Soft Landings and Hard Money

What a week of Madness.

Biden and his high-security storage (his garage) of classified documents was just the tip of the iceberg, or ice cream cone, or milkshake … whatever, it was a wild week.

In addition to discussing the latest CPI inflation report (Dec) and the potential of a soft-landing, the duo also banters about bitcoin, gold, and the debate of hard money versus elastic money.

They even answer a question from a viewer about the impact of Fed rate hikes on the Eurodollar market.

PLUS: Brent introduced a new “GOAT racing a horse analogy” – is the Dollar Milkshake Theory about to get an upgrade? Tune in to find out!

We think you are going to enjoy the latest, then again, we get it wrong more than right … at least that is the “kind” feedback Brent received on Twitter (which we highlight).

Whether off the high ropes, or from the foul line, this one is going to be a slam.
