Pomboy has produced a series of early analyses that have contributed to her reputation as an independent economist. Her piece, "The Great Bubble Transfer," examined the shift from the tech stock bubble to a housing bubble under Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, an analysis that gained attention following the housing market collapse. Pomboy's warnings about consumer debt and financial fragility ahead of the financial crisis, as well as her work on the Wall Street vs. Main Street framework, are among her significant contributions to financial discourse. She has also analyzed the structural issues and long-term effects of Federal Reserve policies on the U.S. economy.

Pomboy's work has been featured in financial publications such as Barron's, Fortune, and The New York Times, and she has appeared on financial television programs including Bloomberg TV, Fox Business, and CNBC. She is known for her candid critiques of monetary policy and economic trends, and she serves as a keynote speaker at investment conferences and industry events, including the Precious Metals Summit in Beaver Creek and the Strategic Investment Conference, where she presents on macroeconomic trends.

Pomboy co-hosts the podcast "The Super Terrific Happy Hour" with financial analyst Grant Williams, discussing global economic trends, policy changes, and market outlooks. In the podcast, Pomboy and Williams share perspectives on the macroeconomic landscape in wide-ranging conversations. Her independent, data-driven analysis continues to inform institutional investors and the public on the forces shaping global markets.
