  • What I need to know about the day of trade

    I end most days with a succinct summary of what happened in the market from the point of view of reasoned, integritous, and knowledgeable analysts at the Bahnsen Group. I never miss a Friday and when I have to miss a Friday I plan to go back and listen. David is a man full of wisdom and stature.

  • Who cares?

    Excellent perspective. Solid commentary. But, who cares where you are doing your podcast from and what your travel schedule has been. It’s superfluous.

  • Markets as a Video Game

    Great topic today. I think the biggest risk will be when the markets inevitably correct 10-20%. The “gamers” won’t have the discipline to ride it out. They will panic and sell everything, to their own demise, but also exacerbating the problem and worsening the market drop. Yikes!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Thursday - October 15, 2026
Q: What does the potential entry of SpaceX into the bandwidth market mean for Verizon and the broader telecom space?
Analysts see that while SpaceX Starlink could affect rural coverage, the large-scale existing CapEx by Verizon and other incumbents means the current model isn't immediately broken; however, increased competition could raise CapEx, which could pressure free cash flow and dividend coverage, though the dividend remains covered in the near term.
Tuesday - September 29, 2026
Q: Why were we raising rates if oil is such an input cost to the rest of the economy?
The host explains that raising rates targets the core PCE inflation, which remains above the two percent target, and that a cooling of demand via higher financing costs is intended to prevent broad-based inflation from becoming embedded, even when oil prices are elevated. He notes the Fed's aim to reduce the velocity of money and slow economic activity to bring inflation back toward the target.
Thursday - September 24, 2026
Q: What about international dividend stocks, and how do tax complexities affect them?
The analyst notes that international dividend stocks are not ruled out; tax complexities like foreign tax withholding can be mitigated with foreign tax credits, and historically they've been owned in the past, including European and Japanese payers, but the focus remains on quality earnings, growth, and American-centric payout discipline while remaining open to overseas opportunities depending on fundamentals.
Wednesday - August 12, 2026
Q: Is the transfer of wealth from baby boomers to the next generation inflationary or deflationary, and how does it affect consumer spending?
The guest explains that while baby boomers have substantial wealth and some of it shifts to younger generations, the transfer is a closed-loop operation that doesn't inherently create more money or velocity in the economy, thus it is not necessarily inflationary, though it raises longer-term concerns about productivity and labor force participation.
Wednesday - July 29, 2026
Q: Are the tech companies and AI hyperscalers taking a page from the playbook of the financials, or are they convincing government that they're systemically important?
The host explains that this time is different from the GFC; unlike the mortgage-backed crisis, the current dynamic involves tech companies seeking government equity participation to safeguard the economy, signaling a shift toward policy interventions that may accompany or preempt distress.
