88.3 PMIs: The Economy's Forward Looking Indicators ———Ep 88.3 Summary———A review of US, Chinese and global purchasing manager indices for manufacturing and services shows just a few too many "not great" readings.

84.2 Quantitative Easing: A False God———Ep 84.2 Summary———How is it possible 14 years of data shows the Federal Reserve FLAILING ABOUT trying to raise or lower bond yields with MASSIVE purchases of securities via quantitative easing?
