Were Fed Dissents ‘Suppressed’? Jim Bianco’s Mic-Drop Question for Powell (Fed Day Clip)
<p>In this short clip from The Money Path, host Todd M. Schoenberger asks Jim Bianco (Bianco Research) what he would ask Chair Jerome Powell if he had one question at today’s Fed press conference. With the FOMC decision due at 2:00 PM ET and Powell’s press conference at 2:30 PM ET, Bianco says the real market signal may be the dissent votes—and whether the Fed’s internal split has been more significant than the public has seen.

Fed Day Warning: Michael Green Says Dissents = Uncertainty—and Uncertainty Is Bearish
<p>In this short clip from The Money Path, host Todd M. Schoenberger asks Michael Green (Simplify Asset Management) what it means for markets if today’s Fed decision includes multiple dissent votes. With the FOMC rate decision at 2:00 PM ET and Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference at 2:30 PM ET, Green delivers a blunt takeaway: uncertainty is bearish—and visible dissents can inject uncertainty into the future path of policy. Green also argues that dissents may reflect more than economics—pointing to internal dynamics and the broader backdrop of a coming Fed transition, with Powell’s chair term expected to end in...

<p>In this short clip from The Money Path, Ryan Detrick (Chief Market Strategist, Carson Group) breaks down why a Fed rate cut near all-time highs has historically been a bullish signal—sharing his research that when the Fed cuts within ~2% of an S&P 500 record, the market has been higher one year later in every historical instance he studied.

The $140K Poverty Line: Michael Green on Affordability, Benefits Cliffs & a Fed Without a Theory
<p>In this episode of The Money Path, host Todd M. Schoenberger speaks with Michael Green, Portfolio Manager and Chief Strategist at Simplify Asset Management, about one of the most debated topics in America right now: affordability.</p> <p>Michael unpacks his widely shared Substack argument that the official poverty line for a family of four—often cited around $32,000—no longer reflects modern reality, and that a more realistic “true cost of living” threshold can be closer to $140,000 once you account for housing, childcare, and education. They explore how inflation can slow while households still feel squeezed, why the benefits cliff di...
25bps Cut… But ‘Hell to Pay’? Jim Bianco Warns the Fed Can’t Ignore Affordability
<p>In this short clip from The Money Path, Jim Bianco (Bianco Research) explains why a 25-basis-point Fed cut looks likely—but the decision is more complicated than “weaker jobs = cut.” He points to initial jobless claims falling to 191,000 (a 3-year low) as evidence layoffs aren’t surging, even as announced job cuts can hint at what’s coming later. Then Bianco drops the key warning: the Fed may be underestimating the political and economic risk of affordability—because even as inflation cools, households still feel squeezed by the cumulative rise in prices since 2020. 👉 Watch the full episode here: • The Fed vs Wall Street: Ji...

<p>In this post-live episode of The Money Path, host Todd M. Schoenberger sits down with Aquiles Larrea for a wide-ranging market conversation—from today’s “lame duck” feel in equities to what could drive the next major move.
