This week we kick off talking about the latest Tech and AI pullback behavior we've seen in the market, as well as lending some discussion about a possible unexpected indicator - how solvent a company is and the state of their break rooms!

We get into talking about the price of oil dropping below $70 a barrel, and what should or shouldn't be read into it.

We also briefly touch on the 10 year bond as yields ease with it falling to 4.37% and what's going on there.

After the break, we come back and answer audience questions, and of course get into Stupid Bets!

THIS is the episode you've been waiting for! The episode kicks off first highlighting the latest out of Iran, whether the Strait of Hormuz is opened, what's going on with the peace agreement, and then what's exactly going on in Geneva! All of this to say, we've got another week of waiting and Kushner most definitely is going back to Geneva!

The gang talks about Warsh, their take on him, and the challenges he has ahead of him and what his impact will be on economic markets.

THEN - thanks to all of you, we get into some tin-foil hat theory discussion, the panelists talk about whether they think the current administration is intervening in the US equities market to prevent a major correction, and how that could even work!

Afterwards, we get into earnings this week, macro economic reports, and then to audience questions and close out with Stupid Bets!

This week's episode recorded a little later than usual, but the gang was in a great mood, and they had a lot of fun!

*** Please note, that while editing the audio, JFresh's audio seemed to be a little lower than the others, and while I tried to address it as much as I could there may be some minor issues with it ***

The gang is back, and they're ready to start this week off by talking about a possible agreement in Iran, and whether or not it's likely to proceed and what the broader implications of it will be on global financial markets!

Next, they dive into the SpaceX IPO, and specifically why it may not yet be considered a success. For our "Sports Ball" fans, the hosts even get into some brief discussion about the World Cup!

Stick around during the commercial break as well for something special related to this week's title! After the commercial break, we're back to Trading with Gammastrike, and we've got a big backlog of questions from last week's episode along with this week that get tackled, all before getting to stupid bets!

We start this week's episode off by getting into Trump and recent tariff discussion, and then got into Bitcoin, Crypto, and how there's certainly some overlap going on with AI! We then talked a lot about how AI may be finally starting to experience some pressure and what a possible bailout could mean!

Our second part of the episode gets largely into audience questions, and we're really thankful for how many questions you all are giving us! One major topic we cover is the SpaceX IPO, along with other hotly discussed upcoming IPOs and we wrap the episode up with "Stupid Bets"!

Please note that for this episode Gherk was unable to join due to personal matters, so Producer Ron filled in, and we've decided to hold off on answering some of the audience questions for our next episode instead.

Our episode this week kicks off with a great jingle about an upcoming tv show mentioned in today's title! We start off this episode first with the latest in Iran and what's going on with oil. We then get into what's going on with American consumers and what recent data has to say, before talking about the specific impact oil is expecting to have in the near future in Japan. We then talk about upcoming earnings this week and the financial calendar.

For our second half, we come back with our "Trading with Gammastrike" section, and hear about how Dork is crushing things! We then get into audience questions and even get to hear from Ron and his crappy mic, before pivoting to "Stupid Bets"! This and as always, so much more in this week's episode of Vol Stars!

With today's episode being recorded on Memorial Day, we wanted to start off our episode with an important message to honor those who have made the freedoms we have possible. Thank you.

Today's episode largely picks up off of where we've been the past few weeks, looking into what's new in Iran, how oil prices are impacting markets, and of course we need to touch a little on AI as well.

We also take some time this episode to get into discussion about how much everyone is feeling the "pinch" as consumers, and what this speaks to more broadly along with why there seems to be a disconnect in the data.

In the second half of the show we get into trading with Gammastrike, answering listener questions, and we get to "Stupid Bets"!

After the break, we start back with "Trading with Gammastrike", "Audience Questions", and wrap up with "Stupid Bets"!

We had a lot of fun with this episode and hope you'll enjoy it!

We come back from the break and get into "Trading with Gammastrike", answer listener questions, and conclude with "Stupid Bets"!

Make sure to check out the new commercial Producer Ron made too, he worked hard on it and needs encouragement after the verbal thrashing the gang gave him during the question section!
