Podcasts about Market

Coming up on todays episode of Suspension of the Rules: Trump gets revenge on the Indiana GOP, we talk about Kmele and billionaires and CNN with Abby Phillip, and then a long conversation about ChatGPT's fact checking of Isaac's article on Friday which was titled "The everything, everywhere, all at once corruption story". Last but not least, a very good grievance section where Kmele actually knocks it out of the park. It's a very good one!Corruption in the Trump administration?“After reviewing the evidence of the first 15 months of President Trump's second term, I believe the president is profiting off the office and making foreign policy decisions based on business interests to a level we've never seen or even conceived of before, and apparently nothing is being done to stop it.”Gold phones, Qatari planes, Syrian golf courses, cryptocurrency schemes, ballroom donations. Market moves, board seats, lawsuits dropped, lawsuits threatened. Pardons, prosecutions, profits, profits, profits… This past Friday, Executive Editor Isaac Saul waded through all of it in a thorough exploration of the charges of corruption against President Donald Trump.In case you missed it, you can read the piece here.

In this episode, we are joined by Elroy Dimson, Professor of Finance at Cambridge Judge Business School and co-creator of the Dimson-Marsh-Staunton (DMS) dataset, for a sweeping and deeply insightful conversation on financial history, market behavior, and the evolution of global investing. Elroy walks us through the origins of the groundbreaking Triumph of the Optimists, the challenges of assembling over 100 years of global return data, and the critical biases that once shaped our understanding of markets. We explore how expanding beyond U.S.-centric data reshaped expectations for the equity risk premium, why economic growth doesn't necessarily translate into higher stock returns, and what history reveals about diversification, factor investing, and investor behavior. Elroy also shares lessons from his work with major institutions like Norway's sovereign wealth fund, discusses the surprising long-term outperformance of railways, and offers a grounded perspective on future expected returns. This episode is a masterclass in using history to inform better financial decisions. Key Points From This Episode: (0:04:00) Introduction to Elroy Dimson and the significance of the DMS dataset.

In this solo master's class episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I want to talk straight with you about why creative financing is absolutely thriving in this market and why I believe so many investors will look back a few years from now and wish they had leaned in harder. A lot of people keep saying this feels like 2008 all over again. It does not. The stats are different, the problems are different, and because of that, the opportunity is different too. Today's market is not primarily distress-driven. It is structure-driven. Sellers are stuck with low-rate mortgages they do not want to give up, buyers are stuck with payments they cannot comfortably afford, and right in the middle of that gap is where creative real estate shines.     I break down why the current market favors terms more than ever, why rent-to-own is becoming even more attractive, why debt-free homes and strong equity levels make this market fundamentally different from the 2008 crash, and how smart investors can use all of that to create quality income instead of staying trapped on the transactional treadmill. I also walk through what I mean by quality versus quantity of income, using a real example of how just one year of three-payday deals can create long-term, staggered income that changes the way you live and invest.    If you want to stop waiting on the market to "get better" and start understanding how to structure deals that work right now, this episode is for you.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 01:14 What makes this market different from 2008 02:22 The impact of AI and job security on real estate 03:03 Understanding the changing demographics of first-time home buyers 04:22 Why creative financing is a necessity today 05:31 Creative financing strategies: Seller financing, lease purchases, sub-to deals 06:15 Market differences: Equity and lending stability 08:21 Using creative financing as a strategic edge in today's market 09:00 Structure-driven vs. distress-driven markets 10:56 Solving seller problems through terms 12:30 Quality of income vs. quantity of income 13:43 12-month case study: Results and staggered income 15:33 Applying strategies to various asset classes 17:42 Streamlining with Propsperity.io   Quotables   "When you control the terms, you control the deal."   "The opportunity isn't in the cheaper money. It's in a better, smarter, long-term structure."   "You're not just looking to buy houses.

