Podcasts about Volatility

This week: Volatility in the Japanese bond market is threatening the global trade house of cards.

Then, they discuss the weakening US dollar and what Trump's fed chair nominee says about his administration. And finally, corporate messaging around social issues has all but gone away, but the recent horrors in Minnesota have somewhat turned that tide.

Katy Kaminski joins us to assess the early signals shaping markets in 2026. The conversation explores the resurgence of commodity trends, the role of volatility estimation, and why diversification across markets and speeds matters more than ever. Drawing on new research, they examine dispersion within the CTA universe, the limits of replication, and how volatility targeting quietly determines outcomes. From precious metals to currencies, from crisis alpha to geopolitical risk, this episode offers a grounded look at why trend following thrives during disruption and why regime change remains its natural habitat.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Katy on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps:00:00 - Introduction to the Systematic Investor Series00:39 - Weather disruptions and market perspective02:31 - Precious metals and extreme commodity moves04:28 - Gold, central banks, and monetary regime shifts07:43 - Replication versus full CTA diversification09:47 - Liquidity differences across metals12:03 - Metals leading trend performance in 202615:01 - Multi-sector trends and diversification benefits20:13 - Media attention and the return of trend following23:29 - Research insights on speed and dispersion31:44 - Trend speed and timing tradeoffs40:59 - Market concentration and narrow universes43:19 - Volatility estimation as a hidden...

Equal-weighted index funds sound like an elegant solution to some of today's biggest investor anxieties: high market concentration, elevated valuations, and outsized influence from a handful of mega-cap stocks. In this episode of the Rational Reminder Podcast, Ben Felix, Dan Bortolotti, and Ben Wilson take a deep, evidence-based look at whether equal weighting actually improves portfolios—or simply introduces new risks under a different name. The discussion breaks down how equal-weighted indices differ fundamentally from traditional market-cap-weighted indexes, why equal weighting has historically outperformed in certain periods, and what's really driving those results beneath the surface. The team explains how equal weighting tilts portfolios toward smaller, cheaper, and more volatile stocks, while also systematically trading against momentum due to frequent rebalancing. Key Points From This Episode:   (0:01:10) Introduction to Episode 394 and discussion about declining enthusiasm over long podcast runs. (0:02:00) PWL Capital's growing work with institutional clients and why index-based approaches are rare in that space. (0:05:12) Episode topic introduced: equal-weighted index funds and why listeners keep asking about them. (0:06:00) Definition of market-cap-weighted vs. equal-weighted indexes using the S&P 500 as the main example. (0:07:14) Historical outperformance of equal-weighted S&P 500 indexes and why start dates matter. (0:09:00) Equal weight vs. cap weight performance over the last decade: meaningful recent underperformance. (0:10:21) Market concentration concerns and why equal weighting appears attractive during periods of high valuations. (0:12:00) Why market-cap-weighted indexes do not mechanically buy more overvalued stocks as prices rise. (0:16:14) Trading costs explained: explicit vs. implicit costs and why turnover matters more than TER. (0:19:16) Capital gains, tax efficiency, and reporting differences between Canadian and U.S. funds. (0:21:07) Market concentration historically shows little relationship with future returns. (0:24:58) Volatility comparison: equal-weighted indexes are meaningfully more volatile due to small-cap exposure. (0:25:12) Equal weighting increases exposure to small-cap, value, and high-volatility stocks. (0:28:58) Sector distortions created by equal weighting and why this represents uncompensated risk. (0:31:21) Unintended consequences: sector bets, security-level overweights, and forced rebalancing. (0:32:30) Turnover is roughly 10× higher in equal-weighted funds than cap-weighted equivalents. (0:33:15) Equal weighting behaves as a systematic anti-momentum strategy. (0:34:02) Multi-factor regression results: positive size and value exposure, negative momentum loading. (0:36:33) Rebalancing frequency trade-offs and how quarterly rebalancing amplifies momentum drag. (0:42:21) Comparison with alternative approaches that target similar factor exposures more efficiently. (0:44:47) Why backtests are seductive—and why live fund results matter more. (0:47:40) Investor behavior, uncertainty, and the constant search for strategies that "fix" the market. (0:48:41) Factor investing in disguise: most deviations from cap-weighting are just factor tilts. (0:53:06) Equal weighting as an acceptable strategy—if investors understand and accept the trade-offs. (0:57:18) Listener feedback, enthusiasm jokes, and discussion about Spotify video uploads and audio speed.

