What if a US dollar collapse is not doom talk from the fringe, but simply the logical end of the fiat currency game we are already playing. In this episode, Mike Peterson sits down with investor and author Larry Lepard inside El Salvador's National Palace to unpack the thesis behind The Big Print book and why Larry believes the next massive round of money printing is not a question of if, only when. From the setting to the stakes, this is a conversation about what happens to real people when a reserve currency reaches the edge of the map. Larry Lepard walks through his journey from pure gold bug to running a fund that owns both gold stocks and Bitcoin, and why he still respects gold while expecting Bitcoin to crush it in performance. He and Mike Peterson explore what sound money really means in a world of relentless monetary debasement, why he sees fiat currency as the true enemy, and why he thinks “cash on the sidelines” is a dangerous illusion. If you have ever argued Bitcoin versus gold with friends, this gives you a deeper, more nuanced view from someone who lives on both sides of that trade.From there, the episode dives into macro reality. Larry explains the US debt doom loop, the trapped position of the Federal Reserve, and why the next Big Print could push us closer to a visible US dollar collapse. He talks about the balance sheet, interest expense, QE under different names, and why he thinks fiat currency has no real bottom once confidence breaks. This is not framed as chart guessing. It is framed as a very direct question about where you want your savings when politicians decide that printing is safer than telling the truth.The setting in El Salvador is not a backdrop. Mike Peterson and Lawrence Lepard talk about President Bukele, Bitcoin as legal tender, and what it means for a small country to defy the IMF and move toward a Bitcoin strategy while the United States digs deeper into fiat. They reflect on safety, investment, and whether “Bitcoin Country” was a PR stunt or an early glimpse of a world where sound money policy starts outside traditional power centers. If you are curious about how one nation is already testing ideas while the rest of the world still debates online, this part of the conversation hits hard.Finally, Larry pushes into a future that sounds crazy until you sit with it. He sketches a timeline where Bitcoin trades at 5 million dollars a coin, Michael Saylor runs for president on a sound money and nuclear disarmament platform, and the United States has to confront a real choice between honest money and the old fiat game. It is provocative, it is uncomfortable, and it is exactly the kind of thought experiment that forces you to ask what you actually believe about Bitcoin, the dollar, and the world your family will live in.

President Trump's repeated denials and distractions are intensifying the Epstein controversy rather than defusing it. Despite his claims of cutting ties with Jeffrey Epstein—such as citing a falling-out over employees and denying visits to Epstein's private island—Trump's name reportedly appears in newly surfaced documents, and he was even briefed about Epstein-related matters by then–Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. His constant insistence that any questions about Epstein are a “hoax” has only deepened public suspicion, particularly among members of his own base who expected transparency and accountability. By refusing to address his past relationship with Epstein in a clear, candid way, Trump has allowed unanswered questions to fester.At the same time, Trump has leaned heavily into his usual playbook of political distractions—attacking opponents, manufacturing controversies, and pushing sensational narratives to draw attention away from his Epstein ties. He's raged about everything from sports team names to the Federal Reserve, all while ignoring the growing pile of Epstein-related headlines that continue to surface. This strategy, once effective, now appears desperate and disjointed. The more Trump attempts to deflect, the more the Epstein issue dominates the conversation, undermining his credibility and fueling speculation. In trying to outrun the story, Trump is only dragging it closer.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

This week on “Henssler Money Talks,” we're digging into what Thanksgiving really costs in 2025. Walmart is rolling out a dinner basket that feeds 10 for under $4 per person—though it's a bit leaner than last year and noticeably missing those beloved King's Hawaiian rolls. Target's four-person meal rings in under $20, even as grocery prices climb 2.7%. We break down what all of this says about inflation, consumer behavior, and the state of the American wallet heading into the holidays.Then we turn to the markets. November has been a tougher month for stocks, and as third-quarter earnings season winds down, big names like Nvidia are still set to drive headlines. Can its results turn the week around? With the government shutdown now off the table, investors are also gearing up for a fresh round of economic data—including minutes from the Federal Reserve's October meeting that may offer clues about the path of interest rates. We unpack what investors should watch and what it all means for your portfolio.After the break, we dive into a headline-grabbing idea: 50-year mortgages. The Federal Housing Finance Agency is floating the concept, but would stretching a home loan over five decades make homebuying more accessible—or simply saddle borrowers with far more interest over time? We lay out the potential benefits, the pitfalls, and what this could mean for future homeowners.And in our year-end planning segment, we turn to single-member LLCs and gig-economy workers. If you work for yourself, now is the time to take stock of your 2025 tax picture. We'll walk through what counts as income, which expenses qualify as deductions, and how to maximize retirement contributions before the year wraps up.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice, a seasoned communicator and host, on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty. Henssler Money Talks — November 22, 2025  |  Season 39, Episode 47Timestamps and Chapters5:39: Gravy, Gobble, and Grocery Bills13:47: Earnings, Rates & Market Trends26:37: 50-Year Home Stretch41:31: Solo but Smart: Year-end Financial Moves for Your LLCFollow Henssler:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HensslerFinancial/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/HensslerFinancial LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/henssler-financial/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hensslerfinancial/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hensslerfinancial?lang=en X: https://www.x.com/hensslergroup “Henssler Money Talks” is brought to you by Henssler Financial.

