Powell was in Jackson Hole last week and today we discuss some Jackson Hole Revelation on the future of the market and interest. We also talk the current election and all of the ins and outs of election strategy. Then, we veer into how social media is changing elections and how it feels like people, especially comedians, are holding back more than they used to because of cancel culture. We reflected on how trends, whether in culture or finance, often swing to extremes before eventually balancing out. 

Today we discuss... 

• How neither major party is focusing on policy; Trump's policies are somewhat known, but Harris has been silent.
• The current strategy of staying silent and letting the press handle the narrative reflects a shift in political tactics.
• There is concern about electing a candidate without clear policy positions or public discourse.
• Social media has heightened expectations for political figures to be vocal and transparent.
• Criticisms of Harris include skepticism about her ability to change policies while already in office.
• Historical examples, such as Johnson and Kennedy, show that VPs may have differing policies from Presidents.
• The pendulum of cultural and political trends often swings from one extreme to the other, influencing market behavior.
• Social media and current cultural dynamics affect how comedy and political commentary are received.
• The market trends, such as real estate prices, are influenced by broader economic conditions and cultural shifts.
• Reversion to the mean is a concept where extreme market movements often correct back to an equilibrium.
• Understanding financial trends and market cycles can help in making informed investment decisions.
• What Powell discussed at Jackson Hole.
