Werbung | Exklusives Angebot für unsere Hörer: Lest das Handelsblatt 12 Monate zum halben Preis: www.handelsblatt.com/podcast50 An der Wall Street kam es heute früh zu einem technischen Zwischenfall: Der Handel mit US-Aktienfutures wurde gestoppt, nachdem es in einem Rechenzentrum der Chicago Mercantile Exchange ein Kühlungsproblem gab. Betroffen waren Dow-, S&P- und Nasdaq-Futures, die zuvor jeweils leicht im Plus lagen. Die CME erklärte, dass der Ausfall im CyrusOne-Rechenzentrum mehrere Märkte pausieren ließ. Anleihehandel und Metalle wurden bereits wieder aufgenommen, und wie angekündigt startete der Handel mit Aktienfutures um 8:30 Uhr Eastern Time erneut. Danach zogen die Futures sofort wieder an – der Dow zeitweise +100 Punkte, der Nasdaq +0,4 %, der S&P 500 +0,2 %. Die Störung trifft auf einen ohnehin volatilen Handelstag: den Freitag nach Thanksgiving, traditionell mit sehr dünnen Umsätzen und entsprechend größeren Kursausschlägen. Gleichzeitig endet heute der Monat November – ein schwacher Tech-Monat, der aber trotzdem mit einer starken Woche endet: Der Dow über +2 %, der S&P rund +3 % und der Nasdaq etwa +4 %.

