Podcasts about things that make you go hmmm

Grant Williams, author of “Things That Make You Go Hmmm…” and host of The Grant Williams podcast, joins Julia La Roche on episode 255 where he discusses what he calls a fundamental "100-year pivot" reshaping the global landscape. Sponsor: This episode is brought to you by Monetary Metals. https://monetary-metals.com/julia Williams warns that we've entered an "air pocket" where tariff impacts haven't yet fully manifested in corporate earnings but will soon emerge with significant consequences. He emphasizes a crucial mindset shift from "getting rich" to "staying rich," urging investors to prioritize capital preservation over chasing returns. Williams provides thought-provoking insights on gold's rise reflecting central bank diversification away from US treasuries, the questioning of foundational institutions, and why even his natural cynicism wasn't enough to prepare for the current economic climate. Throughout, he stresses that these changes extend far beyond markets, representing a once-in-a-generation transformation that requires deep reflection.Links: https://www.grant-williams.com/ https://twitter.com/ttmygh0:00 - Intro and welcome back Grant Williams0:54 - Big picture macro view question1:35 - Market uncertainty and volatility discussion5:52 - Signs of tariff effects appearing in data7:06 - Return to company fundamentals vs stock pricing7:35 - Question about holding liquidity8:18 - Buffett stepping down significance10:38 - Recent important diplomatic shifts with China and Japan14:53 - Discussion of "100 year pivot" and generational change18:01 - Understanding the new world we're navigating22:03 - Investment vs trading distinction in changing markets25:00 - Shift from "getting rich" to "staying rich" mindset27:19 - Gold discussion34:38 - Future of the US dollar40:14 - Shift to domestic-focused economic policies42:22 - Protecting assets vs making money in the new paradigm48:33 - Risks keeping Grant up at night52:29 - Not being "cynical enough" realization57:26 - Problems beyond markets affecting everyday lives59:56 - Final thoughts

Grant Williams, author of “Things That Make You Go Hmmm…” and host of The Grant Williams podcast, joins Julia La Roche on episode 206 for a wide-ranging conversation on macro. ✨ This episode is sponsored by Public.com. Lock in your 6.6% yield: https://public.com/julia ✨ Paid endorsement for Public Investing, Inc. Not investment advice. All investing involves the risk of loss, including loss of principal. Brokerage services for US Listed and registered securities, options and Bonds in a self-directed brokerage account are offered by Public Investing. ETFs, options and Bonds are available to US members only. *A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Public Investing, member FINRA/SIPC. Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 fractional investment-grade and high-yield bonds. The 6.6% yield is the average annualized yield to maturity (YTM) across all ten bonds in the Bond Account, before fees, as of 9/18/2024. A bond's yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate, and a bond's YTM is “locked in” when the bond is purchased. Your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTM is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTM of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity, or if the issuer calls or defaults on the bond. While corporate bond yields should fall in reaction to a Federal Reserve rate cut, we cannot know whether that will be true of the bonds in the Bond Account, how quickly bond yields will respond, or how much they will decline. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations.

On this week's episode of THE FINANCIAL COMMUTE, host Chris Galeski welcomes CEO Jeff Sarti to review our 2024 Investor Symposium, and the topics discussed at the event.Here are some key takeaways from their discussion:- Grant Williams, our keynote speaker and author of Things That Make You Go Hmmm…, highlighted his thoughts on the election, the polarization in the U.S., concerns over rising debt levels globally, interest rate policies, and gold as a source of value against currency debasement. - Jeff and Chris also touch on Sasan Faiz's panel with Gus Araya from Cordillera, “New Trends in Investing.” They talked about niche investments like agricultural lending, whiskey aging, and boat marine investments, outside of traditional stocks and bonds.- Another session led by Mikey Taylor, Brian Farwell and Chris, explored California's housing shortage. The state only builds around 100,000 to 150,000 new housing units a year, far below what is needed to meet the demand. - One of the most popular sessions was “Estate and Tax Law Changes Coming Down the Pipeline” led by Brian Standing, Scott Gilmore and Stacey McKinnon. They discussed how the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is set to expire in 2025, reducing the estate tax exemption limit. The speakers highlighted the importance of considering tax-efficient strategies and staying aware of estate taxes as laws begin to sunset and inflation grows. Thank you to everyone who attended our symposium! We hope you were able to leave the event with more knowledge and confidence in your financial future. We plan to release recordings of the sessions on our YouTube channel in the coming months. Please keep an eye out for these videos if you were not able to attend or would like to rewatch the conversations.

