Episode 137: The economic data is manipulated and lagging and vastly different than reality. Inflation is lower but prices are still higher. Jobs data were just revised lower demonstrating millions of jobs reported are in fact fake. GDP is bloated by massive government spending that is disguising private sector hardship. Do we have real growth? Is unemployment higher than reported? Is CPI underreporting inflation? We have a BIFURCATED Economy! Gary Brode, founder of Deep Knowledge Investing and hedge fund manager turned to the good side to help us get better returns, takes a deep dive on macro, markets, and investing as we discuss the disparity between the data and what is really going on and where there are investing opportunities.

Episode 132: Welcome to the PERFECT STORM in the Real Estate Market! Today we go beyond the headlines and discuss what is really going on in the real estate markets with Melody Wright, a "boots to the ground" researcher, strategist, writer, and GFC 1 survivor. We take a deep dive on the disparity between the "news" and economic data versus the REALITY of the real estate market with shadow inventory, massive vacancies, creative financing, mortgage delinquencies, potential fraud, home prices, home builders, and more. The most affordable real estate market may get "cheaper" faster than you think into next year as real estate market is about to get "disorderly." Real estate is very slow moving and regional so we discuss the different regions Melody has visited and seen firsthand as well as a potential time line for the next series of events and catalysts. Are sales really down with prices up and, if so, where? Where are existing home prices headed if new home prices are lower? It is always about SUPPLY & DEMAND.
