to ride out the bumps confidently. Chaudhuri expects the market to broaden out, and says  "keep high quality, add some defense and look for continuing gains over a longer period of time." Another way to answer Chaudhuri's call for caution would be with a low-volatility fund, and Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi , makes one his ETF of the Week. Chuck revisits his July decision to not get pet insurance in the wake of the injury his puppy Maho suffered in early August and the significant vet bills he has paid since. Plus Ivana Delevska, founder of SPEAR Invest — which runs the Spear Alpha ETF — talks about finding value in the industiral supply chain in the Market Call.