Are you IN or OUT of LOVE at this time? Is love a magical force that conditionally requires two entities to come into your reality? Or is it unconditional and something that already exists?

Come relax, reestablish and renew your love at the Sati Experience. https://www.satiexperience.com         Highlights: 0:00 - Intro 3:31 - I AM LOVE - Set yourself Free to just BE 6:14 - Do I need another person to be in love? 8:59 - Polishing the mirror by Ram Das 11:45 - Conditional vs. Unconditional Love? 13:06 - The hard problem of love? Where does it come from? 19:16 - It's gonna take some PRACTION (Practicing Action) SHOW NOTES:  I AM LOVE: The minute you can shift from I would be fine if i were this way to I AM you will set yourself free to simply BE. Be who? You, that's who. And if you allow yourself to bask in it with no distractions? Being you is pretty cool isn't it? No one else is like you. You are one of a kind aren't you? Let's take this day and focus on recognizing that I AM that makes you, and learn to see it in others. I AM LOVE. I AM ENERGY. I AM AWARENESS. Fascinated with the feeling and act of being IN love. I was curious if humans require another person to be IN LOVE or is it that person we have found or seek that allows you to express that which you already are? There is something called AGAPE LOVE? In the Bible, agape is a Greek word that describes a selfless, universal, and unconditional love that is characterized by self-sacrifice and loving others. It appears frequently in the New Testament, but rarely in other ancient Greek literature. The word comes from the verb agapan, which means "to greet with affection". However, it starts with loving yourself. I was exposed to a cool theory the other day that said that when two people are in love, that is just their souls hanging out with one another. Experiencing life freely with each other.  In reading the book, Polishing the Mirror by Ram Das and diving deep into his work elsewhere, he speaks about the fact that if we strip away everything that we are seeking in life. I call it the “ER”. HappiER, HealthiER, WealthiER. We are all seekers of the er no? Strip all that desire away, what are you left with? You are left with that which you are. The, I AM. What can you recognize about yourself after taking everything away in your life that is not you? That's your I AM. When it comes to that love you seek or crave, isn't that something already inside you that you want to let out? To be IN LOVE? I just find it fascinating because there is often an illusion that's been created by a world that offers for the most part conditional love. From what we've learned, love has rules and circumstances doesn't it. We have our brushes through parents and the right spouse that offer unconditional love. But even that has conditions, no? But like the hard problem of consciousness, ie; us not understanding what exactly it is or where it is created. Where does love come from? Does it require two entities? Does it come from an outside force? Like a magnet, does it require a positive and negative force? Your love for your spouse, your children, your pet, your job, your best friend, or perhaps your life at this time? Are these things required for you to be in love? Or is love who and what you are? Already inside you. You're I AM. Can you see that we are all hungry to be in a state of love? Most commonly interpersonal romantic love. But this has a shelf life which concerns us. It's gonna inevitably end one day, no? What I love about meditation is that it allows me to strip away the dependency from all external things and unveil that I am in fact already in love. This state often makes me want to share this love with others and external forces. Can you see that in thinking love requires an outside force or another person, we are often prompted to take possession of those you love as your own? Through forming friendships, marriage and parenting or even owning a pet. All the while unconscious to the fact that there resides an unlimited supply of love in the awakening that it is the primal source and main ingredient in what makes you, you. Get a grasp on this concept and awakening and it will help you gain clarity in many aspects of your life's desires which is where we struggle the most. If you can start to affirm and embrace each start of your day in recognition of this by stating I AM LOVE. It will help put many things in perspective and allow you to slow down your love hunger drive and allow yourself to be grateful in the present moment. When it comes to the things you possess that allow you to express more of what you already are? Your spouse etc.. Perhaps you can do so with a simple state of gratitude for them as they have come into your life to remind you of who you are? How cool is that. Look at the person next to you that you are in love with. Consider what that means in this context? You are already in love, as are they. Yet for whatever reasons unique to your energy and life experiences, the two of you offer one another a safe and effective space to feel and express love. This form of gratitude comes from appreciating them for allowing you to express your true self. Sometimes we are fortunate to find our way into a group of others that create a safe space to express and bask in the love of one another. In Buddhism there is something called Satsang or Sangha, that translates to "community of seekers after the truth" and is also known as sangha. It's a spiritual community where people gather with like-minded individuals, especially those on a spiritual path, to work on themselves and others, and to share food, stories, and kirtan. Satsang can also refer to a group of people engaged in a spiritual dialogue. For those frustrated that they are not in love and think that feeling is conditional to you finding the right person? Now you understand that you are needlessly suffering due to you thinking love is conditional. No. Love is unconditional because you are love. When you find someone to share that space with, yes, it will be nice and you too will be grateful for it and them. Just like you are grateful when the sun rises and creates what you call a nice day. But a nice day can exist like love, anytime you choose. Make Sense?  

