Renowned financial writer Jared Dillian, the editor and publisher of the esteemed market newsletter “Daily Dirtnap,” returns to analyze the market’s reactions to the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump and to speculate on the potential ramifications had the outcome been different. Dillian joins podcast hosts Jim Iuorio and Bob Iaccino to scrutinize governmental failures, particularly the Secret Service’s response to the incident, alongside the Federal Reserve’s actions and forthcoming monetary policies. Dillian forecasts rate cuts and anticipates a potential rate cut cycle.

Investment opportunities are highlighted, such as gold, silver, Bitcoin, and long-dated S&P puts. The conversation extends to various pertinent topics, including JD Vance as a potential VP pick, his political alignment, Jared’s innovative ‘awesome portfolio’ investment strategy, student debt, homeownership, and the bond market.
