James Harris built his real estate career from scratch after relocating from the UK to Los Angeles. His latest venture is Breezy, an AI tool for real estate agents designed to reduce the administrative load that eats into most agents' days. Breezy recently raised a $10 million pre-seed round led by Ribbit Capital with participation from Fifth Wall, DST Global, and others. Over the past decade he's closed more than $6 billion in luxury residential sales across Beverly Hills and the Platinum Triangle, and appeared on Bravo's Million Dollar Listing LA for seven seasons spanning over nine years before stepping away to focus on his next chapter.

This episode takes a unique approach to ag finance: “Think like a lender. Act like an investor. Farm like an operator.” Jake explains how sophisticated lenders and institutional investors evaluate farming operations differently than producers often evaluate themselves. The discussion challenges farmers to step back and ask an important question: “If your farm walked into your office asking for a loan… would you approve it?” We break down: What lenders actually look at first when evaluating an operation What separates a “bankable” farm from a risky one Why consistency and decision-making discipline matter more than acres alone How lenders think in terms of risk while farmers often think in bushels The conversation introduces a practical framework for understanding farm financial health through three key buckets: Liquidity — Can you survive? Working capital Cash flow flexibility Burn rate management Equity — Can you withstand shocks? Land values Leverage ratios Collateral strength Efficiency — Can you win long-term? Cost structure ROI on assets Decision quality Jake also explains why institutional investors continue to value farmland as an asset class, what they see in agricultural real estate, and whether current farmland prices are sustainable. Additional topics include: Whether farmland is overpriced, fairly valued, or still undervalued What could actually cause land values to decline Why farmland may remain strong while farm cash flow weakens Long-term land financing versus operating lines Flexible financing structures and matching debt to asset life How growth-oriented operations approach lending differently What top-tier operators are doing differently in today's economy Conversations successful operators are having with lenders right now The episode also explores how data, performance analysis, and decision-making tools used in athletics and business could transform financial management in agriculture.

In this episode, Kate Webber, Chief Solutions Officer at the PRI, is joined by Claudia Wearmouth, Global Head of Responsible Investment at Columbia Threadneedle Investments, and Travis Antoniono, Investment Director for Sustainable Investments at CalPERS.Together, they explore how responsible investment is being applied in practical, financially material ways, including how it is embedded into investment processes, how transparent dialogue between asset owners and managers supports long-term outcomes, and the role evidence plays in sustainable investment decision-making.Overview:Responsible investment is increasingly moving from a specialist function to a core part of investment decision-making. Across public and private markets, sustainability and governance considerations are being integrated into due diligence, portfolio construction, stewardship and long-term risk management.This episode explores how investors are building practical frameworks around financial materiality, balancing quantitative tools with qualitative judgement, and adapting to rapidly evolving risks such as climate change and AI disruption.Detailed coverage:Embedding sustainability into investment processesBoth guests explain how sustainability considerations are now integrated throughout the investment lifecycle, from initial due diligence through to ongoing monitoring and exit decisions.Financial materiality and fiduciary dutyThey explore how responsible investment supports long‑term, risk‑adjusted returns and helps meet fiduciary responsibilities to beneficiaries.The role of dedicated expertiseTravis Antoniono discusses embedding dedicated sustainability specialists directly into investment due diligence teams, while Claudia Wearmouth outlines how sustainable investment analysts can better work alongside fundamental research teams.Data, evidence and judgementThe conversation explores how responsible investment relies on a growing evidence base. While data is still evolving, investors increasingly combine quantitative tools with qualitative insight and real-world case studies.Explore real-world examples of how investors are combining data and judgement in practice in the PRI's investment case database: https://public.unpri.org/investment-tools/investment-case-databaseHow AI is changing investment researchAI is beginning to transform investment analysis itself, helping teams assess sector disruption, and emerging financial impacts more dynamically.Building organisational buy-inBoth guests highlight that embedding responsible investment depends on strong leadership and clear direction, with teams working together to apply it in practice.The importance of asset owner–manager relationshipsTransparency, trust and detailed communication are highlighted as essential for aligning investment objectives, stewardship expectations and long-term strategy execution.Practical lessons for investorsThe episode concludes with practical recommendations on how investors can improve governance and decision-making through more consistent use of evidence and ongoing dialogue.Chapters:00:08 - Introduction and the investment case for responsible investment01:29 - Embedding sustainability into investment processes05:14 - Sustainability, fiduciary duty and long-term returns10:56 - Building the evidence base for responsible investment13:39 - How AI is changing investment analysis20:15 - Creating organisational buy-in and investment alignment22:18 - Climate solutions, strategy and total portfolio thinking27:12 - Asset owner and investment manager collaboration35:15 - Key lessons on transparency, trust and detail37:04 - Practical recommendations for investorsDisclaimer:This podcast and material referenced herein is provided for information only.

