Yesterday I had Scott Osheroff back on the podcast to talk about what’s going on in financial markets and where he sees opportunities. We covered the complacency in financial markets and the complicated macro setup with the Strait of Hormuz and the tech IPOs in the pipeline. We also talked about rates heading higher, the commodities complex, and where he sees opportunities today. You can find Scott on Twitter and on Telegram.
