In today's episode, Alex and I meet in person, in a socially distanced way to discuss the topic of leverage and interest rates. Is leverage good? Should the government deficit spend, or should it run a balanced budget? Should one take a mortgage? And how does Bitcoin fix this (tm)? Join us for a fireside chat that will answer all these questions.Follow us on twitter!@MrEBITDA@ShimonLazarovSubscribe to our podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/36u8fmbrSubscribe on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/4zv6syfcOur YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrg492YbLDRnx5yXVFj_XFASupport Hardcore Finance: https://www.hardcorefinance.com/donateSupport the show

In this musing, Shimon discusses how to pick the "fastest horse in the race" in an environment where the government is expected to spend $3T in stimulus and print money at 15% y/y. Should we choose industries that benefit from the new money, or should we choose industries where less government intervention is expected.Visit us at www.hardcorefinance.com or follow us on twitter @mrebitda, @shimonlazarovSupport the show

This is not a happy day or happy episode. The events yesterday in Washington, DC were despicable, disgusting, dangerous, un-American, and embarrassing. We have hit a low as a nation - but there is room for optimism. Today we are joined again by Dritan Nesho, the most accurate pollster in the U.S. to help us make sense of the unimaginable and tell us the path out of the abyss.  Follow us on twitter!@MrEBITDA@ShimonLazarovSubscribe to our podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/36u8fmbrSubscribe on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/4zv6syfcOur YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrg492YbLDRnx5yXVFj_XFASupport Hardcore Finance: https://www.hardcorefinance.com/donateSupport the show

Today @MrEBITDA and @ShimonLazarov discuss why with the Senate in such tight deadlock the Georgian Elections are critical. Even with a democratic sweep of the two Senate seats, the Georgia senatorial race might not result in a path for the sweeping changes that the Democratic base is looking for. We are joined by our close friend and colleague Dritan Nesho, CEO of HarrisX, who rated as the most accurate U.S. Pollster of the 2020 Presidential Election cycle. Together, we discuss the Senatorial race, its outcomes, and implications on the Biden administration and the economy.#StayStrong and #InvestFollow us on twitter!@MrEBITDA@ShimonLazarovSubscribe to our podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/36u8fmbrSubscribe on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/4zv6syfcOur YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrg492YbLDRnx5yXVFj_XFASupport Hardcore Finance: https://www.hardcorefinance.com/donateSupport the show

2020 broke all typical rules of finance and investment. We've had massive quantitative easing and low interest rates yet no inflation in consumable goods. AirBnB laid off a large portion of the workforce but then filed for an IPO. Bitcoin went head to head with Keynesian economists. COVID stopped the world stopped on a dime and then started up again. A new vaccine was born in under a year. What lessons can we take away from all of this? @Shimonlazarov and @MrEBITDA discuss.
