Chronicling Calamity with Bethany McLean | On The Tape Investing Podcast

[@KGold53]

Bethany is simply brilliant. This interview exhibits her intellect and ability to call balls and strikes in the worlds of finance, business, politics, and society. She’s also honest to a fault. More journalists and business writers should be like her.

[@champstar9669]

Anyone who believes and quotes gov't propaganda like "official statistics" from the 1984 style Ministry of Truth is a sheeple -- FAR from brilliant. 🐑

[@jays9870]

Appreciate you guys having Bethany on. It is great to have someone ready, willing and able to make points that others are afraid or uncomfortable to discuss. Not only have we broken confidence and trust, but the divide that has been created is jeopardizing any semblance of balance we have. Great interview.

Dan said “I mean ya know what I mean?” approx 27x this ep, fyi. I defended him once but he seems to be blissfully unaware of the issue despite all the negative feedback. My advice to him is to get screened for ADHD immediately. A stimulant medication like Adderall could possibly enable him to slow down and avoid interrupting others and running on and on with the run-ons. It’s hard for those who don’t have ADHD to understand that seemingly rude, inconsiderate behavior such as talking over others or frequently being late for appointments, are the result of neuroanatomical underdevelopment in the executive functions. They can be managed through meds and increased accountability. But that requires an awareness of the nature of the problem. (Most ADHDers feel every bit as shitty about their behavior as others would like them to feel, but that doesn’t fix the issue because it’s not a matter of willpower/responsibility/ethics.) 🙏

Listening to Bethany discuss complex issues is always impressive. Her intelligence and insight is much appreciated and I look forward to reading her book. Great job, Danny and Dan, as usual!

[@ObviousArtists]

Love Beth! Love the Enron doc too! Will check out the book--hopefully on Audible!

[@nestorpapachristos925]

i don't always leave comments guys (Dan, Dan and Joe..) but i always watch. thanks for your hard work and insights. Bethany was fantastic. !!

[@MrOracle01]

Thanks, Dan for showing up every day, and no Thanks for singing the same TUNE for a year and a half period I have been following you. Bethany tried to put some sense into Dan regarding Satya ( CEO of MSFT) and Dan could not take it and as usual, started doing his usual thing- interrupting without any sense.

[@LindaHarmel]

I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever,hoping to retire next year.. Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life

[@x0cat711]

That's awesome!!! I know nothing about investment and I'm keen on getting started. What are the strategies?

[@tryleraaron9244]

I'll advise you to work with a financial advisor.....Building a good investment portfolio is more complex so I would recommend you seek Fergus Waylen's support. This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long/short-term goals and financial dreams

[@arktom7335]

Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing him been mentioned here also Didn't know he has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, i'm in my fifth trade with him and it has been super

[@HLO-iy2bp]

YES!!! That's exactly his name (Fergus Waylen) so many people have recommended highly about him and am just starting with him from Brisbane Australia

[@ivar766]

I don't want to put a figure to how much i've made doing that but let's just say it's more than enough to make trading worthwhile. And when i say worthwhile, i mean it.

[@michaelsullivan7011]

Just because Dan doesnt want to pay for Microsoft products doesnt mean Microsoft will collapse....Dan tries to present himself as a tech expert but is pretty ignorant.....nobody cares about Dans lack of tech knowledge

[@knomatik]

Thank you for saying a President shouldn't be given so much credit either way for the economy. We accept that the FED policy works with long and variable lags but we expect Presidential policy to be immediate. It's a dissonance I'm surprised higher level financial thinkers don't catch more often.

[@michaelsullivan7011]

Dan still doesnt know how to interview a guest....constantly talking over guests spouting his alleged knowledge...pretty much insufferable....and Dan continues to bash Elon Musk....like Elon took his lunch money or something

[@MrToastedtoad]

Hey guys- Great job figuring out Tesla...

[@jamesmoran2326]

Now Dan is taking a victory lap on the current weakness in TSLA 🤣 Look how emotional he gets from completely missing the boat on NVDA and MSFT 🤡

[@NSG1323]

Thank you!

[@edk-o6q]

Wow guys! Great job on Tesla the last 2 years! Granted you were probably saying the same thing at 5, 10 and 50 billion market cap 😂🎉😂

13 years later and these “finance experts” still don’t fully understand Bitcoin’s use cases. Fascinating…

Perhaps because no one actually needs bitcoin. haha

Danny of Dan, is he ever going to stop talking 😂

[@douglas2lee929]

Bethany, you should come to Minneapolis and do a very small venue "chat", maybe even with some degree of interactivity. I'm envisioning a "small" group of a few hundred. Get back to your roots for an evening.

[@jacquesreilly1850]

I recognized her politics immediately just by her using the word privilege. Come on, people really didn't know?

[@jonEmontana]

You knew immediately when they put musk on the chopping block For the 397th time. Twitter only sucks to liberals that liked better when the govt controlled it. Looking back on the pandemic, let’s not forget the censorship of some brilliant scientists and drs on Twitter. Everyone has their views. I still do research on what happened and the cover up still gojng on.

[@zacharylockhart4550]

Also "when Twitter was still relevant." Number 1 app download last year, if I recall correctly. People need to compartmentalize their politics and not let it infect other areas of their life, particularly when their job is analysis and producing public communications.

[@prism8289]

Good job. You proved EVERYTHING she was saying. Everything. Not most of it. ALL of it. You must have been in thr kitchen when she said no less than 20 things that would annoy the other side. Or how about an ENTIRE BOOK that would.

[@spykiller26]

Ewww Danny boy before you bring on the demise of Tesla you better talk to Carter I’ll be real interesting to see if he sees what I see

[@timk2896]

This is why politics should not come into your show. Dan sounds so ignorant and partisan when he says that Trump was the only one who politicized Covid. That is amongst the stupidest things I’ve ever heard given the degree to which Covid was used to help Biden win the election. Really, really bad take

[@timk2896]

And how about Dans newfound hate for Musk after he has revealed himself as a conservative? Similar to the whiny liberals after Trump because red. So predictable.

[@TheBaseCase]

Ally Sheedy. Full stop.

[@MC-oo4pk]

The host and Bethany misunderstand monetary policy. This is evident from the use of the "sucking" analogy when referring to interest on treasuries. The facts are that foreign nations, hedge funds, etfs, and regular folks own treasuries. Meaning higher interest on treauries = higher payments to treasury holders = stimulus ("pumping" to go along with the analogy). This is a common mistake from those unfamiliar with monetary operations.
