Send us a textIs the financial system broken—or just misunderstood? Economist and author Matt Sekerke joins FUTUREPROOF. to challenge conventional wisdom on money, banking, and policy. In his new book Making Money Work (co-authored with Steve Hanke), he argues that fiat money is still king, the Fed doesn't have as much power as we think, and the obsession with decentralization is distracting us from deeper issues. This episode dives into the real causes of inflation, how trade deficits actually work, and what it would take to restore trust in our economic institutions.Topics Discussed:Why the Global Financial Crisis broke the systemWhat monetary neutrality means—and why we've forgotten itThe role of broad money supply in predicting recessionsThe myth of crypto's superiority over fiatThe misunderstood mechanics of trade deficitsHow Trump-era tariffs reshaped global financeWhy China can't yet lead a global financial systemThe future of central banking and financial trust

While we're told by politicians that the ideas of Karl Marx are foreign and have no place in this country, history proves otherwise. Andrew Hartman shows that Marx and Marxism have had an a significant influence on the United States, from Marx's journalistic writings for the New York Daily Tribune, to the mass politics the Socialist and Communist Parties and the Wobblies, on the most radical edge of the New Deal, and the New Left, and finally with the return to Marx's ideas since the Global Financial Crisis. The post Fund Drive Special: Marx's Influence on America appeared first on KPFA.

The traditional correlations between some asset classes went haywire in April. Our analysts Serena Tang and Vishy Tirupattur discuss whether, in this environment, investors still consider U.S. Treasuries and the U.S. dollar to be reliable ports in a storm. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Serena Tang: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Serena Tang, Morgan Stanley's Chief Cross Asset Strategist.Vishy Tirupattur: And I'm Vishy Tirupattur, Morgan Stanley's Chief Fixed Income Strategist.Serena Tang: Today's topic, how investors' perceptions of safe havens are evolving, the impact on correlation between asset classes, and what all this means for your portfolio.It's Wednesday, May 7th at 10am in New York.April was a really challenging month, and some market moves were highly unusual. There was also a lot of investor concern whether U.S. Treasuries would continue to be a safe haven. In fact, this became one of the biggest market debates over the last few weeks.Vishy, let's start here. Prior to this recent sell off, foreign investors looked at U.S. assets as a safe haven. Why is that? And is it still the case now after this turbulent month?Vishy Tirupattur: So, Serena, if you just step back and look at it, U.S. enjoyed positive growth differentials and positive yield differentials with developed markets in the rest of the world. On top of that, there was a consistent policy – not necessarily infallible policy – but there's a consistent policy with a clear sense of demarcation between the executive and the central bank.All of this meant U.S. was a very attractive destination for foreign investor flows. Not only during periods of normalcy where U.S. equities really attracted inflows and performed really well, but also during the periods of economic stress; where even periods where the stress was coming from the U.S. itself, such as the Global Financial Crisis. This correlation between bonds and stocks held and U.S. Treasuries were the safe haven asset as the single largest and most liquid, and highly negatively correlated asset with risk assets. So that really worked.What we are now seeing is that growth differential I talked about may no longer be holding. You know, for these [20]25 and [20]26 U.S. and euro area growth basically will converge – and if our economists' expectations are right, in 2026, euro area will be growing at a faster pace than the U.S.So, growth differential argument is fading. And there are some questions about the continued Fed independence. So put all these things together. Some investors are beginning to question whether U.S. assets will continue to be safe haven assets.So let me come back to you Serena. There've been some recent market moves that have been extremely unusual. That's what created all this debate. In some of – a few days in April, during the periods of sell off, we had both stocks and bonds selling off. And it felt like cross-asset correlations have gone totally haywire.So, can you talk a little bit about which correlations have changed? Which correlations have held up in these sell off?Serena Tang: What was highly unusual, and I think reflects part of the debate on U.S. as a safe haven, is the correlation between U.S. equities and the dollar. It is very high at the moment, about sort of two standard deviation above the five-year average. While it's not unheard of for FX stocks correlation to be high, it is usually more associated with EM or emerging markets rather than DM or developed markets. As a means, investors now require higher risk premium for holding the equities, which is a risk asset; but also holding the dollar, which again, traditionally is not thought of as a risk asset.Vishy Tirupattur: So, Serena, how did the correlation between bonds and stocks hold up in this period?Serena Tang: Surprisingly, the correlation have really, really held up. Stocks and bond return correlation turned very negative during the sell off that we saw, which means that equity losses were actually offset by bond returns. Now, this isn't entirely true across the curve. You saw 2 Year Treasuries being a much effective diversifier than say the 30 Year Treasury. But all in all, I think it means bonds still work as a diversifier.Now on this point Vishy, how do you think policy will impact asset correlations we've been talking about, as well as the perception of U.S. assets as a safe haven.Vishy Tirupattur: So, as I said before, positive growth differentials fade, and we have negative growth differential. And if there are continued questions about the Fed's independence, so some of the attraction of U.S. assets, particularly U.S. Treasuries as a safe haven asset, will be challenged. But that challenge hits the practical reality of the size and the scale of the safe haven assets.So, if you look around, if you add the comparably rated European government bond market and compare that to the U.S. government bond market, the U.S. market is about 10 times as larger. So, more scale, more liquidity, and the ability to deploy capital during the periods of stress is clearly more in the U.S.So, this is what I would say. The status of U.S. dollar as the global reserve currency and U.S. Treasuries as the global safe haven asset have taken a bit of a ding, but not gone away.Serena Tang: Vishy, thanks so much for taking the time to talk.Vishy Tirupattur: Great speaking with you, Serena, as always.Serena Tang: And thanks for listening.