Join the WAWD Substack: https://whatarewedoingonthedesk.substack.com/ Guy Adami and Danny Moses open with a brief New York Giants aside before turning to markets, focusing on Jerome Powell's final Fed press conference as Chair, his plan to remain a governor, and expectations that Kevin Warsh will become Fed Chair as the administration seeks more influence over the Board. They discuss how markets have stayed resilient despite $100 oil, rising global yields, a weakening yen with Japan intervention near 160, geopolitical stress, and a subdued VIX, attributing much of the strength to passive flows and forced institutional chasing. Moses flags inflation beginning to filter through via price hikes and warns the consumer may eventually feel higher energy costs. They debate energy stocks' durability even if crude eases, remain constructive on gold amid fiscal/geopolitical risks, note elevated valuation signals like the Buffett indicator, and address concerns about “fantasy math” in AI, citing OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar's tempered adoption comments and cautioning retail on private-market secondaries. —FOLLOW USYouTube: @RiskReversalMediaInstagram: @riskreversalmediaTwitter: @RiskReversalLinkedIn: RiskReversal Media

In this REI Only episode of The FasterFreedom Show, Sam breaks down why cash flow shouldn't be your primary focus when investing in real estate—especially in today's market. He explains how cash flow is not as consistent or achievable as it once was, and why chasing it too aggressively can cause investors to overlook stronger opportunities. Instead, Sam shifts the focus to the bigger wealth-building benefits of real estate, including appreciation, loan paydown, and long-term equity growth.Whether you're just getting started or reevaluating your strategy, this episode highlights why cash flow should be viewed as a bonus—not the foundation—and how adopting this mindset can help you make smarter, more strategic investment decisions.Join my FREE real estate community on Skool: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.skool.com/relaunch⁠FasterFreedom Capital Connection: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://fasterfreedomcapital.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Rental Investment Training: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://freerentalwebinar.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

On Saturday, Spirit Airlines announcedthat it was canceling all flights and beginning an “orderly wind-down” of its operations. The budget airline had been struggling since the Covid-19 pandemic, and it hasn't posted a profitable year since 2019. President Donald Trump had sought a deal to bail out the company before its shutdown but failed to reach an agreement with bondholders. About 17,000 Spirit employees and contractors are expected to lose their jobs; union representatives are negotiating with the airline to grant compensation packages to affected workers.Ad-free podcasts are here!To listen to this podcast ad-free, and to enjoy our subscriber only premium content, go to ReadTangle.com to sign up!Corruption in the Trump administration?“After reviewing the evidence of the first 15 months of President Trump's second term, I believe the president is profiting off the office and making foreign policy decisions based on business interests to a level we've never seen or even conceived of before, and apparently nothing is being done to stop it.”Gold phones, Qatari planes, Syrian golf courses, cryptocurrency schemes, ballroom donations.

