Wow! Pragmatism! Driven by physics, economics and, yes, even politics. It's clear that 2025's reset will carry into 2026, and energy markets are breathing a collective sigh of relief. So what does this renewed tilt toward fossil fuels mean for markets? Today, our Prognostications for 2026.
Well, 2025 is now in the books, allowing us time for reflection, resolution-making and pretending we always knew how the year would turn out. And unlike many, we also look into the rear-view mirror to see how we did with last year's predictions. That's what we'll do in today's blog.
This week, Aaron, Jess and Joey revisit their 2025 prognogs from Episode 296. They talk about the micro social media surge, cynicism, platform madness, informed styling, blockbusters, weaponized compliance, non-apocalyptic runaway AI moments, and our AI overlords. They don't talk about eggprogs. references If I ruled the world ...

We discussed a LOT. Below is the AI summary. All we can say is that this is a can't miss episode, recorded right before the Dodgers face the Phillies in Game 1.Dodgers' Season Performance ReviewThe group discussed the Dodgers' 93-win season, which was viewed as below expectations given their financial strength but still a solid performance. They noted key injuries to players like Mookie Betts and Max Muncy, as well as underperformance from some stars, but emphasized that no team dominated the regular season. Jim and Williearon highlighted the importance of playing the full 162 games and the team's improved performance in the final weeks, which raised hopes for their October run. Betts' Performance and Team Impact The group discussed Mookie Betts' recent performance improvement, attributing it to his meeting with J.D. Martinez and his decision to focus on playing rather than worrying about numbers. They agreed that Betts' transition to shortstop, while challenging, demonstrated his athletic ability and perseverance, though it may have affected his offensive performance initially. The team noted that Betts' success is crucial to the Dodgers' overall performance, and his recent emotional and energetic play on the field has helped restore the team's spark and chemistry. NLDS Team Analysis and Predictions The group discussed the upcoming NLDS between the Dodgers and Phillies, agreeing that both teams are among the best in baseball. They analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the Brewers, Padres, and Dodgers, with Rob and Williearon highlighting the importance of power hitting in October. The conversation then shifted to the Padres' recent performance and leadership issues, with Chris and Williearon expressing skepticism about Machado and Tatis's ability to lead the team effectively. Dodgers Playoff Bullpen Strategy The group discussed the Dodgers' playoff strategy, particularly focusing on their bullpen challenges and the potential role of Clayton Kershaw. They agreed that while the team had made significant off-season acquisitions, including Kirby Yates and Tanner Scott, the bullpen had underperformed during the regular season. The discussion centered on how Kershaw might be used in the playoffs, with Chris noting that the team would likely analyze matchups against Phillies' hitters like Harper and Schwarber, while Jim and Rob explored the implications of the quick turnaround between Games 1 and 3, and the unpredictability of the bullpen situation. Dodgers Pitcher Kershaw's Strong Season The group discussed the performance of Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw, who finished the season with an 11-2 record and was praised for his consistent deep-start performances, drawing comparisons to Sandy Koufax. They noted that while the Dodgers had better offensive and starting pitching numbers compared to their opponents, their bullpen and defense were considered weaknesses. Dodgers Playoff Strategy Discussion The group discussed the Dodgers' defensive lapses, particularly focusing on Teo's recent errors and overall decline in performance. They agreed that the Phillies, who recently played the Dodgers in a regular season series, pose a strong challenge, with runs likely to be at a premium. The team strategized about starting pitcher usage, noting the importance of getting length from starters and potentially letting them go 100 pitches plus, especially with off days built into the playoff schedule. They also briefly discussed the decision to leave Robleski off the playoff roster, attributing it to matchup strategy and his recent inconsistency. Playoff Roster Strategy and Otani The group discussed roster decisions for an upcoming playoff series against the Phillies, noting that Roblox was left off the roster while carrying three catchers, which created an arm shortage. They focused on Otani's potential impact as a pitcher and hitter, highlighting his dominant regular season performance and productive first playoff series against the Reds. The team predicted that Otani's opportunity to prove himself in the postseason would be crucial, especially given his recent shoulder injury that affected his playoff performance last year. Playoff Predictions and Pitching Strategies The group discussed the upcoming Phillies-Dodgers playoff series, with Chris and others predicting a Dodgers victory in four games. They analyzed the potential roles of pitchers like Roki and Sasaki, agreeing that Sasaki would likely be used as a closer in high-leverage situations. The conversation then shifted to predictions for other playoff series, with the group agreeing that the Brewers would likely defeat the Cubs in their matchup. Postseason Baseball Predictions The group discussed the upcoming postseason baseball games, focusing on the American League and National League Division Series. They predicted the Yankees would face the Blue Jays, with the Yankees being favored due to the performance of reliever Chapman. For the NLDS, they agreed on the Dodgers winning in four games. The conversation concluded with reflections on the Dodgers' aging roster and the possibility of this being their last chance to win a World Series together.

In this episode, Wade Pfau and Alex Murguia review 2024, focusing on the discrepancies between market predictions and actual outcomes. They discuss the impact of prognostications on investment decisions and highlight the unpredictability of markets, emphasizing the importance of a long-term perspective in financial planning. Their conversation discusses the complexities of investing, emphasizing the futility of forecasting market trends and the importance of capturing market returns. They explore various investment strategies, including the significance of risk tolerance, the role of international investing, and the ongoing debate between value and growth stocks. The discussion highlights the necessity of diversification and maintaining a long-term perspective in investment decisions, especially in light of recent market performances and economic indicators. Listen now to learn more! Takeaways The importance of learning from past market predictions. Prognostications can significantly influence investment decisions. Historical performance of the S&P 500 shows the unpredictability of forecasts. Financial education often contradicts the reality of market forecasting. A historical average return may be a more reliable guide than expert forecasts. Successful investing doesn't rely on forecasting. Discipline in capturing market returns leads to better long-term outcomes. International investing still holds value despite recent underperformance. Value stocks have not fundamentally deteriorated despite recent trends. Diversification across asset classes is crucial for risk management. Recent market highs do not guarantee future downturns.

Ready to unravel the complexities of the NBA playoffs with sharp insights and bold predictions? Look no further. This episode zeros in on the Philadelphia 76ers' rally with Joel Embiid's return and the burgeoning partnership between Milwaukee Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday. We dissect their playoff chemistry, scrutinize Doc Rivers' coaching strategies, and debate whether the synergy of these dynamic duos can withstand the heat of the Eastern Conference adversaries. Switching courts to the Western Conference, we examine the Minnesota Timberwolves' defensive stronghold and the impact of the rookie sensations Wimby and Chet. Can the duo of Naz Reid and Karl-Anthony Towns bolster the Wolves' bite in the playoffs? We explore their on-court synchronicity and how the emergence of such rookies is reshaping team dynamics and playoff aspirations, all while considering the perennial debate: what truly defines a 'rookie' in the NBA? Wrapping up with a look at the Dallas Mavericks' dream team of Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving, we ponder if their collaboration is the secret sauce to postseason success. Beyond the hardwood, we assess how NBA stars carry the weight of representing their teams in the public eye, influencing not just games, but financial stakes and team legacies. Our conversation stretches from the Clippers' future prospects in their new arena to the strategic evolution of underdog teams like the Orlando Magic. Join us for a playbook of analyses that promises to elevate your basketball IQ as the playoffs approach.