Episode 353: Resilience Isn't Optional: Tools Every Nonprofit Leader Needs Now (Russell Harvey)SUMMARYNonprofit leaders are operating in a world where change is constant - and the pressure to react quickly can undermine clarity, trust, and team stability. In this episode, Russell Harvey explains why resilience is a leadership capability (not a personality trait) and how leaders can strengthen it without adding more overwhelm. Russell introduces the VUCA framework (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) alongside the leadership responses that help teams navigate it (Vision, Understanding, Clarity, Agility). He also shares his Resilience Wheel - seven connected elements leaders can develop personally and organizationally, including purpose, adaptability, support networks, meaning, and energy. Throughout, Russell emphasizes reflective practice as a practical discipline: pausing regularly to identify what's working, what isn't, and what to do next - so leaders and teams can “spring forward with learning” rather than simply trying to bounce back.ABOUT RUSSELLRussell Harvey is a leadership coach and facilitator based in Leeds, England, and the founder of The Resilience Coach. He works with senior leaders, teams, and organizations across sectors - including the nonprofit and third sector - helping them lead themselves and others well in a “full-on” world shaped by constant change. Russell's approach blends practical frameworks (VUCA and the Resilience Wheel) with core leadership behaviors: delegating to strengths, removing blockages that prevent performance, building resilient teams, and committing to lifelong personal growth.RESOURCES & LINKSThe Resilience CoachResilience Wheel (Russell's framework + related posts)Russell Harvey on LinkedInBook recommendation: Humankind by Rutger BregmanFollow Your Path to Nonprofit LeadershipLearn more about the PMA & Armstrong McGuire merger

Send us a textIn this episode, we're joined by Alicia Levine, Head of Investment Strategy at BNY Wealth, for a wide-ranging conversation on what's driving markets right now — and what investors should actually do about it. We start by breaking down the real difference between wealth management vs. asset management, then zoom out to the biggest macro theme of the moment: policy volatility across the U.S., Japan, and beyond. Alicia explains why inflation is structurally higher post-COVID, how shifts in Japan's rates can ripple through global bonds and FX, and why markets react to the rate of change in policy rather than the headlines themselves. We also dig into why gold is surging (and whether or not you can actually monetize “Grandma's silver”), what's happening in healthcare stocks, and why equities can still be a strong inflation hedge when growth holds up. Finally, Alicia shares a powerful reminder on long-term investing you won't want to miss, plus practical career and money advice for younger listeners (including the “anti-DoorDash trade”).Shop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

Joe Cavatoni with the World Gold Council talks about the yellow metal itself and ways investors can navigate it in 2026. After gold's explosive 2025 uptrend into the start of the new year, Joe urges investors to look ahead to economic factors in the U.S. and abroad to determine how much exposure they want to gold. He projects more upside with near to mid-term volatility. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Raheem Madjavi from Knightsbridge FX joins Glen Sutherland to unpack what's driving the Canadian dollar vs. U.S. dollar and what Canadians should watch in 2026. They discuss key macro factors that move currency markets—interest rate differentials, jobs/GDP, oil and commodities, and trade-policy uncertainty—plus why the USD/CAD rate can stay volatile when policy shifts and headlines change fast. Raheem shares practical scenarios for how the loonie could strengthen modestly if U.S. rates come down, and why Canada's outlook also depends on broader economic resilience and trade outcomes. They also get tactical for Canadians investing in U.S. real estate: why bank FX spreads and wire mistakes can quietly cost hundreds (or thousands), and how to avoid getting “hosed” on exchange rates when moving large sums. Raheem explains how Knightsbridge works and walks through the common ways to move money cross-border—bill payment (CAD only), wire transfers (fast, often same/next day), and debit/credit between accounts (slower but convenient)—including when each method makes sense. The big takeaway: don't obsess over perfectly timing the currency market; focus on the underlying investment, reduce friction and fees, and execute a clean transfer strategy when you're ready.

Equities up, volatility up is the name of the trading day according to Kevin Green. He explains why he's cautious on the move higher and how Big Tech needs to continue a winning streak to cement confidence in the rally.

Angelo Zino sees Meta Platforms (META) moving the most off this week's round of Mag 7 earnings. He sees the stock on the cheaper side as it trades under 20-times earnings, though Shay Boloor warns the company needs to do more to diversify AI prospects. Though the company doesn't report this week, Shay's Mag 7 earnings pick is Amazon (AMZN) as he sees tremendous upside with AWS.

