David McAlvany, CEO of McAlvany Financial Companies, joins us for a deep dive into today’s volatile economic environment. He shares his insights into the growing risks tied to overleveraged hedge funds, private equity, and private credit markets, which are increasingly unstable in the face of rising interest rates. We also discuss the need for active management, increased cash allocations, the importance of liquidity, and how time, not net worth, is the true measure of wealth.