India has 20–25 years. After that, the demographic window closes. That is the central claim of this conversation. India is racing to do in 50–60 years what the West did in 150–200. To grow rich before it grows old. To become a developed economy while still a democracy — something almost no large country has ever managed. In this Bharatvaarta conversation, Roshan Cariappa sits down with Neelkanth Mishra — Member of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, Chief Economist at Axis Bank, and one of India's most respected voices on the economy — to ask the question that very few people are asking honestly: Can India actually pull this off? Neelkanth walks us through the real economics of India's next 25 years. The petrol-dollar problem. Why India's inequality is rising — and why that is not the same as repression. Why most countries that grew rich first were not democracies. Why the next leg of India's growth must happen at the state and district level, not at the Centre. Why cities matter more than anyone admits. Why fixing education and healthcare is politically thankless but economically essential. This isn't political commentary. It's an economist's view of what's at stake. We discuss: - Why the Prime Minister's recent remarks on petrol, diesel and foreign travel matter more than they sound - The "grow rich before growing old" framework — and how much time India actually has - Why most countries that got rich first were autocracies — and what that means for democratic India - The land–labour–capital–entrepreneurship lens, and which two are stuck - Why states (not the Centre) hold the keys to India's next leg of growth - The "optimal crisis" theory — why nations don't reform without one - Why inequality is rising, and when it becomes dangerous - Funding cities, urbanisation, and the silent reform India keeps postponing - AI, productivity, and India's race against demographic time ═══════════════════════════════ ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS (ALL IMPORTANT CHAPTERS) ═══════════════════════════════ 00:00 – India's race against the demographic clock

Send us Fan MailFor decades, value-based care has been healthcare's promised future. Most health systems have stayed in upside-only arrangements, and the data infrastructure needed to manage real risk has never quite caught up to the ambition.That may finally be changing. David Snow, Chairman & CEO of Cedar Gate Technologies, an IQVIA business, joins host David E. Williams to discuss why CMS's first mandatory bundled payment model signals the end of voluntary experimentation, and why the fragmented data problem that has undermined value-based care for a generation is only now finding a real solution.

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ sits down with David Trainer, CEO of New Constructs, a financial technology firm using machine learning and natural language processing to expose the accounting distortions buried in corporate filings. David pulls back the curtain on decades of Wall Street corruption — from two sets of earnings numbers (one for retail, one for institutions) to the legal practice of front-running client order flow. He explains how he built a robo-analyst to do what human analysts won't: read every footnote of every filing to reveal the truth about corporate profitability. David also shares how Google Cloud chose New Constructs to build the first-ever AI investing agent, and why he believes clean, transparent data is the best defense against both Wall Street manipulation and future AI bad actors. Four Key Takeaways: The system was designed to serve Wall Street, not investors (4:11) David witnessed firsthand at Credit Suisse how analysts maintained two sets of numbers — artificially low estimates for retail investors to manufacture "beats," and real numbers shared only with institutional clients. Wall Street research analysts don't generate revenue for their firms; they exist to facilitate investment banking relationships, meaning they're incentivized to stay bullish regardless of reality. What's unethical isn't always unlawful (8:37) Regulation Fair Disclosure — the law requiring companies to disclose material information to all investors simultaneously — wasn't enacted until the year 2000, after the tech bubble burst. Before that, selective tipping was perfectly legal. And today, payment for order flow (selling your trade data to firms like Citadel before your order is filled) remains legal — a structural advantage that benefits Wall Street at retail investors' expense. 96% of Wall Street analyst ratings are "buy" or "hold" (11:28) Only about 4% of stocks covered by Wall Street analysts receive a sell rating. Trainer uses this stat to illustrate a core conflict of interest: analysts are paid by bankers to say good things about companies. Expecting honest sell-side research is like expecting a car salesman to talk down their own inventory. New Constructs + Google Cloud built the first AI agent for investing (22:59) Google Cloud selected New Constructs — because of their clean, auditable data — to build Finsights, an AI chatbot that answers sophisticated investing questions: which companies are overstating earnings, which stocks are most likely to miss next quarter, which have the most off-balance-sheet debt. Every data point can be traced back to the original corporate filings. Their Core Earnings Leaders Index outperformed the S&P 500 by 900 basis points in 2025. Quote of the Show (12:24):"Expecting Wall Street to talk bad about a stock is like expecting a car salesman to talk bad about their cars." — David Trainer Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

