Episode 26-5: Mar 2, 2026 – Taking Stock of the Israeli/U.S. War against Iran, and More

March 2, 2026

Here, as always, I focus on the FACTS and REALITY behind the Regime Change War now underway in Iran.
— The Backdrop
— What to Expect based on the first two days and extrapolating that
— Already a new oil crisis brewing?
— I discuss the DUAL “closing” already of the Strait of Hormuz
— The (relatively undercovered) BIG sub-plot: The new front in the now-intensifying “World War 3 over Commodities” as it pertains to the U.S.-China relationship.
— What market moves are enduring…which ones may be transient
— President Donald J. Trump’s risky political calculus
— AND MORE!

Episode 26-4: Feb. 1, 2026 – Kevin Warsh nomination & the Markets

February 2, 2026

Here, Chris discusses President Trump’s Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh; a banker right out of D.C. Swamp “central casting,” BUT one whose legitimate views on how the Fed needs to be “reformed” will play fairly well with both sides of the aisle in the Senate. The possible delay in Warsh becoming chair could still roil markets even further: but in the end, Chris discusses his views on what a Warsh Fed will look like (again, he’s FAR from the type of Trump sycophant “MAGA” nominee some thought was coming.) And, you’ll learn the one proposed reform of Warsh’s that could become a major sticking point, especially with those wary of Trump seeking a back door way to get more direct influence over monetary policy. Aside from that, Chris recaps last week’s market activity (especially why the PM’s got belatedly hammered) and explains why EVERYONE’S expectations for 2026 are now going to have to be dialed back somewhat.

Your Money Today Episode 26-3: … with Special Guest Rick Ackerman!

January 27, 2026

Here, my long-time friend and colleague Rick Ackerman (of the eponymous technical/trading service “Rick’s Picks,” just one of the informative things you’ll find at rickackerman.com) joins me on an important market day which marked the One-Year Anniversary of Trump 2.0

The president has many enemies: from leftists protecting pedophiles and other criminals in Minnesota (and elsewhere)…to various nations not all that happy with his assertiveness over trade, tariffs, Greenland, “The Donroe Doctrine” and more.

But perhaps his BIGGEST foe–and one that he may not be able to overcome–is The Dreaded Bond Market Vigilante.

You’ve heard me discuss the president’s (and the Treasury’s) looming crisis for a little while now. Today–as world bond markets REALLY start to blow out — Rick joins me to sort it all out.

Along the way of discussing both the fundamental and technical picture for Treasuries (NOT a pretty picture!) we add some counterintuitive thoughts on the U.S. dollar, metals, politics and MUCH MORE!

A lively and very “meaty” conversation, if I may say so.

Episode 26-2 is Trump like Andrew Jackson or Nero — Fed lawsuit

January 16, 2026

The big new financial soap opera surrounds this weekend’s news of the federal criminal investigation into the Federal Reserve and, specifically, Chairman Jerome Powell. That move is unprecedented; as was Powell’s blunt response last evening. Here–acknowledging the initial, knee-jerk reactions to Trump as either a modern-day anti-banker Andy Jackson OR an Emperor Nero-like thug and crackpot by many–Yours truly as usual covers this with MATH and FACTS. And among the possible outcomes I discuss, Trump may have made it more likely than not that Jerome Powell actually STAYS in his present post past May!

Episode 26-1: Implications of the U.S. Annexation (or whatever) of Venezuela

January 8, 2026

In the first podcast of The New Year, I put off what I’d planned to present and necessarily go into this weekend’s effective annexation of Venezuela by the Trump Administration. Implications of a move that’s actually been planned for YEARS (contrary to accusations by those with the Derangement strain of T.D.S. that this was an impulsive and reckless move by the president) are MANY, as I discuss: — What it all means for priorities on our own soil when it comes to energy and metals and what we THOUGHT we had in an “America First” policy — This was a MAJOR furtherance of “The Donroe Doctrine” — What, if anything, were Russia and China promised? And what might their responses be? — Implications for the 2026 mid-terms in November. — and MUCH more. I also go into America’s LONG history of such moves and explain why Trump’s capture of Maduro and turning Venezuela into an overt “vassal” is actually, in a way, FAR more open and honest than what the Dulles brothers engaged in once upon a time! LINKS: “The Brothers” by Steven Kinzer — Authoritative bio of sorts of John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles I referred to. — https://www.amazon.com/s?k=the+brothe… Dr. Cristina Martin Jimenez post referred to on the back story of the Venezuela annexation/Maduro “arrest” — https://x.com/crismartinj/status/2007…
