  Bonds Are Paying Investors Again?

  Sep 25, 202613 min

  In this episode, the team discusses the significant repricing that has taken place across the bond market in 2026 and the forces driving yields higher. The team examines the Federal Reserve’s renewed focus on inflation, the different pressures affecting the short and long ends of the yield curve, and how government borrowing and growing corporate debt issuance are influencing supply and demand. The discussion also explores how higher borrowing costs could eventually affect consumers, housing, and economic growth. The team closes by considering the other side of the bond selloff: investors can now earn meaningfully higher income and positive real yields across parts of the fixed income market.

  The AI Pause That Probably Isn’t

  Sep 18, 202625 min

  In this episode, the team discusses the growing debate over whether the development of advanced AI should slow down and what that could mean for investors.

The discussion also explores cybersecurity, hyperscaler infrastructure spending, data center constraints, and the growing role of AI agents in everyday workflows. The team closes by considering why technological success alone does not guarantee attractive investment returns and why price and capital discipline remain critical as the AI cycle develops.

  The Price War for the American Consumer

  Aug 21, 202625 min

  In this episode, the team discusses the increasingly mixed picture of the U.S. consumer as retail sales, confidence data, credit card spending, and recent retailer earnings send conflicting signals. The team examines signs of greater price sensitivity and trade-down behavior alongside areas where spending remains resilient, including back-to-school activity and select retail categories. The discussion also explores how housing costs, inflation, promotions, and changing competitive dynamics are influencing where consumers choose to spend. With the holiday season approaching, the team considers whether recent weakness represents a broader pullback or a consumer becoming increasingly selective about when and where to open their wallet.