We are celebrating our 100th episode of THE FINANCIAL COMMUTE this week! Thank you for listening and supporting Chris and our guests these past two years. We are excited to continue empowering our listeners with financial confidence and knowledge through this podcast. To make this episode extra special, host Chris Galeski had a conversation with Grant Williams, author of Things That Make You Go Hmmm…, host of The Grant Williams Podcast and co-founder of Real Vision.  Here are some key takeaways from their discussion:- It is important to decide if you are a speculator or an investor. - Investors must be patient and adopt a long-term perspective in their investment strategies, focusing on the intrinsic value of what they are buying, and aiming to hold assets for extended periods of time, often through fluctuations.- A speculator's primary goal is to capitalize on market trends. This can be riskier since they are trying to time the market, which is often impossible. - Grant highlights gold as a reliable store of value during turbulent times.- With increasing geopolitical risks, high debt levels, inflation, and upcoming policy decisions, this is a time of instability where investors need to not only worry about growing their wealth but keeping it. - Grant encourages investors to stay updated with the news and consider how governments and central banks may react to certain events or solve issues, and how their policies could impact one's investments. It is important to be adaptable in your financial strategy as circumstances change.- Grant also shares his thoughts on the upcoming U.S. election and potential tax policies of each candidate.

During that time, he's lived and worked in seven major financial centres from London to Sydney, building the kind of network that many others can only dream about.He began his career in the Japanese equity market in the mid-1980s, before a three-year posting to Tokyo ensured he had a ringside seat as the twin bubbles in equities and real estate burst simultaneously and spectacularly at the end of 1989. After a short stint back in London, Grant relocated once again, this time to New York, where he spent 7 years. Subsequent postings have taken him to Hong Kong, Sydney, Singapore, and the Cayman Islands.Currently, he is a senior advisor to Matterhorn Asset Management AG https://goldswitzerland.com/ in Switzerland, and a portfolio and strategy advisor to Vulpes Investment Management https://www.vulpesinvest.com/ in Singapore.Back in 2014, Grant's ambition to bring the most intelligent, engaging, and original people in finance to a wider audience led him to co-found Real Vision https://www.realvision.com/, an on-demand internet-based financial media platform.Grant's twin Real Vision interview series, 'In Conversation With…' and 'On The Road' raised the bar for financial content – engaging and educating viewers in equal measure and helping them learn the secrets behind a group of extraordinary investors' success.Long before Real Vision, however, Grant was guiding people around the fringes of finance with his regular newsletter, Things That Make You Go Hmmm… https://www.grant-williams.com/ttmygh_newsletters/, a publication which, from humble beginnings as a daily note to a few friends and colleagues, has grown into one of the most widely-read financial publications in the world.Grant Williams - Website - https://www.grant-williams.com/Twitter - https://twitter.com/ttmyghWTFinance -Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/wtfinancee/Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/67rpmjG92PNBW0doLyPvfnTikTok - https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeUjj9xV/iTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wtfinance/id1554934665?uo=4Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-fatseas-761066103/Twitter - https://twitter.com/AnthonyFatseas