Michael Reinking breaks down a volatile week marked by tariff headlines, rising global yields, and a sharp tech‑led selloff that quickly reversed. Early weakness gave way to a rebound as shifting rhetoric on Greenland and tariffs helped small and mid caps hit new highs. Macro uncertainty persisted with delayed Supreme Court action, ongoing Fed Chair speculation, and surging natural gas prices. Earnings season remained mixed as margin concerns surfaced while crypto news took center stage with BitGo's NYSE debut. With earnings, the FOMC decision, and geopolitical risks ahead, markets enter next week with a packed agenda.

Geopolitical drama is back on the menu, and the futures options markets are feeling the heat. In this episode of This Week in Futures Options (TWIFO), Mark Longo breaks down a wild week where nearly every complex saw a volatility explosion. From potential trade wars to "Greenland drama," we explore how the tape is reacting at CME Group. On today's episode, we dive into: The Movers & Shakers Report The Volatility Spike: A look at the CVOL (CME Volatility Index) across the board. Why Treasury vol is roaring back to life (up 10 points) and Energy is pining the needle at 69.35. Natural Gas Mania: Nat Gas jumps a staggering 57% as the polar vortex hits. Metals & FX: Precious metals explode in both price and vol, while FX vol gains a full point on trade war chatter. The Dark Side: Bitcoin slides over 8%, leading the losers alongside Palladium and Copper. Equities: The Big Tech Rotation Nasdaq vs. Small Caps: We analyze the pronounced rotation out of large-cap tech and into small caps. Zero-DTE Action: A deep dive into the massive paper hitting the Nasdaq-100 (NQ), where 0-DTE contracts dominated 43% of the weekly flow.

Kieran Osborne covers what we learned from this week's tariff-induced volatility. He thinks the volatility could continue and urges investors to focus on the long term. He thinks it could be time to take some winners off the table to reap gains and then diversify. Direct lending and private real estate, along with international markets, are top of mind. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.This video is all about one thing that decides whether trades work or fail: alignment between the market, the sector, and the stock. If those three are not pointing in the same direction, trading gets harder, drawdowns get deeper, and frustration ramps up fast. When they are aligned, trading feels cleaner, calmer, and far more consistent.A major point hammered home is how little control an individual stock actually has on its own. Roughly speaking, the market drives the biggest portion of price movement. The sector comes next. The stock itself is last. That means you can find what looks like a perfect setup, but if the market is weak or the sector is getting crushed, the odds are stacked against you before you even click buy.This is why cash is treated as a real position, not a failure. When the market is on a sell signal, the goal is not to be clever. The goal is to protect capital. Forcing trades in bad conditions is how accounts slowly bleed. Sitting in cash keeps risk low and leaves room to press when conditions improve.A lot of time is spent on options risk management, specifically rolling for credit. Rolling is not about trading more or being active for the sake of it. It is about reducing risk. Every roll for credit offsets the original cost of the trade, removes exposure, and locks in progress. Even if the trade completely collapses later, the damage is dramatically smaller than if nothing had been managed along the way.Another important concept is how winning streaks can actually be dangerous. After a run of good trades, many traders start sizing up, bending rules, or assuming the next trade will behave like the last one. That is usually when losses hit hardest. Each trade is independent. The market does not care what happened yesterday. Discipline matters most when confidence is high.Volatility and structure also matter, especially with options. Leveraged ETFs, wide bid ask spreads, low open interest, and volatility drag can all distort pricing. If you do not understand how these forces work, options can move against you even when the stock looks fine on the surface.Here are the key ideas covered in detail:✅ Market direction matters more than any single stock setup✅ Sector strength can amplify gains or completely cap them✅ Stock setups only work best when market and sector agree✅ Cash is a strategic position when conditions are poor✅ Rolling options for credit removes risk instead of chasing upside✅ Partial profits protect accounts during pullbacks✅ Winning streaks increase risk if discipline slips✅ Volatility drag impacts leveraged ETFs over time✅ Liquidity and spreads directly affect option performanceThe OVTLYR framework is used throughout to keep decisions objective. Signals are not predictions. They are filters. If alignment is missing, the answer is simple: do nothing. If alignment is present, risk can be taken with intention instead of hope.This approach strips trading down to its core. Protect capital first. Trade when conditions are favorable. Manage risk aggressively. Let winners run without getting emotional. The goal is not excitement. The goal is survival and consistency over time.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd. Start trading smarter today

Crypto News: Bitcoin and stocks move up as Trump says he reached Greenland deal ‘framework' with NATO, backs off Europe tariffs. President Trump says he hopes to sign crypto bill soon. Brought to you by

In this episode of Crypto Town Hall, hosts and guests vent frustration over the crypto market's prolonged stagnation, low volatility, extreme fear sentiment, shrinking altcoins, and repetitive headlines dominated by Trump, political gridlock, and regulatory uncertainty. They dissect the stalled Clarity Act and related bills, criticizing banking-lobby influence, ethics clause deadlocks, yield restrictions on stablecoins, and clauses that hinder tokenization and innovation. The conversation critiques elite control, Europe's regulatory self-sabotage, and the need for crypto to prioritize simple, user-friendly retail adoption over institutional capture or tribal infighting.

