About

Welcome to the Thematic Signals podcast by Tematica Research, where we look to distill everyday noise into clear investing signals using our thematic lens and our 10 investing themes. Every week we not only discuss key events that are shaping the stock market, but we also look at key sign posts for the changing economic, demographic, psychographic, and technological landscapes that are driving the structural changes occurring around us.

Thematic Signals is hosted by Tematica Research Chief Macro Strategist Christopher Versace. Chris is featured columnist to TheStreet.com as well as a contributor to FoxBusiness.com and Forbes.com.
