Calling Their Bluff

This is definitely our best episode yet.

Yeah, we talk sports in the beginning, but it ties into how Brent’s athletic experience molded his trading disciplines.

From there we move quickly into markets and how the foot race between bulls and bears to start 2023 is starting to show an early leader.

Also, for another week in a row, the Milkshake Duo is turning Japanese. This time they go a little deeper into the Japanese Yen carry trade and why it matters so much to investors and global markets.

Making Japan the example for more deep dive, Brent explains why eventually a government, and its central bank, will need to choose between the bond market or the currency – and why the bond market will always win.

Lots of knowledge shared in this episode, so grab your note pad and put your learning cap on, you are in for a treat … one might even go so far to say, a tasty milkshake!
