  • Collateral Damage of Selling US Treasuries

    Collateral Damage of Selling US Treasuries
    2026/02/20
    In this episode of Stock Talk, Aman breaks down the growing global conversation around selling US Treasuries — and why it's not as straightforward as it sounds. With countries like China reducing their holdings and Danish pension funds walking away, the idea of pushing back on US dollar-based assets is gaining momentum. But what happens if everyone sells at once? Aman maps out the ripple effects and a global contagion that would hit every economy — not just America's. He explores why a slow, methodical approach to repatriating capital makes more sense than a sudden sell-off, shares how he's positioning his own portfolio, and explains why patience and global coordination will be essential to navigating this uncertain era.

  • The Last Guardrail To Tame A Mad King

    The Last Guardrail To Tame A Mad King
    2026/01/29
    Markets hit record highs while political chaos threatens the foundation of US investment stability. In this episode, Aman explores the one remaining guardrail that could actually check unchecked power: the financial markets themselves. Discover why traditional political checks and balances are failing, and why the real leverage lies not in boycotts or political action, but in something far more powerful—strategically impairing corporate growth. Learn how incremental reductions in purchases, treasury rollovers, and middle-power coordination could force meaningful change when nothing else can. This isn't your typical market analysis. It's a frank discussion about protecting your wealth in an era where political stability, rule of law, and predictable business environments—the pillars that made US assets the world's default investment—are being systematically dismantled. If you're wondering how to invest when the rules are changing, this episode offers actionable insights for navigating the cringe.

  • Why We Really Need Central Bank Independence

    Why We Really Need Central Bank Independence
    2026/01/13
    I break down why independent central banks are the backbone of stable, functioning economies—and what's at stake when that independence is threatened. Recent moves to politicize the Federal Reserve have sparked urgent questions about the future of monetary policy, inflation control, and market stability. I explain the dual mandate of central banks, how they provide crucial guardrails against human greed and emotional decision-making, and why stability in interest rate policy is essential for businesses and investors alike. Looking at cautionary examples from Turkey, Argentina, and Hungary, I reveal what happens when central banks lose their independence. With markets showing unprecedented apathy to these foundational threats, I argue this isn't a distant concern—it's affecting your investment decisions right now. Essential for anyone serious about protecting their wealth in an increasingly uncertain economic landscape.

  • AI: Still Not Ready For Prime Time

    AI: Still Not Ready For Prime Time
    2025/10/14
    Aman revisits the state of artificial intelligence one year after his first deep dive. He explores how far AI has come—and how far it still has to go. From the clunky, inconsistent tools of early ChatGPT to today’s massive corporate investments and sky-high valuations, Aman examines whether the hype is justified or if we’re seeing echoes of the late-’90s dot-com bubble. He breaks down AI’s real capabilities—pattern matching and first-level thinking—while warning that it still struggles with creativity, context, and second-level critical analysis. Through the lens of investing, he questions whether companies can sustain returns amid mounting costs, overinvestment, and social impacts like job displacement. Insightful, skeptical, and forward-looking, this episode challenges investors and thinkers alike to separate genuine innovation from speculative frenzy.

  • Stock Talk-New Normals of Investing, Business and Trade

    Stock Talk-New Normals of Investing, Business and Trade
    2025/10/01
    In this episode of Stock Talk, Aman dives into what he calls the new era of cringe investing. Core principles that once guided smart capital allocation—political stability, rule of law, free markets—are being challenged, distorted, and increasingly normalized in ways that should unsettle investors. Aman explores how business leaders, Wall Street, and even the media are rationalizing behaviors that undermine capitalism: CEOs bending the knee to political pressure, tariffs reframed as “not so bad,” and markets shrugging off deteriorating fundamentals while hitting record highs. Through examples ranging from podcast discussions with JP Morgan’s Michael Cembalest to Tim Cook’s golden tribute and Nvidia’s quiet lobbying, Aman illustrates how companies and investors are adapting to a warped landscape. The result? Rising markets, profitable portfolios—and an uncomfortable feeling that wealth creation is being replaced by survival tactics. Listen in to understand why investing feels increasingly cringe.
