Of the two biggest problems quantitative traders probably face, the first is over-optimization and the second is likely finding inspiration for new ideas. In-depth interviews with market wizards surely has to be one of the best ways to learn quickly, avoid common pitfalls and find untold amounts of inspiration hidden between the lines. Listening to experts that have been at it for decades, for me anyway, is an incredible education. In this show I invite you to again spend over an hour with Bob Pardo on the ins and outs of his trading, his philosophy and his edge. And the best bit is, this is just part 1 of 2. In the second part I'm going to deep-dive walk forward analysis with him and I'm sure I'll be walking away with some highly practical tips and tricks. Bob's career spans several decades of evolving market dynamics, groundbreaking system development, and a philosophy rooted in adaptability and robustness. His journey—from early days on the trading floor to pioneering walk forward analysis and working with the likes of Solomon Brothers, Dunn Capital, Daiwa Securities & Goldman Sachs—offers a compelling narrative for quantitative traders seeking both inspiration and technical insights.Intra-day Futures Traders and others - grab a chamomile tea and enjoy!www.thealgorithmicadvantage.com for contacts and more.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode we go all in on the biggest, most controversial and deeply conspiratorial rabbit holes in the whole universe… the 2001, September 11th terrorist attacks which ended the lives of over 3,000 people and ushered in an era of preemptive warfare without conditions of victory, the global surveillance state and the legalization of rendition and torture which looms large like a storm cloud over the national spirit to this very day day. In the free-show we get our hands dirty with facts gathered during the last breaths of real journalism, deep cuts of occult symbolism and cross-examine them with the “official story” to discover where in the details the devil is hiding.

It's a tough time to be an investor. There are cross-currents galore in the macro data, the financial headlines, policy decision-making, and market technicals. After the easy decade that followed the Great Financial Crisis where markets dependably churned higher year after year and you could make money just going long pretty much any stock or ETF and "buying the dips" along the way -- suddenly it's taking a lot more hard work to earn a good return. What are the keys to investing success in today's more uncertain environment? For guidance, we're fortunate to talk with Andy Constan, founder of the macroeconomic research firm Damped Spring. His work there builds on his earlier tenure at elite firms like Solomon Brothers, Bridgewater and Brevan Howard. He sees the likelihood of a 'soft landing' as low given today's economic challenges. And in his explanation, he delivers a detailed summary of how the Reverse Repo Programm (RRP) and the Bank Funding Term Program (BFTP) work.

He was the entrepreneur of six ventures and obtained a PhD & MBA in Entrepreneurship & Strategic Management, and with over 250 books, articles, presentations, and scholarships.Quotes:“He [Warren Buffet] was doing so many entrepreneurial things through his youth that he made $76,000 by the time he graduated.” [15:08] By the age of 10, Warren Buffett already knew he wanted to be an entrepreneur. Warren started his businesses early with youthful ventures like lemonade stands, selling bubble gum and coca cola door to door, and barbershop pinball machines.“In looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: Integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if they don't have the first, the other two will kill you.” [25:45] Marcel quotes Warren Buffett in this advice for hiring as a testament to Warren's good character. Todd Finkle, the guest and author of Warren Buffett: Investor and Entrepreneur, shares parts of Warren's history that contributed to his value of integrity. Beginning with strong family values but continuing with big life events like his court testimony in the case against the Solomon Brothers.What defines happiness? “Warren will tell you, it's how many people that love him…he won't say how many houses he has or the kind of car he has.” [33:42] Todd comments on Warren's philosophy of happiness, which revolves around love for others, generosity, and the people around you. For Warren, more important than money and success is leaving behind a legacy of love.“They're [Warren's shareholder meetings] are kind of a combination of a rock concert…a carnival…and a cult. …The people that go there are the best part.” [38:35] Many of Todd's insights on Warren come from his attendance at Warren's shareholder meetings, where he got to be face to face with the legend. Beyond the words coming straight for Warren, Todd shares that the environment and community at these meetings with smart, like minded people from all over the world are invaluable.“How to live a better life is so powerful and so important, if you're doing that you won't need as much money to be happy.” [42:06] Financial freedom, personal success, and living life to be happy—these are the lessons learned from Buffett and the takeaways author Todd Finkle hopes his readers will take to heart.Mentioned in this episode:Todd Finkle - LinkedInTodd A.