In this episode, Cambria Allen-Ratzlaff, Interim CEO of the PRI, is joined by Michael Benedict Yamoah (Vice President, Stewardship Director, EOS at Federated Hermes), Chris Jurgens (Senior Director, Omidyar Network), and Oumou Ly (Non-resident Research Fellow, UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity) to explore how investors should respond to AI.Building on Part 1, this episode moves from theory to practice, outlining how investors can assess AI governance, identify risks across portfolios, and begin engaging with companies in a fast-moving and uncertain landscape.Overview:AI is already reshaping portfolios, but most investors are still early in understanding how to manage the risks. This episode focuses on practical steps, from governance and engagement to tools, research, frameworks and real-world examples of leading practice.A key message is that there is no perfect framework yet. Instead, investors must start now, build capability over time, and engage continuously as the technology evolves.Detailed coverage:What good AI governance looks likeAt a minimum, companies must comply with regulation and establish clear internal policies. Strong governance goes further, embedding AI into enterprise risk management, assigning board-level responsibility, and ensuring oversight across the organisation.Beyond compliance: lifecycle thinkingInvestors are encouraged to assess the full lifecycle of AI systems, from development and deployment to real-world impacts, liabilities and societal consequences.AI risk is dynamicUnlike other technologies, AI systems evolve post-deployment. This requires continuous monitoring, disclosure and adaptation, rather than one-off assessments.Examples of leading practiceCompanies such as Anthropic and Microsoft are highlighted for transparency, investor engagement and responsible AI frameworks. Across the ecosystem, progress is being driven by collaboration between companies, investors and policymakers.The importance of infrastructure and ecosystemsAI is not just about software, it spans chips, data centres and energy systems. Managing its risks requires coordination across the full value chain.Practical starting points for investorsInvestors should map where AI sits in their portfolios, identify key use cases, and assess associated risks such as cybersecurity, compliance and liability.Tools, frameworks and collaborationA growing ecosystem of resources, from investor coalitions to research frameworks, is emerging to support engagement and analysis.A marathon, not a sprintAI governance is an ongoing process. Investors must build long-term capability, stay engaged in dialogue, and avoid waiting for perfect solutions before acting.Start now, signal intentEven simple engagement, asking basic governance questions, can send a strong signal to companies that responsible AI matters.Chapters:00:08 - Introduction: from AI risk to investor action01:00 - What good AI governance looks like03:05 - Internal policies, risk management and board oversight05:00 - Lifecycle thinking and real-world impacts08:17 - Examples of leading practice in AI governance10:30 - Defining and understanding AI risk13:15 - Mapping AI use cases across portfolios15:39 - Practical tools and investor resources19:44 - Why AI is a marathon, not a sprint22:24 - Final takeaways: start now and engageFurther reading: Anthropic labor market impacts, Microsoft transparency reportDisclaimer:This podcast and material referenced herein is provided for information only.

In this episode, I speak with Luke Sarsfield of Ridgepost Capital about what's actually changing in private markets — and what isn't.At the center of our conversation is a tension that's easy to miss: investors in private markets aren't just dealing with slower distributions or questions about liquidity. They're adjusting to a broader mix of investors that are participating, but don't behave the same way when markets turn.We also discuss:• How institutional investors are thinking about the flow of capital — with distributions taking longer and recycling becoming less predictable• What the last real stress test for private markets during the financial crisis taught investors — and what's different this time• Why more than 80 percent of capital gets invested in 10 to 15 percent of private companies and what it says that the top financial firms “climb over each other” to finance and invest in them.• How investors should think about putting money to work during dislocations, a fundamental tenet of investing — and why some are leaning in while others hesitate• What risks may be building outside of private credit that investors seem to be ignoring

