Podcast: Why Investors Are Running Away From Stocks
With Mark out for this weekly roundup episode of Blockworks’ podcast “On the Margin,” Mike has a special guest filling in, Blockworks’ video journalist Jack Farley.
They make sense of the recent bout of market volatility, with bond yields plummeting and tech stocks selling off hard. Mike and Jack explore market anomalies such as stay-at-home darlings like Zoom ($ZM) failing to serve as hedge against bad COVID news, and the tremendous surge in the VIX despite the fact that the S&P 500 is only a few points below its all-time-high.
They also talk yield curve flattening, inflation’s threat to the 60/40 portfolio, and why the Bitcoin’s dominance might fade over time in the crypto universe.

“On the Margin” is a two-part show. Once a week, Mike interviews industry experts, and then at the end of the week, he is joined by co-host Mark Yusko where they break down the top crypto and macro stories. Episodes go live every Wednesday and Saturday morning.