https://markdivine.com/ About Mark Divine Mark is from upstate New York and did his formal undergraduate education at Colgate University. His years at Colgate University were focused on athletic endeavors such as competitive swimming, rowing and triathlon racing, interrupted by brief episodes of academic activity. After graduation from “the Gate” Mark started his professional career as a CPA with Coopers & Lybrand in New York City. Clients included luminous and no-longer existent financial firms such as Solomon Brothers and Paine Webber. Four painful years later, with an MBA from NYU Stern School of Business in his briefcase, he left behind the suit to pursue his inner vision to become a Navy SEAL officer. He was 26 when he graduated as honor-man (#1 ranked trainee) of his SEAL BUD/s class 171. Mark was fortunate to serve with many great men and women on active duty for nine year and in the reserves for eleven…retiring at the rank of Commander in 2011. After leaving active duty in 1997, Mark started his second business career as an entrepreneur. He co-founded the successful Coronado Brewing Company and launched NavySEALs.com in the year he left the active duty Navy. NavySEALs.com is the leading web site for gear and information about the SEALs. US Tactical was next, gaining contracts with Naval Special Warfare Group ONE for training support, and the Navy Recruiting Command for a nationwide mentoring program for SEAL, SWCC, EOD and Diver candidates. Mark's business career was interrupted by a stint as an Adjunct Professor of Leadership at the University of San Diego, where he was pursuing his Doctorate in Leadership, then by a one year recall to active duty in 2004. The recall took him to Baghdad with SEAL Team One to conduct a special project for Naval Special Warfare Command surrounding the role of the USMC in Special Operations. In 2007 he launched his CrossFit affiliate and the now internationally known SEALFIT program to provide transformational personal and team training experiences. The training utilizes an integrated warrior development model he developed, called Unbeatable Mind, which draws from his 20 years as a SEAL and business leader, 25 years as a martial artist and 15 years as yoga practitioner. SEALFIT and Unbeatable Mind are uniquely effective at elevating clients to a higher level of operating, thinking and leading – encompassing the full spectrum of human experience – Body, Mind and Spirit in Self, Team and Organization.

We are excited to host a dear friend, David Soloman, on the Mangu.tv podcast. He is the founding steward of the world's largest forum of indigenous people. He is one of the world's leading voices in nation building in East Africa, Latin America, and Europe. Throughout his life he has raised 3.5 billion dollars for developing countries, and his project, Spirit 1st is about to be unveiled to the world. He once worked at Solomon Brothers as an investment banker, but at some point he was disillusioned and left what was once his dream job. He went to Indonesia to help orphans, and where he ended up studying martial arts. Practicing martial arts was his doorway into spirit, the deep discipline opened the path to a journey of faith. He gave up everything, including his income, and went on a journey of searching for meaning and significance. David shares with us the incredible adventures he encountered on his path to awakening, from Indonesia to Sinai, and his deep understanding of the different layers of awakening of the soul. David and Giancarlo also discuss what is necessary for humanity to awaken and thrive on this planet, which is regeneration, localization and bridging the gap between mind, body and spirit. In order to move beyond our colonial history and to stop being driven by greed, we must bring back the sacred, celebration and community.

