The panel opened with reflections on the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk and other recent violent events, framing them through the lens of The Fourth Turning by Strauss & Howe.Discussion on how history moves in ~80–100 year cycles of crisis and renewal, with Bitcoin and decentralized protocols potentially forming the backbone of the next institutional order.John emphasized perspective, comparing today's turmoil with past upheavals (1960s, 1970s, World Wars), and highlighted the role of media saturation in shaping perceptions.Panelists praised Kirk's willingness to debate respectfully, lamenting the erosion of open dialogue in society.Shifted to macro: China's gold accumulation as a hedge against dollar hegemony, interpreted as part of a global move toward neutral reserve assets—gold today, Bitcoin tomorrow.Deep dive into U.S. financial surveillance: the inefficiencies of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and threats of extending the Patriot Act to digital assets. Panelists argued KYC/AML laws are largely ineffective at stopping crime but very effective at surveilling citizens.Highlighted the DOJ's case against Samourai Wallet as an example of U.S. hostility toward Bitcoin privacy tools.Covered this week's major supply-chain attack on NPM packages, noting minimal impact but using it as a PSA: always verify addresses on hardware wallets and beware phishing scams.Tether launched a U.S.-regulated stablecoin (USAT). The panel explored how this intersects with the Genius Act, which would require stablecoin reserves to be in U.S. Treasuries, effectively creating a new forced buyer of U.S. debt.Quick hits: MicroStrategy denied S&P 500 inclusion (for now), BLS quietly revised U.S. job numbers down by 900k, Gemini goes public, and Michael Saylor positions MicroStrategy as a “Bitcoin capital markets” play.

On a record-setting day for the S&P 500, Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber discussed market reaction to key economic data: August CPI rose year-on-year while weekly jobless claims jumped to levels not seen in four years. AI in the spotlight one day after shares of Oracle soared 36%, adding $224 billion to its market cap and making founder Larry Ellison $100 billion wealthier. On a somber day for the United States, the anchors remembered the September 11 attacks which occurred 24 years ago. Also in focus: Day two for Klarna after its shares rose 15% in its public debut, a downgrade for Apple, one CEO's take on a "terrible consumer experience," Jim previews his visit to Corning's Kentucky plant that makes glass for Apple devices, the manhunt for the shooter who killed political activist Charlie Kirk.Squawk on the Street Disclaimer
Good market performance on Wednesday, but that was on the backs of only a few stocks: Broadcom, Nvidia, Oracle...all AI-related. Oracle's outlook for AI-related Cap-ex spending was optimistic, which dovetailed nicely with what Nvidia had said earlier. Oracle opened the day ahead 33%, traded as high as 40%, and closed the day with a 35% gain. That action lifted the entire Tech sector, and pushed the S&P to another all-time high. Price compression is creating a wedge pattern, which markets are trying to break out of. The negative divergence we've been watching really doesn't matter...until it matters. Yesterday's breadth, however, was not impressive, with only a few spots of strength and a lot of red across the market heat map. Yesterday's PPI report ignited a kneejerk reaction in the bond market, but digging deeper into the data resulted in a further decline in yields. This morning's CPI report (+2.9%) will have a bearing on bonds, and if yields continue to drop, short covering will add to the movement downward. Interest Rates now have a buy signal, indicating yields will slip lower. Bond are over sold, and a reversal would not be surprising.

They dive into unusual options activity, particularly the explosive trading in meme stock Open, and analyze other notable trades in names like Vimeo, Recursion Pharmaceuticals, and Teck Resources.

