DRUNKENOMICS

For almost everything, there's a right way and a wrong way to do it; then theres most certainly a stupid way. So is there a way to possibly protect yourself from the wrong & stupid ways?  We also touched on the September Quit Report, Jerome Powell's trading disclosures, supply chain bottlenecks, and what base whiskey to use in an Old Fashioned/Manhattan.

Time to talk about the market's favorite benchmark of volatility: the VIX of the Volatility Index. Trust me, it kind of makes sense if you think about it; but it makes even more sense if you don't think about it at all. Either way, what other  Option  do you have this week?

Two Fed chairmans are being pressured to step down due to some COI concerns; which will create the tiniest dent in the coming jobs reports I guess. Thankfully, we avoided a shutdown as Congress has agreed to kick the can down the road and re-face the issue in December. Not sure how the two are related without a drink dram of whiskey in hand.  Find us on Twitter, Instagram, & Facebook @DRUNKENOMICA...

It's been nearly one whole month of extraordinary measures to avoid US Government default; and it has only brought us to a pivotal moment. Will the poorly-casted cast & crew in Congress come up with an agreement before the deadline, or will the government shut down? What are the chances the US government actually defaults??

So Chinese real-estate giant, Evergrande, really isn't feeling too grand anymore as they're facing some serious debt and liquidity issues. To pour a little salt in the wound, the Chinese government said they're not too big to fail. More details in the episode as the Vix is back up above 25.

You asked for it, we drunkly delivered. Here is an episode about PFOF or payment for order flows. Felt timely due to Gary Gensler flirting with the notion of banning it. Also, some big news over the weekend about Guinea that could possibly influence the price of beer cans. Not the beer per se by more so the can itself.

Supply shocks, such as ones caused by hurricanes, can have either short or long term impacts. It's like the difference between having a hangover vs. a drinking problem.

We're pulling an international finance episode on you guys this week because it just so happens to be the largest exchange in the world. Seriously, did you know that forex markets are much larger than the NYSE, Nasdaq, and Tokyo Stock Exchange combined?

If you listen to the end, you'll hear a blooper. But until then, why not get a little geopolitical after what has happened over the weekend in the middle east. Additionally, what's the deal with the taper tantrum ahead of the Jackson Hole meeting next week? Why was the volatility index above 21?

Super quick (Jamesless) rundown of the CPI numbers along with the new budget resolution that was recently passed. I wonder how the infrastructure bill will influence the termination of the debt ceiling suspension. Will be elaborated further in next week's episode.

Here's the first half of our episode this week due to the anticipated CPI & PPI numbers coming out on Wednesday. For now, we did a quick snippet on the new NCAA NIL ruling. Cheers.

So a bunch of economic numbers decided to get published this week after the debt ceiling suspension has ended. Turns out it could be interpreted as either a nice craft cocktail or a bar mat shot. I guess it just depends on how drunk (or hungover) you are. Either way, feel free to take a sip and judge for yourself.

First off, I want to say: long live punk rock. Secondly, that outstanding aggregate US debt of $28 trillion, guess who owns it? And don't act surprised when you find out. Lastly, any word on that debt ceiling suspension yet?

So the excess cash at banks are piling up and tilting the balance sheet against them. Luckily, the Repo Man (aka the Fed & not Emilio Estevez) can untip those scales with a reverse repurchase agreement. But why does it have to soar above $1trillion?

July 31st is the judgement day we've all been waiting for. It's the day in which the debt ceiling suspension ends. However, the debt has run up $5 trillion since the damn thing was suspended; which brings up questions. That is unless of course you don't think about it.

So the June job numbers came out, and it looks like the economy is doing a pretty good job. But how does it compare to the crash in '08, or is there even a comparison there at all? Pour yourself a drink and join the conversation.

So it turns out money supply comes in 4 stages (M0-M3) or brackets or whatever you wanna call it. At least in the U.S. it does. Additionally, inflation is driven by supply & demand for money; so why not complicate it even more by bracketing the ways we measure aggregate supply?

Somehow, we managed to convince a cybersecurity lawyer to have a drink with us over the JBS & Colonial pipeline hack. And boy did we learn a lot about geopolitical implications of an event like this along with the procedures from both the threat agent and the victim.

Wealth is all fun & games until the IRS wants to play. Which is why corporations & billionaires spend a lot of time, energy, & money ironically to legally pay as little as they can. Not here to be the judge on whether that's right or wrong; just laying out some of the ways they do it.

Some of you might know him from his appearances on Fox Business, The TD Ameritrade Network, Cheddar, Yahoo Finance, etc. Others might know him cuz he's just a cool dude with great liquor taste. Either way, we got the one and only, Luke Lloyd from Strategic Wealth Partners, to come on Drunkenomics to talk about the state of the markets, inflation, and crypto! Find us on Facebook, Twitter, & Instagr...

Techenomics is harder than economics. But we tried to squeeze an episode out for you this week regardless. Chalk it up as a non-cash expense, which is the subject of this week's bar tab. In other words, depreciation, amortization, and their younger step brother, depletion.

Money Supply influences inflation; but what influences money supply? In this week's whiskey dram(s), we discuss the tools the fed can deploy to possibly influence buying power.

Short episode this week folks! (and we're not talking about selling short). We had a lot on our plate, but wanted to get something out about business, economics, & finance news real quick.

I know, it took us about time to talk about the most basic principle of economics: Money. How did the concept begin, why is it currently the way it is, and where is the function of money headed? (That last question's just a guess by the way).

Economic rent is a very coveted thing. So much so that many of the largest companies seek it. Therefore, economists have created a cool little name for it: rentseeking. Now why is economic rent so coveted and who(m) exactly does it benefit?