$57 billion. That's the amount of revenue tech giant NVIDIA reported in the third quarter. At first, the news was welcomed by investors who had been leery about the evaluation of artificial intelligence and whether the AI boom was actually a bubble. However, the gains from the chip maker's record-breaking revenue were soon lost, as they proved insufficient to ease worried minds. Also this week, the delayed September jobs report surprised with better-than-expected job growth. But what will that mean for the Federal Reserve when they meet next month as they weigh the decision to cut interest rates for a third straight time? Lou Basenese, the Executive Vice President of Market Strategy at Prairie Operating Co., joins FOX Business' Gerri Willis to discuss the AI trend, jobs, and what the Fed may do more.

In this episode of This Week in AML, Elliot Berman and John Byrne cover a wide range of pressing financial crime topics. They discuss FATF's latest report on combating online child exploitation, the UK's Economic Crime Survey findings on sanctions awareness and fraud, and updates from FinCEN on cartel-linked gambling establishments. Other highlights include enforcement actions against elder fraud, tariff evasion prosecutions, and regulatory changes at the Federal Reserve. Tune in for expert analysis and actionable insights for compliance professionals.

On this episode of Right On Radio, host Jeff takes listeners through a wide-ranging, high-perspective review of breaking developments: the latest around the Jeffrey Epstein file releases and mounting calls for accountability, a provocative financial blueprint from billionaire Bill Ackman to return Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to market ownership, and the idea of a U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund that could funnel dividends to citizens. Jeff breaks down Ackman's three-step proposal to convert taxpayers' stake in the GSEs into formal ownership, relist the companies on the stock market, and the broader implications for Trump-era plans to monetize public assets. He ties these financial shifts to ongoing political battles — attacks on the Federal Reserve, tariff dividends, and high-level stock and corporate stake moves. The show features and summarizes clips and statements from news figures and politicians: coverage of Rep. James Comer's push for subpoenas (including Bill and Hillary Clinton), commentary from Just the News/John Solomon, a critical look at Pam Bondi's DOJ press conference, Tucker Carlson's reactions, and Speaker Mike Johnson's national-security concerns about declassification. Jeff also highlights recent indictments and allegations — including a federal indictment involving Rep. Sheila Cherfilus McCormick and Nancy Mace's reporting on dismissed pedophilia cases in South Carolina — as signs of a growing justice narrative. Jeff contextualizes archival and investigative clips — from Geraldo Rivera's reporting to historical allegations of ritual abuse and international cases — to explain how these stories have circulated through media and why they matter now. He discusses the political theater surrounding release of evidence, the potential for rapid, targeted prosecutions, and the ways disclosure might upend existing power structures. The episode connects domestic revelations to global tensions: Britain's internal cultural and security flashpoints, reports of a Russian vessel mapping undersea infrastructure, the UN Board of Peace votes (and abstentions by China and Russia), and how geopolitical distraction can intersect with domestic scandal. Jeff argues these threads point to a larger transition in systems of power and calls for spiritual and community preparedness. Listeners are given a viewer-discretion warning before segments describing alleged abuse and ritualized crimes. The program also includes a short sponsor message for Coriolus versicolor immune-support supplements and information on supporting Right On Radio and Jeff's "Decoding the Power of Three" course. Expect analysis, sourced clips, speculation about how and when disclosures might land, and a combination of political, financial, and cultural commentary aimed at helping listeners see what Jeff describes as a convergence of events reshaping institutions and power.

