June 06, 2018 Quoth the Raven #41 - Kenny Polcari Talks About the 9/11 Attacks from the New York Stock Exchange
(Audio improves throughout podcast)
Kenny Polcari comes on and walks us through what the events of 9/11 were like from the floor of the NYSE, and the lasting impact that these events had on the way stocks traded after 2001.
Kenny Polcari graduated from Boston University, School of Management in 1983 with a B.S. / B.A. degree: concentration finance.
He came to Wall Street as a summer intern on the New York Stock Exchange during the summers of '80, '81 & '82 and upon graduation moved from Boston, Mass. to New York City where he began his career on the trading floor. He became a member of the New York Stock Exchange in August, 1985 and is currently a Managing Director at O'Neil Securities, Inc. and represents the interests of institutional asset managers that need to access global equity markets. Earlier in his career, Kenny served as managing director at Icap Corps, LLC, and prior to that was senior vice president, member New York Stock Exchange and division manager with Salomon Brothers directing their NYSE Division during the heady bull market of the 1990's.
His 30 years of experience has taken him from the birth of the greatest bull market, to the crash of '87, the roaring '90's, the .com implosion, decimalization, 9/11, Regulation NMS, the merger between the NYSE / ARCA, then NYSE/Euronext, automation, HFT, and fragmentation. He is an engaging public speaker and you can find him speaking at industry & investor conferences, as well as colleges, forums and major asset manager events. He is at ease speaking about NYSE history, rules & regulation, former & current market structure including internalization, HFT and fragmentation and how those changes have forever changed the face of the U.S. capital markets and what that means to the investor. He writes a daily "Morning Thoughts" missive that is an informative, engaging and entertaining look at global markets and provides insight into the day's action. It has gained wide popularity and has become a signature of his "boots on the ground" analytical style. He is a member of STA and NOIP and is a guest lecturer for The American College. He holds the series 7, 24, 27, 55, 63 registrations.

On this podcast, I rant about golf, Roseanne, IPOs and why reading a CNBC article about Uber's potential IPO in 2019 pissed me off enough to make a podcast.

May 30, 2018 Quoth the Raven #39 - Another Tesla Autopilot Accident: A Deadly Serious Discussion
Fair warning, this is a relatively serious podcast with little humor content. Why? Because another Autopilot incident was reported today, this time by the Laguna Beach Police Department, who put on their Twitter that a Model S had smashed into the side of a police cruiser while on Autopilot. The officer that spoke to the media said a similar accident happened at the same place in the road prior. This leads me to take a serious tone and ask a couple of questions: what are the lengths of negligence that Tesla could be found liable for, is the marketing being doing wrong for Autopilot or is the software literally being "debugged" on the road and who is going to finally step in and realize that lives could continue to be put at risk?

May 26, 2018 Quoth the Raven #37 - Jim Cramer is Telling People Domino's Pizza is a Technology Company, Someone Kill Me Please
I was going to do a nice podcast about Memorial Day weekend until I walked downstairs and saw on the TV that Jim Cramer is apparently telling people that Dominos Pizza is a technology company now. I guess he is trying to justify the company having a 26X multiple and nearly 6X EBITDA in debt. This represents the absolute worst of the worst and I go on a rant about it, also trying to hold Mr. Cramer’s feet to the fire on past market manipulation statements he’s made and his propensity to have a long bias while hypocritically acting like short sellers are the worst thing in the world.

May 25, 2018 Quoth the Raven #36 - Matt Stewart Discusses Carl Icahn Exiting His Herbalife Position
In a podcast that I did last week, I had Matt Stewart on to talk about the state of the Herbalife trade. One of the things that we tossed around was how Mr. Icahn was going to exit his stake in the company. With the news breaking today that Carl Icahn and Icahn Enterprises has tendered a significant portion of its shares back to the company, I thought it only fitting to have Matt back on the podcast to discuss what this exit means, and how Mr. Icahn may proceed moving forward.
Matt Stewart was one of my favorite people to read while the Herbalife debate was ongoing. He published over 180 quick witted articles on Seeking Alpha and because a friend of mine in the process. He's a private investor, former vice president & director of RBC Dominion Securities Inc. in Toronto and holds an Honors BA from the University of Western Ontario and an MBA from the F.W. Olin School of Business at Babson College. Matt also represented all BCE common shareholders as the 'intervenor' in the BCE v. Bondholder's case argued before the Supreme Court of Canada in July, 2008.

May 22, 2018 Quoth the Raven #35 - The Rigged Stock Market Is Guaranteed to Crash Again, But When?
In this podcast, I talk about monetary policy as a whole - why I think its insane and why our current policy ensures that we are going to have another financial crisis much larger than the one we had in 2008. I talk about how the Fed is making problems worse by selectively bailing out companies and I give examples of actual free markets. If the stock market is just guaranteed to always go up and guys like Warren Buffett predict the Dow is just going to keep going to 1,000,000, is that really a market - or is it one of the biggest long cons in history? Hint: it's the latter.
