The worlds of macro finance and crypto are continuing to draw closer together. On the Margin will host some of the greatest minds in the world of asset management, markets, and discuss how ideas that were once on the margin are now becoming mainstream.
Chart Storm For The New Year | Weekly Round Up
To bring us into the new year, Michael Ippolito & Jack Farley take viewers on an audio-visual guided tour of the most salient macro topics for 2022. They analyze a series of charts that illustrate the most important issues, such as factor rotation in equities, what banks are doing with all their money, and why the interest rate futures market (i.e. Eurodollar futures) has a different view on the future path of interest rates than the Federal Reserve’s own forecasts.

Trump Hates Crypto, Jack Hates Web 3, Erdogan Launches Bid to Support Lira
In this extra special weekly round up, Mark and I are joined by "Hollywood" Jack Farley, welcome Jack!
We kicked things off with Trump's recent comments about crypto. Despite his wife Melania launching an NFT project on Solana, it would seem he is not a fan! Next, we moved onto Jack Dorsey's comments on Web 3. We provided context about recent pushback of NFTs from the Discord and Ubisoft communities, and asked why this pushback felt so emotional.
Finally, we concluded by covering Erdogan's bid to prop up the Lira and compared it to some of the financial experimentation pioneered in crypto.
Happy HODL days all!

Ray Dalio Changes his Mind on Bitcoin, Stock Buybacks Skyrocket, Everything is Money Illusion
In this week's episode, Mark and I start off with Ray Dalio's comments about Bitcoin, Gold and Ethereum. Spoiler alert - minds are being changed! Next we get into the increasing politicization of crypto, and the battle lines being drawn between the Dems and the GOP.
Next we get into breadth in the Nasdaq as a potential sign of worry (thanks Bear O'Shea for the flag!), record stock buybacks amidst insider selling, and finally the growing percentage of net income explained by the stock market.
We end this week's episode on a philosophical question - is ALL growth just a result of money illusion? For the answer to that, you'll have to listen in.

November Inflation Tops 6.8%, Evergrande Defaults on its Debt, Bitcoin's Next 6 Months
In this week's episode, Mark returns from his two week hiatus (woo!). We quickly got into November's 6.8% CPI print, which was the highest in 39 years. We discussed the factors driving inflation, and whether or not they pointed towards transitory or permanent inflation.
Next we covered the Evergrande default, and whether or not the resultant fall out is cause for concern. We moved through skyrocketing household debt, a slowing global credit impulse, and whether or not the world is headed for "Japanification."
Finally, we ended on Mark and my thoughts on where Bitcoin is headed next. Tune in to find out more.

Why Investors Are Running Away From Stocks | Weekly Roundup
With Mark out, we have special guest filling in, Blockworks’ video journalist Jack Farley. We make sense of the recent bout of market volatility, with bond yields plummeting and tech stocks selling off hard. Mike and Jack explore market anomalies such as stay-at-home darlings like Zoom ($ZM) failing to serve as hedge against bad COVID news, and the tremendous surge in the VIX despite the fact that the S&P 500 is only a few points below its all-time-high.
We also talk yield curve flattening, inflation’s threat to the 60/40 portfolio, and why the Bitcoin’s dominance might fade over time in the crypto universe.

Hillary Clinton Fears Bitcoin, Crypto Cycles and Gemini’s 400M Raise | Weekly Round Up
In this week's round up, Mark and I kick things off with some good old fashioned chart analysis. First off - credit where credit is due, I got these charts from the Bankless interview with Benjamin Cowen. Phenomenal episode, I highly recommend you check it out.
We took a look at what appears to be lengthening cycles in crypto, diminishing returns of each cycle, and a general reduction in volatility. Next we went on to take a look at some economic data, mainly the Philadelphia Fed's Manufacturing Index and Initial Jobless Claims. Finally, we ended things on Gemini's $400 million raise led by none other than Mark himself.
To hear what he has to say, give the episode a listen.

Solana Conference Round Up, 6.2% CPI Print, Every Company Bets on "Metaverse" | Weekly Round Up
In this week's episode, we kicked things off with an honest review of Solana's Breakpoint conference which I have been at for the past week. I had two big takeaways from the conference:
1. Solana is going to endure well beyond this market cycle
2. We are approaching a top in the current market cycle
The folks at Solana absolutely hit it out of the park with this conference, and there were lots of great projects building on the ecosystem. In particular, I was most interested to hear from the developers building out financial primitives (banking interfaces, decentralized options, structured, projects, etc...). But there were plenty of signs of excess, which Mark and I get into in the episode.
After the Solana recap, we got into the 6.2% October CPI print, and took a look at historical comparisons of the 1940s and 1970s. After that we moved onto signs of excess speculation in the market, with a particular focus on spot and option trading volumes. We also took a look at historical S&P earnings and valuation metrics, and finally ended with conflicting narratives on household debt.

