In this episode, host Casey Stubbs interviews Tony Greer, the Editor of the Morning Navigator newsletter. Tony shares his background as an independent market analyst, discussing his experience as a commodity trader and equity salesman. He explains how he started writing a note to a client, which eventually led to the creation of the Morning Navigator newsletter with over a thousand subscribers. Tony also mentions his consulting business focused on risk management.

Tony also highlights the non-linear chaos in the stock market, where violent rotations and various sector drivers create a challenging trading environment.

The conversation dives deeper into the relationship between these narratives and how they impact each other. Tony emphasizes the importance of monitoring interest rates as a lead narrative, which influences the strength or weakness of the dollar. He explains that while rising rates typically strengthen the dollar, the current economic conditions and potential recession may create different scenarios.
