In this latest issue of my weekly podcast, we ask whether the skipping stone that we call the yield curve is finally sinking (See two earlier podcasts: April 1, "The Power of the Spread" and May 29, "Yield Curve Inversion...and Global Elections." I take a look at the Tiananmen Square protests 30 years later, EU election aftershocks, and I explore the anti-trust probe into Google and big tech. I also examine the National Spelling Bee’s unprecedented 8-way tie and why the dictionary can’t keep up with our co-champions.
