Financial Times & Pushkin Industries
About this episode

Last week’s Fed statements revealed that its Open Market Committee was thinking about the possibility of interest rate cuts at some point, and the markets responded with insane glee, unexpectedly sending the S&P 500 up to nearly an all-time high.

Also, we go long fraud and short Christmas cards.