On this episode, we talked about: Taking back control of my mind Guys shut down their emotions Your whole body is your mind Visualize how to do different things Learning how to meditate Breath, concentrate, meditate and breath again How to visualize success and have micro-goals Having more compassion and understanding Being compassionate to yourself and to others Having a balanced approached to life Balancing the yin and the yang Recognition of your intuition Slowing down and looking within Training the mind through training the body Having creativity and innovation Developing mental toughness in our life   "When you meditate, you train your mind and part of your mind is  your emotional body-mind"   "I went from "Mark wants to be a navy seal to Mark is a navy seal", I went from desire to certainty"   "I think you have to have the hard and the soft, the yin and the yang, and a balanced approach is the enduring approach"   About Mark: Mark is a highly sought after speaker, coach, author and makes frequent media appearances to discuss Seal's way of life Mark Divine is from upstate New York with a degree in economics from Colgate University and an MBA in Finance from New York University Stern School of Business. Mark's first career was with Coopers & Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouse Coopers) as a Certified Public Accountant. Clients included luminous financial firms such as Solomon Brothers and Paine Weber. Four years after joining Coopers, Mark left behind the corporate world to pursue his vision to become an elite Navy SEAL officer. At 26 he graduated as honor-man (#1 ranked trainee) of his SEAL BUD/s class number 170. Mark served for nine years total on Active Duty and eleven as a Reserve SEAL, retiring as Commander in 2011. Mark embarked on his third career as an entrepreneur in 1996 by co-founding the successful Coronado Brewing Company (CBC) and founding the web e-commerce site www.NavySEALs.com. He later sold his interest in CBC, but continues to run NavySEALs.com as the leading website for gear and information about the SEALs. In 2006 he launched US Tactical, a government contracting business where he gained contracts with Naval Special Warfare Group ONE for training support and with the Navy Recruiting Command for a nationwide mentoring program for SEAL trainees. This latter program was credited with increasing the quality of Navy SEAL candidates and reducing the attrition rate at BUD/s by up to 5% and was the inspiration for SEALFIT. Mark was an adjunct professor of leadership at the University of San Diego, where he left a Ph.D. program due to the Iraq war Reserve call-up. In Baghdad with the SEALs again in 2004, he conducted a special study for the DOD on the role of the USMC in the Special Operations Community. Upon return home, he decided to focus fully on his business and family. Mark is an accomplished martial artist with black belts in Seido and Goju Ryu Karate, a military hand-to-hand combat certification in SCARS and senior ranking in Saito Ninjutsu. He is a teacher trained in Ashtanga Yoga, and created the innovative Unbeatable Warrior Yoga program taught to his students. After working with thousands of special ops candidates and professionals developing mental toughness, Mark self-published his first book Unbeatable Mind in 2011 and launched the at-home study program www.unbeatablemind.com. He is also the author of The Way of the SEAL published by Readers Digest and 8 Weeks to SEALFIT published by St. Martins Press. SEALFIT is uniquely effective at developing elite-level physical fitness and mental toughness. The program has helped thousands to operate at an entirely new level in their personal and professional lives and is used by military, first responders and sheepdog-like professionals of all stripes worldwide. Mark is a highly sought-after speaker for corporations where his Unbeatable Mind program is helping to forge mental toughness among business leaders. He lives in Encinitas, CA., several blocks from the SEALFIT Training Center, the 20,000 square foot facility where he enjoys training with his family and team.   You can follow and support Mark at:  Web: https://unbeatablemind.com/ IG: @realmarkdivine Podcast: The Mark Divine Show   Let's connect over on Instagram: @Johnny.Elsasser

Bio: Jack Daly is a leading sales speaker and trainer with over 30 years of sales and executive experience. Jack's track record is a testament to his real-world knowledge and extensive expertise in sales and sales management. He started his professional journey at the CPA firm, Arthur Andersen, and rose to the CEO level of several corporations, building six companies into national firms along the way, two of which he subsequently sold to the Wall Street firms of Solomon Brothers and First Boston.

Jack Daly is an Amazon Best Selling Author and has written and contributed to many books, including Hyper Sales Growth and The Sales Playbook for Hyper Sales Growth. Jack is a 15-time Ironman competitor and has completed over 93 marathons in 50 states and on seven continents. He achieves these goals and lives life to the fullest by following his own Life by Design techniques. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Jack currently resides in San Clemente, California. Jack's story On six different occasions, between the ages of 26 and 46, Jack sketched out a business plan and convinced others to join him. They grew those companies in the US to become national firms, two of which were sold to Wall Street.  For the last 25 years, Jack has been touring the world as a professional speaker and helping people grow their businesses.  Endurance racing Jack has run many marathons. A few months back, he completed his hundredth. He has also done fifteen full and several half Iron Man competitions. US Army Jack joined the ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) when he was in college. Even though he has a Bachelor's and a Master's degree, the courses that made the most difference in his adult life were those related to the military. They taught him to be disciplined, focused, goal-oriented, and responsible and gave him insight into communications skills, systems, and processes. How leaders are built  As an adult, Jack has been fortunate to visit all the military schools to see how leaders get built. Measuring Jack measures everything! He has been at it for over sixty years. Every year, he adds a few more things relative to his life as it evolves. He enjoys making year-to-year comparisons as he grows and matures.  Discipline  You need to be disciplined in how you invest and spend your time and what you do with it. A positive mindset Jack has faced many challenges in his life. He uses the mantra: “Focus on that which you have control over” to help him stay upbeat in attitude.  Discussions Before Jack lost his wife to cancer, he had discussions with her about how he should take her passing and how he should behave afterward. They decided that he should hug the memories and then craft a plan for his future.  Going forward Jack's military training taught him to do his best and keep on focusing forward.  The tenth-fastest-growing company in the US In 1998, Jack owned the tenth-fastest-growing company in the US. One year later, he had to let 240 people go in one day. It was terrible, but he focused on the few people he had left and re-built the company. A happy life Jack is now re-married to a client he has known for more than twenty years. He is living a happy life!  Good advice When he was thirteen, Jack interviewed fifty successful people and asked them for advice. One of the things they told him was to be focused, not to try to do too many things, and set a date for getting them done. Then, they advised him to measure everything and share it with others to pressure himself. He has detailed that process in his new book, and he has also included blank templates for people to use to design their lives.  A less than ideal life Jack has observed many who are successful in businesses but have lived less than ideal personal lives. A successful life Jack can only help those who know what they want, so he challenges you, the listener, to define and measure what a successful life means to you. Jack Daly's Life by Design  Jack wrote the book Jack Daly's Life by Design for anyone who wants to lead an exceptional life. He also wrote it as a legacy for his kids and his grandkids. An important message from Jack  A chapter in Jack's bo explains that you are never too old. Even though he is 73 years old and has lived an exceptional life, he believes that his best years are still ahead of him! Personal values You need to know your values to design your way to success. Jack's book starts by asking readers if they know what their personal values are. That is because the definition of success is personal, and it differs for every individual. Marathons Jack ran his first marathon when he was 46 years old. After that, he ran one a year for the next ten years.

