Last updated October 15, 2026

Fritz Meyer examines October 2026’s mixed signals: slower hiring alongside resilient spending and business activity. The illustrated DOCE® and corresponding 50-minute webinar replay cover labor markets, demographics, household wealth and debt, liquidity, productivity, earnings and valuations. Historical examples explain market volatility, reinvested dividends and chart scales. Treasury yields, inflation, Federal Reserve projections and federal funding pressures complete the analysis. Learn to distinguish observations, forecasts and the instructor’s interpretations when assessing economic evidence and explaining investment risk.
