This week on the Futures Edge Podcast, we sat down with Jim Bianco, President, and Macro Strategist at Bianco Research, L.L.C. Since 1990, Jim’s commentaries have offered a unique perspective on the global economy and financial markets. We know Jim to be objective, incisive and without bias, and he doesn't disappoint in this conversation. Bianco Research covers monetary policy, the intersection of markets and politics, the role of government in the economy, fund flows, and positioning in financial markets. Jim tackles all of these subjects in this week's show and a few others...

Vivek Ramaswamy, a 2024 Republican Presidential Candidate, joins us this week for a frank discussion on China, Taiwan, Ukraine, the Dept. of Education, and much more. He's honest, intelligent, charming, and knows the issues inside and out, despite being an actual outsider to the political process.

Vivek is an American business leader and New York Times bestselling author of Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam, along with his second book, Nation of Victims: Identity Politics, the Death of Merit, and the Path Back to Excellence.

Left leaning media has called him the "intellectual godfathers of the anti-woke movement" (Politico) and the “right’s leading anti-ESG crusader” (Axios and Bloomberg). He was dubbed "The C.E.O. of Anti-Woke," by the New Yorker and has been described by the Federalist Society as "one of the most compelling conservative voices in the country." These movements are now popularized in mainstream conservative thought.

Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, he often recounts the sage advice from his father: “If you’re going to stand out, then you might as well be outstanding.” This set the course for his life: a nationally ranked tennis player, and the valedictorian of his high school, St. Xavier. He went on to graduate summa cum laude in Biology from Harvard and received his J.D. from Yale Law School, while working at a hedge fund, then started a biotech company, Roivant Sciences, where he oversaw the development of five drugs that went on to become FDA-approved.

In 2022, he founded Strive, an Ohio-based asset management firm that directly competes with asset managers like BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard and others, use the money of everyday citizens to advance environmental and social agendas that many citizens and

Dr. Komal S. Sri-Kumar, President of Sri-Kumar Global Strategies, Inc., a macroeconomic consulting firm, joins Jim and Bobby this week. We don't have Sri on the show because he is a Senior Fellow at the Milken Institute or because he is a member of the Economic Club of New York. We don't even care much about Sri holding an M.A. in Economics from the Delhi School of Economics and an M.Phil and Ph.D. degrees from Columbia University or that his doctoral dissertation at Columbia University was supervised by Robert Mundell, Nobel Laureate in Economics (1999). We have him on because he is right so damned often.

On our 50th episode of the Future Edge Podats, Jeffrey Kleintop, CFA, Managing Director, and Chief Global Investment Strategist at Charles Schwab, joins us this week. Jeff has one of the most interesting and nuanced takes we've heard on this podcast on inflation, the Fed, and equities going forward. Jeff is brilliant, and you'll want to watch until the end.

Economist, Former Federal Reserve insider, & CEO/Chief Strategist Quill Intelligence LLC Danielle DiMartino Booth joins Jim and Bob to talk about the debt ceiling, China, Fed actions, and what's next for the U.S. economy. She also covers the problem of Government spending. Wayyyyyy too much Italian going on here.

The CEO/Founder of GLJ Research, Gordon Johnson, joins Jim and Bobby for a loud and raucous conversation on the Fed, Tesla (TSLA) & Sunrun (RUN). Whatever you may think of Gordon, he ain't scared to share his opinion and backs it up with data. In the wake of SVB, this is an even more important conversation than when we recorded it.    

Path Trading Partner's Co-founder & Chief Techincal Officer, Mike Arnold, is back with specific levels to look at over the coming month in the S&P, NASDAQ, Crude oil, Copper, Gold, Silver & the XLF

Emma Muhleman, Senior Portfolio Manager at Ascend Capital, Joins Jim and Bob this week to discuss China, Markets, and the problem with unathletic children.

We are joined by the too-smart-for-us Cameron Dawson, who shares her views on pretty much everything.  A much watch.

He previously worked on Bloomberg, Dealbreaker, and Real Vision. We started talking about his favorite interviews and his guest's opinions on the current macro environment, but as it turns out, the most interesting thoughts were Jack's own.
