    Ep. 222: Markets, Income Investing & Emotional Discipline | Jay Hatfield on What Endures

    Markets feel expensive. Headlines feel loud. Emotions feel elevated. On this episode of The Jay Young Show, Jay Young is joined by Jay Hatfield, CEO & Portfolio Manager at Infrastructure Capital Advisors — one of the rare investors who has experienced nearly every corner of Wall Street: CPA ➝ investment banker ➝ hedge fund PM ➝ real asset investor. With almost 30 years of experience investing through multiple market cycles, Jay Hatfield brings a long-term, income-focused perspective shaped by bubbles, crashes, rate shocks, and shifting investor psychology. In this conversation, we discuss: What feels genuinely different about today’s markets — and what feels very familiarWhy income investing is back in focus after a decade dominated by growthWhy real and hard assets tend to matter more during periods of uncertaintyWhere Wall Street may be mispricing risk and opportunity todayHow emotions like fear, anger, and bitterness quietly damage investor decision-makingWhat principle long-term investors should anchor to when markets feel noisy and polarizedRather than chasing headlines, this episode focuses on discipline, temperament, and durability — the traits that compound over full market cycles.