In this episode, Cambria Allen-Ratzlaff, Interim CEO of the PRI, brings together Michael Benedict Yamoah, Vice President, Stewardship Director, EOS at Federated Hermes, Chris Jurgens, Senior Director, Omidyar Network, and Oumou Ly, Non-resident Research Fellow, UC Berkeley Centre for Long-Term Cybersecurity to explore why AI is emerging as a critical sustainability issue for investors.The first in a two-part series, this episode examines the scale and speed of AI adoption, its implications for climate, labour, security and long-term financial stability, and what it will take for investors to get ahead of a transition that is already underway.OverviewAI is rapidly reshaping the global economy, with unprecedented levels of capital investment, adoption and market impact. While much of the focus has been on AI as an investment opportunity, this episode reframes it as a system-wide issue with implications for climate, labour, security and long-term financial stability.The discussion highlights a growing gap between investor awareness and capability, as well as the need for stronger coordination, clearer frameworks and more robust governance to manage AI-related risks.Detailed coverageAI as a system-wide investment issueAI is not confined to the tech sector, it is a whole-economy force that will impact portfolios across industries, making it relevant for all long-term investors.The business case for responsible AIResponsible AI practices are increasingly linked to performance, helping companies build trust, avoid costly failures and strengthen long-term returns.Systemic risks: energy, labour and infrastructureAI is driving rapid growth in data centres and physical infrastructure, with significant implications for energy demand, emissions, water use and local communities.Security and regulatory riskAI is accelerating cyber threats while also becoming a focus for regulators globally. This creates new layers of compliance, liability and geopolitical risk for investors.The investor capability gapWhile interest in AI is growing, many investors lack the expertise, frameworks and internal capacity to assess and engage on AI-related risks effectively.From developers to deployersEngagement is currently focused on major AI developers, but risks and opportunities are increasingly concentrated in how AI is deployed across sectors.Governance as the central leverAcross all perspectives, governance emerges as the most critical tool, ensuring boards and management teams are equipped to navigate uncertainty, balance trade-offs and make long-term decisions.A transition moment for investorsAI represents a new phase of technological disruption, similar to past waves like telecoms and big data, but with broader and faster-reaching consequences.Looking aheadPart two will focus on the practical side, what investors can do, the tools and frameworks emerging, and where collective action can drive the most impact.DisclaimerThis podcast and material referenced herein is provided for information only.

A note: this conversation was recorded on March 17, 2025, so any references to pending legislation reflect the state of the debate at that time. The debate over institutional ownership of single-family rental (SFR) homes has moved from industry trade publications to the floor of the U.S. Congress. A bill currently working its way through the legislative process would restrict large investors from buying additional SFR homes and require build-to-rent (BTR) communities to be sold off within seven years of completion. But what does the research actually say? Josh Coven, Assistant Professor of Real Estate at Baruch College's Zicklin School of Business, joined the New Home Insights Podcast to walk through his findings — and the data challenges some of the most widely held assumptions about institutional investors, housing prices, and rental supply.

In this episode, Kate Webber, Chief Solutions & Technology Officer at the PRI, is joined by Aniket Shah, Managing Director at Jefferies, to examine the core purpose of responsible investing and what it truly means in practice.Together, they explore whether the industry has lost sight of its original mission, how investors should think about real-world risks and opportunities, and why long-term thinking remains central to delivering value for beneficiaries.OverviewResponsible investing has evolved significantly over the past two decades, but questions remain around its core purpose. Is it about solving global challenges, or simply about making better investment decisions?This episode reframes responsible investing as fundamentally about improving returns by incorporating factors often overlooked in traditional analysis, particularly externalities and intangible assets.The discussion also highlights the importance of grounding investment decisions in the realities of the real economy, rather than abstract frameworks or idealised outcomes.Detailed coverageRe-centering the purpose of responsible investingAniket argues that responsible investing is, at its core, about enhancing risk-adjusted returns. While impact and broader societal goals matter, the mainstream role of investors is to make better decisions by incorporating a wider set of financially relevant factors.Externalities and intangiblesThe conversation explores how climate change and other externalities are increasingly being priced into markets, alongside intangible factors such as governance and human capital. These elements, while harder to measure, are critical drivers of long-term performance.The real economy and long-term valueInvestors are encouraged to look beyond financial markets and consider how businesses operate in the real world. Understanding how technologies, energy systems and structural shifts evolve over time is key to identifying long-term opportunities.Avoiding dogma and embracing nuanceA key theme is the need for investors to stay informed, avoid overly simplistic frameworks, and continually reassess their assumptions. Engaging with opposing viewpoints is highlighted as a valuable way to strengthen decision-making.Rethinking KPIs and performance metricsRather than focusing solely on traditional ESG metrics, the episode emphasises the importance of human capital - including employee engagement, retention and culture - as leading indicators of resilience and performance.The role of investors todayUltimately, investors' responsibility is to deliver for their beneficiaries. By incorporating long-term risks and opportunities into their analysis, they can contribute to a more resilient and forward-looking financial system.To learn more, see our Investment case database here:  https://public.unpri.org/investment-tools/investment-case-databaseChapters00:00 – Introduction and guest overview01:45 – What is the true purpose of responsible investing?03:30 – Externalities, intangibles and investment decision-making06:30 – Real economy shifts and long-term investing10:45 – How fiduciaries should approach complex risks15:00 – Avoiding dogma and improving decision-making18:30 – The value of debate and diverse perspectives20:45 – Rethinking KPIs: human capital and culture24:30 – Linking performance to long-term resilience26:30 – Final reflections: the responsibility of investorsDisclaimerThis podcast and material referenced herein is provided for information only.

