Podcasts about rates

In this episode of Behind the Numbers, host Dave Bookbinder sits down with Nicole Grinnell - founder of Bosun Solutions and Mic'd Up Booking - to break down the exact financial and operational mechanics of scaling a small business. They pull back the curtain on payroll optimization, calculating the true opportunity cost of doing your own admin work, and why high-performing executive assistants are revenue multipliers, not expenses. Nicole walks through the spreadsheet arbitrage of fractional staffing, explaining how shifting from fixed W2 payroll overhead to variable fractional support insulates profit margins during market volatility (a model battle-tested during COVID-19). They dig deep into the hidden financial cost of a bad hire, the exact vetting processes needed to protect cash flow, and why Net Profit is the ultimate metric every scaling founder must track. Plus, Nicole outlines how to turn podcast guesting into a low-effort, high-ROI B2B sales engine that drastically shortens sales cycles.

Michael and Jason discuss a potential surge in mortgage rates to 7.5%, a shift they believe will severely impact housing affordability and market transactions. They predict that while high rates hurt flippers and wholesalers, "buy and hold" investors can benefit from rising rents and less competition from buyers. They highlight a brewing commercial real estate crisis, specifically in office and multi-family sectors, where a lack of liquidity may force massive foreclosures. Despite these challenges, Jason views single-family rentals as a resilient "least worst" investment compared to an overvalued stock market. Ultimately, Michael shares his strategy of using cash reserves to make aggressive offers on distressed properties during this anticipated period of market volatility.   Key Takeaways: 0:00 a fundamental change in the risk profile 10:12 Midterm elections and the interest rate 11:14 Resets in commercial real estate 16:04 A dog called T.I.N.A. and looking for the deal-of-the-year 20:47 Get your FREE PropertyTracker.com account and join our FREE Masterclass every Wednesday EmpoweredInvestor.com/Wednesday   Reach out to our Investment Counselors 1-800- HARTMAN Ext. 2      _______________________________________________________________ Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://empoweredinvestor.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: https://empoweredinvestor.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: https://empoweredinvestor.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://empoweredinvestor.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://empoweredinvestor.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Chuck Todd opens with the Iran war's arrival on American soil: hackers have hit water systems across multiple states in one of the most serious cyberattacks on U.S. water infrastructure in years and investigators probing an Iranian link. Trump's response tells you everything about the presidency in its current state — he didn't blame the attacker, he blamed the victim, using the hack as an occasion to attack Minnesota Democrats. Chuck’s question hangs over the whole segment: was Trump briefed on the Iranian connection and went after Minnesota anyway? Either way, the first instinct was to find a Democrat to blame, which Chuck calls a kind of polarization disease that leaves a president caring more about his narrative than about American citizens drinking the water. It fits a pattern the episode keeps circling: Jeanine Pirro presented false evidence to a grand jury blaming a former Olympian for damage to the White House reflecting pool, dropped the case when Interior produced documents proving otherwise, and Trump publicly disagreed with dropping it because he still insists it was vandals. Chuck argues negative information never reaches Trump, and people who bring him bad news don't last long — which is how you end up with a president insisting affordability is a Democratic scam Then, Chuck highlights a Wall Street Journal piece that lays out Trump's corruption — roughly $800 million raised through what amounts to an advertised pay-to-play scheme. Anti-corruption is a devastating midterm message sitting right there for Democrats to pick up… then Chuck Schumer rolled out a bill that Chuck calls a piece of garbage: it wouldn't even cover the conduct in the WSJ story, it's likely unconstitutional because it names individuals, and — most absurdly — it creates a new anti-corruption agency inside the executive branch, meaning a corrupt president would appoint its director and seven board members and, per the Supreme Court, could fire them at will. Congress can already do every bit of the oversight the agency would perform and Schumer's answer to executive corruption is to hand the executive more power and write Congress out of its own job. He closes on Michigan and Wisconsin as the clearest signals of where the Democratic Party is headed — Abdul El-Sayed running a movement inside a Senate race with the explicit goal of changing the party, DSA-endorsed Francesca Wong leading in Wisconsin while the establishment fails to coordinate against her — and on the DSA's new call to abolish the Senate, which Senate Democrats pushed back on without ever defending the institution. Chuck defends it himself: the Senate is a feature, not a bug, a brake on political extremism, and the right response to losing an argument is to win it rather than rewrite the rules. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit Watergate and Richard Nixon’s resignation, and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Dr. Brian King — the former director of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products, who was placed on administrative leave in April 2025 as part of the mass HHS layoffs joins the Chuck Toddcast to explain what happens to public health when the agency charged with protecting it gets deliberately dismantled. King walks through the extraordinary progress America made reducing cigarette smoking over decades, and how quickly that's being unwound: the tobacco industry donated millions to Trump's PAC, executives pressured the White House directly, and the payoff has been regulatory capture and mounting pressure on the FDA to bring flavored products back to market. He's clear-eyed rather than absolutist on the science — combustible products are far and away the most harmful, nicotine itself is highly addictive but isn't what's killing people, though it's genuinely not risk-free for the adolescent brain — and he walks Chuck through the comparison to caffeine, the data on whether vaping serves as a gateway back into smoking, and what's actually known about nicotine pouches, where youth usage isn't high but stubbornly isn't declining either. The industry, meanwhile, is spending roughly a million dollars an hour advertising its products while fighting every government action to reduce smoking. The conversation turns to what actually works and what's being abandoned. King argues the two most effective interventions available are reducing nicotine levels in cigarettes and banning menthol, credits Congress for getting the Tobacco Control Act right, and stresses that Congress — not the FDA acting alone — has to be the one to regulate tobacco, which is precisely why sidelining the agency is so damaging. He and Chuck get into the questions nobody in Washington wants to answer: why are cigarettes legal at all, how are sugary alcoholic beverages not treated in the same category, and where did the money from the 1998 master settlement actually go. King is pointed that the MAHA movement, for all its rhetoric about chronic disease, has done nothing prominent on tobacco, and that the FDA is now actively undermining both the science and the law it was built to enforce. His closing warning is the bleakest note of the episode: America is in a public health apocalypse that will take decades to repair, it will be enormously hard to recruit a next generation into the field, the entire world will be harmed by the collapse of American public health infrastructure — and the impacts are only just beginning to show up.

