Investopedia is partnering with All Star Charts on this newsletter. The contents of this newsletter are for informational and educational purposes only.
A couple weeks ago, our colleague Jeff Macke sat down with Guy Adami for 40 minutes.
If you have ever watched CNBC, you know both of them.
Jeff was one of the original cast members on Fast Money when the show launched in 2006, and Guy has been the face of the show for almost two decades, the steady voice every weeknight at 5 pm Eastern.
They built Fast Money together, they were on set every night during the financial crisis, and they watched the floor change underneath them.
This conversation is the one they could not have on CNBC.
No producers, no talking points, no teleprompter.
Just two old friends going behind the curtain on the show that turned stock trading into must-watch TV.
Here’s what they get into:
→ The three-word phrase Jeff coined that traders still quote at Guy on the street today, fifteen years after he said it on air for the first time
→ The night Jonathan Wald walked past the set, said “what the hell was that,” and turned an 8-minute experiment into a nightly show that ran for almost twenty years
→ The reason Jeff says the gamification of the market is more dangerous than the financial crisis, and what a 17-year-old in California with a sports betting app has to do with it
→ The “quarter of a million dollars on Kalshi” prop bet on a college kicker missing an extra point that Jeff thinks is the canary in the coal mine for the entire degenerate economy
→ Guy’s confession about telling America “your dog just got hit by a truck” every single night during the Great Financial Crisis, and why he says the experience permanently changed how he reads the tape
→ How Paul Tudor Jones, Carl Icahn, and Gene Simmons all ended up on the same show, and which one pulled out his Kiss Visa card mid-interview while the makeup lady sat on his lap
→ The one specialty retail trade Jeff still warns Guy about every single time it shows up on a screener
→ Why Guy says Paul Tudor Jones belongs on the Mount Rushmore of traders, and the four-name list he would put up there
40 minutes of two of the sharpest tape readers in the business, with the studio gone and the cameras different.
If you trade, you should watch this.
