In this episode of the Market Misfits Podcast, hosts Joe and Smiddy are joined by the legendary “Wall Street Jesus,” Jay, to break down the most pressing themes in the market.
The crew dives headfirst into the chaotic “stock picker’s market,” where low-priced AI power and crypto-treasury plays like NBIS, BE, and HUT are exploding. But is this a sign of a healthy rotation or the final blow-off top before a major correction?
They tackle the million-dollar question on everyone’s mind: the upcoming Fed decision. Should they cut? What happens to a market at all-time highs when economic data is softening? Jay provides a masterclass on market microstructure, explaining the critical divergence between “systematic” and “discretionary” fund positioning and why it’s preventing a major meltdown—for now.
The conversation takes a deep, wonky dive into the terrifyingly large short position in the VIX, the potential for a historic volatility explosion, and why the next market crash could be breathtakingly fast thanks to levered ETFs and options.
Plus, the group shares war stories from the trenches, including Smiddy’s brutal year with client accounts and the dark side of crypto trading.