United States Treasury bonds have long been viewed as a highly liquid investment with very little risk of default. They have served as a safe haven for investors and also provided a benchmark interest rate for mortgages, car loans, corporate debt, and other bonds. Typically, Treasury bond yields fall at times of financial stress as demand for Treasury securities rise. But this time is different. Bond prices have fallen and yields have risen in the wake of the policy volatility of the past month. Jeremy Stein joins EconoFact Chats to discuss the reasons for the increase in interest rates, its possible consequences, and policies to calm the bond market. Jeremy is the Moise Y. Safra Professor of Economics at Harvard University. Previously, he served as a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve. He was also an advisor to the Treasury Secretary during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis.

Our Head of Corporate Credit Research analyzes the market response to President Trump's tariff reversal and explains why rallies do not always indicate an improvement in the overall environment.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley. ---- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, head of Corporate Credit Research at Morgan Stanley. Today I'm going to talk about the historic gains we saw this week in markets, and what they may or may not tell us. It's Friday April 11th at 2pm in London. Wednesday saw the S&P 500 gain 9.5 percent. It was the 10th best day for the U.S. equity market in the last century. Which raises a reasonable question: Is that a good thing? Do large one-day gains suggest further strength ahead – or something else? This is the type of Research question we love digging into. Pulling together the data, it's pretty straightforward to sort through those other banner days in stock market history going back to 1925. And what they show is notable. I'm now going to read to you when those large gains occurred, in order of the gains themselves. The best day in market history, March 15th 1933, when stocks soared over 16 per cent? It happened during the Great Depression. The 2nd best day, Oct 30th 1929. During the Great Depression. The 3rd best day – Great Depression. The fourth best – the first trading day after Germany invaded Poland in 1939 and World War 2 began. The 5th best day – Great Depression. The 6th Best – October 2008, during the Financial Crisis. The 7th Best – also during the Financial Crisis. The 8th best. The Great Depression again. The 9th best – The Great Depression. And 10th best? Well, that was Wednesday. We are in interesting company, to say the least. Incidentally, we stop here in the interest of brevity; this is a podcast known for being sharp and to the point. But if we kept moving further down the list, the next best 20 days in history all happen during either COVID, the 1987 Crash, a Recession, or a Depression. So why would that be? Why, factually, have some of the best days in market history occurred during some of the very worst of possible backdrops. In some cases, it really was a sign of a buying opportunity. As terrible as the Great Depression was – and as the grandson of a South Dakota farmer I heard the tales – stocks were very cheap at this time, and there were some very large rallies in 1932, 1933, or even 1929. During COVID, the gains on March 24th of 2020, which were associated with major stimulus, represented the major market low. But it can also be the case that during difficult environments, investors are cautious. And they are ultimately right to be cautious. But because of that fear, any good news – any spark of hope – can cause an outsized reaction. But it also sometimes doesn't change that overall challenging picture. And then reverses. Those two large rallies that happened in October of 2008 during the Global Financial Crisis, well they both happened around hopes of government and central bank support. And that temporarily lifted the market – but it didn't shift the overall picture. What does this mean for investors? On average, markets are roughly unchanged in the three months following some of these largest historical gains. But the range of what happens next is very wide. It is a sign, we think, that these are not normal times, and that the range of outcomes, unfortunately, has become larger. Thanks for listening.

