I've spent the last three decades trying to better understand money across the boardroom,
the newsroom, and the trading floor.
That's longer than most podcast hosts have been alive.
But even I've got questions.
Join me, Maren's Upset Web, every week for my show, Maren Talks Money, from Bloomberg Podcasts,
where I have in-depth conversations with fund managers,
strategists, and experts about how markets really work.
And join me for a separate episode where I answer listener questions on how to make those markets work for you.

First, there's stocks in Japan surging after Sanae Takahichi's resounding election win.
Her Liberal Democratic Party won more than two-thirds of the seats in the lower parliament in Japan.
It's best ever result.
And that gives Ms Takahichi greater ability to enact her agenda,
which is expected to include increasing government spending to boost economic growth and cutting taxes for consumers.
