SI103: FED's Powell, Dave Portnoy and the potential Bond market bubble ft. Robert Carver

Top Traders Unplugged - A podcast by Niels Kaastrup-Larsen

Categories:

Rob Carver returns to the show this week to discuss Jerome Powell’s comments at Jackson Hole, the potential Bond market bubble that very few are talking about, the sweet-spot for Trend Following fund AUMs, Dave Portnoy’s influence on Robinhood traders, Tom Basso’s recent interview with Meb Faber, and the continual need to improve your successful trading strategies. Questions we answer this week include: Do you know of any Trend Following funds who use the Black-Litterman model of asset allocation? Is it possible to have too much of an allocation to Trend Following strategies? If you would like to leave us a voicemail to play on the show, you can do so here.
