Ep. 116: Political Volatility 32:27

8d ago32:27

32:27

Perhaps a little less coffee would be in order. The Inflation Guy in this episode wanders through several topics, including the Biden Administration's proposal for national rent control, the eviction moratorium, different measures of rent inflation, market volatility and where to hide for the next 110 days until the US election. Focus, man, focus. …

Ep. 115: This Month's CPI Report - Closer to What We Want 23:23

16d ago23:23

23:23

It's that time again, and even though the punditry is now fixated more on the Unemployment Report than the inflation reports, the Inflation Guy doesn't have the trademark or the expertise to be The Unemployment Guy so this podcast is sticking to its knitting. This month's CPI report was the best we have seen in some time, and largely for the right …

Ep. 114: Why Interest Rates Don't Matter for Inflation 19:15

30d ago19:15

19:15

One of the absolute rock-solid articles of faith in the economics community is the proposition that increasing interest rates causes inflation to decline. If you want to slow inflation by a lot, you need to increase interest rates a lot. There is no question that increasing interest rates slows economic growth, and hurts people by doing so. The onl…

Ep. 113: Real-World Crypto Escapades, Concerns, Threats, and Promises 58:08

1M ago58:08

58:08

On this episode of Cents and Sensibility, the Inflation Guy is blessed with not one but two outstanding guests, who help him unravel the significance of a recent client's problem: after selling his bitcoin on an exchange, the exchange made it difficult (so far, impossible) to transfer the proceeds back to his bank. As the Inflation Guy notes, "that…

Ep. 112: This Month's CPI Report - A Very 'Goods' Thing 23:37

1M ago23:37

23:37

This month's CPI was a good number - happy news! But if the Inflation Guy was going to design a 'good number' from scratch, he wouldn't make it look like this. He would start at the other end. What does that mean? Take a listen, and find out why this is a good report and a 'goods' report, but maybe not a great report. NOTES Blog for this month’s CP…

Ep. 111: Until the Job is Almost Done 23:05

2M ago23:05

23:05

At the 2023 Fed conference at Jackson Hole, Chairman Powell promised that the Fed would keep fighting inflation "until the job is done." Is the job done? The Inflation Guy thinks the signs suggest inflation is converging on a higher level than the Fed desires. Will the Fed really keep after it? Listen and find out what the Inflation Guy thinks. NOT…

Ep. 110: This Month's CPI Report - 'As Expected' Doesn't Mean 'All Clear' 25:34

2M ago25:34

25:34

The economists were mostly on-target with today's CPI report, at least with the headline and core figures. But that doesn't mean that there was nothing going on underneath the surface. Below the big headlines, some things are getting better and some things...aren't. What does it all mean, and does the Fed have some cover to cut rates? Listen to thi…

Ep. 109: Famous Last Words 19:37

3M ago19:37

19:37

"They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance!" - General John Sedgewick, Union, US Civil War, moments before he was struck by a bullet in the eye. The tradition of 'famous last words' is alive and well, especially at the Federal Reserve and Treasury. From Bernanke saying the subprime crisis would be contained, to Yellen and Powell describing inf…

Ep. 108: Revisiting Velocity - Myths and Reality 36:06

3M ago36:06

36:06

There are several pernicious myths about the velocity of money that seem to never die. "Friedman said velocity is stable." "Velocity is just a plug number, so it is random." "Velocity is permanently impaired and only declines over time." These drive the Inflation Guy bananas, and from time to time he feels the need to talk about velocity. In this e…

Ep. 107: Those Ten Dangerous Words 26:12

3M ago26:12

26:12

We don't know if the origin of the 'ten most dangerous words in the English language' was Ronald Reagan, or if the story predates him. But those words, "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help you," are the theme to today's podcast. The Inflation Guy interprets some recent news stories, but ties it all together with a crucial observation abou…

Ep. 106: This Month's CPI Report - A Potential Pony Situation 23:49

On this month's CPI report, the Inflation Guy addresses yet another high-side surprise and discusses the details, along with how this fits into the continuing narrative. Curious about how this concerns ponies? You'll have to listen to the episode! NOTES Blog for this month’s CPI: Inflation Guy’s CPI Summary (March 2024) To Subscribe to Quarterly In…

Ep. 105: Inflation as Foreign Exchange, or How People Screwed Up Housing Forecasts 32:13

4M ago32:13

32:13

Okay, buckle up because the Inflation Guy here is going to cover some big-time concepts. Wayyyy back in 2003, some guys named Jarrow and Yildirim explained how inflation acts just like foreign exchange, except not foreign and not on an exchange. No, no, stay with me here. Turns out they were right, and a lot of what is happening today - and the mis…

Ep. 104: Inflation Snippets 29:20

4M ago29:20

29:20

Every once in a while, it is a good rigor to take all of those sticky notes that festoon your desk and put them into one, organized, document. At least, that's what the Inflation Guy tells himself. On the other hand, they say 'a clean desk means someone else is in charge.' Still, it was getting to be a fire hazard. In this episode, the Inflation Gu…

