Podcasts about Volatility

Tammy brings the hard hitting truth: Chaos might feel like momentum, but it's really just motion without meaning. In this fast-paced episode, she dives into the high cost of allowing stress, drama, and avoidant behaviors to run your workplace. Through personal anecdotes (like the story of "Frank"), Tammy explains why unsustainability is the ultimate price of chaos—affecting everything from turnover rates and sick leave to team productivity. This is a crucial lesson on self-regulation, clarity, and building a workplace where order restores energy and trust. 4 Costs of Chaos Chaos is Expensive: Chaos lacks sustainability. Leaders who use fear or high-pressure tactics get short-term results, but overall productivity drops, leading to increased turnover, higher sick leave, and loss of revenue. Unregulated Leaders Create Unregulated Teams: You cannot lead people out of stress while you are drowning in it. An unregulated leader models expected chaotic behavior, causing the team to become dysregulated, driving them to spend time job-searching instead of working. Communication in Chaos Becomes Cannibalistic: Fear-fed communication eats results for breakfast. When defensiveness (a form of fear-filled communication) becomes the norm, team members focus on self-preservation, eating away at collaboration, trust, and transformation. Regulation is Not Rigidity: Order restores energy, focus, and trust in your team. Regulation is about your "count-on-ability"—what your team can rely on from your reactions and responses. It's the opposite of being stuck; it's the foundation for agility. Actionable Tools & Quotes The Problem with Volatility and Vacancy: Both yelling and retreating are equally damaging. Vacancy (silence/shutting down) tells people they can't trust you, while volatility pushes them away. Leaders must find the regulated middle ground. The Key to Performance: "Healthy, actionable steps driving performance is a winning plan every single day." Your Self-Check: Ask your team: "What is your count-on-ability factor?" Look at your sick leave and turnover rates—these are chaos-driven numbers. Final Quote: "Fear-fed communication eats results for breakfast." Call to Action: Don't drive Q4 momentum with chaos. Drive it with curiosity and clarity. I unapologetically ask bold questions and challenge assumptions to help leaders rethink what they thought was true! DM me the word CHAOS on Instagram @TheTammyBond to get a resource that will help you ask the right questions to solve for the chaos and finish the year strong.

“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” - 2 Timothy 1:7When it comes to investing, wisdom means keeping emotions in check. Fear, greed, overconfidence, and regret can all derail sound decisions. Dr. Art Rainer joins us today to share four ways emotions ruin smart investing—and how you can avoid those traps.Dr. Art Rainer is the founder of the Institute for Christian Financial Health and Christian Money Solutions. He is a regular contributor here at Faith & Finance and the author of Money in the Light of Eternity: What the Bible Says about Your Financial Purpose.Don't Let Emotions Derail Your InvestmentsWhen it comes to investing, emotions can be your worst enemy. Allowing emotions to guide your investment decisions will most likely lead you to buy high and sell low. That's the opposite of building a solid retirement fund.So how can investors avoid the emotional traps that derail wise investing? Here are four common ways emotions can ruin sound investment strategies.1. Focusing on the Present Instead of the FutureThe stock market fluctuates daily, sometimes even hourly. Many investors get caught in the drama of short-term swings. But we must remind ourselves that we're not investing for today, we're investing for the future.Keeping your eyes fixed on long-term goals helps put temporary volatility in perspective. The market may dip, but over time, patience and consistency are what build wealth.2. Letting Fear Take ControlFear often shows up during a market downturn. In 2008, as markets plummeted, many investors panicked and withdrew their money. Later, most admitted that the decision was a mistake.In fact, steady contributions during down markets actually allow for the purchase of more shares at lower prices—a benefit to long-term investors. This is a process called “dollar-cost averaging”.  Dollar-cost averaging is an investing strategy where you contribute a fixed amount of money at regular intervals, regardless of market conditions. Over time, this helps reduce the impact of market volatility by buying more shares when prices are low and fewer when prices are high.Fear may feel protective, but it usually leads to missed opportunities.3. Becoming Overconfident in a Rising MarketJust as fear hurts during downturns, overconfidence can be just as dangerous when markets rise. We saw this during the dot-com bubble in 2000 and again in 2020.As stock prices climb, inexperienced investors often rush in, assuming the market is “easy money.” They may chase riskier investments without understanding the dangers, setting themselves up for painful losses when the bubble bursts.4. Dwelling on RegretRegret over past decisions is natural, but it can tempt us to overcorrect. For example, selling too soon because of a bad memory from the last downturn—or holding too long trying to “make up” for past mistakes.Instead of being trapped by regret, let past experiences guide wiser choices without driving reactionary ones.The Bible tells us that saving is wise, but it also cautions against letting fear or greed rule our hearts. Wise investing requires patience, discipline, and trust in God's provision—not reactionary emotions.Get Help From a Certified Christian Financial CounselorFor those struggling with debt, budgeting, or saving for the future, Dr. Rainer recommends connecting with a Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC). These professionals are trained to help individuals and couples align their finances with biblical principles.You can search for a counselor in your area at ChristianFinancialHealth.com.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm trying to help someone who has three credit card debts that have gone to collections. What type of documentation should we request to confirm that the debt collector is legally entitled to collect the debt, especially since different agencies continue to contact us?I'm retired and have recently purchased a property with mold in the crawl space, which is impacting my health. Given my financial situation, would it be wise to borrow money to resolve the mold problem?My husband is about to turn 73, and we've placed all of our IRA funds into an annuity. How do we calculate the required minimum distribution once he reaches 73, and does that amount change each year? We'd like to withdraw only the minimum necessary.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)The Institute for Christian Financial HealthChristian Money SolutionsWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

