Too Damn Hot

Not only have the heat waves this summer ramped up the temperature, but the hot inflation prints and equity valuations have also brought the heat. Fundamentally, things seem to still hold their figure, but the question remains, have investors become too over-zealous?

Space Whiskey

The months keep getting more eventful and flying by faster. For starters, we are now in the Kevin Warsh era as the chair of the Fed; and as this gets published we are entering into the IPO summer frenzy. Yield volatility continues to persist and this time, it's not because due to private credit. Rather, a strong jobs print and hotter than expected (by others, not us) inflation is now pushing rate expectations higher.

60 Days in and I can't Swim

The Strait of Hormuz has been closed for over 60 days now and end-of-war agreements only seem to stall. However, in the Month of April, markets have soared to new all time highs and have even seen high market cap sectors go on historic win streaks. Is this a really forward thinking reaction, or just a dead cat bounce? On top of that, we're in the middle of a wildly important week with five of the largest US companies reporting earnings, news around OPEC, The Fed, and GDP numbers.

Dire Strait of Hormuz

What a whirldwind of events that has taken place in the last few weeks. Geopolitical tensions surfacing in Iran is certainly causing a shock to global supply chains and energy prices, putting the Federal Reserve (as well as other central banks) ini handcuffs. However, yield volatility in the fixed income markets seem to be hinting at the idea of less visibility moving forward...whatever that's supposed to mean.

A lot's Happened

Sorry for getting this out so late! Had a lot of life events taking place. I promise the next one will be released within 2 days of being recorded! But a lot has happened since our last drink together, namely a GDP print, inflation print, and a rather significant supreme court ruling.

Taco Tuesdays (or Wednesdays) are Back

I guess it really didn't take long for the volatility spike to hit the markets. On the same (or opposite side of) token, it also didn't take long for the volatility to go away. With the current administration moving as fast as they do, it's tough to keep up with all things happening, from Davos, to the Fed, to manufacturing numbers, to executive orders on Credit Cards and Real Estate, staying sober has never been more challenging!

2026 Outlook?

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you're all ready for our 2026 economic outlook. I should warn you, we were drinking during the recording of this (obviously) so we hardly even remember what was said. Regardless, feel free to hold us to our word and point out what we got wrong in a few weeks/months.

Gravy Back or Volatility

What a time to experience some seasonal volatility. As we worry about the froth in our gravy back shots, investors have seemingly been worrying about the froth in megacap valuations thanks to a few signals from earnings and OpenAI's CEO.

What's the Beef?

Hope everyone is having a nice October so far. For a minute there, it was a bit frightening to see some tariff volatility enter the chat; but glad that was short lived. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail moving forward and we can sail off into the year end. In other news, the government shutdown is still going on, agriculture deals are being proposed with Argentina, and the Fed will likely make borrowing cheaper this week.
