Before we get going, here's the bit where I remind you that nothing we discussed should be considered as investment advice.

This conversation is for informational and hopefully entertainment purposes only.

So while we hope you find

it both informative and entertaining, please do your own research or speak to a financial advisor

before putting a dime of your money into these crazy markets. You're about to listen to a very

special preview edition of the Grant Williams podcast

featuring my very special guest, Danielle D. Martino Booth of Quill Research.

Danielle is a name who I'm sure you'll be familiar with, and as always, there is plenty to talk about

from economic data to midterm elections, to the Fed, the Treasury and the Dollar.

All kinds of subjects came

under that in what was a hugely enjoyable conversation. Every episode of the Grant

Williams podcast, including the end game, the super terrific happy hour, the narrative game,

this week in Doom, chaos theory, shifts happen, and the 100 year pivot is available to

copper and civil tier subscribers at my website, grant-dash-williams.com. Copper-tier subscribers get access to all the podcasts while members of the Silver-tier get both the podcasts and my monthly news, that are things that make you go home. So if you enjoy what we're here on the show and you'd like more high-quality content like it, then please make your way over to grant-dash- grant dash Williams.com and join our exciting community today. And now on with the show.

Not much as change either, so yeah. It's still as baffling as ever. But look, there are so many places

we can start. We can talk about inflation. Obviously, we're going to talk about the Fed.

We can talk about Iran and oil prices and energy, but I want to start somewhere a little

off the wall, and that is the University of Michigan conference numbers, which came out

a little while ago.
