• Earnings Reports 101: What They Are, Why They Matter, and What CEOs Are Saying This Quarter with Tim Seymour

  Every quarter, public companies drop their earnings reports—a financial report card that can make or break stock prices in an instant. But unless you speak fluent Wall Street, these reports can feel like they’re written in another language. Today, we’re translating. Nicole breaks down what an earnings report actually is, why it matters, and how to read between the lines of those buttoned-up earnings calls. And to help make sense of what this earnings season is revealing about the economy at large, Nicole calls in Tim Seymour—investor, founder of Seymour Asset Management, and CNBC’s Fast Money regular. They unpack the top takeaways from this quarter’s biggest earnings, what stories are flying under the radar, and where the smart money is moving right now. Plus, Tim shares which stocks he’s bullish and bearish on. Follow Tim's work here. Find Tim's investing disclosures here. All investing involves the risk of loss, including loss of principal.

• 6 Months After the LA Fires: What Nicole Wishes She Knew Before Her House Burned Down

  Six months ago, Nicole Lapin lost her home in the LA fires. Today, she opens up about what the last six months have really looked like: the emotional toll, the bureaucratic maze of FEMA and SBA, the painful process of replacing IDs and legal documents, and the financial strain of waiting on insurance.
