On this episode of Talking Markets, Eurodollar University’s Jeff Snider talks to Maggie Lake about the “sideways” economy, the broken monetary system, and the political fallout from policies that have impoverished people worldwide. Jeff connects the dots between economic stagnation, political volatility, the rise of digital currencies, and the stock market’s one-note view of what a recession is. (Spoiler alert: the bond market has a much more nuanced view.) If a conversation that sits right in the middle of geopolitics, macro, and digital sounds up your street, then you’ve come to the right place. Recorded February 21, 2025.

MI2 Partners' Julian Brigden hates to say he told you so, but, well, he told everyone so: "The idea that inflation is defeated is a joke." Now, with a hotter than expected CPI report earlier this week, and January's biggest dip in retail sales in almost 2 years, what's going on? Julian joins Maggie Lake to discuss where the market is mispriced, the threat of a great rotation out of US assets and the bold and risky plans the Trump Administration may be considering to bring down the deficit.

Maggie Lake sits down with iconic green chicken Doomberg to er, peck (sorry) at global energy markets and what we can expect from President Trump's adminstration. Doomberg lays out some bold scenarios including a Russian victory in Ukraine, dramatically cheaper oil and a splintered European Union. This conversation is sure to spark debate and we'd love to hear it. Post a comment and let us know how you feel about what he has to say.*Note.

Maggie Lake sits down with Chris Tipper, Chief Economist and Strategist at Ainslie Wealth, for a chart-packed tour through the liquidity, macro, and Bitcoin cycles. With markets acting spooked today by Donald Trump's tariff announcement Friday, it's a good time to assess where we are in these all-important cycles, how tariffs may impact them, and how investors can use them to help allocate their capital.
