Adam Taggart | Thoughtful Money, Released on 10/29/24

We find ourselves in a time of transition, one that may increasingly be later described as upheaval. In a week, we’ll have a new US President, which will bring change both to the US and to geopolitics. We already have a new interest rate regime as the world’s major central banks have pivoted back to cutting rates. And we may be seeing the start of a new era in bond yields, which have been marching higher despite the wishes of the central planners. If this continues as a secular trend, this higher cost of debt could prove destabilizing the world’s hundreds of $trillions in debt and entitlement programs. To find out where this all is likely headed, and what investors should be tracking most we’re fortunate to welcome Luke Gromen, founder of macro research firm FFTT, LLC, back to the program.

Luke Gromen is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati and received his MBA from Case Western Reserve University. He earned the CFA designation in 2003. Luke provides strategic consulting services for corporate executives and is the founder of The Forest For The Trees, LLC, a macro/thematic research firm catering to institutions and individuals.

Adam Taggart is the Founder of  Thoughtful Money. He is also Co-Founder and former President of Peak Prosperity. Adam is an experienced Silicon Valley internet executive and Stanford MBA. Prior to partnering with Chris Martenson (Adam was General Manager of our earlier site, ChrisMartenson.com), he was a Vice President at Yahoo!, a company he served for nine years. Before that, he did the ‘startup thing’ (mySimon.com, sold to CNET in 2001). As a fresh-faced graduate from Brown University in the early 1990s, Adam got a first-hand look at all that was broken with Wall Street as an investment banking analyst for Merrill Lynch. Most importantly, he’s a devoted husband and dad.
