  • Inside the Enigmatic Firm That Rules Wall Street
    9 Oct 2026

    Jane Street just eclipsed Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan as the biggest trading house on Wall Street. It pulled in nearly $40 billion in trading revenue in 2025. And it’s so enigmatic that to the outside world, it’s unclear who’s even in charge.

    On today’s Big Take podcast, David Gura talks to finance reporters Max Abelson and Katherine Doherty on their reporting on who’s calling the shots at the firm and why it matters to global markets.

    8 Oct 2026

    Ultra-wealthy individuals in the UK have been fleeing the country, after sweeping Labour Party tax reforms led to a crackdown on overseas wealth. For the first time, new data from the Bloomberg Billionaires Index reveals just how much money is at stake with the exodus.

    On today’s Big Take podcast, host Sarah Holder talks to Bloomberg’s Benjamin Stupples about the UK’s $160 billion problem and the impact it could have on Britain’s economy.

  • Texas Is Testing the Power of MAGA Inc.’s Money
    7 Oct 2026

    President Trump is campaigning in Texas on Wednesday, rallying voters in a state that’s long been a Republican stronghold. His efforts in traditionally red states around the country show how surprisingly close many of these midterm races have become — and the outcome will determine if Trump’s party can hold onto the Senate and advance his agenda for the next two years.

    On today’s Big Take podcast, Texas bureau chief Julie Fine and Washington correspondent Josh Wingrove join host Sarah Holder to break down the ultra-expensive, surprisingly competitive Texas Senate race and what it would mean for Trump’s presidency if he loses the Lone Star state.