Here is the complete transcription with the timestamps and speaker labels removed and number words changed to numerals: How would you like to achieve a win rate in the forex market that’s much less than you can even get here at the casino? Let’s talk about that and more right now. Paul Tillman – Director of Coaching at TFTC Hello traders, this is Paul Tillman. I’m the Director of Coaching Services here at The Forex Trading Coach, and this is video and podcast number 644. I want to talk about 2 things today that we encounter in the forex market. The 1st one is expect the unexpected for trading, and the 2nd one is achieving a lower win rate, much lower than you can get here at the casino in Monte Carlo. But you can get that rate achieved in the forex market and still do very well in your trading journey. So 1st is expect the unexpected. On holiday/vacation in Europe and trading. My family and I, we’ve been in Europe for the last 11 days. We started out in Paris and got to Disney, and then came down to Barcelona, Spain. And lo and behold, we found out that my wife was missing her passport. So we’re in another country. Talk about things going unexpectedly. So just like in the forex market, we had to pivot. I had to take a flight back up to Paris, come back down to Spain, and then find the passport, get it, come back down, and meet the family just so we can be on this cruise right now. So what does that mean for the forex market? Well, many people think it’s a get-rich-quick scheme. People show you spreadsheets. “Oh, it’s so easy all the time. You can just sprint to the finish line and it’s not a big deal, and you can just get rich fast.” And that’s just not true. As a trader, be prepared for the unexpected. You’re going to have unexpected things happen in the forex market, just like our trip, all the time. You’re going to have spreads that you have to deal with. You’re going to have price spikes you have to deal with. You may not have a certain pair on your broker platform. You may miss a time frame change. You miss a trade. A trade may not fill you in. All these unexpected things that can happen on a trip can certainly happen in the forex market. You’ve got to be adaptable. Yeah, I was adaptable and took an early morning flight to save my family so we could go on a cruise and get home back to the US, back to North Carolina, where we live. And in the trading markets, you’ve got to adapt to all of that. You know, it’s also news trading. What if you have round numbers and full Winter Band support? All of these things you have to account for, and the unexpected can certainly happen. But to succeed, you’ve got to deal with that. Well, the 2nd thing I want to talk to you about is the win rate. Casino win rate and your trading win rate. So here at the casino, many of the games you might have a 47%-48% chance to win. And that’s because the house always has the advantage. So you’ve got a little bit less than a 50-50 chance of winning consistently in the long run in the casino. The great thing about the forex market is, and the way we trade with consistent risk management and a great reward-to-risk, great trading is all about reward-to-risk in the markets. I’m talking about 2-to-1 trades, 2.5-to-1, 3-to-1, 4-to-1. We’re in some great British pound weekly chart trades just this week that, on the market orders, can have upwards of 5-to-1, 6-to-1, or 7-to-1 in the market. And so you can do very well with, say, a rate of even 35%-40%. High reward:risk trading in trading is key. So it’s the 1 thing in the world, really, that you can get a less than 50% win rate and still achieve great results. Different things like sports. Our Carolina Hurricanes had a much bigger than 50% win rate, and they got in the playoffs and just won their 1st Stanley Cup in the last 20 years. Even in all sports like tennis, you’ve got to win more than 50% of the points. In basketball, football, you’ve got to make more than 50% of your kicks and all that. But in trading, you can have that lower win rate and you can still do extremely well. So what are we talking about today? Expect the unexpected when it comes to trading. Be adaptable, willing to make changes on the fly. Have a routine, even though things are there, subjectivity there. Then you’ve just got to go with the unexpected, trade your plan, and get it going. With the casino and the win rate, then you’ve got to make sure you have a decent win rate, but it doesn’t have to be 50-50. Monte Carlo Casino visit. So I’m heading here. Going to go have a look at the casino, see if I can get that win rate for a little bit, and then head back on our cruise and our trip. Andrew will be back next week, but great to talk to you here from our Tillman trip in Europe, and we’ll see you next week.