Markets are continuing to digest the recent break below the rising trendline, which has now turned into overhead resistance. Wednesday's rally attempt stalled precisely at that level before selling pressure resumed. Momentum remains on a sell signal, suggesting near-term upside could stay limited, and a bit more volatility would not be surprising over the next several sessions. Importantly, buyers are still present, waiting for better entry points. This is why reacting emotionally to a single down day can be costly. Let price action confirm whether there is real follow-through or simply short-term noise. Stop placement also matters here—algorithmic trading thrives on predictable behavior. From a technical perspective, the 50-day moving average remains active support. Markets are still technically oversold enough to allow for another rally attempt, but a MACD buy signal must first replace the current sell signal. Resistance near 7,000 remains a key hurdle. If markets can decisively clear that level, the next upside target becomes 7,100. Looking ahead, several potential catalysts loom. The heart of earnings season arrives over the next two weeks, followed by the resumption of stock buybacks and insider activity. For now, patience is critical. Let markets reveal where buyers are stepping in and how algorithms are positioning. Conditions remain orderly, trading remains constructive, and there is no need for aggressive portfolio changes based on one day's action.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Markets are freaking out, headlines are loud, and price is swinging all over the place. One day the market is down hard, the next day it rips higher. That's exactly why this video matters. Instead of panicking, guessing, or reacting emotionally, this is a real look at how a professional investor stays calm, sticks to the plan, and trades through chaos with confidence.In this session, you're watching real trades being managed in real time during extreme volatility. Nothing is cleaned up, nothing is hidden, and nothing is sugarcoated. You'll see how positions are marked to market, how rolling trades actually works in practice, and why not every red candle is a reason to bail. This is what disciplined trading looks like when the market is trying to shake everyone out.One of the biggest takeaways is how much damage panic selling does to most traders. The conversation keeps coming back to the same core idea over and over. You only get paid if price goes up. Everything else is noise. Fundamentals, opinions, headlines, and hot takes do not matter if the trend is working against you. Price always gets the final vote.There's also a deep dive into risk management and position sizing. Volatility matters. ATR matters. You'll see exactly why volatile stocks require smaller size, how risk is reduced without exiting trades prematurely, and how rolling positions can take pressure off when price moves against you. This is the kind of stuff most people never learn because they are too busy chasing the next prediction.To make things easy to follow, here are some of the key ideas covered in the video:✅ Why panic selling usually locks in losses instead of protecting you✅ How trend signals actually work when markets get wild✅ Why volatility and ATR should control position size✅ How rolling trades can reduce risk instead of adding it✅ Why buying dips can destroy accounts in downtrendsThe video also gets into some classic Wall Street disasters and viral finance moments. Hedge funds blowing up. Media appearances gone wrong. Traders getting wiped out by leverage, ego, or ignoring simple rules. These stories are not just entertainment. Each one connects back to a lesson about discipline, humility, and respecting risk. The market does not care who you are or how smart you think you are.Transparency is a big theme throughout. Trades are shown live. The portfolio manager is open. The numbers are real. The goal is not hype or flashy promises. The goal is showing what it actually looks like to follow a rules based system day after day, especially when emotions are running high.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by market noise, tempted to sell at the worst possible moment, or confused by conflicting opinions online, this video brings everything back to basics.

The guys reinforce why long-term investors should view red weeks as opportunity—not danger—and why history consistently rewards patience over prediction.The conversation then expands into geopolitics and policy, including tariffs, U.S.–EU trade tensions, Greenland, and how political posturing creates short-term uncertainty but rarely alters long-term market trajectories. Matty and Ryan explain why the U.S. market remains the best long-term wealth engine despite constant headline noise.They also dive into asset allocation, dollar-cost averaging, diversification, and why trying to time market bottoms is a losing game. The episode wraps with updates on precious metals, crypto market pullbacks, regulatory clarity, housing trends, rising foreclosure data, and why discipline—not speculation—is the real edge for investors in 2026.This episode is a reminder that markets reward simplicity, consistency, and conviction—not panic.Topics Covered:Bearish sentiment across stocks, crypto, and bondsWhy pullbacks are normal and necessaryLong-term investing vs. short-term speculationDollar-cost averaging and deploying dry powderDiversification and portfolio disciplineU.S.–EU tariff tensions and geopolitical noiseGreenland, trade leverage, and market reactionsPrecious metals hitting generational highsCrypto pullbacks and future regulatory claritySingle-family housing, institutional buyers, and foreclosuresWhy time in the market beats timing the marketEpisode Sponsored By:Discover Financial Millionaire Mindcast Shop: Buy the Rich Life Planner and Get the Wealth-Building Bundle for FREE!

