October 22, 2021 MM040: Social media stocks 'Snap', Bitcoin ATH & Trump launches TRUST Social
In this episode, I talk to Eddie Donmez about why the crash in Snap's shares this week is bad for social media stocks but good for Apple. We also investigate the latest SPAC deal between Digital World Acquisition and Trump Media & Technology Group, as the former US President looks to circumvent big tech by launching his own app TRUTH Social. For dessert, we analyse Tesla earnings, review the performance of the first Bitcoin ETF, and comment on the latest PayPal talks to acquire Pinterest, in what could be one of the largest takeover deals of the year.

October 15, 2021 MM039: M&A sugar rush, but how long can it last?
In this episode, I catch up with Eddie Donmez to talk about the performance of US investment banks who have been reporting their latest quarterly earnings this week. These financial firms are raking in record sums, with fees surging past $100bln in the first nine months of the year thanks to a rush of dealmaking. So why is deal activity so crazy, and how long can it last? you'll have to listen to find out!

October 08, 2021 MM038: Have we seen peak Facebook?
Facebook has had a tough week. From its social media services going down due to a "faulty configuration change", to more deep-rooted problems unearthed by the latest Facebook Files leaked from a former employee. Can Mark Zuckerberg evolve the company once more, or is this the beginning of the end? We also discuss the latest energy crisis and what it means for inflation and the Bank of England, and why the Fed will push on with its taper timeline, despite another weak US jobs report.

September 24, 2021 MM036: Evergrande Silence & Fed/BoE Review
In this episode, I talk to the Head of Trading Piers Curran on why stability in interbank funding is integral to the functioning of the financial system, using the Global Financial Crisis as an example to understand the current Evergrande situation in China. We also discuss the latest FOMC meeting, where Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank could begin scaling back asset purchases in November and complete the process by mid-2022, and look at the major obstacles the Bank of England will need to confront in order to hike rates as soon as February 2022.

September 17, 2021 MM035: Evergrande, Team 'Transitory' & French Fury
In this episode, I talk to Head of Trading Piers Curran, about why the Chinese developer Evergrande carries a potential systemic risk to the Chinese financial system, whether US CPI and Retail Sales reports this week alter the perception on the timing of tapering, and why Australia might well feel the wrath of the security pact deal struck with the US and UK this week.

September 14, 2021 BREAKING: Is Evergrande Group the next Lehman brothers?!
There is a breaking news story developing as China's largest property developer whose shares are now down 80% YTD have now hired Houlihan Lokey and Admiralty Harbour as financial advisers to assess their capital structure - it is likely a bankruptcy is coming. They have an eye-watering $310bn in liabilities and are now in a liquidity crunch where they cannot complete their developments so cannot generate the funds to pay creditors. Who are Evergrande, how did they end up in this situation, and what comes next?

September 10, 2021 MM034: El Salvador's Bitcoin distraction
In this episode, I talk to the Head of Trading Piers Curran about El Salvador’s adoption of bitcoin as a legal tender and the crash in crypto we saw earlier this week. We look at the reasons behind this pioneering move but ask the question of whether it's simply a tactic for President Bukele to push his agenda. We also look at why many major Wall Street banks are turning bearish on US stocks and what would need to happen to see a meaningful correction in the S&P 500 into year-end.
