In this week's episode of WSJ’s Take On the Week, co-hosts Gunjan Banerji and Telis Demos dig into the latest big bank earnings and what they signal about the health of the U.S. consumer. Next, they explore the disconnect between potential economic warning signs and the market’s speculative fever, where the “buy the dip” mentality continues to drive stocks to new records. Finally, they look ahead to the upcoming earnings from Coca-Cola, Keurig Dr Pepper, Colgate-Palmolive, Ford and GM.

Then, after the break, Rob Arnott, founder of investment firm Research Affiliates, joins Gunjan to chat about the stock market bubble. Arnott explains his case for why the market is "priced for perfection," and later, he breaks down how government stimulus and the rise of index funds are fueling the rally. And where can investors find opportunities in a frothy market? Arnott has an answer.

This is WSJ’s Take On the Week where co-hosts Gunjan Banerji, lead writer for Live Markets, and Telis Demos, Heard on the Street’s banking and money columnist, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.
