CrossBorder Capital founder Michael Howell built his framework for tracking global liquidity while at Salomon Brothers. His central thesis: the ratio between debt and liquidity predicts financial crises and asset bubbles. Howell explains why the $350 trillion global debt pile requires $70 trillion in annual refinancing, how ZIRP created the "everything bubble," and what happens when the bill comes due.
While the Fear and Greed Index just hit "Extreme Fear" territory, Spectra Markets president Brent Donnelly says we're in more of a rotation than a panic. Brent and I talk about the AI trade—why Meta's earnings marked a shift, whether OpenAI's $500 billion valuation is defensible, and why 65% of respondents would short it. Plus, why Buffett just bet on Google.
Bruce Mehlman unpacks the government shutdown, the recent Democratic sweep, and the AI bubble. Then he pulls out his crystal ball for the 2026 midterms and 2028 presidential predictions.
Everyone is wondering if we're in another tech bubble. There's a mad rush to invest in AI, and tech companies are breaking valuation records, with Nvidia leading the charge. My friend Jared Dillian believes we're back in 1997/98. Hear why on today's episode.
Jacob Shapiro, director of geopolitical research at the Bespoke Group, joins me to discuss the AI arms race, India's potential as a tech superpower, and how drug cartels impact Mexico's relationship with the US.
There's a pattern with Dr. Ed Yardeni's predictions: he's usually right. Today, Dr. Ed explains AI's impact on the labor market, how boomers are propping up consumer spending, and what the Fed should do next. You'll also hear his take on China, rising gold prices, and the Mag 7 by listening now.
MBS Highway founder Barry Habib says mortgage rates could drop below 6%, warns about supply-demand imbalances, and unpacks emerging threats from AI job displacement that could impact homeownership and wealth creation.
Large-cap growth has been on fire for 15 years, but that streak may finally be coming to a close. As Big Tech's summer rally fizzles out, small-cap value stocks are showing signs of life. In this interview, Jared Dillian breaks down the concept of a "style-box rotation," explaining why small-cap value may be poised for a powerful turnaround.
"Anytime Trump says something, it is harmful to my positions." For commodities trader Jared Dillian, the spring tariff meltdown broke the market for good. And we may be due for a second tariff-driven sell-off this fall.
The simultaneous sell-off of stocks, bonds, and US dollar is a big deal. Brent Donnelly from Spectra Markets explains how broken trust has left permanent scars on US trade policy: "Once an action has been taken, you can remove the action, but then there's still going to be some damage."
All trade wars have a currency effect, but what happens when nations drive down their currencies to counter US tariffs? John Mauldin explains why he doesn't believe China is using US treasuries as a weapon—and where the trade war will hurt most.
There's no substitute for experience. That was evident this week in the markets. While most people were confused or frozen, at least one investor (our old friend Jared) was making money after spending the past few months positioning himself for a week like this one. Part of his strategy involves using options, but not for speculation…
Private equity is buying up America—everything from nursing homes to the local plumbing business. Some are calling it a bubble, with the value of global private equity deals reaching $2 trillion in 2024. Brendan Ballou, author of the new book Plunder, says the real trouble with PE comes from weak regulations that incentivize bad decisions.
Modern history is rife with examples of wars that grind on needlessly, only to end with no clear winner. There is a risk this will happen with Ukraine, though President Trump is eager to force a settlement. BCA Research Chief Strategist Marko Papic joins us to unpack what happens next.
Inflation is dropping quickly, but you wouldn't know it from the headlines. Danielle DiMartino Booth explains why, highlighting layoffs and other underreported recession signals. As she's said before, "There is no greater drag on inflation than job loss."
George is back! Over half a million people caught my last interview with George shortly after the US and Russia began settlement discussions about Ukraine. Today he responds to the animated comments that followed, explaining why Russia cannot wage war in Europe, NATO's diminishing relevance, and how the flurry of activity at the White House compares to Roosevelt's first hundred days in office.
Former Wall Street trader Jared Dillian is here to talk deflationary tariffs, troubling signs from the housing market, the rising risk of a recession, and why he's "super bullish on bonds."
In the US, 10% of commercial egg-laying hens have died from the bird flu in the last eight weeks. Egg prices are set to soar another 41% this year. Are we in for another pandemic? Cumberland Advisors co-founder David Kotok discusses the economic domino effects of pandemics across history.
If you feel like the world order is being rearranged, you're right. George Friedman explains the geopolitical machinations behind Ukraine settlement talks and President Trump's plan to "redesign the world."
My friend Jacob Shapiro is back, and he sees ample opportunities for investors who can tune out white-noise media. "For the next five, 10 years, these are the years of plenty." We also cover economic resiliency, US energy security, and the ripple effects of tariffs on US-China relations.