Joining me in this episode of The Grant Williams Podcast is the Sydney-based CEO of Freelancer.com, Matt Barrie. Matt was recently invited to give the opening keynote at the Sydney Morning Herald's Sydney 2050 Summit and, it's safe to say that, once Matt left the stage 40 minutes later, the room had been stunned into silence. The Australia Matt laid bare was a long way from the idyllic, sun-kissed 'Lucky Country' of popular consciousness and far more in keeping with the portrait painted in the pages of Things That Make You Go Hmmm... over the last several years, so it was with great relish that I invited Matt onto the podcast to tell that same story and discuss the reaction to it. The full text of Matt's stellar speech can be found HERE and a video of his opening keynote is HERE. I'd strongly urge listeners to either read or watch Matt's speech in full. It is, as they say Down Under, a ripper!

Bill and Grant return for a no-holds-barred conversation with the great Steve Eisman of The Eisman Group within Neuberger Berman. Steve is no stranger,  thanks both to his exploits during the GFC and the stupendous portrayal of those exploits by Steve Carell in the movie version of Michael Lewis' wonderful book, The Big Short. Steve explains the history of paradigm shifts and tells us why he feels we are at the point of another major change - not only in the investment landscape but also in broader society.  The recent meltdown in the mid-size banking sector comes under the microscope, as do Fed policy, lofty valuations, a likely return to a more familiar investment world, the tech reckoning and the purveyor of a certain set of ETFs focused on 'exponential growth' stocks. Fun for all the family!

My returning guest in this edition of The Grant Williams Podcast is my friend Peter Atwater, Founder of Financial Insyghts and Adjunct Professor at the College of William & Mary. Peter's stellar work on the importance of mood and confidence has long been an important touchpoint for me when evaluating market conditions and likely paths ahead - never more so than this week. Given recent events, I wanted to try and add something to a conversation that has become noisier by the day. There are plenty of opinions and perspectives flying around (to which I'll add my own in this weekend's Things That Make You Go Hmmm…) and so it felt as though a conversation with Peter about the effect the twin collapses of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank this week are likely to have on public mood was a better contribution than debating the fast-moving details of what's happening.

LBG Jasan Hileman is the newst guide to join us on Addressing Gettysburg. Also, Joe from Peach Orchard Publishing joins us for the first time as producer/engineer.  When I asked Jasan to do the show I told him what I tell every guide who comes on: you can choose from a list of listener submitted topics or you can name your own. Jasan said he wanted to do a WTF Moments epiosde. Since that title is already overused, I harkened back to the days of hair gel and parachute pants and borrowed a line from the great American philosophers C&C Music Factory for this show's title.  In this episode, we cover many things that leave a lot of us scratching our heads about the Gettysburg Campaign like Mr. Stuart's Wild Ride, Ewell's "inaction" on Cemetery and Culp's Hill and more.

When James Aitken calls and says we need to record another episode of The End Game based on the events of recent weeks, Fleck and I dropped everything and got him on the phone immediately. In this superb conversation, James lays out how and why the turmoil in the UK happened and explains the implications — which extend into the depths of financial market plumbing, an area James knows better than just about anybody. LDIs, Linkers, the box into which the Fed has painted itself and the dreadful predicament facing the BoJ all come under the microscope as James picks apart the plumbing as only he can. Buckle up, folks. Things are about to get really interesting...