HEADLINE: Latin American Political Volatility and US Engagement GUEST NAME: Evan Ellis SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Evan Ellis about political instability across Latin America. In Argentina, peso volatility reflects investor doubts about President Milei's survival following election losses and corruption scandals. Despite strong economic fundamentals (poverty reduced to 32%, 3% growth), the US Treasury provided unprecedented support with a $20 billion swap agreement. In Venezuela, Maduro's illegitimate regime lost overwhelmingly to Edmundo Gonzalez in July 2024. The US deployed eight ships and considers limited strikes against the "Cartel de los Soles" leadership. Brazil's Lula might offer Maduro asylum to resolve the crisis while opposing US pressure. Colombia faces chaos under President Petro, whose failed "total peace" policies increased violence. After Petro urged US soldiers to disobey orders, America pulled his diplomatic visa, damaging security cooperation. Mexico's President Sheinbaum enjoys 78% popularity and achieved a 20% homicide reduction. The critical priority remains USMCA renegotiation, preventing Chinese companies from using Mexico as a US market pass-through. 1930 BOLIVAR IN CARACAS

Retirement confidence is under pressure. While younger generations are entering the workforce with optimism, the latest Read on Retirement report reveals troubling gaps between savers, plan sponsors, and retirees. Only 38% of employers believe their employees are on track, and confidence among retirees has dropped to historic lows.In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido speaks with Jamie Magyera, Head of BlackRock's U.S. Wealth Advisory and Retirement Business, about the findings from a decade of retirement data. Together, they explore what's driving the confidence gap and the bold actions needed to close it.Jamie highlights three calls to action for the retirement industry: expand access to professional management, deliver guaranteed income solutions, and broaden portfolios to include private markets. She also underscores the need for education and re-enrollment so savers fully benefit from these innovations. With retirement confidence at a crossroads, this episode offers both a reality check and a roadmap for plan sponsors, policymakers, and individuals alike.Sources: BlackRock's Read on Retirement Survey, September 2025Key insights include:· Why retirement savers' confidence often outpaces employers' assessment, and what this paradox reveals.· How target date funds and auto-enrollment are making retirement saving easier and more effective.· Why guaranteed income solutions are increasingly vital to ensure retirees don't outlive their savings.· The growing importance of private markets in delivering long-term returns and diversification alongside public markets.· Differences across generations and genders in retirement confidence — and how advice and professional management can help bridge gaps.· How market volatility, student debt, and competing financial priorities continue to challenge long-term savers.Timestamps:00:00 Retirement Confidence at a Crossroads01:59 Key Findings and Confidence Gaps in the latest Read on Retirement Report04:40 Calls to Action for Retirement Preparedness08:39 Generational Differences in Retirement Planning10:35 Gender Gaps in Retirement Confidence12:12 Challenges and Future of Retirement Planning16:50 Personal Reflections and Advice18:36 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsCheck out episode 225 on retirement planning where we discuss what new legislation could mean for your retirement account: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4mH8LyNQFsYSV0bxEH1NGU?si=ed429467800b4617Check out this playlist on investing for retirement here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/08Fx1iZaBwLclqpswIbjUq

Key Takeaways: You don't need to predict the future: Success in financial markets comes from adapting to changes and riding the waves they create. Focus on what really drives value: Productivity, scarcity, and volatility matter more than just charts or predictions. Policies aren't everything: Government rules and Fed decisions play a role, but the deeper market forces are more important to understand. See volatility as an advantage: Market ups and downs can make you stronger if you learn to benefit from them instead of fearing them. Follow financial gravity, not forecasts: New investors should base their strategies on core principles, not on trying to guess every market move.

Volatility is a natural part of investing. It's the “price of admission” that we pay in exchange for the opportunity to grow wealth over time. But when markets start swinging wildly, especially to the downside, it's easy to let emotion take the wheel.

Markets may be climbing a wall of worry, but investors continue to swing past bad news — chasing dips, ignoring danger, and riding momentum through uncertainty. In this week's Midweek Market Update, the “Spider-Man Market” takes center stage as Andrew Wilkinson, Steve Sosnick, and Steve Sears unpack why every headline seems bullish and how retail traders are reshaping the landscape.