Wages Jump, Signs of Stress in Emerging Markets, Skeuomorphism in Crypto | Weekly Round Up
In this episode, Mark and I spent a good deal of time covering "inflation related" topics. First we dug deep into retirees leaving the workforce at an accelerated rate, and a look at the jump in wages in the banking sector. Here is the Tweet I referenced, thank you Skanda Amarnath!
Next we took a look at what at first sign appeared to be signs of stress in emerging markets - high yield spreads in China, and emerging market funding stress. But we did a little digging and found a more comprehensive index called the OFR Financial Index, which tracks a broader range of categories (credit, funding, equity valuations, volatility, etc...) and found that we are within the normal range.
We ended the charts portion of the show on a chart of the 20-day moving average of call options traded, which is spiking. We went back and forth a bit about Elon Musk, sorry guys I looked for the article that I referenced and I can't find it. 10 of my finest steeds to the person who can find the article I'm referencing.
To round off the show, Mark and I went into our own personal experience in crypto and what has made some investors successful and others not so. For details on that, you'll have to listen to the episode.

Facebook is Meta, Investors Favor Stocks, Bond Sentiment Falls to Record Lows | Round Up
In this week's show, Mark and I dive deep into investor preferences. The first chart that we look at is a fun one from Michael Batnick of the S&P since March of 09 annotated with mini investor panics (GM and Chrysler file for bankruptcy, European debt crises, multiple government shut downs, COVID, etc...). Spoiler alert: the number goes up, and dips should always be bought.
Next we take a look at investor sentiment on bonds, which is the lowest it's been since 2000 according to a survey conducted by Bank of America. Consequently, aggregate capital allocation from households, mutual funds, pension funds and foreign investors is 52% allocated to stocks, even higher than it was at the peak of the dot com mania.
Mark and I take a deep look at structural growth through the lens of some fun charts we found courtesy of Raoul Pal at Global macro investor, and we end with a look at the "Quarterly Earnings" of the Ethereum network. The name that I couldn't remember during the episode was Ben Giove, thanks Ben and Bankless for the stellar info.
Mark and I spent the entire second half of the show talking about Eth and Facebook's pivot to Meta. For that info though, you're going to have to watch the show.

Growth vs Inflation, Firefighters Pension Buys Bitcoin, FTX Raises $420 Million | Round Up
In this week's round up, Mark and I cover two concepts very deeply: 1) why structural growth is falling and 2) how that impacts inflation.
We spend a lot of time covering Mark's "Killer D's" Framework: Demographics, Debt, and Deflation. We also took a deep look at falling estimates for GDP growth, and the limits on how much we can trust central bankers predictions (hint: we can't).
We also picked apart some charts that came to us courtesy of Jurrien Timmer of Fidelity on how inflation, commodities and the S&P have performed during periods of economic expansion. As always, Jurrien's attention to detail and historic perspective made for some fascinating conversation.
We ended the charts portion of our talk with a conversation about US military spending, and covered the idea that a dominant empire tends to lead to peaceful periods. This pattern is reflected in nature as well.
Finally, in the stories portion of our round up we covered three big headlines: 1) the houston firefighters pension buying Bitcoin and Ether 2) the launch of the Bitcoin ETF and 3) FTX raising $420,690,000 from 69 investor.
For our thoughts on those, you'll have to listen to the episode :)

Enron vs Tesla, Bitcoin Futures ETF, and Coinbase NFT Market Place | Weekly Round Up
In this week's episode, Mark and I kick things off with a cool bit of financial history: Goldman's buy rating of Enron three weeks before it collapsed.
I love this piece because it opened the door to chatting about one of my favorite documentaries of all time, "The Smartest Guys in the Room." Mark of course was around at the time and knew folks involved on the short side, so it was particularly interesting to get his take here.
That conversation segwayed into a discussion of Tesla, and the thin line between visionary and fraud (shout out Bethany McLean). Mark and I somewhat disagreed on this, but I respect his opinion and I think we aligned by the end.
Next we covered one of the more interesting trends happening in America today: everyone is quitting their jobs! We got into why that might be happening, which led to a discussion of the hustle and grit of China compared to the contemporary US.
Finally we kicked things off with our two stories of the week:
1. The launch of the bitcoin futures ETF
2. Coinbase's NFT marketplace
For the full discussion on these last two items, you're gonna have to watch the video yourself :)
