Joel Elconin, Co-Host of the PreMarket Prep show and founder of the Stock Trader Network, returns to share his seasoned perspective on a volatile end to the week. Despite overnight geopolitical shocks - including missile strikes into Iran - the U.S. markets staged an impressive rebound, once again showcasing their resilience and buy-the-dip mentality. Joel breaks down the technicals behind this Friday's rebound, why he sees this kind of trading day as more bullish than a straight-up rally, and how investors are reacting to the ever-changing headlines. Key discussion topics: Why Joel sees today's recovery as a stronger bullish signal than typical rally days The importance of the 6,050 resistance zone in the S&P and what it means heading into next week “TACO trade” (Trump Always Chickens Out) and market reactions to tariff uncertainty Diminishing impact of economic data on market direction Sector rotation: value stocks, defense names, solar, oil, and biotechs coming back into focus Technical levels to watch in small caps (IWM) and oil (USO), and gold's push back toward all-time highs Global markets outperforming the U.S. in some cases - why Joel is cautious at current levels ➡️ Visit PreMarket Prep and Stock Trader Network for more of Joel's insights.

Do historians have a responsibility to engage in public and political discussions? How can one balance the role of a public intellectual, an activist and a scholar? How can scholars rise to the occasion in the face of a changing media world and widespread disinformation campaigns? Can their institutions protect them from attempts to silence them through SLAPP suits (Strategic lawsuits against public participation)? In the field of Eastern European History, these questions have become particularly urgent after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Some scholars have chosen to speak out; others have chosen to remain silent. But in face of the dismantling of democracy in the United States and the rise of anti-democratic parties and movements in Europe, can we afford silence? Listen to the whole conversation on our YouTube channel. Franziska Davies is an assistant professor of Eastern European History at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and is currently a visiting fellow at the IWM in Vienna. She specialises in the modern history of Ukraine, Poland, and Russia. She is currently working on a book about the end of the Soviet Union from a Ukrainian-Polish perspective.

Discussion Highlights:Global demographic megatrends include aging populations, declining fertility rates, and diverging regional population dynamics.Migration patterns involve both forced displacement from conflict zones such as Ukraine and Palestine and labor migration from the Western Balkans, with climate-related movement remaining unpredictable.Depopulation in the Western Balkans is driven by inaccurate census data, economic factors that incentivize emigration, steadily declining fertility rates, and cultural influences on family size.Many countries in the region face labor shortages as plumbers, electricians, and healthcare workers emigrate, prompting policy responses to attract migrant labor, cover an estimated €600 million integration cost in Croatia, and implement language instruction and integration programs.Populist political discourse often exploits public fears about migration, while political leaders frequently show reluctance to acknowledge domestic labor shortages and plan beyond short electoral cycles.Europe's geopolitical context is shaped by U.S.-China competition, the continuation of the war in Ukraine, and uneven or delayed European responses to crises, such as the conflict in Gaza.The current EU enlargement process is critiqued as overly merit-based, and many argue for the package accession of all Western Balkan states, drawing lessons from Croatia's recent membership and anticipating a changing nature of the future European Union.Bosnia and Herzegovina's post-Dayton governance system succeeded in halting widespread violence but remains hampered by persistent power-sharing gridlock, redundant international structures such as the Office of the High Representative, and ongoing challenges in constitutional and education system reforms.Thirty years after Dayton, instances of inter-ethnic violence have remained low since 1995, but schooling and commemorative practices remain fragmented, and domestic dialogue on wartime accountability has stalled.EU integration offers the potential to replace international oversight with European Union frameworks while addressing governance deficits, pervasive corruption, and the need for electoral reforms.About Alida VračićAlida Vračić is a political scientist and lawyer.

This is the very first episode of the Series – Bridging the Age Gap – where we explore how women from different generations come together to reframe what it means to lead. In this episode, Julia is joined by Mieke Verloo and Mariel Mia Haug, a professor and her former student who connected at a conference on democracy and gender equality in Europe. What began as a formal introduction quickly evolved into a collaborative dynamic grounded in shared roots, values, and feminist ideals. Mia reflects on how she had to shed learned notions of deference and excessive politeness to form a meaningful connection. Mieke, the professor, in turn, shares how intentional presence, deep listening, and care are at the heart of how she holds space and how that is, in itself, a way of leading. They explore how age difference can create assumptions about what each person brings to the table, and how those assumptions can be challenged through honest dialogue and mutual respect. Listen to dive into a conversation between two women at different life stages, choosing curiosity over hierarchy as that's where the magic in leading resides. About The Guests: Mieke Verloo is Professor of Comparative Politics and Inequality Issues at Radboud University in the Netherlands, and Non-Residential Permanent Fellow at the IWM, Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna. She has extensive publications on gender equality policymaking in Europe, on gender mainstreaming and intersectionality, on gendered body politics, gendered knowledge politics, and on opposition to gender equality in Europe. For 2022-2036, she is coordinating the CCINDLE project. Since 2020, she is also chair of the FLAX Foundation Mia Haug is a political science graduate from Estonia with a strong background in student politics. She's also the Operations Manager at Women Emerging. As cofounder and former board member of 020 - a student political party at the University of Amsterdam - she led key initiatives aimed at improving student representation and passed policies that addressed key issues affecting the community. Later, as Chair of LEF, a youth-oriented party in the Netherlands, she worked on radical policy ideas like universal basic income, better access to mental health care, and just climate action.

