At last, the moment has arrived to drop another but very important weekly podcast

#thegreatcarbonswindle
Finance gets a bad rap but I believe we hold the key to improving the global warming crisis. Embrace logic, reject Dadaism before it"s too late. I hope if you feel as strongly as I do that you will encourage others to watch and join a more informed debate

Macro Confessions from somewhere in the future. This week the camera never lies. One moment, I'm trotting out responses under cross-examination from Chris. Ray Dallio, Sure...is he the greatest hedge fund manager ever? What...Blah Blah Blah, I swear I'm gonna hit him, and then..

I decide to go freestyle, a little scat, some improvisation. You can literally see the moment when a new idea forms in my head. Be in the room as I channel absurdity to try save the planet and see me explain why my endorsement of EU carbon trading permits is now bearing fruit

This week, I'm extremely pi$$ed off with Extinction Rebellion. Just what purpose does it serve? It feels more like fin de siècle, Dadaism than a logical plan to reduce carbon emissions. It should be called the great generational swindle. Makes certain hedges look trendy??

Maybe I'll launch an investment trust. Hey! help me do it...Kids seeking to make a difference should spend their money buying closed end mutual funds designed to permanently reduce the number of available pollution permits. Stick it to the MAN, buy permits, stop the polluters...

Zero tolerance for new oil field exploration is INSANE. 6.5 billion people on the planet consume 3 barrels of oil per person per year. We consume 13. Are they to live in poverty, denied our lifestyle? Or will oil demand double before 2050?

I'm channeling the Hunt Bros, let's do a Texan Hustle. Let's corner the market for permits, drive the pollution cost higher and higher. We need to get smarter, use renewable energy to fuel oil and gas exploration. Don't ban oil, that's suicide, find lower carbon oil instead.

And NFTs, vouchers, permits. nothing is out of bounds. One day soon I'm gonna launch my very own NFT but before that day...

I've got a radical idea to enfranchise all of us. Distribute pollution NFTs to every household for free. Then start issuing fewer and fewer of them and demand that households pay for their own carbon footprint with such vouchers.

Those that pollute less will own more vouchers and accrue a valuable asset. Let's use crypto technology to spread ownership of the planet's problem, to create the love-cult 2050 with smart people solving the world's greatest problem. Only with owning the problem do you solve it

This is the most important of the pod series, and I and @writes_sweeney ask that you share this discussion with friends and family to see if we can all start a revolution. To see if you and me and Chris can make the world a smarter and better place...

Who dare refuse?

And forget inflation, forget the Fed, forget incompetence and how many proposed rate hikes before the market implodes, and forget QE cause I got trade ideas a plenty. The energy complex is positively brimming with opportunities

Let's start a cult, the #greatcarbonswindle
The push back starts tonight
Love you all but I'm going to bed
I'm not laying down any beats tonight.