Jack has fifteen “Iron Man” titles. He has played golf at over ninety-five of the top one hundred golf courses in the USA, he has completed ninety-five marathons in all fifty states in the USA, and he has bungee jumped the world's first and largest bungee jumps.  Jack is joining us today to speak about systems and processes, entrepreneurship, and business owners in the meetings and events industry. You will learn a lot from what he has to share!  Jack Daly's bio: Jack Daly is an experienced and inspirational sales trainer and sales coaching expert who inspires audiences to take action in the areas of sales management, corporate culture, and sales training. He brings over 30 years of field-proven experience from a starting base with CPA firm Arthur Andersen to the CEO level of several national companies. Jack is a proven CEO/Entrepreneur, having built six companies into national firms, two of which he has subsequently sold to the Wall Street firms of Solomon Brothers and First Boston. Jack's role as a sales trainer extraordinaire has helped craft “street-tested” sales methodologies that help create truly successful sales professionals and profitable companies. His professional sales trainer know-how has turned him into an accomplished sales coaching authority and author of books including Hyper Sales Growth, The Sales Playbook for Hyper Sales Growth, and Paper Napkin Wisdom, all Amazon #1 Bestsellers. Jack is an Ironman on five continents and has completed 95 marathons in over 50 states. He was married to his high school sweetheart Bonnie for 48 years before her passing in 2017, and is the proud grandfather to two grandsons and a new granddaughter. Jack received his B.S. from LaSalle University, an MBA from Wilmington College, and held the rank of Captain in the U.S. Army. His own business Jack knew at a very early age that he wanted to have his own business. When he was thirteen, he spent the summer interviewing two hundred accomplished businesspeople to find out how they became successful. They taught him that understanding numbers was vital when running a business. An accountant Jack became educated as an accountant and then went to work at Arthur Anderson directly after school. After that, he bounced around a bit in the corporate world to get his bearings on how the big companies ran because he wanted to own a big company one day. His own business He started with his own business when he was twenty-six and remained at it for the next twenty years. Since then, he has continued to run a business. He views his current business differently, however, because it is a quality-of-life speaking business. It all started with sales Although he trained as an accountant, Jack has always had a focus on sales. At thirteen, he had five employees delivering the newspapers he sold, and he grew his customer base from 32 to 275 in one year. That was where it all started for him. Southern California In 1985, Jack moved to Southern California to start a company. He started with four people, and in eighteen months, he grew it organically to 750 people. In the first three years, they made $42,000,000 in earnings, not revenue. Inspiration In the early nineties, while Jack was building that company, one of his employees hired Jim Pratte to help them grow. Jack was so impressed with Jim that he decided to take him along to his twenty-two other locations. Over the next three months, Jack learned about Jim's life and how he was helping people and companies grow. That inspired Jack to want to do the same thing.  Jack Daly's philosophy on systems and processes Jack is all about systems and processes. He believes that you should build the practices that work best in your business. You should then build your processes based on those best practices, hire people, and get them to practice those best practices. The rest will take care of itself. A formula for better sales results Figure out what your top people are doing. Get those things into your system and sales process. Then have the rest of your salespeople practice that. Everybody's game will improve as a result. Military courses The courses that Jack took while in the military had a long-lasting impact on his life. They taught him about leadership in an ownership-type way. They also taught him about communication, public speaking, and the value of systems and processes. The three sins of sales management The three sins of sales management are: When a great salesperson becomes the new Sales Director, and things start to fail. When the owner or entrepreneur also wears the hat of the salesperson or Sales Manager. When the best salesperson gets made the Sales Manager, and they are also expected to sell in their territory. There are cases where Jack has identified success after taking a salesperson and making them the Sales Manager. There are very few of those cases, however. What typically happens is that you lose your best salesperson and get a mediocre Sales Manager. Often, the good salesperson misses the act of selling and leaves the company to go and sell for someone else. Jack Daly's advice for business owners regarding sales If you have sufficient capital when you start your business, grow your sales force in quantity and quality. If you hire the right person to ensure that happens and you pay them correctly, they should pay for themselves with the increased business that their team generates in under a year. CEO coaching Jack has been doing CEO coaching telephonically for the last four years. He allows about twenty-five percent of his clients to commit the first sin of being in charge of the sales team and being the CEO. He only does that because those CEOs do not have enough capital.  Part of the answer Jack's ideal view of compensation for salespeople is 100% commission only. Also, at least 50% of the overall compensation of the Sales Manager should be predicated on the results of their team's sales.  Paying salespeople a significant amount of money Jack has no problem with paying salespeople a significant amount of money. He had salespeople working for him who made seven figures when he, as the owner, was not earning that much. He does not believe in capping commissions. A sales playbook Jack is creating and packaging a sales playbook. It will be Thin to Win, and contain the processes and words that have helped the owners of small businesses become successful. After the book is complete, Jack will have regular practice sessions with salespeople, following that playbook. Inc. 500 Jack built six companies from scratch to become national firms. All six were very fast-growing, and one of them got to number ten on the Inc. 500 list. Jack had 120 salespeople in that company, and all of them spent a minimum of one hour every day practicing.  Practice is the key Incessant practice is the key to success. Jack feels that sports teams are better run than most businesses. He points out that a coach would not consider putting a player on the field without a playbook and the practice that adjoins the playbook.  Double your sales More than 50% of a salesperson's time gets spent on doing things that have nothing to do with bringing new customers in or growing the ones they have. The definition of sales is: Get new wins. Grow the ones you have. That means that if you get everything else out of the way and let the salespeople sell, you can double your sales without hiring an additional salesperson.   For the biggest impact You need to make a list of all the tasks and delegate those you can to the right people. Then figure out the things that will make the biggest impact and move the needle the most. Focus on those.  The secret potion Opening a business is a risk. Keeping everything under control is a bigger risk. Build systems and processes that work, and then delegate and empower your people to do the work. Let go, and let your people do what you hired them to do. Culture A culture, like systems and processes, needs to reflect the changing times. Some aspects of culture will never change, though. Human beings will always want to be recognized and rewarded. So taking the time to build the processes for regular and ongoing recognition is a significant foundation in any company culture. People also want to know how the company is doing, where it is heading, and how they are doing. So having processes in place for consistent communication is vital.

