Neel Kashkari is full of s*** Jun 30, 2021

Show notes

Last week, the Fed announced the results of its annual stress test… and all the major U.S. banks passed. Now, banks are raising dividends and buybacks—all good news for the economy. But a few days later, Neel Kashkari, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, shared an op-ed slamming bank bailouts. Here's why he's full of s***. [00:35] Then, Genia Turanova, editor of Curzio's MoneyFlow Trader and Unlimited Income, shares her thoughts on whether inflation will be transitory... and the risks it creates over the long term. With all the uncertainty in today's markets, Genia lays out the importance of hedging your portfolio… and how her MoneyFlow Trader strategy can limit your losses. Genia also offers a valuable lesson on why you should be skeptical of high-dividend-paying companies... and what income investors should look for instead. [25:39] Plus, how retail investors are driving "meme" stocks higher… And who will benefit the most from rising capital expenditures.

One on one with SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce Jun 23, 2021

Show notes

You might be familiar with Hester Peirce, commissioner of the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC). Appointed by then-President Donald Trump to the SEC on January 11, 2018… Hester has become known as the "crypto mom." Today, Hester joins the show for an in-depth discussion on crypto regulation. She shares what to expect from the SEC in the future… why too much crypto regulation could be a bad thing… and the problems that could result from too little regulation. [21:45] Speaking of regulation… Daniel and I debate whether regulators should look into stablecoins and "meme" coins like dogecoin. We also explain a particular stablecoin's recent plunge to zero… and Daniel lays out why goldbugs and bitcoin bulls hate each other. [46:03] Enjoyed this episode?