In today's episode, Jon Sanchez and Cory Edge review a volatile trading session marked by an early surge in the major indexes followed by an abrupt intraday reversal. They discuss the day's sharp swings, the concerns raised by recent Federal Reserve commentary around asset valuations and private credit, and why many investors felt the impact across both the stock and real estate markets.Jon then outlines how an unexpected unwind in crypto leverage contributed to the broader sell-off, examining how automatic liquidations, dealer balance-sheet pressure, and short-selling activity in major tech names accelerated the downturn. The conversation also highlights how these dynamics can influence investor sentiment, retirement planning decisions, and wealth management Reno conversations.

With the historic government shutdown behind us, we dig back into key economic data captured over the duration of the shutdown: highlights include a modest improvement in housing activity, favorable labor market indicators despite data being somewhat stale, and mixed signals from the Federal Reserve amid uncertainty over December rate cuts. Equity markets showed heightened volatility, with strong earnings failing to sustain momentum, suggesting potential consolidation through year-end. Fixed income markets remain highly sensitive to Fed commentary, reflecting divergent views among policymakers. We also take a walk down memory lane to our 2025 predictions from last year—accurate on most calls—and preview the themes we think will impact 2026: global shifts toward nationalism, AI-driven disruption, and structural changes in financial markets. Please join us on December 3 for our last National Call of the year, when we'll dig into these topics and take questions from the audience.  Speakers: Brian Pietrangelo, Managing Director of Investment Strategy George Mateyo, Chief Investment Officer Stephen Hoedt, Head of Equities Rajeev Sharma, Head of Fixed Income  01:53 – Current Market and Economic Updates. Housing market improvement with existing home sales. Labor market stability, with unemployment claims holding and payrolls showing growth. Federal Reserve uncertainty, as October FOMC minutes reveal mixed opinions on rate cuts. Corporate earnings reports, which were strong but met with negative market reactions   08:04 – Equity Market Volatility and Seasonal Trends. Equity markets experienced an “outside day” with sharp reversals despite strong earnings. After strong September–October rallies, November–December may see consolidation rather than a typical year-end rally   11:46 – Fed Policy and Fixed Income Market Outlook. Fixed income markets are highly sensitive to Fed signals amid data gaps from the government shutdown. Divergence among Fed members on rate cuts vs. a pause creates volatility.   15:11 – We look back at our predictions from last year for 2025 trends and assess how accurate they were, and look ahead to our predictions for 2026, which we'll cover in more depth at our upcoming December 3 webinar (registration link below).  Additional Resources Attend: Key Wealth National Call: Managing Wealth in an Age of Disruption and Change  Key Questions Subscribe to our Key Wealth Insights newsletter Weekly Investment Brief Follow us on LinkedIn

Singapore stocks fell today, triggered by declining expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut. This follows a wider regional rout after markets tumbled earlier this week on fears of an artificial intelligence bubble. In terms of counters to watch, we have ComfortDelGro, after the transport operator yesterday announced senior leadership changes, which included the creation of a new “point-to-point mobility officer” role. Elsewhere, from what the latest US labour market data mean for the Federal Reserve, to how Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s Cabinet approved the largest round of extra spending since the pandemic, more international headlines remained in focus. Also on deck – comments by Foxconn chairman Liu Young that the company now had the capability to manufacture 1,000 artificial intelligence racks per week. On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Benjamin Goh, Head of Research and Investor Education, SIAS.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Trump is cratering in two new polls. A Marist survey has his overall approval rating at 39 percent, and a Marquette poll has his approval plunging on the economy (36-64), tariffs (37-63), and inflation (28-72). Yet Trump and his advisers don't have much of an answer to this problem. Trump just unleashed a long, rambling tirade angrily insisting that prices are really going down, not up. And he ranted bizarrely about Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell, saying of the latter, “I'd love to fire his ass,” another sign of his anger over inflation. So what happens if the economy really dips? We talked to New Republic staff writer Timothy Noah, who has been writing well on this question. He explains what's going on with the gathering economic storm clouds, why Trump is uniquely ill-suited to handle a worsening economic crisis, and what things might look like for Trump if the bottom falls out.

Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO and Chief Strategist at QI Research, joins Julia La Roche to break down the FOMC minutes. Danielle discusses the deep divisions within the Federal Reserve and their controversial decision-making heading into December. She argues the Fed is willfully ignoring abundant alternative data sources like ADP's weekly reports while claiming to fly blind without official jobs data—data that won't be released until after their December meeting due to administrative delays. Booth warns that if the Fed doesn't cut rates in December, they risk triggering a liquidity crisis similar to December 2018, when Powell's hawkish stance caused a market bloodbath on Christmas Eve and forced him to reverse course.

Yet Trump and his advisers don't have much of an answer to this problem. Trump just unleashed a long, rambling tirade angrily insisting that prices are really going down, not up. And he ranted bizarrely about Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell, saying of the latter, “I'd love to fire his ass,” another sign of his anger over inflation. So what happens if the economy really dips? We talked to New Republic staff writer Timothy Noah, who has been writing well on this question. He explains what's going on with the gathering economic storm clouds, why Trump is uniquely ill-suited to handle a worsening economic crisis, and what things might look like for Trump if the bottom falls out.

US Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer reacts to the "solid" September jobs report and says the Federal Reserve needs to cut rates again. Nonfarm payrolls increased 119,000 after the prior month was revised lower, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data, and the unemployment rate ticked up to an almost four-year high of 4.4% as the labor force grew. She speaks with Bloomberg's Matt Miller and Dani Burger. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.The S&P 500 is already slipping into a bearish downtrend, and one of the biggest names in market history is sounding the alarm again. The investor who famously called the 2008 crash is back with a new warning, and this time he says the setup could be even worse. In this video, we walk through what he is saying, why he thinks AI stocks are in bubble territory, and what the charts actually reveal once you cut through the hype.This one gets right into the real story behind AI valuations, trend direction, and how major stocks like Nvidia and Palantir actually behave when the market is weakening. You also see exactly how stage one, stage two, stage three, and stage four cycles show up on real charts like Tesla, Cisco, Bank of America, and more. If you have ever wondered why bubbles form, why they burst, and how regular investors get trapped in the boom and bust cycle, this breakdown explains it in simple, no-nonsense language.Right in the middle of everything, we take a practical look at how trend alignment works using the 10 EMA, 20 EMA, and 50 EMA. This pulls back the curtain on why counter trend trades are so difficult and why following the trend matters far more than trying to predict what happens next.Here is some of what you will get inside:✅ Why AI stocks are acting like a bubble✅ How market cycles form and why traders ignore the warning signs✅ Why shorting strong names in an uptrend is a dangerous move✅ What market breadth reveals about real buying and selling pressure✅ How past bubbles show the difference between buying smart and buying lateWe also dig into why this environment is not the same as the dot com bubble. Yes, money is pouring into AI. Yes, valuations are elevated. But today, the Federal Reserve is loosening money supply, lowering rates, and ending quantitative tightening. That means the “needle” that popped the dot com bubble is not the same needle that would pop an AI bubble today, which makes the timing and outcome very different.You will also hear an eye-opening discussion about the three possible needle points that could burst the bubble: the job market getting hit by rapid AI adoption, sky-high investor expectations that companies cannot meet forever, and simple value exhaustion as too much money chases too few winning stocks.On top of that, there is a breakdown of the OVTLYR Trend Template, why systematic entries and exits work, how expectancy plays into long-term returns, and why emotional decisions like FOMO and panic selling almost always end badly. If you want to avoid riding the boom up and then giving it all back on the bust, this is the kind of analysis that keeps you grounded.If you are looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk, stick around. You will walk away with a clearer, calmer way to approach the market no matter what bubble people say is forming next.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

