    Chip Tariffs at 100%? Hold My Foundry.
    Aug 11 2025

    Capital Call #16: Chip Tariffs at 100%? Hold My Foundry.


    After the July jobs miss and giant BLS revisions, we dig into how fast-moving tariffs are warping prices, margins, and small-biz decisions—and why narrow leadership isn’t “the market.” We debate politicians trading, timing tops (don’t), and when technicals help vs. hurt.

    Stocks: FreightCar America (RAIL), railcar demand, and why micro/mid liquidity cuts both ways. Tariff watch now includes talk of 100% chip levies and sector-by-sector fallout (pharma, glass, autos). “This Day in Economic History” runs from Britain’s 1914 bank holiday and Bradbury notes to Agnew’s scandal, Barry Bonds’ 756th, Napoleon & the Bank of France, and the 2007 quant quake. Stay liquid.

    Welcome to the next episode of the Capital Call: with the Millegan Brothers, managing partners of the Woodworth Contrarian Fund with a new episode released Monday mornings at 2 AM Eastern / 5 AM Pacific.

  • Caffeinated Finance: Shorting Kohl’s Was a Mistake. So Was Touring the Fed with Trump.

    Caffeinated Finance: Shorting Kohl’s Was a Mistake. So Was Touring the Fed with Trump.
    Jul 28 2025

    The Millegan brothers are back and caffeinated—because nothing says “financial insight” like Celsius-fueled rants about Japanese mini trucks and tariff math that would make an IRS auditor throw their 10-key out the window. We cover everything from Powell’s hostage tour of the Fed building to why Kohl’s is apparently the new GameStop (but with real estate and fewer Reddit jokes).


    We unpack why small caps are lagging, how inventories are running on borrowed time, and why tariffs are just taxes in a trench coat. Helen of Troy (HELE) makes a surprise appearance as a boring beauty brand with surprisingly sharp moves—and an undervaluation that shampoo alone can’t explain. Plus: dividends get dissected, bankruptcies are booming, and we deliver a short-selling masterclass that ends with... “please stop shorting companies that own $8 billion in property.”


    We close with This Day in Economic History, featuring the First Bank of the United States, an early case of Reconstruction-era financial flexing, and a presidential radio debut that changed economic messaging forever—along with a handful of oddly specific surprises we didn’t see coming either.

  • The Fed’s Confused, the Market’s Delusional, and We’re Buying

    The Fed’s Confused, the Market’s Delusional, and We’re Buying
    Jul 14 2025

    In this episode of The Capital Call, we unpack the fallout from the “Big & Beautiful Bill”: surprise taxes on gambling, tips, and a deficit-busting combo of corporate cuts and entitlement trims. We break down the return of Trump-era tariffs, copper duties, and the strange case of disappearing cable lines.


    Nvidia hits a $4 trillion valuation, sparking a comparison to entire national economies, while the Fed remains split on rate cuts. The U.S. dollar has its worst start since 1973, and we debate whether market highs mean anything when they’re driven by a handful of mega-caps.


    We discuss reshoring, rare earths, Bitcoin’s run past $116K, and the case for doing nothing in a noisy market. Plus: bank earnings are coming, and in This Day in Economic History, we revisit Death Valley’s hottest day, the Scopes Monkey Trial, and Andrew Jackson’s war on the central bank.

  • Nike Ducks Tariffs, Canada Jabs U.S. Tech, and LBJ Punches the Fed Chair

    Nike Ducks Tariffs, Canada Jabs U.S. Tech, and LBJ Punches the Fed Chair
    Jun 30 2025
    In Episode 13 of The Capital Call, Quinn and Drew dig into a market-moving mix of index reshuffles, trade spats, and monetary lunacy. First up: the Russell 2000 reconstitution, where 28 new names are getting added and billions in capital are about to blindly shift—all because someone updated a spreadsheet.Then it’s on to Canada’s new digital services tax, which has Trump furious because, let’s be honest, it’s mostly aimed at U.S. tech giants. What follows? Vague threats, tariff teasers, and a surprisingly teachable moment about trade deficits, VAT systems, and why retaliating against your neighbor with electricity leverage is a bad idea.Meanwhile, Nike jumps 16% despite falling margins—because Wall Street now celebrates “less bad than feared.” Turns out, offshoring production to places other than China costs money. Who knew?On the macro side, the Q1 GDP revision goes from bad to worse (now -0.5%), but don’t worry—most of the damage is from companies panic-buying inventory ahead of tariffs. Expect that sugar crash in Q3. Russia, for its part, is holding bond auctions where the banks buying the debt can’t afford it, and sometimes just ghost the trade entirely. Makes you miss First Republic, huh?And in This Day in Economic History: the U.S. narrowly avoids a Depression-era banking supernova when a real estate speculator turned banker creates a circular lending disaster, Chicago loses its mind (and parking meters), and LBJ physically assaults the Fed Chair to get lower interest rates. Oh, and the Japanese yen was born… in San Francisco.Markets may be irrational, but at least they’re never boring.Welcome to the next episode of the Capital Call: with the Millegan Brothers, managing partners of the Woodworth Contrarian Fund with a new episode released every Monday morning at 2 AM Eastern / 5 AM Pacific.DEEP ROOTS.

