The stock market is broken! Today we talk about a broad range of economic, market, and behavioral topics, beginning with the cognitive bias of sunk costs and how it affects personal decisions, investing, and business choices, emphasizing the importance of recognizing losses and cutting them early. We also explore recent market signals, including distress in the credit and auto-loan markets, and the K-shaped economy. We also critique media and policy narratives, pointing to propaganda around climate change and the pivot to nuclear energy. It's important to be aware and prudent in your observations in uncertain times. We also remark on the rising cost of living, currency devaluation (the end of the penny), and market performance trends. We discuss...  Sunk cost bias was illustrated with examples in plumbing repairs, investing in stocks like QQQ, and hiring ineffective marketers in business. People often continue bad relationships or investments due to the psychological discomfort of admitting mistakes. Non-decisions are still decisions, and it's important to consciously choose a path rather than defaulting to inaction. The conversation shifted to propaganda in media and politics, including discussions about global warming and COVID messaging. Nuclear energy is the only scalable solution for energy needs if climate change is real, and that AI and technology interests influenced the shift in media focus. We discussed deliberate and coincidental market messaging, citing examples of Fed statements and past financial crises like 2008. Michael Burry's recent fund positions and put options on Nvidia and Palantir were discussed as a signal for investors to pay attention, though not necessarily to follow blindly. Extreme caution in investing is recommended, particularly in markets or sectors one does not fully understand, such as the stressed auto-loan market. Signs of market stress were highlighted, including unusual moves in the SOFR rate and subprime auto-loan distress, though not on the scale of the 2008 mortgage crisis. The K-shaped economy was explained, where asset holders benefit from price inflation while those without assets see income stagnation and rising expenses. Rising housing costs and mortgage challenges were linked to declining fertility rates and generational effects on college and workforce participation. Indicators of market sentiment, including CNN's Fear and Greed Index, were analyzed, with a caution not to follow them blindly as they often lag or mislead. Observations were made on shifting consumer behaviors, including declining cash usage and businesses refusing pennies as payment. Future discussion topics were teased, including REIT investment opportunities and year-to-date market performance insights.   Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | Mergent College Advisors Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast For more information, visit the show notes at https://moneytreepodcast.com/stock-market-is-broken 

When people think of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, they often picture tweedy Oxford professors and beloved fantasy authors. But their writing wasn't drawn only from their bucolic days teaching at Oxford and walking in the English countryside; it had a darker, deeper backdrop: the trenches of World War I and the cataclysm of World War II. Lewis and Tolkien weren't just fantasy writers — they were war veterans, cultural critics, and men with firsthand knowledge of evil, heroism, and sacrifice.In today's episode, I'm joined by Joseph Loconte, returning to the show to discuss his latest book, The War for Middle Earth. We explore how both world wars shaped the perspectives of Tolkien and Lewis, found their way into works like The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia, and infused their literary masterpieces with moral weight, spiritual depth, and timeless themes of resistance, friendship, and redemption. We also talk about the legendary friendship between Tolkien and Lewis, the creation of the Inklings, and how the men demonstrated the countercultural power of imaginative storytelling.Resources Related to the PodcastRelated AoM podcasts:#178: The Inklings Mastermind Group#272: Lewis, Tolkien, and the Myth of Progress (Loconte's first appearance on the AoM podcast)#430: Why You Need to Join the Great Conversation About the Great Books#499: A Fascinating Primer on Norse Mythology #594: How Churchill (and London) Survived the Blitz of 1940#723: Men Without Chests#765: C.S.

This week, Dr. Greg sits down with Adrian and Shaelyn Misiak to talk about the real-life tension of growing and healing while your family stays the same. Together they unpack how true boundaries flow from inner peace—not control—and how to stay grounded in mercy when old patterns resurface around the holidays.   Key Topics: Why trying to control your family's behavior only increases anxiety—and what to do instead. Why "outgrowing your family" doesn't mean you've done anything wrong—and what it actually reveals about your healing. How to stay peaceful when one holiday comment sends you straight back into your old role. The surprising truth: boundaries aren't the solution… they're the result of inner peace. How to remain connected to your family without betraying the growth God is doing in you. How mercy—not distance—creates the safest emotional space when old wounds resurface. What to expect when you're the "different one" in the family…and how to carry that role with peace.

In this transformative episode of The Fellowship of Kingdom Professionals, Michael Blue continues to unpack one of Scripture's most overlooked leadership principles: shared credibility. Using the lives of Barnabas, Saul/Paul, and John Mark, he reveals how God advances His work through the imputation of trust, the transfer of influence, and the humility to raise up others, even when they eventually surpass us. Listeners will encounter powerful insights from Proverbs 27, Acts 9, Acts 11, and Acts 15 as Michael Blue examines how Barnabas used his own credibility to open doors for Saul and later John Mark. This teaching illuminates both the risk and the reward of sharing power, the necessity of generational leadership, and God's redemptive ability to restore those with damaged reputations. New podcast episodes are available every Monday wherever you listen to podcasts.

He explains how the "K-shaped economy" many experts have hinted toward is closely tied to rising inflation, using Target (TGT) as a barometer for his metrics.

This week on the Iowa City Church sermon podcast, we continue our Our Church series with a message called "Shaped for a Purpose." In this sermon, we explore how God has uniquely designed each of us—through our Spiritual gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, and Experiences—to live a life of meaningful service. When we discover our SHAPE, we begin to understand the specific calling God has placed on our lives. You'll hear how Jesus modeled purposeful service and why embracing the way God crafted you leads to deeper joy, clearer direction, and a more vibrant faith. The big idea of the message is simple but powerful: "Discover your SHAPE, boldly embrace your calling, and experience the joy of living on purpose with Jesus." If you're longing to understand how God can use your everyday life to make a real difference, this is a message you won't want to miss. Tune in and be encouraged to step into the purpose God created you for.

What does it look like to live a life shaped by the gospel, not just saved by it?In this first message of the Made to Serve series, John Gunter preaches from Philippians 1 and 2, calling the church to unity, humility, and Christlike service. This message challenges listeners to look beyond personal comfort and embrace the mindset of Jesus, who emptied himself, became a servant, and gave his life as an example for us to follow.Key Takeaways:Unity is not about agreeing on everything. It is about agreeing on the most important thingHumility lifts others up instead of lifting yourself upA gospel-shaped life reflects Jesus in relationships, service, and sacrifice

Slavery has been a ubiquitous practice throughout much of world history–and the Muslim world was no exception. Slave soldiers, concubines, and eunuchs can be found throughout Muslim writings—which, as Justin Marozzi points out in his book Captives and Companions: A History of Slavery and the Slave Trade in the Islamic World (Pegasus Books, 2025), ends up giving us a selective and narrow view of who slaves were, and what they did. Justin tries to dive into this history–sometimes very patchy history–to figure out the full extent of slavery in the Muslim world, from the very start of Muslim society, through the Ottoman Empire and the Barbary Pirates, to abolition and the final decision by Mauritania to abolish slavery in 1981. Justin Marozzi is a former Financial Times and Economist foreign correspondent. He is also the author of several books, including Baghdad: City of Peace, City of Blood (Allen Lane: 2014) and Islamic Empires: The Cities that Shaped the Modern World (Pegasus Books: 2020).
