    I Control The Stock Market

    When stocks are soaring and sports bloggers like Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports and talking about how easy it is to make money in the stock market, it might be time to worry. Dan opens this week's episode by reminding listeners, "this is exactly what it sounds like at the top." Then on this week's interview, Dan welcomes guest William Cohan on to the show. Will started his career as an investigative reporter for the Raleigh Times before eventually setting his sights on Wall Street. He quickly began a successful career as a mergers and acquisitions banker, eventually becoming a managing director at JPMorgan Chase. Will and Dan discuss a wide range of topics including Will's latest book, The Last Tycoons: The Secret History of Lazard Frères & Co. Will says, "That's why I wanted to write this book... to share with people what it was like to work at this firm, which had this soaring reputation and was filled with, as you pointed out directly, Great Men but was utterly dysfunctional, utterly chaotic." Will gives Dan all of the fascinating details about what goes on behind the scenes at some of Wall Street's biggest firms. And finally on the mailbag, one listener asks Dan... if inflation occurs and interest rates rise, could we see a period where real estate prices suffer? And another listener asks some in depth questions about asset swaps at the Fed. Dan gives the listener a long and detailed answer here on this week's episode.

  8. Trump's Tariffs: Chaos, Confusion & Consequences

    Trump's Tariffs: Chaos, Confusion & Consequences

    President Trump's chaotic rollout and partial rollback of tariffs has roiled financial markets and confused many allies, both domestically and internationally. Although he temporarily calmed bond markets by announcing a 90-day pause on his misleadingly labeled "reciprocal tariffs," the uncertainty he created continues. Meanwhile, China has responded to the 145% tariffs on their imported goods by imposing retaliatory tariffs on American products and halting exports of rare earth minerals. To help us makes sense of the mess, Kara talks to three experts:  Raj Bhala is a professor at the University of Kansas School of Law and one of the foremost scholars on international trade law. He is also the author of Trade War: Causes, Conduct, and Consequences of Sino-American Confrontation. Bill Cohan is an M&A banker-turned-financial journalist and a co-founder of Puck. He’s the author of a number of books, including Power Failure: The Rise and Fall of an American Icon. Catherine Rampell is a nationally syndicated columnist at The Washington Post who specializes in economics, politics, and public policy. She’s a special correspondent for PBS Newshour and she will soon anchor and co-host of MSNBC’s The Weekend. This episode was recorded on Wednesday April 9th. Questions? Comments?
