The markets are wobbly, and Michael Farr and Kenny Polcari give advice on how to assess risk, avoid panic, and maybe even find a bargain in the turmoil. Dan Mahaffee parses the latest from DC and the world, and tells us that any decision on attacking Iran is coming soon.

Is this the beginning of the downturn? Maybe -- Michael Farr and Jim Lebenthal share their worries, but aren't willing to call "time" just yet. Tune in to listen to what successful investors look for in a "toppy" market.

But first up, Michael welcomes Dan Mahaffee for a discussion on how geo-political uncertainties lead to instability not just just in diplomacy, but trade and economics as well.

Jim Lebenthal's new book is coming to market! Pre order now at:

The FarrBlast rolls on and first up, Michael welcomes Jim Iuorio for a discussion on market jitters. Like Michael, Jim isn't expecting a big return in 2026, but a collapse isn't imminent. Jim talks about the investment implications of the broadening impact of AI on the economy, and Michael gives a primer on deflation vs. disinflation. (Hint: one is bad!) Dan Mahaffee joins to untangle the strings of geo politics and helps us understand Greenland.
