Introduction

Risks are rising on a variety of fronts across the world. And market players are positioning themselves to profit before they are realized. In this episode of Breaking News, we take a tour of some of the major issues we face in the current challenging environment. We discuss the peculiar announcement by Ireland, Norway, and Spain recognizing the Palestinian state, the potential for total war in the Middle East, Rick Rieder's suggestion for interest rate cuts and the return of Roaring Kitty and the GameStop saga. We also cover President Biden's questionable housing proposal, and the lessons we can learn from Conan O'Brien's appearance on the YouTube show Hot Ones.