Over the past decade, she has partnered with leadership teams at public and high-growth companies to build operating models that support distributed work, enable durable growth, and strengthen resilience. At Virta Health, she built and scaled a fully remote organization recognized by Inc. as a Best Place to Work during a period of rapid expansion. At Patreon, she led the team through hypergrowth, M&A integration, and cultural evolution. Earlier in her career at Yahoo, Lucia designed and implemented analytics and decision-making infrastructure across EMEA, APAC, and the Americas. She holds a PhD in Organizational Behavior from Stanford GSB and brings a systems-driven approach to how organizations operate and evolve at scale.  Takeaways: 1. Honesty Is the Most Underrated Employee Benefit Lucia's diagnosis of broken cultures is blunt: a lack of honesty. In an era defined by uncertainty — AI, economic volatility, global instability — employees want leaders and organizations that will be straight with them. Transparency isn't a communication strategy; it's a cultural foundation. 2. Bring Your Customers Into Your Culture Virta Health keeps honesty alive by bringing its patients — the people receiving its treatment — into all-hands meetings, offsites, and board meetings. It's a radical form of accountability that makes it impossible to lose sight of what the organization is actually for. 3. Remote Done Right Is About Trust, Not Tools Flexibility is a genuine benefit — but only if it comes with trust, clear expectations, and a genuine output-over-hours mentality. Lucia's philosophy: I hired you to do a job from anywhere. Get it done. The moment you start monitoring screen time or sending 3 AM emails, you've broken the contract. 4. Know Your Population Before You Design Your Benefits Virta's benefits strategy starts with a simple question: who are our people and what do they need? Their workforce is majority women in their 30s — so fertility benefits aren't a nice-to- have, they're a core part of the value proposition. Benefits designed without demographic insight don't land. 5. Compensation Comes First — Then Benefits Can Differentiate You cannot win a talent war on benefits alone. Market-rate base, bonus, and long-term incentives have to be in place first. Once they are, benefits become the layer that signals culture and meets employees where they are in their lives. 6. Engagement Is the Proxy Metric for Peace of Mind How do you quantify something as qualitative as peace of mind? Lucia's answer: Track engagement before and after benefits changes. Employees who feel supported show up more connected to the organization. That connection is measurable — and it ties directly to retention and performance. 7. The Attrition Argument Wins the Benefits Budget Conversation When employees are in a high-stakes life phase — fertility, family planning, caregiving — and the company doesn't meet them there, they leave. The cost of replacing them is almost always higher than the cost of the benefit. Lucia builds her ROI case on that math, and it works. 8. AI Is Forcing Leaders to Lead With Meaning As AI automates the transactional parts of management, leaders are left with the one thing AI can't provide: genuine human connection and meaning. Lucia sees this as a cause for optimism — organizations that were coasting on process are now being pushed to actually invest in their people. 9. 3 AM Emails Are a Leadership Failure, Not a Work Ethic Signal Managers who send late-night or weekend messages aren't demonstrating dedication — they're demonstrating poor planning and setting a cultural expectation that others shouldn't have to absorb. If urgency is manufactured, the fix is upstream, not a Sunday Slack message. CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Introduction Adam welcomes Lucia Guillory, CPO at Virta Health, and gets a quick overview of what the company does — including their recent breakthrough linking their treatment to extended survival in pancreatic cancer patients. 02:00 – From Isolation to PhD: How Lucia Got Into People Lucia traces her path into organizational behavior through a personal lens — growing up dyslexic and with ADHD, studying people as a way to understand belonging, and ultimately earning a PhD to drive change in organizations. 05:00 – What's Most Broken in Bad Cultures Lucia's direct answer: a lack of honesty. In a world of tariffs, AI anxiety, and geopolitical turbulence, employees want authenticity and transparency above everything else — and it's rarer than it should be. 07:30 – How Virta Bakes Transparency In Virta's unusual approach to keeping honesty at the forefront: bringing patients (members) into all-hands meetings, offsites, and even board meetings — making it impossible to hide what's working and what isn't. 10:30 – Remote Done Right What it actually means to be a fully remote organization: output over hours, trust over monitoring, flexibility as a genuine benefit, and clear communication as the operating system that holds it all together. 13:30 – The 3 AM Email Problem Lucia's take on managers who send emails at 3 AM or on weekends: it's a leadership failure, not a badge of honor — and employees have to vote with their feet if that's the culture. 16:00 – Total Comp: Where Benefits Fit In You can't win on benefits alone — market compensation has to be there first. But once it is, benefits become the differentiator. Lucia's framework: know your population and design accordingly. 18:30 – Fertility Benefits & Knowing Your Workforce Why Virta chose Carrot as their fertility benefits platform — and how understanding that their workforce is majority women in their 30s made this an obvious, high-impact investment across the full spectrum of family planning. 21:30 – Measuring the ROI of Peace of Mind How do you put a number on peace of mind? Lucia's answer: track engagement. Benefits that reduce stress and meet employees where they are show up directly in engagement scores — and engagement ties to retention and performance. 24:00 – Linking Benefits to Attrition The business case Lucia makes to finance: when employees are in a critical life phase — fertility, family planning, caregiving — failing to meet them there drives attrition. The cost of that attrition is measurable. The cost of the benefit usually isn't. 26:30 – What's Lighting Lucia Up: AI & the Return of Meaning Lucia's optimistic take on the AI moment: as transactional management gets automated away, leaders are being forced to show up with something AI can't provide — meaning, connection, and genuine investment in their people.    

From the streets of the South Bronx to running one of the busiest weed operations in New York City — this is the story of Angel Diaz, aka Julito. In this raw and unfiltered interview, Julito breaks down how he was raised in the drug game, watching his mother move heroin and cocaine before stepping into the streets himself at just 12 years old. From selling crack and flipping weed to building a massive distribution network moving pounds daily, he shares how loyalty, hustle, and survival shaped his rise. But the game comes with a price. Julito opens up about violence, betrayal, federal indictments, and the moment everything came crashing down due to snitches and internal conflict. After years behind bars, he reflects on the truth most don't talk about: There's no glory in the street life. Go Support Julito!

Big tech earnings have shown that artificial intelligence has become a massive growth business for the biggest companies in the world. And it better be because they're spending nearly $1 trillion per year on the technology, but will it pay off? Travis Hoium, Lou Whiteman, and Jon Quast discuss: - Big tech's AI growth - Is the economy healthy or hanging on by a thread? - Market predictions - Stocks on our radar Companies discussed: Textron (TXT), Circle (CRCL), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), NVIDIA (NVDA), Microsoft (MSFT), Meta Platforms (META).