Tom welcomes James Anderson back from SDBullion to discuss the significant developments in the precious metals market. James delves into the recent all-time highs for gold at $3,000 per ounce, highlighting its historical significance and the potential implications for investors. Anderson emphasizes that breaking through key price levels like $1,000, $2,000, and now $3,000 is not just a numerical milestone but often signals shifts in market dynamics. He recalls past volatility, such as the 2008 financial crisis when gold prices plummeted before rebounding, illustrating how these events shape investor behavior and market trends. James also touches on the broader economic context, including the role of central banks and the potential for a paradigm shift in asset valuation. Anderson suggests that gold is likely to reassert its dominance over traditional assets like stocks and bonds, driven by factors such as debt levels, inflation, and geopolitical tensions. Silver's recent market dynamics are explored as well, with Anderson noting significant physical withdrawals from London markets and the impact of tariffs on supply chains. He advises investors to monitor lease rates and physical inventories, warning against the risks of ETFs that may not fully reflect underlying asset availability. Anderson also addresses cultural differences in precious metals investment, highlighting how Eastern economies, with historical experiences of currency devaluation, tend to prioritize gold and silver as reliable stores of value. In contrast, Western investors often lack this historical perspective. Looking ahead, Anderson discusses potential future developments, including the possibility of a gold revaluation and the importance of long-term planning and diversification, advocating for a prudent allocation into precious metals.

The report provides policy makers and business owners insights from small business in the form of robust, clearly presented data which is consistent in its presentation of its data. That's why we're pleased to present this information to you on a regular basis on Small Biz Matters. In March 2025, for the first time in three years, the report offering a positive lift in the confidence index.

She joins us to unpack the findings of the March 2025 report for small business owners, their advisors and policy makers here on Small Biz Matters.

Is the data showing different situation for regional or Metro base businesses? What will Business NSW adjust in its priority issues when representing small businesses in NSW? How will they change their policy priorities?  What do you see as the main issues that Business NSW will be advocating for change for small businesses in the coming 12 months? Were you surprised by any of the findings? Sherman is an economist with experience in government, banking and consulting.

