On this week’s episode of The Morning Filter, David Sekera and Susan Dziubinski unpack the busy week ahead for investors. They cover pivotal economic events, including the looming tariff deadline, the Fed meeting, a crucial inflation report, and the latest jobs numbers. Plus, they preview the Magnificent Seven stocks reporting earnings this week—Microsoft MSFT, Apple AAPL, Amazon AMZN and Meta Platforms META—and revisit some former stock picks reporting soon, too.

They reveal whether Tesla TSLA or Alphabet GOOGL are good investments given their latest guidance. And they wrap things up with a list of stocks investors should consider buying and selling post-earnings.