Creativity through the lens of the President and Founder of Get Looped"Creativity is about taking risks and showing up."Chris is a seasoned sales and business veteran with a Masters in Finance and Economics from Northwestern University. His forty-year career began on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, where he started his first business in partnership with his brother Curtis. With the introduction of electronic trading, he transitioned to Wall Street to participate in this disruptive new technology. As a Senior Sales Executive with some of the world's most prominent financial institutions, he learned the business practices that can propel or crush a company's potential for success. He was able to apply those lessons as a Founder and Board Member of a small business which developed into a publicly listed company on NASDAQ.During his vast experience at the heart of the financial world, Chris weathered and witnessed the personal and societal impacts caused by the increasing speed, complexity and volatility of the industry. He observed and recognized how the extraordinary wealthy rarely shared the credit or the wealth with the employees, vendors and community that made organizational success a reality. The power of a reshaped version of Capitalism and potential of the community of socially conscious leaders inspired Chris's mission to help redefine the hierarchical, shareholder-first corporate model and foster companies that prioritize purpose as importantly as profits.Driven by an unshakable desire to partner with the leaders of small and medium businesses, Chris founded GET LOOPED, LLC as a platform to showcase the value and benefits of a collective prosperity for people, businesses and communities. Today, he helps businesses and CEOs incorporate prosperity in collaboration with profitability into their business practices.https://www.facebook.com/people/Get-Looped/100070935636104/https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-lautenslager/https://get-looped.com/Send us a text
Sixteen years ago, CNBC commentator Rick Santelli stood on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and delivered an impassioned rant against federal plans to bail out struggling homeowners. “Do we really want to subsidize the losers' mortgages?” he shouted, calling for a “Chicago Tea Party” to protest government intervention.That moment became the rallying cry for a movement that would reshape conservative politics, define opposition to the Obama presidency, and eventually evolve into the MAGA movement that has since won the White House twice.Lately, the Tea Party has been on my mind because of the way political movements are often dismissed by their opponents. In liberal circles, one word was frequently used to wave off the Tea Party: astroturf.“This isn't a grassroots movement,” critics insisted. “It's funded by billionaires to look like a populist uprising.” After all, it started on CNBC—hardly a blue-collar favorite.But that's not the whole story. And now, in 2024, astroturfing accusations are being hurled in the opposite direction.Last week, Republican Rep. Rich McCormick of Georgia faced a hostile crowd at a town hall in Roswell. The moment (captured in a widely circulated video) showed Democrats in his district voicing their frustration, pushing back forcefully against GOP policies.In response, conservatives dismissed the backlash as manufactured outrage, a coordinated effort by the so-called “deep state” to rattle the Republican establishment.Sound familiar?To understand whether today's Democratic anger is real or manufactured, it's worth looking back at how the Tea Party took shape.While Santelli's on-air rant is widely credited with sparking the Tea Party, grassroots opposition to Obama's policies had already begun. Keli Carender, a blogger in Seattle, organized an anti-stimulus protest even before Santelli's speech. Her February 2009 demonstration—dubbed the “Porkulus Protest”—drew about 100 people.But once Santelli's rant went viral, Tea Party protests exploded across the country. Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter helped coordinate events, and by April's Tax Day, an estimated quarter-million people took to the streets in organized demonstrations. Conservative media played a crucial role in amplifying the movement. Fox News hosts like Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity championed Tea Party causes, helping grow its ranks. Soon, prominent Republican figures lent their support, though the movement remained largely decentralized.By the summer of 2009, as Obamacare made its way through Congress, Tea Party activists shifted their strategy. Instead of street protests, they flooded town halls, confronting Democratic lawmakers with fiery opposition. Videos of these clashes—angry constituents challenging their representatives—became a defining image of the movement.And electorally, the Tea Party had teeth. While it failed to topple the Republican establishment entirely (Mitt Romney still won the 2012 nomination), it helped flip House seats and push the GOP further to the right.What does the Tea Party teach us about today's Democratic opposition?* It's never too early to be angry. Santelli's rant came barely a month after Obama took office. Right now, Trump's disapproval ratings are rising, but Democrats haven't yet rallied around a singular issue.* Movements can make an impact—especially in the House. The Tea Party didn't need to control the White House to change the political landscape. A handful of flipped seats can shift the balance of power.* Dismissing protests as ‘astroturf' is risky. If the same kind of town hall showdowns seen in McCormick's district begin happening elsewhere, they could turn into a trend.The Tea Party was fueled by a raw, pent-up anger over fiscal conservatism. Many conservatives felt betrayed by their own party—George W. Bush had campaigned on balanced budgets, only to expand deficits through wars and bailouts. Obama's presidency, with its ambitious government programs, only amplified those frustrations.The question for Democrats now is: What's their version of that anger?If it's simply opposition to Trump, that's not enough. Even figures like Elon Musk—despised by many progressives—aren't sustainable political villains. “Musk sent another email” isn't a battle cry that will mobilize voters in the long run.That's why Democratic strategists should be tickled by what just happened in the House. They (impressively) passed a budget that, while avoiding direct mention of Medicaid, includes $880 billion in cuts overseen by the Energy and Commerce Committee—which just happens to control Medicaid.Why the cuts? Because fiscal hawks in the House need a way to offset the Trump tax cuts.For Democrats, that's a classic, politically potent message: Republicans are cutting your Medicaid to give tax cuts to the rich.If they can harness that into a movement—one that gets people angry enough to show up at town halls, knock on doors, and vote—then history might just be repeating itself.Podcast Chapters & Timecodes* 00:00:00 – Introduction* 00:01:58 – The Tea Party's Legacy and Lessons for Democrats* 00:14:55 – Dan Bongino Becomes FBI's Second-in-Command* 00:19:15 – MSNBC's Prime-Time Shake-Up & Network Struggles* 00:22:58 – NYC Mayor Eric Adams' Re-Election Challenges* 00:26:27 – Interview with Brian Sack on Ukraine & DEI Policies* 01:05:28 – Wrap-Up This is a public episode.

Guy Adami, Elizabeth Thomas of SoFi, and Dan Nathan dive into the latest market trends, football updates, and notable financial happenings in Monday's edition of the On The Tape podcast. The episode starts with a light-hearted discussion about the Green Bay Packers' performance before shifting focus to the market's current state, with the S&P 500 nearing all-time highs. The hosts analyze historical interest rate trends, sector performances, and the impact of the Federal Reserve's actions. They delve into rising tech stocks, particularly AI-driven companies, and discuss the potential consequences of a long-duration bull market. The episode also highlights important corporate earnings from companies like Microsoft, Micron, and Costco, and their implications for the broader market. The show wraps up with thoughts on potential mergers and acquisitions, particularly Intel and Qualcomm, and the current regulatory environment. Guy Adami sits down with Terry Duffy, the chairman and CEO of CME Group, at the Georgetown University Psaros Center for Financial Markets and Policy. Duffy reflects on his journey from a humble start at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in 1980 to leading CME Group, a company now valued at $78 billion. They discuss the vital role of futures in risk management, with Duffy highlighting how proper hedging could have prevented the downfall of institutions like SVB and Republic Bank. The conversation also touches on Duffy's instincts regarding the fraudulent nature of FTX's Sam Bankman-Fried and the profound impact of emerging markets like crypto and AI.