Enrolment rates for the country's youngest voters have slid for a sixth consecutive election year, reaching the lowest point since at least 2011. Political reporter Lauren Crimp reports.

 Chris Markowski, the Watchdog on Wall Street, discusses the current financial landscape, emphasizing the importance of understanding market dynamics, the role of the Federal Reserve, and the impact of government intervention on economic growth. He critiques financial journalism for its lack of accountability and stresses the need for financial literacy and personal responsibility in investing. Markowski also explores the commodification of financial news and how advertising influences coverage, urging listeners to take ownership of their financial decisions.

In just one week, the US Federal Reserve, the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan all chose to hold interest rates steady, yet none of the decisions were unanimous, and of course, the Fed's new Chair is now steering away from forward guidance altogether. With investors left to navigate rates without the usual signposts, what should they make of this week's decisions, and what comes next?In this episode of The View Beyond, Bernadette Anderko sits down with David Kohl, Chief Economist at Julius Baer, to unpack the week's central bank decisions. They discuss why the Fed held rates despite markets anticipating a hike, the bond market volatility and dollar weakness that followed Kevin Warsh's press conference, and the outlook for Fed policy into year end. The conversation also covers the Bank of England's split vote and UK rate expectations amid a new political backdrop, as well as examining the Bank of Japan's decision to hold rates while signalling a more hawkish shift alongside yen intervention. Finally, David also offers his insights into why he believes that the ECB will not hike rates at their September meeting.(00:00) - Introduction (01:04) - The Fed's decision not to hike rates (03:00) - Bond market reaction and Kevin Warsh's communication style (05:34) - Outlook for Fed rate expectations (07:46) - The Bank of England's split decision (09:18) - UK rate expectations amid political change (11:21) - The Bank of Japan holds rates and hints at hikes (15:15) - Expectations for the ECB (17:24) - Closing remarks Would you like to support this show?

This week on Fed Watch, ITR Economist and Speaker Connor Lokar breaks down the Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates steady and why Chairman Kevin Warsh says it's time for markets to "play the ball, not the referee." As businesses continue navigating inflation uncertainty, slowing economic growth, and pressure on consumers, what should leaders actually be paying attention to? Connor explains why the Fed is stepping back from forward guidance, what recent GDP data signals about the economy, and what to watch as we head into the fall. Are markets focused on the right signals, or are they paying too much attention to every word from the Fed?

