  • That’s fascinating

    Listening since first show, but reluctantly signed off some time ago. Guest quality usually very high. Host’s interviewing skills, style, and adaptivity alas, remain wooden. To deem everything ‘fascinating’ is beyond a tic.

  • Barry’s pod is the best!

    I first heard Barry Ritholtz as a guest on Liz Ann Sonders’s equally great podcast (Schwab). I found their discussion so interesting I listed five times.

    Then, to my delight, I found that Barry had his own podcast (Bloomberg). He’s a sharp interviewer, asking questions to get guests to talk freely. He also seems like an all around positive and enthusiastic guy you wouldn’t mind having as a neighbor to chat about markets, economics, cars, or coffee with.

    Some of my favorite interviews are: Bob ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

At The Money: Is Technology Price Gouging Consumers?
Q: Tell us about RealPage.
Owens explains that RealPage's YieldStar software lets landlords share competitively sensitive information and receive recommended rents. Many landlords used the recommendations, which she says can enable price coordination even in markets with many competitors.
At The Money: Is Technology Price Gouging Consumers?
Q: How has technology made fair prices and competition almost obsolete?
Owens says pricing has shifted from simple cost-plus calculations to an engineered process using consultants, algorithms, AI, and systems designed to optimize revenue and extract more from consumers.
Financing In The AI Boom: Masters in Business with Bob Michele
Q: Your fourth quarter 2026 outlook puts the probability of economic expansion at 85 percent. What are the drivers of this?
Michele points to a broad capital-expenditure cycle, including investment in technology, defense, energy security, manufacturing, and supply chains. He also says corporate earnings and profitability appear healthy globally.
Financing In The AI Boom: Masters in Business with Bob Michele
Q: Is the market pricing the AI and hyperscaler buildout correctly, and have investors overallocated to the space?
Michele says demand for AI capacity is high while available capacity is limited, creating substantial financing needs. He sees AI as a lasting transformation and says JPMorgan finances hyperscalers across the capital structure, while acknowledging that the long-term effects remain uncertain.
At The Money: Can Dividend Investing Give You Yield AND Growth?
Q: What sort of rules would you give them for selecting holdings, determining position sizes, reinvesting dividends, and then the big question, when, if ever, do you sell?
Bahnsen recommends a diversified portfolio of about 30 to 35 holdings, evaluating cash flow, leverage, earnings growth, business durability, and management's commitment to dividend growth. He says to sell when the investment thesis breaks or when valuation and opportunity cost make another holding more attractive.
