What Goes Up

The Data Detective

The cost of a bacon cheeseburger. The average size of a U.S. home, and the average number of people who live in it. The number of Google searches for words like “cheap gas,” “coupons” and “Dow Jones.” Nick Colas, the co-founder of DataTrek Research, tracks all of this and more on top of a regular diet of traditional market data. Also joining the podcast is Bloomberg reporter Emily Barrett, who discusses the ferocious bond-market rally and how the Treasury is flirting with the idea of issuing 50 or 100-year bonds.
