In this first, rather hectic episode, @johnkirby braves a cold, and @vic kicks his kids out of his office to take a deep dive into the aftermath of CPI. They examine skewedness pre-and post-CPI, skewedness pre-and post-SNAP earnings, and talk gamma levels as they tease out the path we took to Friday's close.
