    Take Afroman Seriously, Not Elon Musk

    Five minutes before Trump announced a halt to Iran airstrikes, a trader reportedly bought $1.5 billion in S&P 500 futures and sold $200 million in oil futures. The orders were four to six times larger than anything else in the market at that moment. Huh. Isn't that interesting? Also: Afroman won his defamation trial against Ohio police officers. Ricky and Malcolm discuss the economic lessons from the trial. Malcolm and Ricky also talk about: - Crypto-backed mortgages. What could go wrong? - Why Pokemon card collectors don't trust the stock market - Malcolm's latest stock purchase, Okta. - The scrum that left airport security workers without paychecks. - Why More Americans are starting businesses — and the pickleball bubble Contact us: thistimepod@gmail.com Advertising: advertising@airwavemedia.com Hosts: Malcolm Ethridge, Ricky Mulvey Engineer: Tim Sparks Learn more about your ad choices.