  • Can David Deming Fix Interest Rates and Self-Driving Cars in One Episode?

    Can David Deming Fix Interest Rates and Self-Driving Cars in One Episode?
    Jun 23 2025

    David Deming, Pegasus Equestrian Director, joins the Millegan Brothers to discuss why the market’s at all-time highs despite war drums in Iran, sticky tariffs, and the Fed doing literally nothing. We unpack why interest rates aren’t going down anytime soon, how Turkey accidentally became a macroeconomics horror story, and whether oil at $130 is still just a vibe check away.


    Also on deck: Google might be the cheapest trillion-dollar company in the Mag7, Waymo is quietly eating Tesla’s RoboTaxi lunch, and Quinn dismantles the Rothschild-Waterloo myth like it’s a bad Reddit conspiracy. Plus: Garfield’s billion-dollar lasagna empire and the USDA once paying farmers to burn cotton on purpose. Markets are weird — but at least the Baja Blast was cold.

  • Why ICE Might Be the Most Expensive Tax on Your Grocery Bill

    Why ICE Might Be the Most Expensive Tax on Your Grocery Bill
    Jun 16 2025

    Tariffs are back, inflation is confused, and ICE is raiding your salad. In this week’s episode, we break down why oil prices spiked (hint: Middle East and fund managers panicking), how minimum wage still isn’t the job-killer people tweet about, and why Smoot-Hawley remains undefeated in the “worst economic idea ever” competition.


    **Apologies for the audio quality on this one**


    We also discuss the ICE labor crackdown threatening U.S. agriculture, the ongoing AI comedown (sorry, Adobe), inflation expectations vs reality, and why you can now trade Fartcoin on Coinbase. Plus: This Day in Economic History, featuring child-mailing, ticker tape parades, and government agencies born out of chaos.


    Topics include: oil markets, tariffs, minimum wage myths, deflation risks, immigration economics, Smoot-Hawley, AI layoffs, Coinbase tokens, inflation data, economic history, and—somehow—Nathan Fielder.


    If you enjoy economic policy with a side of sarcasm and a dash of doom, you’re in the right place.

  • Tesla’s Overpriced, Stellantis Is Cheap, & the SEC has a Birthday.

    Tesla’s Overpriced, Stellantis Is Cheap, & the SEC has a Birthday.
    Jun 9 2025

    Tesla’s still pretending it’s a tech company, Stellantis is still pretending it’s a cool name, and Elon’s reality show got picked up by the White House. We break down whether SpaceX could survive a government “upgrade,” how tariffs are the financial version of playing chicken with yourself, and why Stellantis might just be the least-loved bargain in autos (with Maserati-sized baggage).


    Also on deck: the S&P crosses the big 6-handle, oil prices yawn their way higher, and Circle’s IPO drops — because what the stablecoin market needed was more hype. Plus, a surprisingly intelligent discussion on IPO timing, salespeople, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ slow-motion hiring freeze.


    Stick around for our favorite segment: This Day in Economic History, featuring digestion-through-gunshot, Seattle on fire, and a celebration of the SEC’s birthday (because nothing says party like mandatory quarterly disclosures).

  • Capital Call: Now with 100% More Steel Tariffs

    Capital Call: Now with 100% More Steel Tariffs
    Jun 2 2025

    Kohl’s explodes upward, tariffs implode in court, and crypto takes a turn for the medieval as a self-styled “Bitcoin king” decides kidnapping is a viable portfolio strategy. We break down the chaos in U.S.–China trade talks, including China’s demand for AI chips and America’s new favorite acronym: TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out).


    Jamie Dimon goes full gloom-and-doom in a live interview, warning of bond market carnage just weeks after saying everything looked fine, which either means he’s hedging or auditioning for Treasury Secretary. Meanwhile, we explore the math behind steel tariffs (spoiler: you lose 75 jobs for every one saved), why the most American-made car still isn’t really American, and how free trade continues to confuse people with microphones.


    Plus: Andrew Jackson kills a guy, Milton Bradley loses everything over Lincoln’s beard, and stagecoach robbery goes out in a blaze of Canadian feminist glory. Economics has never been this weird or this violent.