The Bank of Canada cut interest rates this week for the 7th consecutive time, lowering the overnight rate to 2.75%—a level we haven't seen since August 2022. But what really caught our attention wasn't just the cut itself—it was what Governor Tiff Macklem said at the press conference. Macklem explicitly stated that tariffs are restraining household spending intentions, and in response, the BOC is acting to stimulate the economy. That's right—he's openly admitting that the Bank is working to revive spending, which in Canada, largely means propping up the housing market. This isn't speculation. It's policy. And it's becoming increasingly clear that maintaining home prices is a top priority at the highest levels of government.But what does this mean for Canadians, especially those with mortgages renewing this year? We ran the numbers: a homeowner who took out an $800,000 mortgage in 2020 at 1.8% will see their monthly payments jump by $927 if they renew today at a 4.39% fixed rate. That's still 32% higher than what they were paying four years ago. While rate cuts are happening, they're nowhere near enough to ease the burden of higher borrowing costs—at least not yet. On the inflation front, early warning signs are flashing yellow. The Raw Materials Price Index is up 11% year-over-year, the highest jump since 2022. The Industrial Product Price Index is also rising, historically a leading indicator of core inflation. And with 20% of businesses planning to hike prices by 6% or more this year, it's possible that inflation could start creeping back up by Q4 2025. If that happens, we may not see as many rate cuts as the market is pricing in.The uncertainty around tariffs is also crushing consumer and business confidence. The Index of Consumer Confidence has now dropped below Global Financial Crisis levels, meaning people feel worse about the economy today than they did in 2008. And with nearly 63% of Canadians saying it's a bad time to make a major purchase, spending is slowing—bad news for businesses already holding back on investments. This hesitation is showing up in BC real estate sales as well. In February, home sales in BC fell 9.7% year-over-year, with average prices down 2.4%. The total sales volume hit just $4.8 billion, an 11.8% decline compared to last year. This is a major shift from the red-hot market we saw in 2021 and 2022, proving that even with rate cuts, buyers remain cautious.Lastly, we take a deep dive into the growing wealth divide. Despite economic uncertainty, household net worth in Canada surged 1.4% in Q4 2024, adding $236.3 billion in wealth and bringing the total to $17.5 trillion. Over the past year, wealth climbed by 7.3%, even after adjusting for inflation. But here's the catch: the top 20% of households now control 68% of all financial assets, a share that continues to grow. With interest rates coming down, asset holders will benefit the most, widening the wealth gap even further. _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

This year promises to be the most challenging and risky since the Global Financial Crisis! Europe is becoming more unstable politically at a time when vast amounts of government debts have to be financed/refinanced. The following negative trends are reasserting themselves: return to high inflation in the U.S., growing distance between Western World and BRICS+ countries as well as emerging conflicts between U.S. and European leadership. Like the 1970's gold and many commodities on price uptrends indicating increasing global instability and shortages. In particular, the U.S. is seriously challenged to find new rare earth materials to support the aviation, defense, battery, and IT industries as China controls 90%+ of these materials globally while restricting or disallowing their shipments to the U.S.

