In this special bonus episode of WSJ's Take On the Week, co-host Telis Demos is joined by social-media content creator and economic commentator Kyla Scanlon, who has helped transform how younger generations, specifically Gen Z, are engaging with news about the economy and finance. Through platforms like TikTok, Instagram and Substack, Scanlon has cultivated a dedicated audience of more than half a million people by simplifying complex economic data with creativity and humor. Recognized for coining the term “vibecession,” to highlight the disconnect between economic data and consumers, Scanlon has garnered attention from White House advisers and the Federal Reserve. In this episode, we'll explore how economic trends like meme stocks (think GameStop and AMC) and cryptocurrencies are changing things for younger investors. Plus, we chat about best practices to consider when using social media for financial advice and how to avoid the “bad actors” that are spreading misinformation or scamming people.

This week, we have a special market trends episode from the recently relaunched WSJ's Take On the Week podcast. AI was a big stock market theme in 2024. We've talked about it, and heard it many times. But it was far from the only thing that happened in stocks last year. We saw record-breaking growth from power companies like Vistra. Cult stocks like Palantir and MicroStrategy also had a moment. And of course, Nvidia, a company that needs no introduction, had a blockbuster year. But where there are winners, there are also losers. The announcement of Walgreens' potential sale highlighted the challenges within the retail pharmacy sector. Shares of biotech company Moderna also slumped, partly due to waning demand for its Covid-19 vaccine and booster. And discount chain Dollar Tree took a hit as its shoppers showed signs of belt-tightening. For our first Sunday episode of 2025, WSJ's Take On the Week co-hosts Gunjan Banerji and Telis Demos are joined by colleagues from WSJ's Heard on the Street column to discuss 2024's stock market winners and losers and what those stock performances and other market trends could mean for investors and the economy in the year ahead. And if you like what you hear, be sure to check out WSJ's Take On the Week.

On yesterday's show I speculated on some of the reasons why the Fed might have pivoted. These reasons all sounded pretty plausible. Then I listened to an interview with Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee, who was on the Fed's rate-setting committee this year. He spoke with the WSJ's Take On the Week podcast host to discuss why “all things are on the table” when it comes to interest rates, including potential rate hikes, and why he thinks there is still a risk of recession. Plus: what's keeping him up at night, and why he says it may be time for the Fed to shift its focus from inflation to the slowing U.S. labor market. Naturally, Austan Goolsbee was careful not to make any predictions. But he did provide some meaningful insights as to why the change of heart at the Fed. He was asked about the spectrum of opinions across the members of the Fed. While all of the FOMC board members and all of the regional bank presidents have a voice at the table, not all members have a vote. There is a rotating voting structure where each board member serves a term on the rate setting committee. In retrospect, I totally missed what was an obvious reason for the change. The Fed is well known for relying on the so-called Phillips curve as one of the core financial models when it comes to understanding the economy.
The financial markets seem convinced that interest rates are poised to come down next year. But officials at the Federal Reserve aren't committing to rate cuts yet.

Welcome back to After Dark! Sometime ago I dropped episode #43 After Dark which was basically my take on evaluating the best firearms instructors in the community. Our guest Mark Ackenback ticks all the boxes. After spending two days with Mark out on the range I went through a defensive pistol and defensive carbine course and was thoroughly impressed. I previously spent one-on-one time with Mark doing some pistol work but this time around I had the opportunity to get into some of the burning questions I had. You won't know until you do but Mark is highly reputable and a highly demanded firearms instructor that I've had the absolute pleasure to learn from.Purchase Tickets At: California Range Weekendhttps://axiomtg.com/Episode Sponsor:BioProtein Technology: https://bioproteintech.com/For $30 off your order use code "IRONSIGHTS" at checkout.BioPro+ can potentially help to improve balance hormones, increase sex drive, improves insulin sensitivity, and produce increases of mitochondria and nucleic acids to create a total system modulator.
