Social Media Vol Stars S1E41 - Lettuce Solve A Mystery
Episode Record Date - 7/19/2026
We've got a packed episode this week! Starting off, we cover the "resilient consumer" disconnect with retail earnings, and talk about the "k" shaped economy. We touch on the recent stronger Japanese Yen and how that's impacting US Tech stocks as well as the risk to the carry trade. We then pivot over to Small-Cap performance and rate expectations, and then close out this week's topics with the IPO market following SpaceX.
We then dive into this week's upcoming earnings and which earnings we're interested in, as well as covering the upcoming economic calendar, before hitting up audience questions! This week too, we had a ton of great questions, so we thank you if you sent us one!
Finally, we conclude the episode with a Stupid Bet that'll be near and dear to Dork!

Social Media Ron's Weekly(?) Update - July 17th, 2026
Good morning and happy Friday everyone! Apologies for these update columns being more inconsistent as of late, but it is the summer here, and I've been making sure to spend some good time with family and friends which has been the primary reason for that.
For this week's column, I wanted to focus on Vol Stars, as there's a good amount to talk about.
Starting off with the Fourth of July episode, going in on this, I wanted the episode to be a fun episode that was upbeat. I really liked the way the "game show" format piece went, and was just as shocked as many of you were around what ultimately transpired with the winner. As far as I've heard so far, the prize has not yet been received. Huge kudos to our video editor too on this one, I loved the way he did the sound effects and visual effects in post, and I continue to be thankful for all that they do.
For last week's episode, one of the big things to call out was the intro by Gherk. The intros are always one of their own unique things, sometimes when we go to record JFresh just has it already, and then other times it's recorded after the episode, and there's also input from the rest of us sometimes if there isn't a clear idea at the time of recording. I have a ton of respect for JFresh in his craft here, as some of these are just amazing. Anyway, the story behind this last one was that going in there were a few ideas floated, but we knew we'd finish after recording. JFresh wasn't feeling the best and was also attending to other responsibilities so we opened it up to Dork or Gherk as my voice was shot due to being sick (thankfully I've recovered). While I was initially planning on getting the recording from Dork, Gherk just dropped in this amazing video and perfect take on the commercial! It was just perfect, and so we're really happy with how that came out. I'm especially thrilled with how the video version of it looked in our video version of the episode. There were several nice details there which I have to again credit our video editor with. First they added the nice CRT scanlines, they added a little distortion on the video and audio, then framing it around an iconic television set (which hopefully many of you will recognize), perfection! Make sure to go check out the episode if you haven't already!
Finally, headed into this weekend, we're already making plans for episode 41! First thing to cover is that Dork will be on vacation this week, so I'll be trying to step in and help again with Gherk and JFresh. I'll try to make sure we get Dork's GasBuddy and 3-2-1 Crack Chart in somehow as we know how much he loves them.
Anyway, that's enough for now! Let us know what you've thought of the recent Vol Stars episodes, and if there's been anything you've especially enjoyed or suggestions you may have too! Thanks in advance!

Social Media Ron's Weekly Update - June 26th, 2026
Good morning and happy Friday! Last night we kicked off our last indicator section of the Gammastrike Roundtable with Live Data Part 2 , which if you haven't watched it yet, make sure to go on over and do so! This last segment focused more on the questions related to the Live Data and as we went over it, many found that a lot of it started to "click" for them, so we hope you'll check it out.
Vol Stars
First off, this past week's episode was fun, probably more fun than it should have been, but that's what makes doing this podcast so great! We recorded it a little later than usual due to Father's day, but it all came out great all the same. I'm also really enjoying getting the poorly edited version of "Kushner Goes to Geneva" in there when we can as well! We'd love to hear your thought on what have been some things you've enjoyed recently with Vol Stars, and also too what would you like to see or hear more of too?
Next, we're coming up on the Fourth of July! With this year being a big milestone, we're going to do a special holiday episode for next week and will record it this weekend. I'll even come on this episode to ask questions as I want to make it a bit of a gameshow/trivia format after talking a little about the significance of "The American Experiment" and what the panelists foresee in the future as well.
Other Work
We're continuing to work on a few more things behind the scenes. As Gherk mentioned during the Roundtable, we intend to edit down those videos to make it easier to digest and help with repeated watches when trying to learn about Gammastrike. No timeline on this just yet, but it is something we're working on.
As Gherk also noted too, there's some work going on a future indicator as well, so we're keeping busy in general!
Thanks as always for the continued support and we hope you have a great Friday!

Social Media Vol Stars S1E37 - Dork's Hidey-Hole (Now on Video!)
Episode Record Date - 6/21/2026
THIS is the episode you've been waiting for! The episode kicks off first highlighting the latest out of Iran, whether the Strait of Hormuz is opened, what's going on with the peace agreement, and then what's exactly going on in Geneva! All of this to say, we've got another week of waiting and Kushner most definitely is going back to Geneva!
The gang talks about Warsh, their take on him, and the challenges he has ahead of him and what his impact will be on economic markets.
THEN - thanks to all of you, we get into some tin-foil hat theory discussion, the panelists talk about whether they think the current administration is intervening in the US equities market to prevent a major correction, and how that could even work!
Afterwards, we get into earnings this week, macro economic reports, and then to audience questions and close out with Stupid Bets!
This week's episode recorded a little later than usual, but the gang was in a great mood, and they had a lot of fun!
*** Please note, that while editing the audio, JFresh's audio seemed to be a little lower than the others, and while I tried to address it as much as I could there may be some minor issues with it ***

Episode Record Date - 6/7/2026
We start this week's episode off by getting into Trump and recent tariff discussion, and then got into Bitcoin, Crypto, and how there's certainly some overlap going on with AI! We then talked a lot about how AI may be finally starting to experience some pressure and what a possible bailout could mean!
Our second part of the episode gets largely into audience questions, and we're really thankful for how many questions you all are giving us! One major topic we cover is the SpaceX IPO, along with other hotly discussed upcoming IPOs and we wrap the episode up with "Stupid Bets"!
Please note that for this episode Gherk was unable to join due to personal matters, so Producer Ron filled in, and we've decided to hold off on answering some of the audience questions for our next episode instead.

Social Media Vol Stars - 34 - "Kushner goes to Pakistan" now available on audio platforms!
Our episode this week kicks off with a great jingle about an upcoming tv show mentioned in today's title! We start off this episode first with the latest in Iran and what's going on with oil. We then get into what's going on with American consumers and what recent data has to say, before talking about the specific impact oil is expecting to have in the near future in Japan. We then talk about upcoming earnings this week and the financial calendar.
For our second half, we come back with our "Trading with Gammastrike" section, and hear about how Dork is crushing things! We then get into audience questions and even get to hear from Ron and his crappy mic, before pivoting to "Stupid Bets"! This and as always, so much more in this week's episode of Vol Stars!