This episode covers a wide range of topics across betting, prediction markets, and probabilistic thinking. We start with the Brendan Sorsby situation after reports surfaced about a major gambling-related issue involving the Texas Tech QB, including over 10,000 bets placed dating back to 2022. The conversation focuses on what this means for gambling integrity in college sports and the broader responsibility discussion that comes with it. From there, the panel reacts to Isaac Rose-Berman's recent article on prediction markets and the way they are positioned as an alternative to traditional sportsbooks. The discussion explores whether that framing is accurate, how these platforms actually generate profit, and what bettors often misunderstand about their structure. The group also breaks down a viral take from Plus EV Analytics on parlay thinking and how human intuition struggles with probability when outcomes are layered together. Host Jacob Gramegna is joined throughout the episode by Joey Knish, Isaac Rose-Berman, and Chris Dierkes (Flupnolide), a trader at Novig, with all four contributors involved in the full discussion across gambling, markets, and bettor psychology.

Your buyers and sellers are stalling — and it has nothing to do with the market. The single biggest perceived hassle in every real estate transaction is the physical act of moving. And until now, no one had a real solution. In this episode, Tim Harris sits down with Bill Mulholland, founder and CEO of Agou and 26-year veteran of the corporate relocation industry. Bill demos the AI-powered platform that has completely transformed the moving process — using computer vision to scan homes, identify every item, calculate guaranteed locked-in pricing, and connect clients with a vetted network of the best movers in the country. This is not a moving app for movers. This is a listing tool and buyer retention weapon for real estate agents who want an unfair competitive advantage in the 2026 market. You will learn how the Agou platform works from start to finish, including the live AI scan demo, the guaranteed pricing model, the blind bidding system that forces movers to compete for your clients' business, and how car shipping is handled inside the same seamless experience. You will also learn why the price can only go down after booking — never up — and how Agou's partnership with Realtor.com signals the beginning of a mainstream shift in how real estate transactions are supported. Tim also explains why offering this to your buyers and sellers is not just good service — it is the "do it for me" AI-level experience that 2026 consumers will demand from every agent they work with. The agents who present this first will win listings. The ones who don't will look like they're still operating in the 1990s. If you have ever had a client say they're not ready to sell because they don't want to deal with the move, this episode is required listening.

Today we're back with Field to Front Door

Is the era of protocol bailouts upon us? The Chopping Block crew and MegaETH's Shuyao Kong debate Defi United's community-funded rescue, the KPI vesting experiment shaking up token launches, whether DeFi yields truly underprice risk, and the first major PolyMarket insider trading bust—all delivered with the usual insider banter you won't hear anywhere else. Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, the squad is joined by MegaETH co-founder Shuyao Kong, fresh off their headline-making KPI-gated token launch. First, we dive into the whirlwind that is Defi United: a who's-who of Ethereum OGs and protocols pledging hundreds of millions to fill bailout holes from the massive KelpDAO hack—voluntarily. Are we witnessing a new age of protocol do-gooder vibes or just kicking the moral hazard can down the road?  Then, we tear into the “are DeFi yields way too low” debate, prodded by Tom Dunleavy's viral thread—should degens really be earning more for taking protocol risk, or are the markets just as weird as they seem? Shuyao gives us an under-the-hood look at MegaETH's radical KPI vesting mechanics, why they made the token vesting play risky pre-TGE, and whether dynamic tokenomics could be the industry's way forward (with plenty of banter about airdrop farming and governance theater along the way).  Finally, we spin through the saga of PolyMarket's big DOJ insider trading bust: is “insider info” a feature or a bug in prediction markets? All that, history lessons, cynicism, and more—let's get into it.

