Are better times ahead or will we have a fall of pain? That’s the key question we’re going to address today. We are back to our regular schedule here at green marbles.

And today, G3 is joined by Jordi Visser, the president and CIO of Weiss, who is looking forward to getting back into the swing of things. So please, check important disclosure at the end of the episode and get ready to hear Jordi’s take on the markets, the economy, and sentiment.

And if your sentiment is so inclined, you can engage in a random act of bullishness and rate our show. We’d appreciate it.

As we close out summer and head into Labor Day weekend, we decided to re-air one of our most listened to episodes thus far, which features our resident expert on all things fixed income and the Federal Reserve, Lundy Wright. Given the nature of the topics for this episode, we believe this episode remains highly relevant in the current market regime.

Thank you to our loyal listeners. We will be back next week with a new episode.

Some folks may have heard this week’s episode (43 - Sino-US Relations—It’s Complicated) prematurely released as episode 42 (Chinese Policy & Politics (See Resources)); 42 and 43 are companion episodes so if you’ve heard one, please take this opportunity to listen to the other and we do apologize for any confusion.

In this episode, G3 continues the discussion with Mike Edwards on China policy, here focusing on Sino-US relations and how the US is perceived by China's policymakers. In short, it's complicated. However, Mike draws upon his experiences and interactions in and with China to delineate the competing schools of thought when it comes to dealing with the West. As part of the discussion, Mike also covers America’s doctrine of strategic ambiguity and current tensions over Taiwan, the Russia-Ukraine situation, and the tightrope that Chinese policymakers are walking leading into the 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party.

Today, G3 is going to present the second episode of our summer primer series. In this series, we step away from the latest trends in the market and instead focus on topics that we believe can serve as useful building blocks for overall market understanding. Here, G3 talks to Mike Edwards, Weiss's deputy CIO, about how the Chinese government is organized and how things operate in practice. Mike does a great job of demystifying several longstanding questions G3 has had, and we hope you get as much out of this discussion as we did. And as always, please check disclaimers at the end of the episode.

Today, we’re going to mix things up in a few ways. Number one, G3 hosts both Jordi Visser and Mike Edwards from Weiss. And number two, rather than talk about China, crypto, inflation, or the Ukraine conflict in a narrow sense, we are going to focus instead on Europe in general and the potential uncertainties emanating from there. So please stick around and check out important disclosures at the end of the episode. And if you feel like throwing some positive karma our way in the form of a review, we’d appreciate it. And with it, welcome.

Today, G3 hosts Weiss’s CIO and President Jordi Visser, who provides his overall assessment of where things stand in markets. Listeners of this podcast, and those who follow Jordi on Twitter or through his webinars, know that he has been very constructive on equities and crypto for some time. Does he still hold those views based on what he’s seeing or has he changed his tune? Well, please stay tuned to find out, and of course, as always, please check important disclosures at the end of the episode.

Today we have two members of the Weiss team, Jordi Visser and Laura Drobbin, to talk about Weiss’s recent NFT drop. That’s right. Weiss dropped an NFT, which is a portrait of the firm’s founder, George Weiss, set against a pixelated cityscape, with important touchstones of his life incorporated into the work.

Today we are going to present the first of our summer primers. In these episodes, we’ll take a step away from the latest trends in the market and instead focus on topics that can enhance our overall understanding of how markets work. And for our first session, G3 sat down with Weiss’s Jordi Visser to discuss how he extracts insights from the equity options market, which can offer important clues as to the state of markets in general.

So, whether you are at the beach or not, we invite you to kick back and join us for this one. But please, just make sure to check important disclosures at the end of the episode from our lifeguard, otherwise known as our Compliance department.

In this discussion, we focused on inflation, the biggest topic on the minds of investors everywhere. Unlike previous episodes in which we covered it by analyzing monetary policy or the Fed, we are going to look beyond those factors and examine inflation from a public policy and political perspective. Joining G3 is Weiss's Mike Edwards. Please check important disclosures at the end of the episode and stick around for this one. As usual, Mike doesn't disappoint.

In this episode, G3 speaks with Weiss's Mike Edwards about a host of issues that all tie back to a recurring theme. The theme relates to the unintended consequences associated with American policies and principles on sustainability, foreign policy, trade, and human rights. All of which were conceived when inflation was low, we didn't have a war at Europe's doorstep, and US-China relations were more stable. But, times have changed. Please check important disclosures at the end of the episode and stick around for Mike's assessment of how these critical issues could play out.
