About

Hey there! Welcome to The Julia La Roche Show. I started this channel because I wanted to bring more people in-depth conversations with some of the brightest minds in investing, business, and technology. I spent over a decade as a journalist and have interviewed top CEOs like Google, Goldman Sachs, Starbucks, Salesforce, Walmart, and more, as well as leading investors like Paul Tudor Jones, Bill Ackman, Ray Dalio, Jeffrey Gundlach, Charlie Munger, and others. But I've long felt traditional financial media, with its time constraints of 5-7 minute segments, didn't allow for deeper conversations, and guests would frequently get interrupted by the host. As a viewer, I was always left wanting more. My goal with this show is to change that. And I'll promise you I'll always make it about the guest, never me. Please subscribe so you won't miss any of these amazing guests. Thanks for your support. Julia

Video Description

Mel Mattison, a fintech executive with 25+ years in financial services, argues the U.S. is entering fiscal dominance where massive deficits will fuel asset bubbles rather than economic collapse. In December 2024, he correctly predicted the S&P's drop to 5,000 in the first half of 2025 and expects it to reach 7,000 by year-end, driven by Trump administration policies that prioritize growth over spending cuts. Mattison believes the 10-year Treasury rate is irrelevant since 85% of government debt is issued in short-term bills tied to Fed funds, allowing borrowing costs to fall even as deficits rise. With 2025 targets of Bitcoin at $150K and gold at $3,500, plus S&P at 12,000 within years, he sees this as the beginning of the biggest asset bubble since the 1990s dot-com era.
