A great plug for a great program! I listen after work in the car every night on bloomberg1010 in nj. & if you can't get enough of Tom, since VIX hit 20 he's been on in the morning around 8:20-8:50am. Wish some of the credit stuff would die down so we can hear more of the yearly topic, which is food, series on rice & other pricing was really insightful.

Barry, thanks for reminding everyone of the availability of this program. It makes listening to Bloomberg worthwhile. Most of the rest of what they broadcast is noise, but Tom Keane's program tries (and generally succeeds) in fitting together the puzzle which is modern economics. Like the previous posters, I could not recommend this program more.

Re: markets,
What was the problem again?
Posted by: s0mebody | Sep 30, 2008 3:49:55 PM
Required listening, particularly if you really want to understand how deep and pervasive this crisis really is.
Posted by: Wrath of Doom | Sep 30, 2008 3:56:39 PM
Well, I am just wondering here at the end of September about really "the big picture"...that is are we going to have deflation, what with terrible and getting worse auto sales, housing continuing to sink, increasing unemployment, yada, yada, yada...or will the government actually be able to push enough money into the system to create inflation. Everything I read says we are in a deflationary cycle that can't be stopped, but the business media, and our government seems hell bent on throwing money at this as fast as we can raise the debt ceiling...
I think deflation wins, but all the boys in power are hell bent on becoming clones of Arthur Burns...

that's great. thanks. it's going to be hard to prosecute some slob for insider trading when the whole government is sytematically manipulating the market to the tune of billions and billions. As Nassim Taleb points out much pricing of derivatives is just fantasy. Now the government seems to have bought into this fantasy world.

Thanks, I have been hoping you would recommend a podcast!
Posted by: Susan | Sep 30, 2008 8:40:51 PM
cloudy: Just got around to reading Taleb's book. It's eerie how well he understood what was going to happen.
Barry: Thanks for the podcast. I'm always looking for something to listen to in the car on my way to work.

Just one more podcast worth mentioning (which Barry is schedule to be guest again next week by the way):
The Disciplined Investor
and iTunes/Zune
Posted by: Andrew Horowitz | Sep 30, 2008 11:34:24 PM
Barry - come on, man. Of course, I knew it was up 466. I was just using dramatic effect to illustrate the histrionics that have been attached to the bailout plan and its legislative imperative. I am very worried that tomorrow night's Senate vote will not only impair Obama's ability to govern as President by saddling him with a huge budget problem, but maybe cost the Democrats a few Senate seats and even open the door for McCain.

This show is the single best financial show in the media. Tom Keene always has on guests who are very relevant to current market topics. I dont know Mr Keene's background but he truly has a grasp of the nuances of the economy and the markets.
In New york it is on at 500PM on Bloomberg radio 1130 AM
