Nanette Jacobson, Global Investments Strategist at Hartford Funds, joins Forward Guidance to share her investment outlook. Jacobson argues that it might be time to lean into bonds because the bonds tend to rally 13 months before the Federal Reserve cuts rates, and she and Jack Farley debate the various merits of owning bonds at this juncture in the business cycle.

As markets have rallied to start the year, Peter walks through the state of the U.S economy. With inflation having seemingly peaked, Powell seems confident that disinflation will be the path ahead for 2023.

My guest today is Dan Tapiero, Co-Founder and CEO at 10T Holdings. Dan has one of the most impressive pedigrees of any investor I've ever met. He cut his teeth working with Julian Robertson, which we get into detail about during the episode, but he's also worked closely with Stan Druckenmiller, Steve Cohen, and others.
In this episode, we cover an overview of Dan's investing philosophy, his thoughts on the current macro environment, his entry into digital assets, and how that all led him to co-found his current fund 10T Holdings.

Peter Stella, Former Head of the IMF Central Banking Division, joins Joseph Wang, former senior trader for the New York Fed and author at Fedguy.com, and Jack Farley for a wide-ranging discussion on:
-what really causes inflation
-monetarism, fiscal theory of the price level, and modern monetary theory (MMT)
-the unrealized losses on the Fed’s balance sheet
-why yield curve control likely won’t be necessary (or so Peter argues)
-the longer the duration of a governments’ debt, the less inflation is required to inflate it away
-when a central bank incurs unrealized losses, who “wins” and who “loses”?

Noel Smith, Chief Investment Officer & founder at Convex Asset Management joins Jack Farley to talk all things volatility: how does it affect the S & P 500 options, stocks, and bonds? When Noel Smith first came on Forward Guidance in June, he predicted the market would not crash. That has played out very well as the S&P 500 has surged higher since then volatility has fallen. Since Noel’s prediction turned to be completely accurate, Jack wants to know: is Noel a genius, or did he just get lucky?
Noel and Jack talk about the dispersion between index volatility and single stock volatility, as well as the flipping of stock/bond correlation. Does Noel think volatility will return to the markets? You need to watch to find out!
Filmed the morning of July 27, 2022 (before the FOMC meeting).

Vincent Deluard, head of global macro at StoneX, has been extremely prescient in calling for persistently high inflation. Vincent returns to Forward Guidance to explain why he thinks that inflation will remain close to the 5-7% range over the next decade, due to inflationary demographics, the reversal of globalization, regular energy crises, and declining immigration.
Deluard proposes a “holy Trinity” portfolio consisting of energy companies (which benefit from inflation), banks (which benefit from rising rates), and healthcare companies (which perform during a recession and which offer secular growth exposure at much cheaper valuations to the technology sector). Filmed on October 25, 2022.
