Who insures the insurers?

Back-to-back Hurricanes Helene and Milton caused billions in damage. How are insurers going to pay for it all? Turns out, insurance companies have their own insurance. But as disasters get more severe and more frequent, “reinsurance” isn’t covering what it used to. Also in this episode: Boeing has major catch-up to do, an abandoned oil field could become a lithium extraction hotspot, and small businesses seem hesitant to cut health benefits.

Don’t touch that AM dial!

There are only a few bills with strong bipartisan support in the soon-to-be lame duck Congress. Requiring AM radio in new cars is one of them. Proponents say AM radio is a vital part of the Emergency Alert System and still broadcasts news in rural communities. Carmakers aren’t buying it. Plus, the Dow’s got some newcomers, OPEC (once again) postpones increasing oil production, and farmers stress about tariffs ahead of the election.

Big Tech trust-busting

The federal government is seeking a legal remedy for Google’s monopoly on internet search, as adjudicated by a federal judge. That remedy could include a breakup of its parent company, Alphabet.

Also in this episode, Shohei Ohtani is a star in the baseball card market and California’s battle with planet-clogging plastic bags enters a new phase.

The consumer spending sweet spot

Consumer spending has been strong since the post-pandemic-crash economy got back on its feet, and it continues to prop up GDP. But too much spending, as well as too little, could mess with the Federal Reserve’s goals of stable prices and maximum employment. Also in this episode: WNBA players want a contract to match their popularity and brand power, wage growth stays ahead of inflation and farmers are having a down year.

Why Fed independence is crucial

If Donald Trump is reelected president, the Federal Reserve’s political independence would go “right out the window,” Alan Blinder, a former Fed vice chairman, told us. In this special episode, economists weigh in on the importance of Fed autonomy in policymaking, and what political interference — something Trump is threatening — could mean for the global economy.

Sad to Leave This Show

I have listen to this show for over 20 years. Today is the day I sadly leave it. This show has become so political and not about economics or the markets. Simply another tool of the political elites to sway the population. Goodby Marketplace.

Been listening to this shows for about 10 years. Will continue to listen to keep up to date on financial news. However, tread lightly. Know that this podcast is heavily biased to the left, unfortunately. I don’t think they even realize it, but although they claim often to not involve politics they often do. Further, when they do involve politics it’s to prop up the left and put down the right. You will never hear a positive remark on Trump or any republican policy. Please do better to stay unbiased.
Love it
