Interest rates are falling again. After years of rate hikes, mortgage stress, and a cooling economy, the RBA has now dropped interest rates for the second time this cycle and there are more rate cuts to come. But what does this actually mean? Is the worst behind us—or is this a sign of deeper cracks in the economy? In today's Big Picture episode, I'm joined again by leading financial commentator Pete Wargent as we unpack the macroeconomic forces shaping our housing markets and the financial outlook for Australians. Of course, the headline is the Reserve Bank's decision to cut rates on May 20. But there's so much more going on behind the scenes—consumer spending is tanking, the construction sector is in crisis, our population is booming while new housing approvals are plummeting, and unemployment is quietly starting to rise. We also explore whether this rate cut will fire up another round of property price growth, how investors are likely to respond, and whether inflation could make an unwelcome return. Plus, we'll take a step back and look at the global context—what's happening with the US Federal Reserve, China's economy, and what all of this means for you as a property investor, business owner, or just someone trying to make sense of the chaos. So whether you're wondering if now is the right time to buy property, refinance, or simply want to stay ahead of the curve, you're in the right place.   Takeaways  ·         Market signals indicate a turning point in property investment. ·         Falling interest rates are expected to boost consumer confidence. ·         The narrative we tell ourselves can limit our potential. ·         First home buyers are likely to enter the market soon. ·         Melbourne's population growth poses significant infrastructure challenges. ·         Consumer confidence is crucial for property market recovery. ·         The housing market is facing a significant shortage of supply. ·         Government policies need to align with housing demand. ·         Long-term investment strategies are essential for success. ·         Understanding market trends is key to making informed decisions.   Chapters    00:00 Global Economic Trends and Interest Rates 04:40 Impact of Interest Rate Cuts on Consumer Confidence 10:17 Investor Loans and Market Indicators 15:35 Consumer Confidence and Economic Resilience 18:32 Challenges in Housing Supply and Development 23:48 The Future of Rental Markets and Social Housing 31:50 The Turning Point in Property Investment   Links and Resources:   Metropole's Strategic Property Plan – to help both beginning and experienced investors Get a bundle of free reports and eBooks – www.PodcastBonus.com.au  Pete Wargent's blog Pete Wargent's new book, The Buy Right Approach to Property Investing Pete's other book – The New Wealth Way Get a bundle of free reports and eBooks – www.PodcastBonus.com.au  Also, please subscribe to my other podcast Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for  Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.

with @cdixon @SamBroner @rhhackettStablecoins are quietly transforming how money moves — faster, cheaper, and more globally than ever before. In this episode, we take a deep look at why stablecoins have emerged as one of the most promising applications in crypto today — and how they could reshape global payments.I'm joined by Chris Dixon, founder and managing partner of a16z crypto and author of the New York Times-bestselling book Read Write Own, and Sam Broner, a deal partner at a16z crypto who focuses on stablecoins. Together, we unpack the technical and regulatory foundations of stablecoins, explore the cracks in the current payments system, and look ahead to what becomes possible once digital dollars go mainstream. We also dig into the current state of regulation — and why the future of money might end up looking a lot more like email or the web than a bank.Check out the show notes for links and resources that we reference throughout this episode.

Information comes at us at a dizzying pace. We live in a 30-second news cycle, and the latest headline tends to drive markets.  Are investors missing the big picture in this deluge of data and headlines? In this episode of the Money Metals' Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey argues that many are, and he encourages more big-picture thinking to put the latest headlines into perspective. To kickstart the process, he covers three long-term trends that he thinks investors should pay attention to. 

Today, we're talking about something that seems harmless on the surface but is quietly draining your energy, your focus, and your potential—doing all the small stuff on your own. I know you're capable. You've figured out how to juggle a dozen different tasks every day. But if you're honest, deep down you know something's not working. You're stuck in the busy work, and the big dreams you started this solo business for keep getting pushed to the back burner. This episode is your wake-up call and your invitation to stop trying to do it all—and start doing what actually grows your business.

Robby and Joe begin Tuesday's show with the latest offseason thoughts on the Nashville Predators.  DVD had some things to say about the expectations of the team and where the roster sits right now.  Can they thread the needle of winning now and developing young players?  What do we think about some way too early college football rankings, and are the Vols going to be any good this year?  We get into the news that Michael Jordan is joining NBC coverage.

"I feel like a cat trying to chase a laser pointer" following inflation developments, says Eric Pachman. He isn't worried about future CPI prints after today's report but notes gasoline's deflationary moves as signs of a pinched consumer. Sarah Foster agrees, adding that there are other signals pointing to discretionary spending pullback. They also turn to inflation's impact on the Fed's interest rate path.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

A fun Monday with lots to discuss!