In this episode of the RiskReversal Podcast, Guy Adami and Liz Thomas of SoFi discuss recent sports highlights, including the Milwaukee Brewers' and Green Bay Packers' performances.

The conversation also touches on key data metrics like jolts and PMI, along with the implications of AI on the market. Additionally, they explore international markets, specifically China's tech sector, and the rising gold market. They conclude with observations on market volatility and possible end-of-year trends. —FOLLOW USYouTube: @RiskReversalMediaInstagram: @riskreversalmediaTwitter: @RiskReversalLinkedIn: RiskReversal Media

Kevin Green expects a "cautiously optimistic" finish to the year for the market, despite potential pain points on the horizon, including a government shutdown and earnings season. KG notes that a short shutdown would likely be shrugged off by the market, but a longer one could have broader economic implications. He also points to the strength in technology stocks, particularly in the A.I. and semiconductor spaces, with Nvidia (NVDA) and Broadcom (AVGO) getting price target hikes from analysts. KG's S&P 500 (SPX) targets are 6685 to the upside and 6600 to the downside, warning of potential volatility around the quarter's end.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Rebate rates vary monthly from $0.06-$0.18 and depend on the particular security, whether the trade was placed via API, as well as your current and prior month's options trading volume.

Greece's shipping center remains active. In this Athens edition of Inside the Markets from GMS Podcasts, host Jamie speaks with Vagelis Chatzigiannis, Head of GMS Greece Office, about freight earnings and ship recycling. Freight markets gained 3.6% this week, even as the Baltic Dry Index showed panamax and supramax segments down about 2%-3%. Capesize vessels rose about 1% and tanker freight rates improved, especially on the crude side. These conditions are delaying recycling as owners extend trading for older ships. Key Discussion Points Freight versus recycling: why strong earnings are keeping vessels over 30 years in service India: active market with steel price swings and an INR near USD 88.66 Bangladesh: small LDT vessels, HKC paperwork, limited rolling mill demand and elections in 2026 Pakistan: highest plate prices near USD 619 per ton but slow HKC approvals and no new arrivals Turkey: weaker Lira at 41.41 per USD, lower import steel prices, EU yard slots extending to 2026 From Athens to the Indian subcontinent and Turkey, the signal is clear. Owners continue to earn from trading while recycling remains on hold until freight weakens.

Thierry Wizman breaks down Powell's comments yesterday and discusses the broader economy. He talks about the impact of a weakening dollar on the U.S., and how other countries, including the BRICS coalition, are hoping to keep weakening it as they buy gold. He doesn't think the market has priced in enough volatility and sees opportunities for “sophisticated” investors within that sphere.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In general, the value of a fixed-income security falls when interest rates rise and rises when interest rates fall. Longer term bonds are more sensitive to interest rate changes and subject to greater volatility than those with shorter maturities. High yield and unrated debt securities are at a greater risk of default than investment grade bonds and may be less liquid, which may increase volatility. Private debt investments are generally considered illiquid and not quoted on any exchange; thus they are difficult to value. The process of valuing investments for which reliable market quotations are not available is based on inherent uncertainties and may not be accurate. Further, the level of discretion used by an investment manager to value private debt securities could lead to conflicts of interest.This material is distributed for informational or educational purposes only and should not be considered a recommendation of any particular security, strategy, or investment product, or as investing advice of any kind.

Nvidia (NVDA) is making a 12-digit investment into OpenAI. The market leader will use $100 billion to help OpenAI build at least 10 gigawatts worth of data centers for the ChatGPT parent company with deployments starting next year. Marley Kayden notes that the massive investment shows confidence in the A.I. story but adds it will take a long time for the data center buildout to shape up. Volatility against the A.I. narrative can create speed bumps on the road to those deployments.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Markets sold off, then rallied back to even after the Fed announced its first rate move in nine months. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are showing early signs of rounded tops, but both are likely to set fresh all-time highs today. Volatility continues to compress, hitting new lows — but that calm may not last. Tomorrow brings one of the largest options expirations ever, setting the stage for heightened volatility as quarter-end re-balancing also comes into play. The dollar rallied on the Fed's cut, while the Magnificent 7 saw mixed performance, with some under-performing as money rotated into defensive names. Today could bring the opposite rotation, back into offensive growth stocks. Bottom line: risk management is key. Taking profits where possible makes sense in this environment, with no need for major portfolio shifts until the next wave of volatility hits.

Today we look through the divergences that continue to characterize the action across US equities, with some of the most speculative areas - especially Tesla - on fire on Friday even as the median stock had a rather weak day. As volatility continues to crush lower, this could mean we are headed for a volatility breakout, but in what direction? Also, a look at geopolitical developments, including in rare earths, some must reads and much more. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.
