Our second weekly episode where you get THE SKINNY on whatever's happening in the markets, big deals in the news, and pop culture with us, The Wall Street Skinny.  In this episode, we explain the collapse of the yen carry trade after the faster than expected rate hike from the Bank of Japan coupled with the weaker than expected US Non-Farm Payrolls report last week, which triggered the Sahm Rule signaling a recession.  We also touch on Bill Ackman's canceled IPO, and the scandal around the social media phenomenon of TikTok star "Ballerina Farm".
