In this episode of Lead-Lag Live, I sit down with Jay Hatfield, CEO of Infrastructure Capital Advisors, to unpack why the Fed keeps getting it wrong—and how investors can actually benefit from the new rate-cutting cycle.

From outdated shelter calculations to overlooked leading indicators, Jay explains why monetary policy needs modernization and where the next opportunities lie as markets adjust.

In this episode:
– Why the Fed’s reliance on lagging shelter data distorts inflation
– How the monetary base drives every economic
– Why small caps and financials stand to outperform in a lower-rate
– The case for preferred, high-yield bonds, and MLPs as overlooked
– How AI-driven energy demand is creating a hidden natural gas

Lead-Lag Live brings you inside conversations with the financial thinkers who shape markets. Subscribe for interviews that go deeper than the noise.
