  • The Fed Is Cornered By Stagflation After Jobs Collapse | Weekly Roundup

    The Fed Is Cornered By Stagflation After Jobs Collapse | Weekly Roundup
    Sep 5 2025
    This week, we discuss all the growing list of weaker labor market data after August NFP showed just 22K jobs added. We also debate whether the Fed will have room to cut 50bps in September while stagflation rears its head, the potential implications if tariffs are overturned, and whether it’s time to be concerned about liquidity and Fed plumbing. Ultimately, everything leads us to one asset.

  • Why Everyone Keeps Misreading The New Macro Regime | Ben Kizemchuk

    Why Everyone Keeps Misreading The New Macro Regime | Ben Kizemchuk
    Sep 3 2025
    In this episode, Ben Kizemchuk joins the show to discuss his “Four Fs” macro framework – Fiscal Dominance, Financial Repression, Fiat Currency, & Passive Flows – arguing that we’re in a unique historical moment where all four are converging at once. He explains how fiscal spending reshapes growth, why financial repression and passive flows stabilize markets, and how fiat currency enables this entire regime. Ben also shares how these dynamics blur the line between the stock market and the economy, setting the stage for an AI-driven future.

  • The Post-Summer Market Rotation is Here | Weekly Roundup

    The Post-Summer Market Rotation is Here | Weekly Roundup
    Aug 29 2025
    This week, we break down the seasonal market pivot around Labor Day, how systematic strategies dominate price action, and why inflation and economic re-acceleration could make a September rate cut a policy mistake. We also dive into the shift from capital to labor, growing government intervention in markets, parallels between AI CapEx and past gold cycles, the potential rotation from large-caps into small caps, and the state of treasury companies.
