19 Mar 2025 | Episode 28: China Still A Buy Or Too Late? With Rupert Mitchell | 00:33:14 | |
Maggie Lake is joined by Rupert Mitchell, author of the Blind Squirrel Macro Substack, to welcome another week of volatility (probably).

So, what's his latest outlook on China - is the equity market attractive or has its 20% jump in 2025 alone taken it into "too late" territory? Also up for discussion: the China consumer story, the great rotation out of US assets, and why the Squirrel is becoming less bearish on Canada.

23 Feb 2025 | Episode 18: An Unrecognizable Recession. With Jeff Snider | 00:48:22 | |
On this episode of Talking Markets, Eurodollar University’s Jeff Snider talks to Maggie Lake about the “sideways” economy, the broken monetary system, and the political fallout from policies that have impoverished people worldwide. Jeff connects the dots between economic stagnation, political volatility, the rise of digital currencies, and the stock market’s one-note view of what a recession is. (Spoiler alert: the bond market has a much more nuanced view.) If a conversation that sits right in the middle of geopolitics, macro, and digital sounds up your street, then you’ve come to the right place. Recorded February 21, 2025.