Why is it seemingly so difficult to find a human to speak to when having an issue with your bank or mobile phone company? And if you do, why do they sound like robots and/or aren't empowered to make a decision that will solve your problem? More broadly and worryingly, why is it nearly impossible to hold an individual accountable for decisions that led to a major societal or organisational calamity like the Global Financial Crisis, or the UK's Post Office Scandal? Something is going on, and today, we're going to talk about it. My guest is author Dan Davies, and we are talking about his latest book, The Unaccountability Machine - Why Big Systems Make Terrible Decisions and How the World Lost Its Mind. The book was long-listed for the Financial Times and Schroder's Business Books of the Year. Dan is a former investment banker turned author. His previous book, Lying for Money, was about the 2008 global financial crisis in which no banker went to jail. Dan became interested in why that was the case and to see if the same types of causes for that exist elsewhere. And they do. And it led him to write The Unaccountability Machine. Dan also has a wonderful term called the “accountability sink”, in which a human system delegates decision-making to a rule book rather than an individual, which means that when something goes wrong, no one is to blame. We get into all of that and so much more.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.theflyingfrisby.comIt's difficult to look beyond bitcoin and MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) at the moment, the later in particular. Nobody expected this, not even Chairman Michael Saylor. The returns have been astonishing. A couple of readers have reported to me that the gains have been life-changing. Wow! What an email to receive. It's easy to get hubristic when you have a big win. Instead, let us express gratitude for the good fortune that has smiled upon us. But look beyond we must, and so today I want to look at what I can only describe as a stealth bull market - natural gas. The price is creeping up, and few are talking about it.Natural gas is a bit like silver: if it can disappoint, it will. So we begin this piece with that reminder. Natural gas has broken the soul of many a wiser man than me.On the other hand, the next five years look pretty positive.It's obvious that the world is going to go nuclear now, and that Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are going to provide the power AI so badly needs. However, it will be a good five years before they on stream, so what is going to provide the power in the interim?The answer is natural gas.There is a problem, however: Supply.America's Gas Wells Are Drying UpThe North American Shale Gas Revolution dramatically changed the outlook for fossil fuels. Peak Oil was a huge theme leading up to the Global Financial Crisis, and then it disappeared, almost overnight.Between 2005 and 2020, US natural gas production grew by 90%, with shale accounting for the bulk of it. In 2005, shale gas made up about 5% of US natural gas production; by 2020, it was over 75%. By 2017, the US had become a net exporter, especially of more transportable liquefied natural gas (LNG).The price, meanwhile, plummeted. Good for consumers!Here's the long-term chart so you can see those price declines since 2005. From almost $16 to $3.50 today (as low as $1.50 earlier this year, where it has formed an attractive double bottom - you know how I like those).Obviously, we in the UK and Europe pay way more for our natural gas than they do in North America. It's so dumb; we have enough to supply ourselves in the UK. But we don't because fracking is deemed environmentally damaging. So we import gas from abroad, which is produced by, you guessed it, fracking. I guess if it is fracked somewhere else, it's less harmful. Not Then there are the transport costs and the environmental costs that come with that.Anyway …Spanning Ohio, New York, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania, Marcellus is the largest natural gas-producing field in the United States, contributing over 25% of production. In 2010, output was 2 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d). By 2023, it exceeded 35 bcf/d, but production has been falling for almost a year now. We are currently at 26.7 bcf/dThe next largest is Haynesville, in Louisiana, Texas, and parts of Arkansas. Extraction costs here are higher, and production stands at 16 bcf/d, but it is slowing here too, according to analysts Goehring & Rozencwajg.One of the few areas of growth is the Permian Basin, in Texas and New Mexico, currently around 23 bcf/d, but even there, growth is modest.Now, it might be that the reason for stagnating growth is low prices - they often are - and higher prices will result in increased production. They usually do. That is the way with commodities.But natural gas prices have already doubled this year, and they keep on creeping up.The other interpretation is that the North American Shale Gas Revolution has passed its peak.With America's new president, you can expect plenty more investment in production than under the Democrats, and that should bring the price down, but the gas price has actually risen - from $2.70 to $3.50 - since the election.It might also be that Russian gas taps come back online to the EU sometime next year, which means America will lose its new market.But all of this conjecture is factored into the price. And that is rising.How to invest all this