Brad Swail welcomes Charles Blain—Houston Chronicle contributor, Manhattan Institute City Journal writer, Fox 26 panelist, author of the forthcoming The Brotherhood of Facts (Johns Hopkins Press, spring 2027), and founder of Local Insights.  Charles shares how an accidental AI-assisted review of Houston Metro contract documents uncovered a $215k-to-$4.2M ballooning deal tied to board chair conflicts—ultimately leading to cancellation after public pushback. He explains how Local Insights aggregates Texas local government data (budgets, bonds, agendas, campaign finance, property records, business ownerships, jail stats, court filings) into searchable dashboards, cross-references, trend alerts, and interrogatable interfaces—empowering everyday citizens, journalists, and activists to hold officials accountable without needing newsroom resources.  They discuss AI's role in leveling the civic playing field: parsing dense agendas, flagging anomalies, aiding open records fights, and educating users on government mechanics (strong vs. weak mayor systems, charters, CAFRs vs. budgets). Charles critiques Trump-era talk of banning institutional homebuyers (mostly mom-and-pop investors, not mega-corps) and argues Texas should focus on permitting reform, standardized processes, property tax relief (e.g., incentives for first-time buyers near aging parents), and deeper transparency mandates to boost affordability.  Essential for anyone tracking Texas local governance, transparency, housing policy, or AI in public accountability.

The Institutional Investor piece recounts how JPMorgan Chase faced intense scrutiny over its long relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, who was awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges when he died in 2019. Citing a New York Times investigation, the article explains that JPMorgan's compliance staff had recommended ending Epstein's accounts after his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, but senior management resisted and kept him as a profitable private-banking client until 2013. Internal debate over whether to cut ties was reportedly heated, with at least one compliance officer quitting and top executives ultimately overruling warnings about legal and reputational risk.The article also highlights how Epstein leveraged relationships inside the firm — particularly with executives like Jes Staley, who helped bring Epstein connections and business — to maintain his access despite red flags. It notes that Epstein's network helped JPMorgan win wealthy clients and deals, which complicated internal efforts to drop him. JPMorgan publicly pushed back against the Times report, with spokespeople denying senior leaders overruled compliance to retain Epstein. The bank eventually ended the relationship amid heightened regulatory scrutiny and changes in leadership, but the episode raised questions about how Wall Street institutions balance risk, reputation, and money.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

How do the world's smartest institutional investors actually allocate capital?In this episode, we sit down with Nolan, a veteran CIO with over two decades of experience allocating capital for endowments, foundations, family offices, and healthcare systems — overseeing more than $90B in assets across public and private markets.We go deep into how institutions think about risk, liquidity, and long-term returns, why venture capital remains a power-law game, and how investors are navigating today's biggest shifts — from AI and private credit to diversification risks and market cycles.This conversation pulls back the curtain on how capital is really deployed behind closed doors — especially in a world where exits are slower, fundraising is harder, and everyone is asking whether we're closer to 1997… or 1999.⭐ Sponsored by Podcast10x - Podcasting agency for VCs - https://podcast10x.comWhat you'll learn in this episode:- How institutions decide how much risk they can truly take- Why venture capital allocations haven't disappeared — but have slowed- Private credit vs venture capital: how LPs actually think about the trade-off- How AI is reshaping portfolios across public and private markets- Why diversification matters more now than during bull markets- What CIOs are watching for as we head into 2026Whether you're a fund manager, LP, founder, or just curious about how institutional money really works, this episode offers rare, first-principles insight into long-term capital allocation.(00:00) - Podcast Teaser: Risk, Returns, and Venture Capital (00:48) - Introduction to Nolan Bean and FEG Investment Advisors (02:20) - Nolan's Career Journey: From Associate to CIO (03:16) - What is FEG and the Outsourced CIO (OCIO) Model?