Ep. 103: This Month's CPI Report - Sticky Too Soon 26:16

5M ago26:16

26:16

Another month, another above-consensus CPI print. The Inflation Guy tears into the data like a feral cat, ripping away the fatty bits to get at the meaty part. Okay, maybe that was too graphic. Anyway, this cat points to several signs in this month's inflation report that inflation is starting to get 'sticky' at a higher level than we'd like it to,…

Ep. 102: Gold and Crypto - Are Either, or Both, Real? 32:30

5M ago32:30

32:30

Both gold and crypto are occasionally put forth by promoters as having inflation-hedging qualities. Which of these has a better claim? Or are they both 'real assets' that can help you defend your money? Now that mutual funds and ETFs are launching seemingly weekly to hold BTC and other forms of crypto, 'democratizing access' to this 'asset class,' …

Ep. 101: Live Long and Prosper with Inflation-Linked Annuities 37:30

5M ago37:30

37:30

This somewhat longer episode has a little bit of potpourri at the beginning, as the Inflation Guy covers the OER-Primary Rents divergence, the decline of Reverse RP balances, and the effect of AI on inflation...but the meat of the podcast is a discussion about a product (which a listener sent to the Inflation Guy) that resembles an inflation-linked…

Ep. 100: Looking Back and Looking Forward 23:30

5M ago23:30

23:30

When your grandpa turns 100, you're going to hear stories. It just goes with the territory. When a podcast has its 100th episode, same deal. Grandpa Inflation Guy actually manages to keep the stories to a minimum, while reporting on a recent conversation he has had about a development in the health care inflation space and giving some optimistic re…

Ep. 99: This Month’s CPI Report - UGH! 20:19

5M ago20:19

20:19

Welllll...so much for the idea that, since the 3-month average of CPI was down at 1.90%, the Fed could ease in March! This month's inflation print was, to use a technical term, broadly icky. The Inflation Guy tells you why. NOTES Podcast callback: Ep. 98: Will You Be Able to Trade Medical Care Inflation Soon? Blog Post: Inflation Guy’s CPI Summary …

Ep. 98: Will You Be Able to Trade Medical Care Inflation Soon? 24:04

6M ago24:04

24:04

The Inflation Guy for a long time has had a "bee in his bonnet" (seriously, who uses this phrase? Or owns a bonnet?) about the need for more tools to trade inflation and, especially, subcomponents of inflation like medical care. In this episode, after giving a quick preview of next week's CPI report he turns to a discussion of IMX, a new futures ex…

Ep. 97: Inflation and Reinsurance - a Better Way 29:46

6M ago29:46

29:46

The Inflation Guy sometimes gets distracted by shiny things. Today, he was distracted by an article sent from a listener, detailing comments from the CFO of Travelers Insurance about the increased reinsurance the company is employing as a hedge against inflation risks to its property and casualty (P&C) businesses. This is an illuminating comment, s…

Ep. 96: Money Illusion - What it is and Why it Matters 25:22

6M ago25:22

25:22

"Money Illusion" sounds like the sort of thing your economics teacher droned on and on about, causing you to yearn for a nice nap during class. But is it a real thing? And if it is...why does it matter? In this episode, the Inflation Guy explains money illusion, presenting some of the evidence that it is (at least some of the time) a real phenomeno…

Ep. 95: 2024 Call to Action 40:26

6M ago40:26

40:26

In this (longer than normal) episode, the Inflation Guy talks about the outlook for inflation - which, admittedly, he did last week with the CPI Summary episode but in this case he delves into more of the drivers of his 2024 and 2025 expectations - and for several asset markets. He frames the question as a balance of the risks and makes concrete su…

Ep. 94: This Month’s CPI Report - New Year, New Ewww 24:40

7M ago24:40

24:40

It's 2024, a fresh start to what is surely going to prove to be a golden year and the end to history! The SEC has approved bitcoin ETFs, the Fed is dovish and achieved a perfect landing, rates have come down a ton, and everything is beautiful. At least, as long as inflation really does collapse immediately to 2%, as the consensus seems to suggest. …

Ep. 93: This Month’s CPI Report - Sorry I Could Not Travel Both 25:14

8M ago25:14

25:14

It's the monthly CPI report! In this podcast, the Inflation Guy discusses today's economic data and highlights why the market's expectations for substantial easing in 2024 sets up a difficult path forward. He discusses several ways that inflation could get back to target, and then what needs to happen with policy to make that happen. Hint: it isn't…

Ep. 92: Safe Withdrawal Rates - Accounting for Inflation 35:54

8M ago35:54

35:54

The notion of a 'safe withdrawal rate,' being a real amount that can be taken out of savings in retirement each year without a significant risk of running out of money in some window of time, goes back to a 1994 paper by Bengen which enshrined the "4-percent rule." In this podcast, the Inflation Guy discusses improvements to that rule - including s…
