No Cut, No Exit: Private Credit, Frozen Housing & Powell Holding the Line
About this episode
The episode discusses the current economic landscape, focusing on private credit issues, housing affordability, and the Federal Reserve's stance under Jerome Powell.
Jerome Powell hit pause, but the economy definitely didn’t. In Episode 327, Chris and Saied break down a Fed that still looks stubbornly out of step with reality, a private credit market flashing louder warning signs than most of Wall Street wants to admit, and fresh housing data that makes the affordability crisis impossible to spin away. From rising default rates and redemption freezes in private credit to oil shock risk, sticky inflation, AI-driven job disruption, and a market still clinging to rate-cut fantasies, this episode is a sharp, funny, and brutally honest look at an economy being propped up by debt, narrative, and hope. It sounds grim because it is grim, but as always, THS is less about panic and more about spotting where the next real opportunity gets created in the wreckage. 💥 Have you left your "honest ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️" review?