As war continues on, we talk the impact of oil on the economy. Ongoing and often confusing geopolitical developments are driving sharp, sentiment-driven market swings. Markets initially following a "great rotation" into defensive sectors were shifting into broad selloffs during war uncertainty, and now are in a rapid "chase" back into growth and tech as investors repositioned after being caught offside. Despite strong headline earnings underlying data shows slowing economic activity, mixed sector performance, weakening housing, and uneven credit conditions, suggesting a late-cycle environment. With correlations breaking down, traditional diversification less effective, and tech valuations complicated by rising capital expenditures, caution and incremental positioning are important. We discuss...  Markets reacted sharply to conflicting war headlines, showing how sentiment, not fundamentals, is driving short-term moves. Rely on frameworks rather than predictions, since forecasting the future is inherently unreliable. Current market strength is concentrated in tech, while most other sectors remain flat or weak. Strong earnings reports are being driven in part by lowered expectations rather than true outperformance. Economic data is softening, with slowing manufacturing, services, and forward-looking business activity. Credit markets show mixed signals, with business borrowing strong but housing and consumer trends uneven. The economy appears to be in a late-cycle phase, marked by narrow growth and increased fragility. Traditional diversification is less effective as stock and bond correlations have turned positive. Big tech faces scrutiny due to rising capital expenditures and uncertain returns on AI investments. Market behavior is increasingly driven by positioning, psychology, and institutional flows. Upcoming earnings from major companies are expected to add further volatility to markets. Midterm election cycles historically bring choppy market conditions, reinforcing uncertainty. The current rally may be a temporary bounce rather than a confirmed long-term trend. Investors are encouraged to avoid chasing gains and instead scale into positions. Holding cash and waiting for clearer signals is presented as a valid strategy.

Major U.S. stock indexes have rebounded sharply in recent weeks. Our CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Mike Wilson discusses the fundamentals that could support the continuation of the bull market.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist. Today on the podcast, I'll be discussing why I remain bullish even after such a strong run in stocks. It's Monday, April 27th at 11:30am in New York. So, let's get after it. The U.S. equity market just experienced one of the most dramatic bounces in history from a technical standpoint. It went from oversold to overbought territory in just 12 days. Based on our conversations, the speed of this move has led some to express caution about the near-term path of equities – but that's the way it usually works. The market waits for no one once it decides to move on. From our perspective, this feels like last year. Many investors are contemplating the lagging impacts of higher commodity prices on inflation just like they were thinking through the effects of higher tariff rates a year ago. Many companies will feel the downstream impacts on a lagging basis. But we believe equity indices and many subgroups already suffered enough damage to account for these concerns. In other words, the equity market isn't simply looking past the risks, it already priced them. Take into consideration that the earnings picture is much stronger today with forward 12-month earnings growth approaching 25 percent versus just 9 percent a year ago. As well, we still hear many commentators suggesting that growth is only coming from a handful of stocks. While mathematically that is a fair point for the top-heavy S&P 500, it doesn't acknowledge that forward earnings growth for the median company and for small caps is also well into the double digits. This cadence is very different from the prior three to four years when the economy was experiencing a rolling recession. It also supports our rolling recovery and broadening thesis we laid out a year ago. So far, the first quarter earnings season has delivered a 10 percent beat rate in aggregate. This is two times the long-term average. More importantly, second quarter and forward 12-month company guidance have increased by an additional 2 to 3 percent. Besides earnings beat rates and guidance, we are also watching capex guidance and signs of pricing power. We entered 2026 with a view that the capex cycle was gaining momentum, thanks to three tailwinds: First, strong earnings and cash flow, which tend to correlate with capex. Second, tax incentives from the BBB; and third, strong demand for the AI buildout and reshoring of manufacturing. Early indications on this front are supportive with median stock capex growth running almost 10 percent, and our factor work continuing to show that the market is rewarding high capex. It's important to see these trends continue as the quarter progresses, especially this week when the hyperscalers are scheduled to report. Another point; given potential downstream cost headwinds from the Iran war, we want to see pricing power and top line durability persist. Early indications here are also supportive with sales surprises for the S&P 500 running well above average and close to 2 percent. Finally, as noted in prior podcasts, one of the last hurdles for the market to overcome was the Fed's recent hawkish pivot on higher oil prices and the transition of its leadership from Jay Powell to Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh. This past week, Kevin Warsh appeared in front of the Senate. He signaled some caution on near-term rate cuts, noting that inflation risks are not resolved. He also reiterated his well-established criticism of the Fed's historic willingness to intervene in markets and the economy too aggressively with its balance sheet. Every Fed Chair transition typically requires a learning period for the markets where they test the new chair's resolve and figure out how to interpret his or her communication style. This time should be no different and could lead to some corrective price action in the near-term caused by short spikes in bond volatility or stress in funding markets. In my view, the Treasury and Fed will be able to manage these risks in the end leaving the bull market intact. Thanks for tuning in; I hope you found it informative and useful. Let us know what you think by leaving us a review. And if you find Thoughts on the Market worthwhile, tell a friend or colleague to try it out!
