The Economy Looks Strong… But Is It? - Jim Welsh #6361
Kerry Lutz and Jim Welsh dig into why the U.S. economy looks stable on the surface, with growth near 2.5%, but may be far less balanced underneath. Jim warns that government spending is masking a widening divide, where the top 10% of earners drive consumption while lower-income households feel increasing pressure. Despite recent market weakness, Jim notes that internal indicators like the advance-decline line remain firm, historically limiting the depth of market corrections. This helps explain why markets continue to hold together even as risks quietly build. They also discuss President Trump's global negotiating strategy, including Greenland, and how climate change...

Siddell explains how panic buying, inflation pressure, and volume spikes collided in the metals markets — and why the pullback wasn't weakness, but a warning.

The conversation turns to silver, where supply constraints, historical rati...

California Is Killing Small Business - Bruce de Torres - #6363

The Lock-In Economy - Jason Hartman - #6370
Mortgage rates tripled. The crash never came. In this Episode Kerry Lutz and Jason Hartman break down why U.S. housing didn't collapse when borrowing costs exploded. Nearly 25% of homeowners hold mortgages at or below 3%. About 65% are at 4% or less. That "lock-in effect" crushed supply and froze mobility. Fewer than 800,000 homes are listed nationwide — under 0.6% of America's 140 million housing units. Owners won't give up cheap debt. Inventory stays tight. Hartman believes this imbalance could persist into 2032–2033. Scarcity and utility continue driving prices — even after the rate shock. The conversation then shifts to immigration and rental housing. Hartman argues most undocumented migran...

Ebooks on Bookshop.org: What Does It Mean for Indie Authors?
<p>In 2020, Bookshop.org disrupted the bookselling space with a mission to support independent bookstores while enabling readers to buy print books online. That mission has now expanded to ebooks, with titles distributed through Draft2Digital. In this conversation, Orna Ross is joined by Kris Austin of Draft2Digital and Nick Hunt of Bookshop.org to examine what this shift means for authors.
