Our 2025 Summer Interns Take the Mic
In this special episode of Boxes and Lines, Ronan and JR sit down with members of IEX’s 2025 summer intern class, mostly incoming seniors in engineering, marketing, finance, and cybersecurity, for a conversation that spans Gen Z in the workplace, what they’ve learned at IEX, and their hopes (and hot takes) on the future of work, tech, and life. Two intern panels, one insightful summer, and at least one spreadsheet created in 5th grade. The kids are alright.

Boxes and Lines Lite: Welcome to the Pennyverse
Subdollar stocks —those priced under $1—now make up nearly half of all share volume in U.S. markets, while contributing a fraction of the notional value (the actual dollar amount being traded). In this episode of Boxes and Lines Lite, Ronan and JR get into why this trend deserves more attention than it’s getting. From wild one-day volume spikes in penny stocks to distorted exchange market share and rebate incentives, they chat about how a handful of ultra-low-priced names are reshaping the trading landscape, and why it’s not just noise.

From the Archives: The Blurring of Burr: Warring Founding Fathers, Treason, and Romance Novels
We’re re-airing one of our most surprising and most popular episodes for you this week -- a deep dive into Aaron Burr from January 2023. This episode is guest-hosted by IEX’s Jayme Abrahamsen and features Andy Kaplan (former Greenlight Capital partner, now CEO of Freedom’s Edge Cider). In a previous episode, they broke down the mythology of Hamilton. This time, they turn the spotlight on his adversary, Aaron Burr. Vice President. Revolutionary War hero. Romance novel star. Duelist. Exile. They explore how Burr’s legacy was rewritten by enemies like Hamilton and Jefferson, how he became a political cautionary tale, and what it says about who we choose to put on our currency and why.
In today's equity markets, the devil’s in the details. This is a podcast for traders, asset managers, and anyone who wants to understand the machinations, politics, and incentive structures underpinning our shared markets.
With irreverence and insight, IEX’s Ronan Ryan and John “JR” Ramsay hold court on market structure with Wall Street’s most savvy market practitioners, sharing their insiders’ view on how Wall Street really works. You'll never trade the same way again.
