DRUNKENOMICS

Welcoming back from Turkey week. Speaking of Turkey, their revolving door of Central Bank Chairmans (among other things) have caused their currency to rapidly decline in value. Not to worry though, because the Fed Chair in the states also retired the word 'transitory.' So...lol to everyone that wished me a Happy Thanksgiving.

Yep, there it is; it finally happened. JB (aka President Joe Biden) has appointed a new Vice Chair of the Federal Reserve and that person just so happens to go by Lael Brainard. She has even began her tenure by stating that her primary objective is to address inflation concerns. But what types of inflation are there? This is perhaps a sticky or slippery subject.

Happy Thanksgiving & stay drunkenomical y'all!

Herein lies a toast to what most investors consider to be the boringest financial instrument out there: Bonds. During these drams of whiskey, we discuss why bonds are issued, terms coupon vs. yield, maturity, and what the par is; not to be confused with shooting a 72 on the golf course...

So October employment/inflation numbers are out and we're here to drink to it; more so drink to how the Fed can use certain tools (not to be confused with the band, Tool) to control it. So get yourself a bottle of tariff-free whiskey and have a drink with us over Monetary Policy.

The only transitory thing I see is the name "Facebook." Since they're transitioning to Meta, the Fed looks like they're also transitioning to a new stance that believes inflation could be longer than transitory.

For almost everything, there's a right way and a wrong way to do it; then theres most certainly a stupid way. So is there a way to possibly protect yourself from the wrong & stupid ways?

Time to talk about the market's favorite benchmark of volatility: the VIX of the Volatility Index. Trust me, it kind of makes sense if you think about it; but it makes even more sense if you don't think about it at all. Either way, what other Option do you have this week?

Two Fed chairmans are being pressured to step down due to some COI concerns; which will create the tiniest dent in the coming jobs reports I guess. Thankfully, we avoided a shutdown as Congress has agreed to kick the can down the road and re-face the issue in December. Not sure how the two are related without a drink dram of whiskey in hand.

It's been nearly one whole month of extraordinary measures to avoid US Government default; and it has only brought us to a pivotal moment. Will the poorly-casted cast & crew in Congress come up with an agreement before the deadline, or will the government shut down? What are the chances the US government actually defaults??

So Chinese real-estate giant, Evergrande, really isn't feeling too grand anymore as they're facing some serious debt and liquidity issues. To pour a little salt in the wound, the Chinese government said they're not too big to fail. More details in the episode as the Vix is back up above 25.
