About this Episode

The More for Your Money panel reviewed a volatile week where all four major indexes declined, noting "mixed signals" indicative of a battle between bulls and bears. Guest Todd asserted that the market, by nearly every metric, is currently a bubble built on credit and debt, drawing historical parallels to 1929. A major concern discussed was liquidity risk, specifically identifying private equity/credit as a "hidden evil" due to its lack of regulation and transparency compared to public markets. The panel also debated a listener query regarding the risk of the federal government taking equity stakes in private strategic companies (like Intel) while managing massive national debt.