Jim Tassoni, CEO of Armored Wealth Strategies, joins us for his technical outlook on markets and resources. Jim is a momentum-focused trader targeting mid-term trends, and in this conversation, he shares how he's navigating one of the most volatile stretches of the year.   Despite a recent bounce in markets, Jim sees continued downside risk across major indices. He explains why his team initiated a short position on SPY, where they'd increase it, and what key technical levels they're watching to shift bullish. Jim also outlines a profitable short trade in IWM (small caps) and why the construction of the index keeps him cautious.   We then dive into gold and the broader precious metals space, where Jim remains long and bullish, but he's watching for a better re-entry point after a strong move. He outlines extension targets up to $3,600 for gold and levels of interest on GDX and copper.   On energy, Jim shares insights into a well-timed short crude oil trade and the critical levels he's tracking that could signal a reversal.    Finally, we wrap with international exposure, as Jim details his active long positions in Japan and China, including FXI and EWJ, and his key stop-loss levels.   Click here to visit the Armor Wealth Strategies website to keep up to date with Jim and what he's trading.

Wir leben in einer Zeit voller großer Veränderungen, die die Weltpolitik, die Gesellschaft und die Wirtschaft beeinflussen. Aber das ist nicht das erste Mal, dass die Menschheit so große Umwälzungen durchmacht. In dieser Folge nehmen Misha Glenny - Rektor des Instituts für die Wissenschaft vom Menschen - und Eva Konzett - Journalistin beim Falter - Sie mit in die Zeit des Bauernkriegs von 1525, dem größten Aufstand in Europa vor der Französischen Revolution. Glenny und Konzett haben dazu die Oxford-Historikerin Lyndal Roper befragt. Damals kämpften Bauern im deutschsprachigen Raum für eine neue Vorstellung von Freiheit, inspiriert von Martin Luther und der Reformation. Roper erklärt, wie die Bauern gegen ihre Herrscher aufbegehrten, welche Ideale sie vertraten, was wir heute aus ihrem Kampf lernen können und warum sie schon den Regenbogen zu ihrer Fahne machten.Diese Episode ist Teil des Podcasts Future Discontinuous, den der Falter in Zusammenarbeit mit dem IWM produziert.

It's a sea of red across global markets. Equities are plunging, volatility is surging, and only a few safe havens are in the green: the US dollar, bonds, and volatility indices.   Marc Chandler, Managing Partner at Bannockburn Global Forex and Editor of the Marc to Market website. Marc joins us to unpack the major market moves, including how currencies are reacting amid surging volatility, global trade tensions, and a growing fear of a longer-term downturn.   Key Theme: Global markets are rattled as trade war fears and volatility spark widespread selling, prompting concerns over central bank responses and capital flight.   Highlights from the discussion:   Major equity indices plunge: S&P 500 down 8%, Nasdaq down 9%, and IWM (small caps) down 10% - just four days into April. Currency market reactions: Despite expectations of dollar strength post-tariffs, the USD sold off sharply, with the yen strengthening as US rates dropped. But then the dollar bounced back today. Volatility spikes: The VIX surges 34% to hit 40, marking a significant shift in sentiment and a surge in hedging activity. Gap theory in focus: Marc discusses technical "gap" patterns in equity markets and how they could hint at potential snapback or further downside. Commodity selloff: Gold drops $200 in days (though still over $3,000), silver plunges from $35 to $29, copper dropped huge from record highs, and oil falls below $62. Central bank watch: Powell signaled patience after a strong jobs report, but growing calls for emergency rate cuts suggest market stress could force action.

„Es klingt kaum glaubhaft, was ich euch jetzt berichte, ist aber pure Wahrheit. Kaum fing es an Tag zu werden, erschienen schon die Engländer und winkten uns zu, was unsere Leute erwiderten. Allmählich gingen sie ganz heraus aus den Gräben, unsere Leute zündeten einen mitgebrachten Christbaum an, stellten ihn auf den Wall und läuteten mit Glocken. Alles bewegte sich frei aus den Gräben, und es wäre nicht einem in den Sinn gekommen zu schießen. Was ich vor ein paar Stunden noch für Wahnsinn hielt, konnte ich jetzt mit eigenen Augen sehen... war dies etwas Ergreifendes: Zwischen den Schützengräben stehen die verhasstesten und erbittertsten Gegner um den Christbaum und singen Weihnachtslieder. Diesen Anblick werde ich mein Leben lang nicht vergessen. Man sieht bald, dass der Mensch weiterlebt, auch wenn er nichts mehr kennt in dieser Zeit als Töten und Morden...Weihnachten 1914 wird mir unvergesslich sein."Aus einem Brief an seine Eltern Ende Dezember 1914 des Gefreiten Josef Wenzl vom Königlich Bayerischen 16.
