Bonds, Junk Bonds


The Chief and Maddie kick off the show discussing Chicago Universities and their resistance against the recent push from students and faculty to allow the unionization of non-tenure-track professors. The Chief asks, what are students actually paying for? Maddie’s not content with the answer. Kevin Riordan, Kevin O’neill, and Kathy Dervin join in for a discussion of bonds and dividends. Stocks and Jocks friend Wolf Richter calls in at the top of the second hour to discuss his most recent article on wolfstreet.com on junk bonds.
