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.
James Davolos of Horizon Kinetics, Adam Rozencwajg of Goehring & Rozencwajg and Dave Iben of Kopernik Global Investors join forces to offer a series of hugely enlightening perspectives about where the world finds itself, how we got here and, importantly, not only where we’re headed, but what to do about it.
Super? Yep. Terrific? Absolutely. Happy? You will be. Come and join us.

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 […]

Joining us for this episode of The End Game is Kris Sidial, Co-Chief Investment Officer of The Ambrus Group, a tail-risk manager specializing in volatility strategies. Kris and his team seek to offer investors tail-risk protection without the associated 'bleed' in premium during times of dampened volatility so, with September fast-approaching, we thought it was a perfect time to chat with him as markets prepare to wake from their traditional summer slumbers.
Kris' thoughts about what to expect as we move towards the back end of 2023 are incredibly interesting, with his expected scenario for the rest of this year having the potential to create quite the stir in markets lulled to sleep by the constant downward pressure on vol over recent years.
Buckle up, folks!

The subject at hand in episode six of Shifts Happen is the potential for a new commodity-backed BRICS currency and, joining us to kick the idea around is Josh Crumb, Founder and CEO of Abaxx Technologies.
Through his work at Abaxx, Josh is perfectly placed to discuss the importance of physical settlement in the commodity markets and the practical limitations of introducing a currency that requires settlement through physical transfer.
Also up for discussion is the wider connection between energy and interest rates as Josh shares with us the lessons learned from decades of experience, with his diverse background as a mining engineer, trader and the Co-Founder of Goldmoney, giving him a rare perspective into the significant change taking place in the world of commodities.

Joining me fr this episode of The Grant Williams Podcast is Tom Bachrach, CIO of PFH Capital, a value investing partnership in the Philadelphia area.
Several of Tom's letters to his investors caught my eye in recent months and so I invited him onto the show to talk to me about how an investor looking for undervalued, sustainable businesses goes about navigating the new investment landscape - one of rising rates, falling inflation and ever-escalating madness.
Our conversation took numerous twists and turns from value investing to debt and, eventually, onto energy and each of those turns made for highly thought-provoking discussion.

Joining me in this episode of The Grant Williams Podcast is the Sydney-based CEO of Freelancer.com, Matt Barrie.
Matt was recently invited to give the opening keynote at the Sydney Morning Herald's Sydney 2050 Summit and, it's safe to say that, once Matt left the stage 40 minutes later, the room had been stunned into silence.
The Australia Matt laid bare was a long way from the idyllic, sun-kissed 'Lucky Country' of popular consciousness and far more in keeping with the portrait painted in the pages of Things That Make You Go Hmmm... over the last several years, so it was with great relish that I invited Matt onto the podcast to tell that same story and discuss the reaction to it.
The full text of Matt's stellar speech can be found HERE and a video of his opening keynote is HERE.
I'd strongly urge listeners to either read or watch Matt's speech in full. It is, as they say Down Under, a ripper!

Joining me in this episode of The Grant Williams Podcast is Matt Stoller, former Congressional staffer and author of Goliath: The 100-Year War Between Monopoly Power and Democracy and the excellent Substack BIG.
Matt's work on the threat posed by monopoly power is exceptional and, in this fascinating conversation we cover the challenges he's faced in taking on Big Tech monopolies, the anti-capitalist consequences of monopolistic corporate power, his experiences on The Hill during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis and his bipartisan approach to changing the current political landscape in the United States.
There's so much at stake as large corporations tighten their collective grip on the throat of the consumer and Matt offers an insightful look both backward and forward in trying to assess where things went wrong, and how they might be fixed.
