Terrorism Across Borders
November 20, 2015
The weekly Friday circus with Kathy Dervin and Kevin Riordan keeps it uncharacteristically professional through the first hour discussing the markets, technology advances, and what defines Kevin’s trading style. (Well almost professional. There was some talk of porn, too.) The show’s friend Wayne Madsen, investigative reporter and conspiracy theorist, joins for the second hour to discuss the effects of past foreign policy on the recent actions of ISIS and the controversy over whether the US should be letting Syrian refugees across the border.

Jim Higdon joins the show with the Chief and Kathy Dervin to talk all things Kentucky, the legal and not so legal trade of marijuana in Kentucky and beyond, and the hot topics influencing the markets this week. With the retail sales numbers released today, the Chief asks the crew why people just aren’t buying this year. John Neal weighs in at the start of the show with his stock of the day.
How to Gamble on Professional Sports

At the top of the show the Chief discusses the latest productivity numbers and what Jim Paulsen is calling an “unexpected recession,” that may be looming on our doorstep. Kathy and Kevin chime in later in the hour for a lively debate over the benefits and problems of the ride sharing company Uber. In the second hour Brian Tuohy returns to Stocks and Jocks to discuss his new book, A Season in the Absyss: Sports Gambling vs the NFL’s Integrity. Brian gives us the low down on how sports gambling occurs and what leagues like the NFL are doing to deter or promote it. As the show wraps up we put Stocks and Jocks rookie, Jeremy, to the test and discuss the continued problems of Volkswagen and the production of diesel vehicles.

In the last half hour the Chief and John Neal talk about what stocks are lookin’ good and how the internet has changed trading.
