Michael Green discusses passive market distortions, the labor market, and the K-Shaped recovery with Drew and Tim.

BOZEMAN, Mont., Oct. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Michael Green, Chief Strategist at Simplify Asset Management, joined Tim Pierotti, Chief Investment Strategist at WealthVest, and Drew Dokken, Senior Institutional Marketing Manager at WealthVest, on their weekly podcast, WealthVest: The Weekly Bull&Bear. They discussed Michael Green's background in valuation consulting and M&A, running a Soros-seeded hedge fund, managing Peter Thiel's personal capital, and founding Simply Asset Management and Tier 1 Alpha.

The key topics discussed were the ability to create market distortions through passive investing. Green argues that markets are inelastic, referencing academic work such as the Inelastic Market Hypothesis (Gabaix & Koijen). This results in an upward-sloping demand curve, where higher prices lead to more buying.

Green explains this way,

"And so the observation became, if they're not actually passive investors, what are they? And it turns out all they are is a systematic algorithm, and that systematic algorithm is really straightforward. If you give me cash, then buy. If you ask for cash, then sell. And if you recognize that as your systematic algorithm, trying to evaluate how passive has influenced markets and how it will continue to influence markets and grow in its impact becomes much more straightforward, and that really has been the underlying source of a lot of the research that I've done."

They also discussed valuations, the labor market, and associated data issues, as well as the concept of a K-shaped economy.
