Show Notes
Derek Moore and Jay Pestrichelli, CEO of ZEGA Financial, discuss Fed governor Waller (not Christopher Walkin) hinting the Fed should be in no rush to cut interest rates. Plus, we haven't seen this many record stock market highs since Q1 of 2013. So, what does that mean if anything? Examining VVIX and VIX which both are really quiet and low right now. Growth has outperformed value by quite a bit, but do some relative value charts hint value may have its time in the sun? Later, corporate profit margins continue to be strong despite many saying they must revert to the mean. Finally, no Cocoa is not worth more than gold per ounce despite what the internet says.
