The Howard Lindzon Show: A Massive Generation of New Investors Is Onboarded as The Degenerate Economy Proliferates

Good morning…
I’m very excited to announce the launch of my new show for Stocktwits, The Howard Lindzon Show, alongside the amazing Michelle Steele (ESPN, Bloomberg). This show will be where culture meets technology meets money.
Today, we start with a breakdown of the Degenerate Economy, the tidal wave of speculation, prediction markets, and modern “betting UI” colliding with investing in real time. We talk about Nasdaq’s push toward a 23-hour trading day and Kalshi “combos” a.k.a. parlays for people in Patagonia vests.
We follow that up with a deep dive on $HOOD ( ▲ 3.83% ) : from scrappy trading app to something closer to an American “super app,” now leaning into event contracts, prediction markets, and the decentralization of inside information and expertise. We close with community buzz: Paramount, Netflix, and Warner assets trending, the drama of bids and personalities, and why the ultimate battle might not be “streamer vs streamer”… it’s attention.
Hope you enjoy the new show.