Derivatives are not suitable for all investors and involve the risk of losing more than the amount originally deposited and any profit you might have made. This communication is not a recommendation or offer to buy, sell or retain any specific investment or service.

From the time he was headlight height, Patrick knew that these were magic machines, drawn from the high banks of imagination to drink gasoline & eat asphalt. He bootstrapped his first collector car business in 2003 after a career as an Executive Recruiter within the Information Technology sector during the "tech-boom" which began in the mid-1990's. As an I.T. Recruiter and Consultant to the e-Commerce, Electronic Trading, and Insurance industries, he pioneered internet sourcing, marketing, and selection practices to build high-performance teams in mission-critical business units within companies such as IBM, Walgreens, Discover Card, Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and Allstate Insurance.He also grew up learning how to wrench, restore, tune, and drive American Muscle Cars, owning 13 cars within two years in high school and more since, everything from Mopars, to Mustangs, to Chevelles and GTO's. Starting Show Your Auto was an opportunity for Patrick to marry his skills honed in the business world with his innate passion for automobiles. "I know that to pursue and purchase a rare collectible car is not just a buying decision, or even just an investment decision, this is about fulfilling your heart's desire, one that has been there since you were a boy, if you were like me."Today, Rev Muscle Cars uses the same commitment to best practices in marketing and selection to take the hassle out of selling and the risk out of buying collectible cars.

CHRIS LAUTENSLAGER – Today's podcast looks at Freedom specifically through the Lens of small business and how they may just be the key to restoring our culture and maintaining the American Spirit and the American Dream! Because of authoritarian business closings, lockdowns, and mandates, millions of small business owners were negatively affected including over 100,000 who are permanently closed. It devastated local communities and the economy as we saw a tremendous transfer of business to big box and online retailers like Target, Walmart, and Amazon. Many of these large companies participate in woke ideologies that most Americans are tired of.Meet Chris Lautenslager.Chris is an expert in business and recognizes the importance of small local business ownership. His forty+ years career started with building a trading firm on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in partnership with his brother Curtis. He was then recruited to NYC for senior positions, working at some of the world's premier financial institutions, including Credit Suisse, SAC Capital Management, John W. Henry & Co., and Intercontinental Exchange. Chris came to witness, experience, and understand how business really works in the U.S. Recognizing the importance of small businesses to our society's health, Chris advocates for the benefits and value of small businesses over the abuses of global institutions.

Steve, thanks for having me back. It's great to have you. It's great to have you. And since we last spoke, things have changed. I was wondering if the introduction was even appropriate in a private real estate manager, or now you are a public real estate manager. I don't know what it is. But tell me a little bit about your story. How did you get into starting Origin Investments and what's been your entrepreneurial journey? Yeah, well, first of all, the introduction still is correct. We're a private real estate manager. We do build, buy, and lend to multifamily real estate in Sunbelt States. And I'll take you back, I guess, I mean, not all the way back, but kind of to where we started origin. And that really happened in kind of 05, 06, 07, it was formalized in 07. But I came out of the commodity trading industry, so I had a very non-traditional route into real estate. I had cut my teeth down at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, I traded interest rates and that's where I made my wealth down there. I think as a wealthy person, especially young, you become a little bit paranoid about making sure that you keep your wealth and you never say the five words of, “I used to be rich.” Trust me, I've known a lot of people who have said those words. My partner and I, we're just trading investment ideas back and forth and we wanted to be in alternatives. We didn't want to just be passive investors and put our money in the 60-40 portfolio. We believed in alternatives and especially in real estate and just the power of its ability to protect, to grow wealth, to produce income. And that's when we started, was in 2007. But it wasn't, we didn't have a very, what I'll call coherent vision back then. The idea was just to invest our own money in real estate and protect it and grow it, produce the income streams, all the reasons why people get into real estate. I think as we were looking out at the market and evaluating the competition and we had both invested, we just realized that there weren't a lot of great opportunities for individual investors like us. We weren't big enough to have a true family office buying deals directly, but we also weren't, you know, kind of on the small end investing $50,000 to $100,000 into deals. And what you find is that either, you know, the institutions really, they are the ones who command the leverage because they're putting out so much money. And if you have $50,000 to $100,000, at least at that time, in ‘06, ‘07, you really didn't have a lot of options out there. The idea was just to invest our own money in real estate and protect it and grow it, produce the income streams, all the reasons why people get into real estate.Share on X The options weren't that great. And if you were somewhere in the middle, had a million or two million to invest kind of where we were in a deal. Even the good sponsors out there, what you would find, the ones who were marketing towards the retail investor, the individual investor, their fees were just incredibly high. They had great deals, but you didn't really create any wealth. And it was a buy, fix, sort of sell type model. And we were just like, “Look, we can do something better here as a group.” And what we decided to do is create an institutional real estate firm for the individual investor. In the beginning,