I think that's the ultimate superpower because, in the end, the only minds we have control over changing are our own. The very best we could do for others is to inspire them. Now you have to ask the question, well, how do you inspire somebody? And I think that's done with love.Crowd investing offers a unique opportunity to shape the future while achieving financial goals. Paul Lovejoy, Principal Investment Advisor of Stakeholder Enterprise, is passionate about this transformative investment approach. His personal journey, marked by financial trauma during the 2008 crisis, led him to discover the power of social enterprises and crowdfund investing.Paul shared how his experiences inspired a shift in his career. “Through a dedication to practice personal development, I started to heal. And healing meant I needed to face my own past and my financial trauma,” he explained. This journey not only led him to confront his challenges but also to embrace a new way of investing. He described how platforms like SMBX and GroundFloor enable investors to support small businesses and local economies while earning returns.Paul's strategy emphasizes the importance of income-producing assets. “There's no greater way to build wealth than through income-producing assets,” he noted. By investing in offerings with regular income streams, such as short-term real estate loans on GroundFloor or local business notes via SMBX, investors can achieve steady returns while creating positive social impact.Paul also highlighted the broader implications of investment choices. “Where we place our capital really matters,” he said, urging investors to consider how their investments shape the world. His approach balances financial returns with a commitment to community empowerment, making impact crowdfunding both rewarding and sustainable.For those looking to fully integrate crowd investments into their portfolios, Paul advocates seeking professional guidance. “You don't want to go this alone,” he advised, stressing the importance of strategy and diversification.Today's episode underscores that impact crowdfunding is not just about funding businesses—it's about shaping a better future while achieving personal financial goals.tl;dr:* Paul Lovejoy shared his passion for investing, sparked by childhood curiosity and personal experiences.* Today's episode revealed Paul's transformative journey from financial trauma to embracing impact investing.* Paul highlighted peer-to-peer lending and Regulation Crowdfunding as tools for creating social and financial change.* Paul's approach emphasizes investing in income-producing assets to build wealth and sustain communities.* He advocates guiding and inspiring others with love, respect, and thoughtful questions to empower success.How to Develop Inspiring with Love As a SuperpowerPaul Lovejoy's superpower is the ability to inspire others through love, acceptance, and respect. By fostering an environment of understanding and encouragement, Paul helps people embrace challenges, explore new possibilities, and achieve their goals.Paul shared a touching story about his younger son, who aspired to join his school's basketball team despite lacking prior experience. Instead of offering advice, Paul asked thoughtful questions to guide his son to discover his own solutions. By encouraging self-reflection, Paul empowered his son to practice, gain confidence, and actively work toward his goal. Seeing his son practice with friends and an assistant coach underscored the transformative power of inspiration.Tips for Developing the Superpower:* Cultivate Acceptance and Respect: Create spaces where people feel valued for who they are.* Ask Thoughtful Questions: Guide others to discover their own paths rather than dictating solutions.* Let Go of Blame: Recognize and release anger or blame to open yourself to love and acceptance.* Embrace Humility: Focus on being the best version of yourself rather than trying to control others.By following Paul's example and advice, you can make inspiring with love a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfilePaul Lovejoy (he/him):Principal Investment Advisor, Stakeholder EnterpriseAbout Stakeholder Enterprise: Stakeholder Enterprise is a Registered Investment Advisory firm and home of the Crowd Investor Program, a three-part initiative to ethically build wealth through private market crowd investing.

For the next 8 years, he stayed in the real estate industry suffering in silence. In 2016, he began practicing personal development and discovered that personal finance has more to do with personal growth than actual finance. His journey of personal development led him to a career in wealth strategy. It was this career shift that gave him the knowledge to understand the Global Financial Crisis of 2008, the unethical nature of the financial service industry and the regenerative power of crowd-sourced financing. In 2022, Paul opened the doors to the nation's first crowd investment advisory, Stakeholder Enterprise, offering financial plans to compassionate people seeking financial stability through ethical wealth-building practices.Linkedin: linkedin.com/in/paul-lovejoy/Instagram Handle: @paul.lovejoySupport Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