The Red Sox said that the Royals were a test this weekend. This team has reached a respect point in the league and that should matter even when they don't win 2 out of 3.

The Royals lost 2 out of 3 but that's not the big picture. This team is a contender. We talk the best KC athletes ever and then talk essential movies.

Why haven't there been mass protests against Trump like there were in 2017?Part of the reason is the climate of fear and uncertainty that now proliferates throughout many communities, from student activists on IV league campuses to undocumented migrants.The arrests of pro-Palestine students Mahmoud Khalil, Mohsen Mahdawi and Rumeysa Ozturk among others, and the deportation of hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador, some of whom legal US residents, has left many in shock about the direction of the government and what it intends to do next.So how do activists and organisers continue to speak up without fearing for their own careers, their families and their freedom?This week on The Big Picture Podcast, we speak with Palestinian-American political activist and civil rights advocate Linda Sarsour.Sarsour was the co-chair of the 2017 women's march, which brought millions to the streets in a defiant protest of Donald Trump's first term in office - at the time it was the largest single day protest in US history.In 2020 she published her memoir We're Not Here To Be Bystanders.We'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode, and any guests you'd like us to have on our show.

Redemptive theme in Mary's Magnificat.

Managing a large creative project that must be done in stages and with attention to what seems like a million intertwined details is a skill that must be learned through trial and error. Most projects are in the "ugly" stage until they are very near completion, and this can be frustrating and confusing when you have a grand vision of what you are trying to accomplish. In this episode I talk about what writing a novel taught me about how to keep going when you feel overwhelmed by the complexity of the work you are attempting to finish and start to lose hope that you'll finish at all.

Collin Martin and Jeffrey Kleintop provide the Big Picture takeaways from today's Fed decision to keep rates unchanged. Collin says right now the Fed is in "wait-and-see mode" and believes the U.S. central bank may cut twice in 2025, with the first cut more likely in September.

Long before 'Waiting For Guffman', Christopher Guest directed 'The Big Picture', a heartfelt, hilariously incisive movie about making movies. The film was greenlit during British film executive David Puttnam's brief tenure running Columbia Pictures.  Co-written by Guest's 'Spinal Tap' co-star Michael McKean, who also turns in an unexpectedly warm and heartfelt performance, 'The Big Picture' is worthy of rediscovery for its impressively spot-on send-up of both Los Angeles and the studio executives who populate the business. The film stars Kevin Bacon, McKean, J.T. Walsh, Emily Longstreth, an uncredited Martin Short, Fran Drescher, Jennifer Jason Leigh.   You can watch the film here.

May 3rd marks World Press Freedom Day. This year especially, press freedom is under threat in the United States from a range of directions: from hostile official rhetoric and actions to self-censorship and systemic appeasement, to just basic information overload. As the Trump administration continues to “flood the zone,” how can we assess individual developments to discern broader trends that might help us better understand what's happening, its impact and what we can do about it?  Just Security Executive Editor and Professor of Law at American University, Rebecca Hamilton, joins Just Security Washington Senior Editor, Viola Gienger, to discuss how to grapple with the onslaught of news developments in the field of press freedom and discern broader trends. Show Notes:  Rebecca Hamilton's “The Trump Administration's Use of State Power: Keeping Track of the Big Picture” (May 2, 2025) Rebecca Hamilton's “Connecting the Dots: Trump's Tightening Grip on Press Freedom” (Feb. 6, 2025)   Just Security's Coverage of Trump Administration Executive Actions Music: “Broken” by David Bullard from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/david-bullard/broken (License code: OSC7K3LCPSGXISVI)

By Philip Aust - In Corinth, division was occurring because of sin and it came to Paul's attention. He did not hold back. So today, does the church turn a blind eye to certain behaviors, such as alcohol abuse? No. Drunkenness is not acceptable, nor condoned. We are to live according to God's righteous standards

God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates Steven Spielberg. Steven Spielberg makes 1993's Jurassic Park and changes movie history. The Big Picture's Sean Fennessey joins us to talk about this totemic blockbuster, and we're spending three hours talking about the bad boys of the Jurassic era (velociraptors), the bad boys of ILM (Steve ‘Spaz' Williams and Mark Dippe), and the bad boy of movie scientists (Dr. Ian Malcolm). Note: this episode was recorded last fall, so some of the takes you'll hear are a bit…frozen in amber. Yup, you guessed it. Hawk Tuah Talk again.
