Trading Justice 336: Rob Embers on Cybersecurity Risk

In this episode, we welcome Rob Embers to the podcast.  Rob is the CCO of Dionach, a cybersecurity expert and technology industry veteran with over 20 years’ experience.  He works with companies to build cybersecurity procedures and protection.  Listen in as we discuss the current state of cybersecurity, some of the biggest risks out there for individuals, companies and governments and what his advice is on how people can better protect their data and information.

Before that, Matt, Tim, and Mark discuss the latest developments in the financial markets during our Market Skyline.  Trade War rhetoric and news has been dominating markets the last week where one day it seems like the US and China are not making progress and then the next day, they are back at the negotiation table.  What should we expect next?  Aside from the Trade War, we had a significant speech from Jerome Powell last week on monetary policy at the Jackson Hole summit.  Powell admitted there is no ‘rule book’ in an environment like this but reiterated the fed will ‘act as appropriate to sustain the expansion’.  Mark and Tim also disagree on the risk in the Oil market and its outlook during a spirited point/counterpoint.

Lastly, Mark has a list of topics during our ‘Buy or Sell’ segment.  Will Apple outperform the market the next month?  Will the FED cut interest rates?  Are defensive sectors the best play in the market?  Will the economy move into a recession in the next 6 months?  Mark asks Matt and Tim to buy or sell these different outcomes and a few more during this fun segment.  This is a fun podcast, enjoy!