In the 1980s, brokers at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange were not Ivy League financial-types. They were mostly blue-collar workers with on-the-job training in commodities exchanges. And they were making more money than most knew what to do with. All that cash caught the interest of the FBI, who suspected financial fraud at the Merc. But after undercover agents spent thousands of hours on the floor losing millions of dollars in taxpayer money, their investigation turned out to be a bad investment.In “Brokers, Bagmen, and Moles” host Anjay Nagpal takes listeners into the pits of Chicago's exchanges to detail one of the costliest FBI investigations ever. Were authorities really going after the handful of small fish they caught - or did they actually have their sights on some blue chip executives?OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "BROKERS, BAGMEN, AND MOLES" BEGIN IN THE FINAL NINE MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.In Crime of the Week: booze cruise.
BIO: Igor Yelnik founded Alphidence Capital Ltd in 2020 and holds the positions of CEO and CIO. Alphidence is a systematic macro hedge fund management firm based in London, UK.STORY: Igor's company entered into a forward contract with one of Russia's biggest banks and sold a very significant amount of the Russian ruble against the US dollar. The company made a considerable profit, but the bank decided not to pay. After a lengthy court battle, the company gave up and counted its losses.LEARNING: Infrastructure and systematic risks can affect your trade significantly. “Non-market risks are really paramount in forward currency trades.”Igor Yelnik Guest profileIgor Yelnik founded Alphidence Capital Ltd in 2020 and holds the positions of CEO and CIO. Alphidence is a systematic macro hedge fund management firm based in London. Previously Igor was the CIO for ADG Capital Management from 2013 to 2019. Prior to that, he spent 9 years at IPM Informed Portfolio Management, where he was a Partner and Head of Portfolio Management and Research. Before this, Igor co-founded St. Petersburg Capital, an asset management firm that specialized in the Russian securities market, and later Unibase Invest, a managed futures business based in Tel Aviv.Worst investment everIn 1998, Asian prices, oil prices, stock prices, and the Russian ruble were going down. Igor was still working in Russia at that time. The Russian Central Bank established a cap—the currency corridor—they set ranges for the ruble. The exciting part was how much the US dollar could appreciate against the ruble. Everybody understood that the ruble was doomed to depreciate in that macroeconomic environment.Then the most popular trade of the summer of 1998 happened. This was the currency forward trade. Russian banks believed the Russian Central Bank would support the currency, so they bought the ruble. Then all the foreign banks played against them and sold the ruble.The ruble was already trading in the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The foreign price of the ruble on the over-the-counter market in Russia was higher than in Chicago. So in principle, you could sell the ruble in Russia and buy it in Chicago, which was like free money.Under Russian law, Igor's company entered into a forward contract with one of Russia's biggest banks. The company sold a significant amount of the Russian ruble against the US dollar. The trade was entered into in July, and the delivery would be on the 15th of September 1998. The price of the trade was 6.37 rubles for $1.On the 17th of August, Russia defaulted on its debt denominated in the national currency. At the same time, it stopped supporting the ruble, so it devalued. By the middle of September, the ruble depreciated relative to the US dollar. It went from 6.37 to around 16. So Igor's company won in that trade. Then on the 14th of September, the morning trading session set the price of the ruble at 8.25. This was still profitable for Igor's company.The most interesting thing happened. The Russian bank refused to pay for these contracts, so Igor's company wasn't paid for its trade. The company decided to go to court and won. The bank appealed, but Igor won again.At that time, the Supreme Court decided in a similar case, where another major Russian bank was sued by one of the major French banks because of a non-payment on a similar contract. The Russian Supreme Court decided that the law should not protect a currency-forward transaction because it's akin to betting. Igor and...
