Who is buying right now and who is bidding the market higher? Why are people buying bankrupt companies? Do they have any idea what they're doing? Does the market make any sense? And how do you know what a share is actually worth anyway?

All this and more with the boys on this week's Minimum Chips.

Adam thinks it's a bit suss that share markets are marching on to all-time-highs while we've got the worst economic data in history. Thomas tells us why markets have detached from fundamentals thanks to money-printing, and tells us we should buy everything and/or raise a militia. All that and more on this week's Minimum Chips Podcast.

Suddenly the Government is splashing the cash around all over the place. What happened to that "budget emergency"? Where is that money coming from? Where is it going? How can Adam get some?

As we ask these questions, Thomas gives us a bunch of fancy names for money printing, and explains the difference between Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) and vintage, small-batch monetary theory.

All that and more with the boys on this week's Minimum Chips.

Find out why Thomas (the economist) just fixed his home loan, is there any chance that interest rates could go negative, and is there any chance Adam's lender could go bust and he ends up with a free house. Oh, and just what is a 'confusopoloy'?

This week the boys look at the carnage playing out in the retail sector with a guy who once spent 24 hours in a Kmart. Did COVID-19 kill Target, or did it just give Wesfarmers the cover they were looking for? And how did Kmart get cool? Featuring a special guest, comedian Jason Pestell.

The very first episode. Adam asks Thomas his thoughts on the future of the Australian property market. Are we all doomed? Property will drop, but by how much. And is their mum really a compo claim scammer?
