Joining me for the final episode of The Grant Williams Podcast in 2023 is returning guest, Michael Oliver, the brains behind Momentum Structural Analysis (MSA) – one of the most original and, in my experience, accurate forecasters of asset prices right across the spectrum.
In a hugely enjoyable conversation, we discuss the current state of the markets and what to expect in 2024. Michael explains his unique approach to technical analysis, which focuses on momentum rather than price, and emphasizes the importance of looking at long-term trend structures and how they can provide a different perspective on market patterns.
Also under the microscope are the potential impact of the upcoming US elections and the increasing division in the country. Michael explains why he believes that there is no outcome of the election that will be peaceful and that this could have significant implications for the markets.
Lastly, he also highlights the potential for a rally in gold and commodity-related stocks. Whichever way you cut it, Michael’s analysis suggests that investors should be cautious in the face of potential market volatility in the coming year.

In the penultimate episode of The Grant Williams Podcast for 2023, I’m delighted to welcome Jesper Koll, a long-time resident of Japan and former Chief Strategist and Head of Research for U.S. investment banks J.P. Morgan and Merrill Lynch for a discussion about the current state of the country’s economy and the many Western misperceptions about the investment opportunities available in the world’s third-largest economy.
Jesper discusses the quiet revolution taking place in Japan and the positive changes that have occurred over the past few decades, highlighting the improvements in quality of life, public infrastructure, and corporate efficiency. We also discuss the role of the Bank of Japan and the potential for interest rate normalization.
Jesper suggests that sectors such as banks, financials, residential developers, and capital goods companies could benefit from the current economic landscape in Japan and emphasizes the importance of human capital and the changing dynamics in the labor market.

The Green Chicken is back to discuss three excellent recent pieces spanning Western sanctions against Russian oil and their unintended consequences, the preposterous words of a high-ranking member of the US House Ways & Means committee around the 'creation' of hydrogen and the ongoing attempts to wean the world off a diet of meat.
As always, Doomberg brings a little much-needed sanity to the debates around all three issues, using outdated concepts such as science and common sense to debunk much of what mainstream media is force-feeding its consumers.
As the world around us gets a little more unhinged with each passing day, we're fortunate to be able to call upon a cartoon fowl to provide a little perspective.

Returning to The Grant Williams Podcast for the latest episode is my dear friend, and most requested guest, Felix Zulauf.
Once again, Felix offers a comprehensive roadmap for the coming months, including another tour de force assessment of bond markets, equity markets, currencies, commodities and the various (and mounting) geopolitical challenges facing investors in all corners of the globe.
Felix walks us through his framework for 2024 and 2025, explains where adjustments have been made from his eerily prescient predictions a year ago and outlines the results of his constant reevaluation of the various short- and long-term cycles which form the foundation of his extraordinary work.
Bitcoin, gold, the Japanese yen and yes (TRIGGER WARNING), climate change all come under Felix’s microscope, so sit back and enjoy one of the true greats of our business in full flow.

As Sam Bankman-Fried is found guilty on all seven counts in the biggest crypto-related trial to date, I’m joined by author Zeke Faux, whose scintillating new book Number Go Up: Inside Crypto’s Wild Rise and Staggering Fall has been the must-read book of the summer for me.
Equal parts hilarious, head-scratching and powerful, Zeke does a tremendous job of taking us inside the crazy world of crypto – starting with a subject close to my own heart: Tether.
Zeke follows the trail of extraordinary characters who inhabit the ecosystem of the world’s biggest stablecoin on a journey that brings him into contact with all the major figures in the Cryptoverse and on a wild ride to ApeFest in Manhattan.
Whether you’re a crypto believer or a fellow skeptic, the book and this conversation are a rare treat.

Returning to The End Game is The Lord of the Dark Matter himself, James Aitken. Among the topics under discussion is the (under appreciated) potential for a normalization cycle by the Bank of Japan. James suggests the BOJ may attempt a policy rate normalization due to structural reforms and the need to revitalize the equity culture in Japan which, it’s fair to say, would send the horses scuttling from the barn. James also highlights the potential spillover effects and changes in incentives for Japanese savers, which could impact global bond markets and capital flows.

In the latest episode of The Super Terrific Happy Hour, Steph and Grant are joined by an all-star panel of guests to discuss the macro environment as it pertains to inflation and how each of them is using their vast experience to position themselves correctly for the way they see the inflationary pulse playing out.

Joining me on the latest episode of The Grant Williams Podcast is my great friend, David Hay, Co-CIO of Evergreen GaveKal and the author of the excellent Substack Haymaker.
Dave and I have known each other for the best part of fifteen years and have spent countless hours debating markets, testing hypotheses and helping each other understand and chart a course through increasingly difficult markets.
This time around, the matters at hand included the wisdom of Seth Klarman, the Not-So-Fabulous Four, the debate about a soft- or no-landing scenario, the US consumer, oil markets and so much more. As always, Dave’s perspective on the entire market spectrum was incredibly useful as we discussed commodities, homebuilder stocks, the places Dave is investing and even found time for a little Fourth Turning.
Definitely a conversation not to be missed.

Joining me on the podcast for this episode is Chris Joye, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Coolabah Capital Investments in Sydney Australia, a multi-billion dollar long/short credit fund founded in 2011. I’ve been following Chris for a number of years and was delighted to finally get the chance to talk to hm and the conversation more than lived up to my lofty expectations. Subjects under discussion include why Chris believes the market is underestimating how long higher inflation will persist (and the ramifications that will surely follow), why he believes this time the world’s central banks will be forced […]
