About this episode
(9/5/23) Markets are entering the "weak" month of September, the home of when things fall apart; barring any catastrophe, the month should prove to be flat. August Jobs Report shows higher unemployment = slower spending = lower inflation, the Fed's goal. Popcorn shrinkflation at Costco. Why Mega-cap stocks continue to lead the market: Growth of ETF's, and money must be invested for safety & liquidity. Why the Deficit declined: reduced spending; deficit now doubling due to more spending, which has again deferred Recession. The widening gap between spending and revenues; inflation is always a monetary phenomenon (fiscal policy). Government money now being spent on non-productive debt. The Fed's role in Government debt; circular logic in government math & accounting. The downside of Diversity: What is the benefit of DE&I (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion): When diversity is higher, charitable donations and cooperation decline; why are companies pushing DE&I? Employees are less-inclined to unionize. The Value of Social Capital. SEG-1: Market Rally Continues SEG-2: Will Mega-caps Continue to Lead?