In a year that witnessed the price of oil diving from $65 to below –$40 per barrel, we have also seen the price of bitcoin advance from $3,915 in March to a new all-time high above $28,365 this week. A host of extraordinary factors contributed to these outcomes. Our sense is the value drivers in digital assets remain far more mysterious for most observers.To help unpack what is going on in bitcoin and why, we are fortunate this week to be able to draw on the expertise of Daniel Masters. Danny is the Executive Chairman of CoinShares, a pioneering firm in digital asset management. CoinShares launched the world’s first regulated bitcoin investment fund in 2014, offered the world’s first bitcoin-based securities on a regulated exchange in 2015, and regularly publishes white papers on the digital asset ecosystem to help educate the public.In this fascinating conversation, Danny explains why digital assets are better thought of as networks and utilities, rather than as mere ‘digital gold’. He elaborates on how these tools are presently achieving a new level of maturity and what that evolution holds for the future of payment systems and physical logistics worldwide.Mr. Masters is no stranger to the land of commodities. Earlier in his career, Danny traded oil for Shell and Solomon Brothers and served as Global Head of Energy Trading at Morgan Guaranty Trust Company, now J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.Colin Fenton sets the table with some charts that situate bitcoin’s valuation relative to technical signals and the trillions of dollars in new debt that have been deployed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.Thank you for watching this video, COBT’s final offering for 2020.