The latest guest to grace The End Game series is hedge fund legend, value investor, reformed shortseller and poker wizard, David Einhorn. In a greatly anticipated conversation, Bill and I get the chance to quiz David about his recent comments on the death of value investing, the challenges posed by investing in a bear market and the likelihood that inflation, far from being transitory, is now structural. Throw in a dissection of where central banks find themselves, and a fascinating glimpse into David's experiences at some of the highest stakes poker tables in the world and you have all the ingredients necessary for a classic End Game conversation.

Episode 37 of The End Game sees Bill and Grant welcome back Gerard Minack of Minack Advisors for a discussion on the current market environment, the reality of the inflationary pulse upending markets and the path Gerard believes we take from here. Gerard's one-man mission to convince the world that Central Bankers aren't responsible for the unfolding disaster in financial markets runs headlong into a man with a hammer to whom everything looks like a nail in Fleck but the case Gerard makes is extremely thought-provoking. As Gerard says, investor sentiment is a three-month trailing average of the price action and, with that as a backdrop, we pick apart recent price action and dig into the ocean of data that Gerard parses for his clients in order to try and figure out what comes next...

In the latest episode of The End Game, Bill and Grant welcome author and financial historian non-pareil, Edward Chancellor back to talk about his new book The Price Of Time. During his first appearance on The End Game, Ed teased us with a book he was in the process of wrapping up which would chronicle the history of interest rates and tell the story of the cost of money over the course of history. Now, with the book appearing on multiple bestseller lists, Ed joins us to discuss what he learned as he trawled through the history books in search of a story that really is as old as time itself. From biblical times to the modern day malaise engulfing the world's central banks as they battle the unintended consequences of a decade of artificial interest rates, Ed spins a story that has to be heard and needs to be understood.

The latest episode of The Grant Williams Podcast features the wonderful personality and profound intellect of Sir Steven Wilkinson - a man I've admired for a long time and who, earlier this year, I had the great pleasure of spending a day with as part of the Gold Tier About Time series. The genesis of this particular conversation was, as you'll hear, Steven graciously pointing out to me where I was completely wrong in my thinking about the EU and, in particular, Germany. Having read my last Things That Make You Go Hmmm... and listened to my recent appearance on the excellent Wall Street Silver/Doomberg Spaces to discuss my thoughts on Europe, Steven contacted me to explain where I was off-beam. Needless to say, I thought my dressing down should be a) public and b) form the basis for a conversation that would make sure everybody ended up better-informed (with the possible exception of Steven!)...

In the latest episode of The Narrative Game, Ben and Grant discuss the Narrative Early Warning System (N.E.W.S.) developed by Ben and Rusty Guinn to help not just investors, but everybody understand and sidestep the increasing amount of ‘controlled' news funneled into our social media feeds, news sources and conversations with friends. NEWS is the culmination of a 30 year-long project which Ben has been developing since his earliest academic research and is designed to alert people to the signals and clues that what you may be reading has been delivered to you at a very specific time in a very specific way and through a very specific medium in order to generate a very specific reaction. Arming yourself with the defensive weaponry required to sidestep the ‘nudging state' has never been more important so start fighting back today by listening to Ben.

Episode 35 of The End Game sees Bill and Grant welcome Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research Global Head of Commodities Research, Jeff Currie for a discussion around the current dynamics in the commodities sector and their potential place in The End Game. Jeff's thoughts on the importance of the only two asset classes in the green this year — ‘hydrocarbons and carbohydrates' — are extremely eye-opening and the masterful job he does in explaining the need for positive, pro-energy policy change in an era of overwhelming focus on climate change is both balanced and thought-provoking. The importance of putting a price on carbon is laid out beautifully, as are the problems with current tax policies and the straitjacket into which policymakers have strapped themselves. Lastly, Jeff offers his thoughts on gold and precious metals as the road towards The End Game rises up to meet us...