The Federal Reserve has held interest rates steady, but growing inflation concerns could keep mortgage rates higher for longer — adding another layer of complexity for older homeowners and the reverse mortgage industry. In this week's HECM World Weekly, we look beyond the headlines to unpack what the latest economic, housing and retirement data really means for the industry. We cover: Why the Fed held rates despite growing pressure to act on inflation Home prices reaching another record — while actually falling in real terms Why stagnant homeownership and extremely low homeowner vacancy matter for aging in place The rapid growth of proprietary reverse mortgages — and why unit counts only tell part of the story Why HECM dollar volume presents a stronger picture than originations alone New research showing older Americans becoming more defensive about retirement Why liquidity, resilience and downside protection could become increasingly important to reverse mortgage conversations Older Americans continue to hold extraordinary levels of housing wealth. But with inflation, higher rates and retirement uncertainty changing the financial landscape, how that equity is used — and the products available to access it — is becoming increasingly important. For more reverse mortgage news, research and industry insights, visit HECM World. https://hecmworld.com/2026/07/31/hecm-world-weekly-fed-holds-rates-as-inflation-pressure-builds-while-housing-equity-tells-a-more-complicated-story

The Federal Reserve is changing how it communicates with markets, and the ripple effects are being felt across bonds, currencies, housing, and equities. We break down Kevin Warsh's shift away from forward guidance, why long-term Treasury yields continue to climb, and what it could mean for interest rates going forward. We also discuss New York's proposed second-home tax and government-backed grocery stores, the escalating conflict between the US and Iran, Korea's margin-call meltdown, growing weakness in the bond market, pressure on the Canadian dollar, and why the energy sector may present one of today's most compelling investment opportunities.Start an investment portfolio that's built to perform with Neighbourhood Holdings!

Get up to $3 million in coverage in as little as 10 minutes at https://ethos.com/gold. Application times may vary. Rates may vary.The Federal Reserve left rates unchanged at 3.5% to 3.75%, exactly where they were before Kevin Warsh took over, despite a 30% market-priced chance of a hike and three FOMC members dissenting in favor of one. Peter Schiff breaks down a press conference where Warsh declared "no tolerance" for inflation above 2% while doing nothing about it, hiding behind the excuse that the Fed "doesn't have a magic wand." Nobody asked for magic, just for the Fed to use the tools it actually has: higher rates, a smaller balance sheet, slower money supply growth. Warsh delivered none of them, and Schiff argues he made the same choice as his predecessors. Inflation is a choice, and the Fed chose it again.The markets rendered their verdict immediately. The 30-year Treasury yield hit 5.22%, its highest in roughly 20 years, the Dow fell 2.2% or about 1,100 points to close on the lows, and the Nasdaq 100 is now down over 3% on the week as the air keeps coming out of the AI bubble, with Meta down 10% after missing earnings and SanDisk off 30% in three days. Gold told the real story: it closed up $40 at 4,070 and never broke 4,000, because rising yields driven by a loss of confidence in the Fed are bullish for gold, not bearish. Schiff calls gold the last safe haven standing. He also covers consumer confidence at a five-year low, a $101.5 billion June trade deficit proving the tariffs accomplished nothing, and why Mamdani's government-run grocery stores will empty shelves, bankrupt private grocers in the poorest neighborhoods, and recreate Soviet bread lines in New York City.Chapters:00:00 Debt Bubble Reality00:37 Fed Holds Rates Steady03:34 Two Percent Target Doubts16:05 Q&A Exposes Inaction27:38 Markets React Bonds Stocks Gold31:45 Yields and Gold Misread35:02 Gold Safe Haven Case37:40 Fed Fallout and Data43:12 NYC Government Grocers55:42 Capitalism and Wrap UpFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffOur Sponsors:* Check out Chilipad and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://sleep.me* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out Plaud AI and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://plaud.ai* Check out Quince and use my code quince.com/gold for a great deal: https://www.quince.com* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear — the popular two-term Democrat in a deep-red state and a name increasingly floated for 2028 — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a wide-ranging conversation that opens with Kentucky's famous Fancy Farm Picnic and the increasingly countercultural idea that political disagreement shouldn't make people enemies. Beshear turns pointed on Mitch McConnell, who he says has been absent for six weeks without speaking to him, arguing that McConnell has a fundamental duty to level with the people of Kentucky about his condition.. Beshear notes the governor has no authority to declare a vacancy, calls on John Thune to help put the concerns to rest, and observes pointedly that if the situation were reversed, McConnell would be ruthlessly tactical about it — and that the right should arguably be angrier, since it's one fewer vote for the GOP agenda. Beshear reflects at length and with real emotion on the COVID years, which he calls the war of our time with a higher casualty rate than most Americans appreciate, credits Kentucky's expanded Medicaid with keeping the state from running out of hospital beds, and warning that Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" will close 35 hospitals in Kentucky alone. He's sharply critical of Rand Paul for dragging Fauci into character-assassination hearings while staying conspicuously silent on McConnell, and reminds listeners it was Trump who ordered governors to shut down the economy, not Fauci. The conversation turns to Beshear's political philosophy and the road ahead for Democrats. He rejects the "moderate" label in favor of "pragmatic," arguing that the constant battle to label everyone misses how much more complicated reality actually is. Beshear makes the case that Democrats don't win by becoming a Democratic version of McConnell or Trump, that the party needs to be the party of making the economy work again, and that it should champion structural reforms like campaign finance amendments, outlawing gerrymandering, and directly electing the president. He's visibly frustrated with Democrats who blame other Democrats when Republicans are the ones doing the damage — there's no time for "woulda-couldas," he argues, when Trump and the GOP are inflicting this much harm. As a leader in the Democratic Governors Association, Beshear lays out where he sees real opportunity: big resources heading into Georgia, the critical importance of Katie Hobbs winning in Arizona to ensure a fair 2028 election, and the DGA's willingness to spend anywhere it can win. He addresses the data center backlash as fundamentally rooted in anxiety about AI and big tech's failure to talk to the communities it moves into, and stays characteristically coy about his own 2028 ambitions.

