Video Transcript
BRIAN SOZZI: --get to Yahoo Finance's Brian Cheung, who has a look back at some of his favorite moments from the morning show--
JULIE HYMAN: Wow.
BRIAN SOZZI: --this year. Look at you, Brian Cheung. Just really impressive, as always.
BRIAN CHEUNG: Well, you know, I got to tease our next show, "Yahoo Finance Presents-- Brian and Zack's New Year's Stock [INAUDIBLE]. That's going to be coming up at 11:00. We'll have market retrospectives in tuxedos. What more could you ask?
But I want to stick to the theme here of looking back on 2021 for the end of your show, the last one of 2021. And you know, our viewers here on Yahoo Finance know that you don't have to wait until New Year's Day to see some fireworks because if you watch the 9:00 to 11:00 show throughout the year, you'll see fireworks seemingly on an every day or every week basis, at least. So our producers here have actually kindly asked me to show a little bit of a montage of what we call our friendly debates here on Yahoo Finance. Take a watch.
BRIAN SOZZI: I don't think investors prepared for that inevitable hit. We're staring right down at this.
JULIE HYMAN: Oh, inevitable.
BRIAN SOZZI: [INAUDIBLE]
JULIE HYMAN: Inevitable. Inevitable--
BRIAN SOZZI: It is inevitable.
JULIE HYMAN: --is a little bit of strong word. It isn't inevitable. OK.
BRIAN SOZZI: Households are getting it from both ways. I think higher gas prices here--
JULIE HYMAN: Well, to be fair--
BRIAN SOZZI: --also to higher product prices.
JULIE HYMAN: --Walmart is not. Walmart is not. You mentioned Walmart and Target.
BRIAN SOZZI: They have pushed through price increases.
JULIE HYMAN: They're not passing through the cost. That's--
BRIAN SOZZI: They have pushed through--
JULIE HYMAN: [INAUDIBLE]
BRIAN SOZZI: --price increases.
If these retail investors think it is now a crypto play, I mean, you could a large move into the close.
JULIE HYMAN: Eh. Hm. I'm-- I'm trying to put the-- [INAUDIBLE]
BRIAN SOZZI: I'm reading the tape.
JULIE HYMAN: How does that work?
BRIAN SOZZI: I'm reading the tape here, Julie.
JULIE HYMAN: No, they're not necessarily losing money. Why do you keep saying that they're losing money? It depends on when they got in. It depends on when they got in. If they got in early enough, they're not losing money.
BRIAN SOZZI: I would suspect, Julie, a lot of these folks got in at the top.
MYLES UDLAND: I mean, we could talk about the way that we want the world to be, or we could-- like, I'm serious. Like, we're talking about-- I think we should be talking about the way the world is. How does the Fed think about things? What are the things that are happening? This theoretical argument about how the Fed should be doing this, how the Fed shouldn't be doing that, what the market should be, should be be volatility, should there not, like, who cares?
BRIAN CHEUNG: And you know, some cameo appearances by myself, alongside our former colleague, Myles Udland. Now, we've kind of taken on different roles. I've kind of served as a referee, in some cases. Myles was just simply hopping in and getting dirty with you guys, as well. But look, these friendly debates always really make for some spirited conversation, and no one's really right or wrong in some of these complicated issues. But just really love that retrospective on 2021. And of course, plenty more, I'm sure, to come in 2022, guys. Keep it friendly. Keep it friendly--
BRIAN SOZZI: Yeah, well--
BRIAN CHEUNG: --keep it PG.
BRIAN SOZZI: [INAUDIBLE]
JULIE HYMAN: Wait, no, no, no, see, sometimes Sozz is just wrong.
BRIAN SOZZI: Corporate tax is going higher, Julie. Corporate taxes, going higher next year. Going to hit profits, stocks are going down.
JULIE HYMAN: Sometimes Brian Sozzi's just wrong. That's-- that's-- you know, but it's OK. It's all right.
BRIAN CHEUNG: Aren't we all? Aren't we all?
BRIAN SOZZI: Yeah, true, true.
BRIAN CHEUNG: We're right sometimes, we're wrong sometimes.
JULIE HYMAN: I mean, listen, listen, that is something-- you know, we were talking earlier about lessons that we've learned in 2021. I'll just go ahead and say it. I've been wrong this year. It's happened. OK? I'm willing to admit it. I think all of us have made some mistakes over the course of the past couple of years, in terms of how we thought things were going to turn out.
Did I think that New Year's Eve 2021 I was going to be sitting on my couch again? I did not. But here we are, guys. And I-- you know, I won't be sitting on my couch in a tuxedo, like the ever classy Brian Cheung here, but that's OK.
BRIAN CHEUNG: See, there we go. You guys-- can you guys virtually shake hands or something, or like-- I don't-- yeah--
BRIAN SOZZI: There you go.
BRIAN CHEUNG: --the other direction.
BRIAN SOZZI: Big inflation next year. Big inflation.
JULIE HYMAN: All right, we'll see if all of that is right. Brian Cheung, thank you for delivering that special New Year's message and package to us. Viewers out there-- oh my. Viewers out there, we did not know that that was coming, to be clear. And here we all are, our own branded champagnes going into 2022. That's what we'll be drinking tonight.
BRIAN SOZZI: I've got to give a shout out, Julie. We've got to give a shout out to our team. I mean, the producers behind--
JULIE HYMAN: Absolutely.
BRIAN SOZZI: --our show, I mean, it's been a challenging year, so much going on. I mean, they just do amazing work. Like, I don't know, I'm very-- I know we joke around, but I'm very lucky to be working with you all. You know, it's a hell of a team. Hell of a team.
BRIAN CHEUNG: Cheers.
JULIE HYMAN: That's how we end-- oh, wow, look, he's even got--
BRIAN CHEUNG: No, it's apple cider. Don't worry. Come on. For anyone watching here, you know.

BRIAN CHEUNG: Keeping it PG here. We're keeping it PG here.