Episode 34 of The End Game sees the welcome return of Bridgewater Associates co-CIO, Greg Jensen who joins us again to reflect on his enormously prescient first appearance just under a year ago. (That episode is now available in full at https://www.grant-williams.com/podcast/the-end-game-ep-24-greg-jensen ) During that original conversation, Greg called the current inflationary headwinds roiling the worlds of central bankers and consumers alike and explained how what he saw coming would affect policy decisions and consumer behaviour. In another superb hour of insightful thinking, and with just about everything he predicted now upon us, Greg offers his thoughts on where we stand and what might come next. Central bank policy and credibility come under the microscope as does the current environment for liquidity and we dig into Bridgewater's very vocal bet against Europe. This is another tour de force by one of the brightest minds in the global investment community.

In the latest episode of The End Game, Bill Fleckenstein and I have the great privilege of welcoming Judy Shelton to the podcast for a discussion that helps place one of the key missing pieces into the puzzle we've been attempting to assemble – the honest and frank perspective of a central banking insider. After her nomination to the board of the Federal Reserve by President Donald Trump in 2018, Judy's appalling treatment at her Senate confirmation hearings demonstrated the very worst of partisan politics at an incredibly toxic time in America. A letter signed by 100 economists, including seven Nobel laureates, opposing her appointment suggests, to me, at least, that she would have been the perfect person to bring necessary change to an institution whose many failings are becoming more apparent by the day. Judy's openness, insight and willingness to discuss the practicalities and limitations of modern-day central banking in this conversation are a breath of fresh air and worthy of our deepest respect and gratitude.

Joining me on this installment of The Grant Williams Podcast is my friend, David Hay of Evergreen GaveKal in Bellevue, WA. David and I discuss the dilemma facing central banks, the ways in which the return of inflation change the investment landscape, the ongoing tech wreck, the importance (and reliability) of David's preferred measure of breakouts and breakdowns, the painful lessons he learned before discovering that particular measure and energy - a space in which David has been investing for many years As a reminder, Silver Tier subscribers to https://www.grant-williams.com get access to both Things That Make You Go Hmmm… and all editions of The Grant Williams Podcast, including The End Game, The Super Terrific Happy Hour, The Narrative Game, This Week In Doom and Shifts Happen so sign up today!

My guest on this episode of The Grant Williams Podcast is Tian Yang of London-based independent research providers, Variant Perception. Variant Perception's pedigree is best-in-class. Their research uses a framework of proprietary leading economic and liquidity indicators to identify investment opportunities across asset classes. Those indicators are a great blend which cover tactical, cyclical and structural time horizons. In this conversation, Tian and I discuss what those indicators are telling him, how inflation changes the landscape, the signals being sent by term premiums and the sea change that may finally allow those brave enough to take on ‘The Widowmaker' trade to come out on top.

Joining us in the latest installment of our search for The End Game is Michael Kao, formerly of Goldman Sachs, Canyon Partners and Akanthos and now a family office investor and prolific presence on Twitter, where his many epic threads have sparked debate and educated thousands. In this conversation, we discuss multiple threads of The End Game including the changing dynamics in Japan, where Kuroda-san is belatedly realising what Mick & Keith figured out almost 70 years ago: ‘you can't always get what you want.' Elsewhere we cover the changing face of both the oil market and the dollar as Michael highlights brilliantly why it's time to reverse our thinking about which drives price moves in the other, the Russia/Ukraine situation, China's options and so much more...

My guest in the latest episode of the Grant Williams Podcast is the founder of Cornerstone Analytics, Mike Rothman. Mike's experience in the energy sector is unparalleled - something he demonstrates conclusively in this excellent conversation. In his no-nonsense style, Mike picks apart today's energy markets - with a particular focus on oil - and explains where consensus is likely right as well as the places that might cause a few surprises. Swiftly putting to rest the widely-held belief of a seamless transition to green energy any time in our immediate future, Mike explains why that misconception is problematic and the likely ramifications once realization dawns more broadly.