As someone who entered the venture industry in the wake of the Dot-com crash, I have a deep appreciation for new managers, their entry point into the industry, and how that shapes their world view. For me, it was pure carnage for the first few years of “investing”. I put that in quotes because it was mostly triaging the portfolio and trying to assess which companies were worth saving and which were destined for the Dot-com dust bin. Shortly after stepping out on my own to start OATV, another bubble burst with the Global Financial Crisis™. My trips to NYC for board meetings were often capped off with midnight strolls through Zuccatti Park to witness the occupation of Occupy Wall Street. The markets were in free fall, checkbooks closed, and founders, once again, were at the mercy of the market. But easy times never make for strong people and that's why I was excited to sit down with Turner Novak when we both found ourselves in Columbia, MO for the Main Street Summit a few weeks back. His is a “chronically online” story of discovery and persistence into the world of startups and VCs. Through the use of memes, social networks, and data, Turner was able to build an audience and a “fantasy portfolio” to land himself an internship and, eventually, a fund of his own. Turner came into his own as an investor in the frothy times of the not-too-distant past. With wide eyes and fresh funds to deploy at his newly formed firm, Banana Capital, he set to work deploying near the peak of the ZIRP bubble. I thought it would be fun to unpack the experience of someone who built their brand online, from the midwest, and began deploying into a market that's rules and dynamics quickly changed on them. With that as the goal, this one did not disappoint. A few takeaways: - Turner's exposure to entrepreneurship began early with his mother running a small wedding gown business. Turner developed an interest in technology and the internet during his teenage years, teaching himself programming.- Turner's path into venture capital began in college, where he joined the investment club and got hooked on investing. After working in commercial lending and for a nonprofit endowment, he started building a “fantasy VC portfolio” on Twitter, which helped him break into the industry. His visibility on social media eventually led to his first job in venture capital.- Turner's largest learning from the last few years in venture is the importance of entry points — getting in at the right valuation can make or break an investment. While many aspects of startups are unpredictable, controlling the price you pay is crucial for long-term success.This was a really fun one and I think Turner has a bright future ahead of him as an investor and fund builder. The easy times may be over, but I can see his strength already showing through as he navigates this new reality. I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording it. PS - Today is my birthday and all I want is for you to A) subscribe to the INDIE YouTube channel (just hit that subscribe button) and B) send the next category defining company our way. Is that too much to ask?!?

Today we are introduced to the world of Eurodollars and their critical role in shaping the global financial system. Our guide is Jeff Snider, of Eurodollar University - a street smart scholar and former investment manager. We begin by dispelling myths about the evolution of money from the gold standard to ledger-based systems, and discover how Eurodollars emerged as a dominant force in international trade and banking. We attempt to make sense of hazy ideas like global reserve currency, the impact of central banks, and orient ourselves toward the future of monetary systems. Stay tuned - this is the first of three planned conversations with Jeff. Next time, we will try to look at alternative explanations for the Global Financial Crisis and then we'll see what the future has in store in terms of monetary evolution.

It's November 2010 on the Goldman Sachs trading floor in New York City. Just two years removed from the depths of the Global Financial Crisis, but you would never know it. The stock market has nearly doubled in the last 18 months, the Federal Reserve has freshly announced its second round of Quantitative Easing, and it feels like one big party on Wall Street. [from the opening paragraph of the article, Trading Derivatives and the Shame-Based Fear of Being Ordinary]. In this episode, Hari interviews Michael on the reflection Michael wrote sharing his experiences on the trading floor. They discuss the insatiable need for admiration, shame as a fuel, our loss of freedom, how to be humble, the movement toward authenticity, and how to overcome the shame-based fear of being ordinary.Links:www.upbuild.comEnneagram Workshop (October 5-6) Upbuild Coaching Training (six-month program, starts in October) Coaching Skills for Work and Life Workshop (September 25) Instagram: @upbuildnycFacebook: UpbuildLinkedIn: Upbuild

Yesterday I had a private conversation with housing analyst Melody Wright. In it, she revealed how shocked she is by the latest stats that show how the housing market is starting to unravel. Record-low transactions during what is normally the business time of the year for home sales. Inventory up nearly 30% year over year nationally. And of ever greater concern, spiking delinquencies -- in some cases, at rates worse than seen during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. In Melody's words this is the turning point and "winter is coming" for the housing market. Not that you'd know it by looking at the median existing home price, which just hit another all-time high. Is the country really sleepwalking into another housing crisis? We'll find out now, as Melody kindly accepted my ask for her to join me today for an impromptu discussion on this important topic.
