Yesterday I had Dave Collum and John Polomny on the podcast for a great three way conversation about financial markets, the economy, and the future of the US. If you want to hear us rant about the SpaceX bagholders that will be created, or the asset stripping that has been going on in America, or the various problems in the medical and food systems, you will enjoy this one. It was a great combination and one that I hope to do again in the future. You can find Dave on Twitter, or under his desk. You can find John’s Substack below, but you can also find him on Twitter, and his weekly market updates on YouTube are a must watch.
