The Fed Chose Independence Over The Economy As A Double-Dip Recession Unfolds: DiMartino Booth
The Julia La Roche Show

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
Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO and Chief Strategist at QI Research, joins Julia La Roche in-studio following the September FOMC. DiMartino Booth argues the Fed "chose independence over economy" with its 25bp cut, as Waller and Bowman sacrificed potential Fed chair positions by not dissenting for larger cuts. She presents compelling evidence the US has created zero jobs since April in the core private sector and calls a double-dip recession starting Q2 2024. DiMartino Booth's thesis is that "the Fed put is dead" - if the Fed goes to zero bound again, the 40% of stocks owned by 70+ year-olds will be forced to sell, stress-testing passive flows for the first time in history. She advocates reforming the Fed's structure, eliminating the conflicting dual mandate, and warns that unknown leverage in private markets represents the new systemic fault line.
