On today’s show, we bring back a guest by popular demand Mr. Luke Gromen. Luke is the founder of the research firm Forest for the Trees. It’s a macro research firm that caters to institutional and private investors.
In our previous conversation with Luke at the beginning of 2018, we talked about China and its interactions in the oil market. On today’s show, we pick up on some of those ideas and much more. We talk stocks, we talk bonds, we talk currencies and commodities. I therefore think you’re really going to enjoy this big picture conversation and it’s all relevant to where the market is today.
