Welcome to WSJ’s Take On the Week. Co-hosts Gunjan Banerji, lead writer for Live Markets, and Telis Demos, Heard on the Street’s banking and money columnist, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead. Gunjan and Telis start off by discussing the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate decision, and tackling what’s been going in the market for risky derivatives, where activity is on track to hit an all-time high this year. Later on, the co-hosts are joined by Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev. Before the trading platform Robinhood became a one-stop app offering a slew of financial products, from credit cards to retirement accounts, it was at the center of the 2021 GameStop and meme stock frenzy. Gunjan, Telis and Vlad discuss Robinhood’s transformation and the rise and future of retail investing. Have an idea for a future guest or episode? How can we better help you take on the week?