From investment banker to crypto fund strategist, Stas Sukhinin shares insider perspectives on how credit committees really make decisions, why over-leveraged companies fail fast during downturns, and where stablecoins are creating trillion-dollar transaction opportunities. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer sits down with Stas Sukhinin, a finance veteran with over 19 years of experience spanning investment banking, corporate lending, and alternative asset management. Stas began his career at internationally recognized institutions including UniCredit and Societe General, where he helped pioneer mezzanine loan products in Eastern Europe. By age 29, he had become a senior partner at one of the region's largest mezzanine lenders, managing a team of 20 finance professionals and overseeing a $450 million loan portfolio. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover what really happens inside credit committees when your loan application gets reviewed and why factors unrelated to your business can determine outcomes. Stas explains how strong companies can go from healthy to restructuring in just three to four months when leverage catches up with them, and the critical difference between how first-time owners and experienced operators approach debt decisions. You'll learn the two key factors that determine how much debt your business can handle, why working capital provisions in purchase agreements deserve more attention than most buyers give them, and how sellers legally present financials in the most favorable light. The conversation also covers Stas's experience investing in the 2017 ICO boom where 90% of projects went to zero but winners returned 50x to 100x, why venture capital investors sometimes block deals that would be life-changing for founders, and where stablecoin transaction volume is already reaching trillions while most people remain unaware. STAS'S JOURNEY: Stas's path into finance started at age 14 when a classmate brought a business magazine to school. Reading about business owners selling companies for millions crystallized his direction. He knew he wanted to be in corporate lending where he could see businesses, analyze financials, and speak directly with owners while working with numbers at a bank. His first role as a junior credit analyst gave him exactly that. He progressed from working with small businesses that had no financials to mid-sized companies to large corporations. Each step taught him more about how deals really get done from inside the institutions making funding decisions. CREDIT COMMITTEE INSIGHTS: Stas pulls back the curtain on what actually happens when loan applications reach credit committees. The reality differs dramatically from what most business owners imagine. Factors affecting approval can seem completely unrelated to the specific deal. Maybe the bank already has a competitor in their portfolio. Maybe the receivable financing department has a different relationship with someone in your industry. One offhand comment from a committee member who hasn't read the full memo can change the entire trajectory of a conversation or result in higher interest rates. DEBT MANAGEMENT LESSONS: The pattern Stas has seen destroy companies in months follows predictable steps. Revenue drops or stagnates. Margins deteriorate because of increased competition and client uncertainty. Debt ratios that looked comfortable suddenly reach concerning levels. Refinancing options disappear just when needed most. Interest rates climb. Everything compounds simultaneously. The difference between experienced and first-time business owners comes down to scenario planning. Experienced operators build safety margins and stress-test assumptions. First-time owners assume conditions will continue as they are. That assumption determines survival. ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS: Stas joined a crypto investment fund at its inception in 2017 during the ICO boom. Out of many investments, approximately 90% went to zero. The winners returned 50x or 100x. His observation about liquidity cycles was particularly interesting. Traditional venture now averages seven-year holding periods while crypto projects can reach liquidity events in three or four years through token distributions. On stablecoins, Stas sees enormous opportunity in programmable money. Transaction volume is already in the trillions though most people in developed countries don't realize the scale. Goldman Sachs reportedly reduced bond settlement time from three days to minutes using blockchain technology. Perfect for business owners considering debt financing, entrepreneurs navigating capital raising, and anyone interested in how credit decisions really get made and where alternative investments are creating new opportunities.

Markets are breaking down from a rising wedge pattern, triggering a short-term momentum sell signal. Downside targets include the 50-DMA near 6,810 and the 100-DMA around 6,720—both important support levels to monitor. A 2–5% pullback is not unusual and is part of the normal investing process. While selling pressure may continue for a few sessions as sellers move lower to meet buyers, this does not signal the start of a major market downturn. Tariff headlines may create short-term noise, but they do not materially alter forward earnings expectations for major U.S. companies or the broader economic outlook. This is why disciplined risk management—rebalancing, taking profits, and avoiding knee-jerk reactions—matters most during periods of volatility. Let the market work through the move, then reassess positioning once price action provides confirmation.