In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking to one of my mentors and friends Jack Daly. Jack is an incredible individual and has built a life by design. He shares what it takes to be successful in marriage, family, business, and fitness.  Jack is a leading sales speaker and trainer with over 30 years of sales and executive experience. Jack’s track record is a testament to his real-world knowledge and extensive expertise in sales and sales management. Professionally he’s been CEO of several corporations, built six companies into national firms along the way, two of which he subsequently sold to the Wall Street firms of Solomon Brothers and First Boston. Additionally, Jack was a captain in the U.S. Army, is the best selling author of multiple books including:  Hyper Sales Growth and The Sales Playbook for Hyper Sales Growth. He is a 15-time Ironman competitor and has completed marathons in all 50 states and 7 continents! 

Jack Daly is an ambitious, disciplined and driven businessman who began meticulously mapping-out his rise to success at a very young age. When he was just 13-years-old, he interviewed more than 200 successful CEOs and business leaders to understand the mindset and habits needed to be a world-class leader. It was Jack’s fascination with and commitment to excellence, that propelled him to lead several national companies, author ten books, launch an international speaking career and compete in some of the most grueling athletic events around the world. But it wasn’t always like that. In today’s episode, Jack talks about the ups and downs and twists and turns inherent in a decades-long career and personal journey that includes building six companies into national firms — two of which were sold to the Wall Street firms of Solomon Brothers and First Boston — as well as completing 15 IronMan triathlons in 8 countries, on 5 continents, and completing a marathon in every U.S. state.   Show Notes: HowieDoinIt.com/25 Subscribe, Rate, & Review: http://howiedoinit.com/subscribe Connect with Howie: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube Ask Howie: If you want Howie to answer your questions in an upcoming episode, drop him a line at questions@howiedoinit.com

If financial risk doesn’t confuse you, you’re not paying attention. That’s advisable. Market minutia gets treated like breaking news around the world, and people listen even though it’s “a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing,” as the late Jack Bogle told me in 2017 (and Shakespeare wrote a few hundred years earlier).But the mad moron has a megaphone. Traders listen and then act altogether, which makes them feel like risk exists in two states: on and off. It’s not so binary in real life.I’ve pasted a slide from Deutsche Bank’s 2019 market outlook below. At first glance, it shows that risk comes in at least thirty flavors. But seventeen of the scary things it lists have happened, and US Equity markets are just a hair’s breadth from all-time-highs. So are these things even risks? Ashby and I weren’t sure when we sat down to tape the last episode of Free Money, so we decided to phone a friend: Rick Bookstaber. He’s the chief risk officer for the University of California’s investment funds—which oversee roughly $120 billion—and a founder of the financial technology firm Talagent. Before that, he developed risk models to assess vulnerabilities and help stabilize the U.S. financial system at the US Treasury after the financial crisis and served as chief risk officer at Bridgewater, Moore Capital, Solomon Brothers, and Morgan Stanley. He also wrote The End of Theory, an in-depth look at how to account for the human complexity of our financial system.In other words, we were glad he picked up. We talked about how agent-based modeling can be used to build a better picture of what’s happening in the markets and why you’re better off ignoring the ones which most often make headlines, like Brexit and the trade wars. Then as always, we took questions from our listeners. Check out the podcast to find out how the office ball pit below featured in our conversation. I am an Indian citizen, but has kept its money in Swiss bank accounts since my grandfather's time. As of this month, government has all my account details. I'm worried they are going to take my money. What can I do?I run a venture-backed startup in Austin, and the firm that led my "A" round is based in China. I love working with them, but worry that the trade war will somehow affect their ability to follow on in later rounds of funding and doom our company. Am I wrong to worry about this? What should I do?I'm a few years out of business school, working at a multinational company that signed onto the Business Roundtable's recent statement about shareholder value. Their words are nice, but nothing seems to have changed. Should I whistleblow? Would anyone care? Would it help? Get on the email list at freemoney.substack.com
