Ep.392 Sammi Chaos

DoubleLine Portfolio Managers Jeff Mayberry and Samuel Lau cover a positive Aug. 12-16 week for equities (0:49), fixed income (2:37) and commodities (5:27), supported by tame inflation readings (6:38) for July and surprising strength in retail sales (8:47). The macro picture and the latest Fedspeak, add up, they reason, to rate cutting, beginning at the Sept. 18 meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee, but not at an aggressive pace. Looking ahead to Aug. 19-23 (15:25), Jeff and Sam will be especially on the lookout for any policy nuances in Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole retreat speech on Friday. Further out, they are keen to see the next labor market readings ahead of next month’s FOMC meeting.

Rate Cuts Still on Track But Perhaps Not So Aggressive (E178)

DoubleLine Portfolio Managers Jeff Mayberry and Samuel Lau cover an Aug. 19-23 week that brought gains for stocks (0:52) and a broad rally in fixed income (2:11) as well as a commodities market (5:15) that Friday ratified accommodative guidance from Fed Chair Jerome Powell in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, symposium speech. The week’s macro prints (7:52), notwithstanding surprising strength in new home sales, likewise left intact expectations of cuts to the federal funds rate, with futures markets pricing in four quarter-point moves over the remainder of 2024, starting at the Sept. 18 meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee. The week of Aug. 26-30 holds little (16:49) in the way of big market movers in the scheduled macro releases. Among the reports on Jeff and Sam’s radar are durable goods orders (Monday) and PCE and University of Michigan consumer inflation expectations survey (Friday).

Stocks, Bonds, Commodities All Aboard on Rate Cuts (E179)

DoubleLine Portfolio Managers Jeffrey Mayberry and Samuel Lau welcome back the NFL and then tackle a rough Sept. 2-6 run for the markets, including lots of red across equities (1:09); fixed income (3:04); and commodities (4:39), with even gold feeling the squeeze. Over in Macro Land (6:03), Jeff and Sam review the prints impacting the market volatility, including ISM manufacturing and labor force reports, and what those numbers might mean for potential Fed moves at September’s FOMC meeting. As their Topic of the Week (12:50), they take a look at the possible de-inversion of the long-inverted U.S. Treasury yield curve as represented by the differential of the two- and 10-year Treasury yields (“2s10s”).* Jeff and Sam look at the six previous recession periods dating back to 1980 and how the 2s10s de-inversion fits into those recessions’ timelines. Next week (23:58), Jeff and Sam will be looking at the last batch of inflation and other metrics before the Fed convenes its FOMC meeting. This episode was recorded Sept. 6, 2024, before market close.

Rough Market Week Amid (Another) Emerging Recession Signal (E181)

DoubleLine Portfolio Managers Jeff Mayberry and Samuel Lau cover the week of Sept. 9-13, 2024, which saw positive performances for stocks (0:30); fixed income (2:00), including a recessionary signal in the form of a Treasury yield curve de-inversion; and commodities (4:30). Topping the week’s macro news (5:35) were the August CPI and PPI reports. For their Topic of the Week (10:44), Jeff and Sam discuss the two-year Treasury as a leading indicator and the three-month T-bill as a coincident indicator of the federal funds target rate. Looking ahead (18:06) to the week of Sept. 16-20, apart from the FOMC meeting and Jerome Powell news conference on Wednesday, Jeff and Sam will be watching for retail sales on Tuesday as well as jobless claims and the Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index, both on Thursday.

The Essentials of Finance and Accounting for Nonfinancial Managers

Despite the best intentions and even ideas, what entrepreneurs, innovators, and managers hope for when pursuing entrepreneurial or innovation strategies does not always materialize. At this point, we can start to understand entrepreneurship as entopic and its consequences for the firm. Too much entrepreneurship focused on innovation that is too explorative risks exhausting resources and rendering the firm into a state of disorder. This is entrepreneurial entropy, and it serves as a cautionary note about why it is so important to manage entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurial entropy: What can entrepreneurs, innovators, and managers learn from physics

In this podcast I look at how innovation is fundamental to how businesses create value—for our markets, consumers, stakeholders, and shareholders. Innovation is the lifeblood of business, and I take the view that "chance favours the prepared mind" so that innovation occurs strategically to drive profitable growth.

EVERY MANAGER INTERACTION IS A MAKE-OR-BREAK MOMENT

Boston Beer's CPO reveals why those quick hallway chats and casual feedback sessions matter more than you think.

Carolyn shares how she's transforming manager-employee interactions at the makers of Sam Adams, Truly, and Twisted Tea. Why? Because she's tired of seeing promotions announced via text and performance reviews done in airport lounges.

Learn how The Boston Beer Company is:
- Training managers to nail the moments that matter
- Replacing outdated retention strategies with real engagement
- Moving talent across the business (not just up)
- Managing burnout before it starts

Episode 101 — Carolyn O'Boyle — The Boston Beer Company

Rose Fass, founder of Fass Forward Consulting Group and former CTO at Xerox, joins Dan Pontefract on Leadership NOW to discuss why organizations repeatedly overlook the crucial layer of middle management.

Rose reveals the critical role of the "messy middle" in translating strategy into execution and why senior leaders must meaningfully engage rather than ignore these vital managers. She explains how genuine, unscripted conversations—not PowerPoint decks—lead to successful transformation, and underscores why wisdom and innovation have no age limit.

It's a powerful conversation that challenges the status quo about middle managers and the real nature of leadership.
