Futures Edge Show: Finance Unfiltered with Jim Iuorio and Bob Iaccino

Dave Collum is a professor of organic chemistry at Cornell University. More importantly, he's one of the most astute and interesting commentators on markets and the economy you'll ever come across. Dave joins Jim Iuorio and Bob Iaccino to discuss politics, the markets, and the 2 Black Swans he sees swimming around. He also explains why "trying to inflate away debt is like trying to catch your shadow." 

Our friend Mike Arnold, the Co-founder and Chief Technical Officer at Path Trading Partners, analyses all the critical markets from price action and technical perspective as ONLY Mike Arnold can. He also shows us when the stock market has bottomed historically during periods of yield curve inversion, something neither Jim nor Bob knew about before this interview. Jim and Bob also dig into the robust July non-farm payroll report. 

Jim and Bob are joined by Amelia Bourdeau, Senior Advisor & Head of Client Development at Exante Data & Cameron Dawson, Chief Investment Officer at NewEdge Wealth, to discuss the Fed “pivot,” the Euro, and the ECB’s new Transmission Protection Instrument. We also cover energy policy and whether the bottom is in for U.S. Equities. Oh, and a new drinking game.

In our most Italian podcast yet, Kenny Polcari - Managing Partner Kace Capital Advisors and the Chief Market Strategist at Slate Stone Wealth, join Jim and Bob to talk about food, stocks, inflation, and how to survive a possible recession. Bob and Jim also introduced the meatball ranking system.

Author, trader, mentor, Jack of all trades (pun intended), and all-around lovely person Anne-Marie Baiynd lends her insights to the Futures Edge podcast this week, including showing Bob a much more effective way to enter his trade example for the week. Jim tries, but Anne-Marie won't be mean to our outstanding Fed officials. 

Jim and Bob talk with Jim Bianco of Bianco Research, and he explains our exact situation regarding inflation and why the Fed cannot back off its hawkish stance if the economy doesn’t change dramatically.  Jim also tackles our new “In Plain English” segment, where he breaks down the labor force participation rate. 

A technical look at the first half of the year, which turned out to be the worst for stocks since 1970, and more importantly what levels will matter going forward for the rest of the year. Mike Arnold, Co-founder, and Chief Technical Officer at Path Trading Partners takes us through bigger picture charts showing us what the price action has done and what it may do going forward in several different markets.  

We talk markets with Bill Baruch, president of Blue Line Futures and Blue Line Capital. Bill has over two decades of stock, commodities and wealth management experience and talks about outperformance in these challenging times. Plus, we discuss capitulation and Scott Shellady way too much in this episode.

The famous Cow Guy, Scott Shellady, Host of "The Cow Guy Close" on RFDTV joins Jim and Bob (with a special appearance from Managing Editor Ashlee Pitzl) to discuss inflation, energy policy, and the economic problems of the agricultural community. This episode gets a little fiery so get comfortable.   

Brian Wesbury, Chief Economist at First Trust Advisors L.P. joins Jim and Bob to discuss all things Macro. If you want to know what drove this bout of inflation, why we are here, and what it all means, this is a can't-miss conversation.
