Giving Thanks
We hope our NewEdge Wealth clients and readers are having a wonderful Thanksgiving week. Whether you’re reading this in advance of the big day or after, as your body digests the feast, we offer this edition of the Weekly Edge for your consumption. In it, you’ll find a collection of charts showing some of the macro trends for which we are most thankful this year.
Emotional Haircut
With Thanksgiving next week, it is incredible that the 2025 holiday season is already upon us (time flies when you live in interesting times).
Don’t Escape from New York
New York City’s Mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani, has generated lively debate among investors regarding their municipal bond holdings and the financial future of New York City.
Tremors
As we enter the final few weeks of 2025, investors have ridden a wave of optimism propelled by economic resilience and rising corporate profits. As we wrote last week, however, this bull market is beginning to look brittle. Assets tied to unprofitable entities, many of which have rallied powerfully in recent months, are off their highs and overall market volatility is up.
Wealth Strategy
A successful wealth strategy process benefits from a team of advisors, collectively focused on the goals specific to your family. Below are some of the insights and strategies the team at NewEdge has published on what it means to have a wealth strategy, rather than a simple financial plan.

Quarterly Outlook: The Space Between
Being in the space between should feel somewhat familiar to investors, as we experienced a space between back in 2022. Uncertainty and market volatility was pronounced that year, as investors debated how a rapid rise in Fed interest rates and the associated weakening in sentiment/soft data would weigh on real economic activity. Forecasters slashed estimates for U.S. GDP and S&P 500 EPS growth, broadly expecting a recession to be the end result of that space between, while equities experienced a bear market in anticipation of this weaker growth.
