This is Macro Voices with hedge fund manager Eric Townsend, the free weekly financial

podcast targeting professional finance, high net worth individuals, family offices, and

other sophisticated investors. Macro Voices is all about the brightest minds in the world

of finance and macroeconomics telling it like it is. Bullish your bearish, no holds

barred. Now here are your hosts, Eric Townsend and Patrick Sarasna.

Macro Voices episode 211 was recorded on March 18, 2020. I'm Eric Townsend. This episode

of Macro Voices is brought to you by top traders onplugged.com, a podcast dedicated to

quant and rules based investing, helping investors overcome behavioral biases, and by my own

vacation rental on the coast of Maine, which I'm repurposing as a COVID-19 safe haven for

families who want to escape city life for a few months during this crisis. What a week

in markets after the Fed's epic emergency intervention last weekend, we needed to get

a Fed policy guru on the show this week, and with bond yields backing up to the surprise

of many investors, we needed a fixed income guru to help us diagnose what's going on,

particularly with respect to whether or not the long feared phenomenon of both stocks

and bonds selling off at the same time is finally upon us. And clearly, we need an expert

on the coronavirus numbers to keep us abreast of the core driver behind all of the fireworks

in the market. There's only one man on earth who is all of those people in just one person,

and that's Bianco Research Founder Jim Bianco, who joins me as this week's feature interview

guest. We'll cover the COVID-19 projections, bond yields, monetary policy, and much more.

And be sure to stay tuned for our post-game segment, when Macro Tourist newsletter author

Kevin Muir returns to talk to us about what just happened to gold mining stocks, and

what we can expect next. I'd also like to thank everyone who's donated to Macro Voices