Freight rates have entered a new phase, and the signals pointing to it have been hiding in plain sight for anyone willing to look past the headlines and into the data. In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott W. Luton is joined by Jake Barr, Chris Caplice, Chief Scientist at DAT Freight & Analytics, and Bobby Holland, Vice President/Director of Freight Business Analytics at U.S. Bank, to dig into the newly launched U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index Rates Edition, a joint report combining U.S. Bank's $46 billion in annual freight payment processing with DAT's database of more than a trillion in freight market transactions. Chris breaks down why this tightening cycle isn't the surprise so many transportation executives believe it to be, explaining how capacity, not demand, is the real driver this time around, fueled by driver shortages, tighter regulations, and unprecedented data center build-out. Bobby brings the numbers to life, showing how spot rate movement has historically preceded shifts in contract rates and why shippers should treat that signal as an early warning system rather than an afterthought. The conversation lands on what shippers can actually do about it: stress-testing budgets, segmenting freight into dedicated, contract, and dynamic buckets, and using data to answer the question every CFO eventually asks, is it me, or is it the market? Jake closes with a blunt prediction for the shipper side and a challenge to turn the last few years of smooth sailing into real, productive reinvestment.

David Bahnsen fills in for Brian Szytel with the Dividend Cafe daily recap, noting the Dow rose 537 points (over 1%) while the Nasdaq fell 22 basis points, underscoring a market rotation away from semiconductors and some technology (semiconductors down almost 5%) toward more traditional/value areas. Healthcare led with a 2.3% gain, followed by consumer staples up 2% and materials up 1.66%, while energy fell 1.4% and technology fell 1.1%, reflecting unusually wide dispersion. The 10-year Treasury closed at 4.6%, down 4 basis points, alongside a broader bond rally with yields lower across the curve. Bahnsen highlights intense attention on the upcoming Fed meeting and argues there is too much focus on the Fed versus the real economy, with more commentary to follow. 00:00 Welcome and Host Swap 00:08 Market Rotation Snapshot 01:00 Sector Winners and Losers 01:36 Rates and Bond Rally 02:07 Fed Hype and Real Economy 02:45 Tomorrow Coverage Preview 02:49 Ask TBG and Sign Off Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com
