Holiday Movie Ho Hum
Trading Perspectives: An Economic Podcast
12/14/22 • 24 min
The holidays have always been a time for massive blockbuster movies. However, changing consumer behavior seems to be threatening this tradition.
After all, a lot of people wonder why they should pay no small sum of money in order to watch a movie that will be on a streaming service in a few weeks.
Still, others love the whole ceremony of going to the theater, getting a soda and popcorn, and enjoying the entertainment with others. Which side will win? The new consumer or the old traditionalist?
In this week’s Trading Perspectives, Sam, Courtney and John discuss the movies and whether they plan on going to the theater over the holidays. Will it be a surprise who is planning on doing so or not?

They Downgraded the Nation's Debt. So What?
Trading Perspectives: An Economic Podcast
08/03/23 • 22 min
This week, the Fitch Rating organization downgraded U.S. Treasury debt from its highest rating of AAA to AA+. But what did it accomplish? Is the U.S. Treasury market no longer the world’s most liquid? Is the U.S. dollar no longer the world’s primary reserve currency? Did the U.S. financial system suddenly become more opaque? Is the U.S. Treasury in danger of defaulting on its debt? Or is the bigger issue Washington’s inefficiency in spending money that it will eventually have to repay? Further, does anyone really want the Congress to tighten the purse strings in a meaningful way?
In this week’s Trading Perspectives, Sam and John discuss the probable outcomes of Fitch’s downgrade and what it really means for the US. Perhaps Sam really isn’t as cynical as everyone says. Or maybe he is.

However, given how far behind the US is in EV battery technology and supply-chain sourcing, is it realistic to imagine the Big Three expanding its EV production without technical assistance from China?
In this week’s Trading Perspectives, Sam and John discuss the current state of the EV market in the United States and what changes the Big Three have to make in order to compete without help from the Chinese.