Economist Mohamed El-Erian spoke to Barron's editor at large Andy Serwer about investing in artificial intelligence, the strength of the economy, the Federal Reserve, and more. This conversation was recorded on Oct. 28, 2025. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On today's podcast:1) Nvidia Corp. delivered a surprisingly strong revenue forecast and pushed back on the idea that the AI industry is in a bubble, easing concerns that had spread across the tech sector. The world’s most valuable company expects sales of about $65 billion in the January quarter — roughly $3 billion more than analysts predicted. Nvidia also said that a half-trillion-dollar revenue bonanza due in coming quarters may be even bigger than anticipated. The outlook signals that demand remains robust for Nvidia’s artificial intelligence accelerators, the pricey and powerful chips used to develop AI models. Nvidia had faced growing fears in recent weeks that the runaway spending on such equipment wasn’t sustainable. Nvidia results have become a barometer for the health of the AI industry, and the news lifted a variety of related stocks.2) Bond investors are zeroing in on Thursday’s US labor market report, which is expected to either kill or rekindle waning expectations for a Federal Reserve interest-rate cut next month. The September payrolls report, due at 8:30 a.m. New York time after a delay caused by the government shutdown, will be the only official major jobs data published before Fed policymakers meet for the final time this year. A report showing a resilient employment situation could undercut the case for more rate cuts and dash hopes of a further rally in the $30 trillion US Treasuries market. A soft reading, on the other hand, could revive bets on a third consecutive quarter-point cut at the Dec. 10 meeting and boost a market that’s already headed for its best year since 2020. Odds of a December cut assigned by the market have steadily slipped in recent weeks as some policymakers pushed back against further easing while inflation continues to run above the Fed’s 2% target.3) President Trump has signed legislation to compel the Department of Justice to release files on the late, disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. Trump said in a social media post that he signed the legislation Wednesday, approving a measure he had spent months trying to block in a fight that inflamed tensions in his own party and threatened to undermine his agenda. The president’s signature marked a stunning about-face for Trump, who had assailed the effort to require the release of the government’s files on Epstein — a convicted sex offender, who was facing federal charges of trafficking underage girls when he died in jail in 2019. It followed a lopsided 427 to 1 vote in the House — where a lone Republican lawmaker provided the only no vote — and the Senate agreeing unanimously to send the measure to the president’s desk.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Policy rates will likely be cut three times in 2026, with the 10-year yield between 4-4.5%, says Stephen Dover, chief market strategist at Franklin Templeton. Dover is joined by BI chief US rates strategist Ira Jersey and senior US and Canada rates strategy associate Will Hoffman to discuss global fixed-income markets and cross-asset relative value. The trio discuss the economic outlook for 2026 and relative value in US rate markets and abroad amid expected policy easing from the Federal Reserve. They also hit on shifts in private assets and global equity markets, before discussing how AI narratives may evolve in the coming years.  The Macro Matters podcast is part of BI's FICC Focus series.

Market volatility does not necessarily reflect shifts in the economic outlook. While some companies have suggested moderating consumer demand in the US, this may be just reflecting shifts in consumption patterns around the timing of trade tariffs, and should not be extrapolated into broader macroeconomic trends. The Federal Reserve minutes may offer more insight into the economy (at least as perceived by policy-makers).

Alexander Wolman discusses the Federal Reserve's recent unveiling of its revised Statement of Policy Goals, highlighting what has changed and what has remained consistent with past statements. Wolman is vice president for monetary and macroeconomic research at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.

Charlie Kirk was Mossad executed the second he turned on the Jewish billionaires and their Epstein pedo-blackmail protecting Trump and Netanyahu. We're exposing this Israeli child trafficking syndicate and their Satanic grip on America. They have turned the entire sky into one giant death spraying gas chamber, showering your kids with aluminum, barium, and God only knows what while steering trillion dollar kill storms right into the heart of conservative America. Ariana Masters joins us with 75 years of bulletproof contracts, lab proven toxic rain, and satellite footage that nails the treasonous U.S. regime.

In Part One, we followed the money — from ancient temples to the secret meeting at Jekyll Island, where a handful of bankers drafted a plan that would change the world. Now, in Part Two, The Conspiracy Podcast dives into what happened after that plan became law — and how it gave birth to one of the most powerful and most misunderstood institutions in history: the Federal Reserve.When the Federal Reserve Act passed in 1913, Americans had no idea how deeply it would shape their lives. A new hybrid system was born — part public, part private, run by twelve regional banks and a central board in Washington. It was designed to stop the boom-and-bust chaos that had plagued the country for decades. But to this day, people still ask the same question: Who really controls the Fed?The boys break down how this quiet institution evolved from a crisis-fighting experiment into a global financial empire. From the Great Depression to World War II, from the gold standard to the postwar boom, the Fed's fingerprints are everywhere — printing money, rescuing markets, and rewriting the rules of capitalism. They'll unpack how the Fed gained near-godlike power to move markets with a single announcement, and why every decision behind closed doors ripples through every dollar in your pocket.But this is The Conspiracy Podcast, and no story this big comes without shadows. Part Two dives into the darker theories — that the Fed is a private cartel of bankers pulling the strings behind the government; that the Rothschilds and Rockefellers still influence its policy; that the institution was designed not to stabilize America, but to enslave it in endless debt. From the myths of the Titanic murders to whispers about JFK's silver-backed money, the conspiracies surrounding the Fed are as old as the Fed itself.So, what's the truth behind the “Creature from Jekyll Island”? Is the Federal Reserve a necessary guardian of modern finance… or a hidden hand controlling the world economy?Sean, Jorge, and Eric crack open the vault and ask the question few dare to: who really runs the money machine?www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast

