28 SEP 2026 · At over 5%, the 10-year Treasury yield is the highest since 2007. Those soaring yields are raising lots of questions about whether investors should be trimming stocks and buying bonds. But timing such a move can be complicated. On today’s Big Take podcast, Bloomberg’s David Papadopoulos and Michael Regan join host Sarah Holder to discuss whether we’re on the brink of a great portfolio reallocation, two very different reasons why bond yields are rising and why one prominent AI skeptic is embracing the trade he once shunned.

27 SEP 2026 · In 2014, the economists Owen Zidar and Eric Zwick were asked by the US Treasury to conduct a study on the tax burden of private business owners. One of their central findings is that there are about three million private business owners who have an average wealth of around $25 million. The research they conducted led to their new book, The Everywhere Millionaire: Who Is Really Rich in America and How They Got There.
On this week's Weekend Listen, Odd Lots co-hosts Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway talk to Zidar and Zwick about how they measured the actual number of rich people in America, why income inequality started to rise in tandem with the growing number of pass-through businesses, and how it's possible that the collective revenue of the nation's dentists far exceeds that of the NFL.
