About this episode

The episode discusses earnings growth, bank exposure to nonbanks, and the concept of constructive pessimism.

This week, our 3 Things are: Earnings growth. One observer describes earnings growth as “soaring.” Is that right? Bank exposure to nonbanks. Should we be worried about the linkage? Constructive pessimism. It’s present and it’s bondholder-friendly.