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Josh Young to the show. Josh Young is Chief Investment Officer & Founder, Bison Interests. The interview explores the current landscape of the global energy market, focusing on geopolitical risks, supply and demand dynamics, and investment opportunities in the oil and gas sector. Young provides a comprehensive analysis of potential geopolitical tensions, particularly surrounding Iran and the Middle East. He suggests that the current situation presents significant risks to global oil supply, with potential disruptions ranging from 1 to 20 million barrels per day. The geopolitical uncertainty is largely underappreciated by the market, creating potential opportunities for investors who understand these dynamics. On the supply side, Josh highlights critical challenges in oil production. He notes that companies like Continental Resources are reducing drilling activities at current price levels, indicating that sustainable oil production may require prices in the $80-$90 range. The industry is experiencing a significant downcycle in both offshore and onshore exploration and development, with exploration success rates declining and existing reserves being depleted. Demand dynamics appear more robust than many analysts expect. Young argues that government stimulus, particularly in an election year, and emerging market growth could support oil consumption. He suggests that a potential economic slowdown might not necessarily reduce oil demand, as increased return-to-office trends could offset potential consumption reductions. Regarding investment strategies, Young cautions against large integrated oil companies trading at high valuations. Instead, he recommends smaller producers with clean balance sheets, debt reduction potential, and attractive valuation metrics. He emphasizes the importance of companies that can pay down debt, buy back shares, and potentially offer high dividends. Young also discusses his Bison Insights substack, where he shares investment ideas in the energy sector. He believes the current market presents unique opportunities, drawing parallels to previous commodity cycles and highlighting the potential for significant returns in carefully selected energy investments.

Chris Whalen, chairman of Whalen Global Advisors and author of The Institutional Risk Analyst blog, joins The Julia La Roche Show for "The Wrap with Chris Whalen." In this episode, Whalen calls Trump's $200 billion mortgage bond buyback idea "idiotic" and says institutional investors aren't the problem with housing - the Fed buying 30-year mortgages and driving up home prices 50% in five years was the real culprit. He explains the Fed has been "operating like a hedge fund" with dangerous variable duration securities that won't pay off for over 10 years. On Venezuela, Whalen says it should have happened long ago - the Iranians had offensive missiles there that could strike the US, and he's astounded previous administrations tolerated it. He warns AI hype is now a systemic risk to tech valuations, with Oracle's Larry Ellison risking his company to chase the crowd, and predicts 2025's "magical year with no apparent cost for risk" is ending as banks prepare for consumer credit deterioration in 2026-27.Links:    The Institutional Risk Analyst: https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/  https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/post/theira796Inflated book (2nd edition): https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/inflated-r-christopher-whalen/1146303673Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/rcwhalen    Website: https://www.rcwhalen.com/   Timestamps:00:00 Intro and welcome Chris Whalen00:48 Non-farm payrolls report - weakness supports those saying economy is weak01:46 Rate cuts likely this year on short end, but long-term rates not coming down02:45 Trump's $200 billion mortgage bond idea - Chris calls it "idiotic"07:25 Housing correction already building in weaker markets08:24 Institutional investors not the problem - Fed buying 30-year mortgages was the problem12:04 What would actually help housing?

Welcome to The Chrisman Commentary, your go-to daily mortgage news podcast, where industry insights meet expert analysis. Hosted by Robbie Chrisman, this podcast delivers the latest updates on mortgage rates, capital markets, and the forces shaping the housing finance landscape. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just looking to stay informed, you'll get clear, concise breakdowns of market trends and economic shifts that impact the mortgage world.In today's episode, we look at President Trump saying he will ban institutional investors from buying up homes. Plus, Robbie sits down with the Texas Stock Exchange's Jeff Karcher for a discussion on the origins of the TXSE, why its founders believe U.S. markets need more competition, and how its 2026 launch aims to reshape capital markets through technology-driven trading and long-term vision. And we close by reviewing what December prepayment speeds reveal about borrower behavior.

Alex Barron and William Lee react to President Trump's comments about removing institutional investors from the housing market, saying “people live in homes, not corporations.” William discusses how planned communities are becoming less affordable and thinks that limiting institutions will be only one of many steps Trump will take to make housing more attainable. Alex argues that institutional investors don't own that many houses and that the issues lie more with the Fed. He thinks the first half of this year will be “tough” in the sector.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.
