S4 E7: Poker & the Markets - the Bad Beats are the Same

Author: Greg Weldon August 11, 2026 Duration: 34:57
Send us Fan Mail Bad beats come in Poker and in the Markets, but it is only about the MATH and the probabilities RULE over time. Markets have taken a bad beat from the constant all-in bluff shoves from DJT...but the end is near, Trump has folded after Iran and Oman sort out a deal on the Strait of Hormuz that does NOT involve the US, and thus the FOCUS of the markets will RETURN to the macro-data, which offers much more clarity, than has this debacle of a "war".

Greg Weldon hosts Money, Markets & New Age Investing, a podcast built on the idea that modern investing requires more than just financial news. It demands a framework that blends disciplined analysis with an understanding of the underlying forces-economic, mathematical, and even scientific-that drive global capital markets. The aim here is to demystify how these complex systems actually work, moving beyond surface-level commentary to explore the mechanics that make markets tick. You’ll hear detailed discussions on specific trading strategies, but always paired with the crucial component of risk management. Weldon emphasizes protecting your downside as much as identifying opportunity, arguing that true capital preservation is the foundation of growth. This isn't about quick tips; it's about developing a structured, informed approach to navigating volatility. Each episode translates vast market data and interconnections into actionable insights, aiming to level the playing field for individual investors. By integrating perspectives from business, investing, mathematics, and science, the podcast provides a unique, multi-disciplinary toolkit for anyone looking to make more deliberate decisions with their capital. Tune in for a rigorous yet accessible deep dive into the principles and tactics that define new age investing.