The latest rhetoric from Federal Reserve members is not changing policy uncertainty. Fed Governor Waller highlighted US labor market brittleness—their rather dour outlook supporting a December rate cut. Simultaneously, the cost of living (or, more broadly, affordability) is in political focus, and Fed Vice-Chair Jefferson acknowledged that by suggesting the pace of policy easing could slow.

Joe Quinlan, head of market strategy for Merrill Lynch and Bank of America Private Bank, says that the U.S. consumer higher-income households "are in great shape heading into 2026," and so long as the Boomers continue spending, the economy and stock market can roll along. Quinlan says that the economy can avoid a recession if the Federal Reserve can avoid policy mistakes, if the U.S. stays out of a difficult trade war and if the extraneous factors mostly stay at bay. Given what the market has weathered in 2025, Quinlan says there is reason to believe the rally can continue, even if results are muted a bit compared to the equity returns of the last three years. Chris Vermeulen, chief market strategist at The Technical Traders, says that investors should not be fighting current trends, but they should be getting cautious in a market where there's not a lot of upside left this year. He expects January to be a telling month for whether the rally can carry deep into 2026, and says that investors looking for bigger gains can still get in on the gold rally, which Vermeulen says still has 25 to 30 percent upside from current levels.   Sandra Block, contributing editor at Kiplinger talks about what she learned about dental care for retirees as she made her own transition toward retirement earlier this year, and the choices consumers face as they weigh Medicare options. And Mark Hamrick discusses a recent BankRate.com survey which found that about half of working American adults expect to be reliant on Social Security benefits to handle necessary expenses when they retire, but more than three-quarters of that working population worries that their promised benefits won't be paid when they reach retirement age.

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on what the Federal Reserve might do next.

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/3JTHQ36 Monday Market Recap and Economic Insights In this episode of Dividend Cafe, host Brian Szytel steps in for David, who is attending meetings in Boston. Brian provides a detailed market recap for Monday, November 17th. The DOW fell 557 points, while the Nasdaq and S&P both dropped about 0.8 to 0.9%. He discusses market shifts towards defensive stocks, notable dips in sectors like cryptocurrencies and quantum computing, and the overall volatility levels. He also touches on tariffs' impacts, proposed easing of capital requirements for banks, and better-than-expected Empire State Manufacturing Index numbers. Brian emphasizes the focus on bottom-up fundamentals in investment strategies amidst unpredictable macroeconomic conditions and notes upcoming economic data releases. 00:00 Introduction and Market Recap 00:52 Sector Performance and Market Trends 02:31 Impact of Tariffs and Economic Policies 03:37 Federal Reserve and Economic Indicators 05:11 AI Narrative and Investment Strategy 07:07 Upcoming Economic Data and Conclusion Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

Following hawkish commentary from six Federal Reserve presidents and promising indicators of October labour and consumer data, the market no longer expects a December rate cut. Meanwhile, recent technology stock performance suggests the market increasingly distinguishes between sustainable and speculative growth, and leverage. Over in Asia, China's stock market is supported by the country's leadership in electrification, more exports of high-technology products and services, a slowly appreciating Renminbi, and governmental efforts to promote equity investment and corporate governance reforms. This episode is presented by Mark Matthews, Head of Research Asia at Julius Baer.

John Chang breaks down the latest economic and market signals after a week of meetings in New York City. He explains how the temporary government funding deal both alleviates short-term pressures and extends broader uncertainty—impacting GDP, consumer spending, and investor sentiment. John also unpacks capital flows, interest-rate volatility tied to upcoming Federal Reserve changes, and why debt availability is improving even as risk factors persist. He contrasts Sun Belt oversupply with strong performance in low-construction markets, and ultimately argues that today's elevated cap rates and stable debt costs may represent a rare “sweet spot” for long-term investors.
