#802: The Banks Are Fleecing You with Mel Mattison
Mel Mattison joins Marty to unpack October's market selloff and why it may be the best buying opportunity since the Iran war drawdown. They cover rising Treasury yields, fiscal dominance, and why Kevin Warsh and the Fed can't hike without bankrupting the government. Mel explains why the AI trade isn't AI, why compute and semiconductors win regardless of which model leads, and how tokenization, stablecoins, and agentic payments threaten the banking float model. Plus Social Security, Medicare, the midterms, and ending the Iran war.
