Michael Farr and Dr. Sahm take a deep dive into the economy and explore the conundrum. Plus, it's debate time, and Dan Mahaffee gives us the lay of the land as we reach the end of the beginning of the political season.

Because One Is Too Little and Three Is Too Much
Dr. Jeff Lacker returns after last week's preview of the Fed to give us a review of what we learned from the FOMC. The Fed continues to thread the needle, and Dr. Lacker gives his opinion on why not should the Fed stay put through the end of the year, but why they will.
But first we catch up with Kenny Polcari on markets, and Dan Mahaffee on DC. It's The FarrCast -- Wall Street, Washington, and The World! -

Customer Reviews
Unique because of politics segment
This is a good podcast. Farr brings in some decent guests and it is the only financial podcast I have come across with a dedicated segment on current politics. The intro music and MC are so cheesy though. Farr kept saying that two stocks, Microsoft and ‘Google’ (=Alphabet), make up 20% of the S&P 500 index. I went back and re-listened to the 8/25/23 episode to confirm this. His statement is completely incorrect. There weren’t any two stocks that made up 20%. As of 8/1/23 the two largest stocks by market cap index weight were Apple (7.5%) and Microsoft (6.5%). Alphabet was only 2%. I remember him saying something similar another time previously.

The best financial podcast that I’ve had the pleasure of listening to. It’s so informative that I routinely listen to it multiple times.
Great content and insight
Really enjoy listening every week!
