- What Investors Need to Know About the Impact of Options on the Stock Market with Brent Kochuba
Many investors think that options are just a vehicle that affects the portfolios of sophisticated investors. But their impact on the market goes well beyond that. In this episode, we talk to SpotGamma founder Brent Kochuba about the influence that options have on the stock market, and what that means for everyday investors. We discuss the role of options dealer hedging on flows within the market, why options expirations can often market major market turning points and what options tell us about market volatility.
We hope you enjoy the discussion.

1 hr 9 min - Mike Green on the Dangers of the Rise of Passive Investing
The case for passive investing is a very strong one. With most active managers failing to keep up with the market, the arguments for passive are difficult to refute. But has the rise of passive introduced significant risks to the market? Our guest this week thinks it has. We talk to Simplify Asset Management's Mike Green about the potential dangers of the rise of passive investing and what they mean for investors. We also get his take on comparisons between the current market and the 2000 bear market, inflation and Fed policy, and the future of fundamental investing.
We hope you enjoy the discussion.

1 hr 5 min - Navigating Bull and Bear Markets Using Trend Following
With the market in a significant drawdown, there has been a renewed interest from investors in trend following strategies. Given its ability to limit losses during drawdowns and reduce volatility, that is certainly understandable. But like any investment strategy, it has both its strengths and its weaknesses. In this episode, we cover both of them and take a balanced look at the strategy. We also look at the details of implementing trend following strategies and what we have learned using them in the real world.
We hope you enjoy the discussion.

So we decided to start a new segment of the podcast where we talk to some of the smartest investors we know about their personal investment strategy.

Inflation is probably the number one topic on investors' minds these days. But much of the information out there about it is either wrong or lacks the proper context.

We talk with Orcam Financial's Cullen Roche, Epsilon Theory's Ben Hunt, O'Shaughnessy Asset Management's Ehren Stanhope and 42 Macro's Darius Dale about what causes inflation, its history and what we can learn from it, the Fed's ability to control it, and the types of investments that work best in an inflationary environment.

35 min - Applying Machine Learning to Value Investing with Euclidean’s John Alberg
Value investing has produced some of the greatest investors of all time. Whether it be Benjamin Graham's deep value approach or Warren Buffett's quality at a reasonable price strategy, value has a long track record of success. But what if the great value investors of the future won't be human at all? What if machines can be trained to identify the best value stocks?
In this episode, we talk to John Alberg of Euclidean Technologies about applying machine learning to the process of selecting value stocks. We talk about the different types of machine learning and how these techniques can be utilized to select fundamentally sound stocks, We also discuss using machine learning techniques to avoid value traps, whether intuitive factors are more successful, areas where humans can still perform better than machines and much more.
We hope you enjoy the discussion.

58 min - The Importance of Drawdown Management in Retirement Planning
Many investors think that the best way to maximum their spending rate in retirement is to invest in the asset classes with the highest long-term returns. And that is true to an extent, but managing drawdowns also plays a very important role in maximizing withdrawal rates. In this episode, we take an in depth look at the management of sequence risk in retirement and the different ways to approach it.
We discuss the importance of diversification, different withdrawal strategies and the potential role of alternative asset classes in retirement portfolios. We also look at how low future expected returns for both stocks and bonds impact withdrawal rates.
We hope you enjoy the discussion.