Sign up for the Jason Hartman University Event this coming September https://www.jasonhartman.com/Phoenix . Also don't forget to register for our FREE Masterclass every second Wednesday of each month at https://jasonhartman.com/Wednesday In the introduction, Jason primarily focuses on two key topics: upcoming investment opportunities and a significant legal scandal. He first details an upcoming Phoenix event that will introduce attendees to methods for extracting home equity without affecting existing low-interest mortgages or incurring new monthly payments, and reveal a novel property investment type offering high monthly income relative to purchase price. Subsequently, he transitions to a scathing exposé of Marco Santorelli, a former competitor accused of defrauding investors of $62.5 million through a Ponzi scheme involving bogus promissory notes, with Jason using official government and news sources to highlight the severity of the charges and the devastating impact on victims. Jason then joins Gene Morris of Rebel Capitalist. He asserts that the market is currently experiencing minimal distress, despite ongoing debates about a housing deficit, which he estimates at 4.5 million homes. He argues that housing inventory remains exceptionally low when adjusted for population growth, comparing current levels to those of the 1990s and 2017 but with a significantly larger population. Jason critiques the S&P 500's real returns, claiming they are almost nonexistent when adjusted for inflation, which he believes is understated by the CPI. He advocates for real estate as a superior investment strategy due to its ability to leverage debt, with tenants covering costs and offering substantial returns, far outpacing inflation, especially in a "ludicrous mode" scenario of 15% appreciation. Jason concludes that real estate prices are unlikely to crash without a significant number of distressed homeowners and that even a slight decrease in mortgage rates could unlock millions of new buyers, further exacerbating the existing supply-demand imbalance. #HousingMarket #RealEstate #HousingDeficit #InventoryLevels #HousingAffordability #MortgageRates #PropertyAppreciation #IncomeProperty #LeverageInvesting #CashOnCashReturn #BeatInflation #StockMarketVsRealEstate #S&P500 #CPIUnderstated #RealVsNominal #FinancialEngineering #MarketDistress #RebelCapitalist #Doomers #InvestmentStrategy #DemandSupply #UnmetDemand #NewBuyers #RentalMarket #HousingShortage #LongTermInvesting #AssetClass #ShelterIsNecessary Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:33 Sign up for the Jason Hartman University Event this coming September https://www.jasonhartman.com/Phoenix 2:02 A couple of big announcements 7:47 4 reasons to join the JHU event 9:37 Sponsor: https://www.monetary-metals.com/Hartman 10:09 The Marco Santarelli scandal Jason's interview with Gene Morris 15:45 Update on Housing inventory 17:23 S & P 500 versus Inflated Adjusted Returns 18:47 Power of leverage 20:59 September ICE mortgage monitor and delinquencies 21:54 An asteroid hitting the US, Consumer expectations and financial engineering Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Ministrul Educației, Daniel David, explică într-un interviu la RFI de ce a decis să nu-și dea demisia, în contextul protestelor profesorilor. El vorbește pe de altă parte despre o serie de reforme din învățământ. Daniel David, despre protestele profesorilor: ”Știu că avem aceste nemulțumiri în sistem, le consider justificate, inclusiv eu sunt nemulțumit de faptul că a trebuit să mă transform dintr-un ministru al reformei, într-un ministru al crizei, al austerității, doar că eu vreau să construiesc pe aceste nemulțumiri reformele de care noi avem nevoie în sistem”. Despre o eventuală demisie: ”Dacă ar fi fost după mine, ar fi trebuit să-mi dau demisia înainte de 8 iulie, atunci când după ce am preluat al doilea mandat, am realizat că dintr-un ministru al reformelor, mă voi transforma într-un ministru al austerității, pentru că a apărut grozăvia, ca să spun așa, financiar-bugetară și acela era un moment, din punct de vedere personal, excelent să plec. Problema este că uneori, un ministru trebuie să hotărască la ce se uită, se uită la interesul personal sau se uită la țară. Dacă ministrul Educației pleca înainte de evaluarea ECOFIN din 8 iulie, înainte de evaluarea S&P din iulie, înainte de evaluarea Fitch din august, înainte de evaluarea pe care o așteptăm de la agenția Moody's, semnul era foarte prost și, Doamne ferește, puteam contribui la o încadrare a țării în categoria junk, ceea ce ne punea la risc salarii, burse, pensii, ajutoare sociale”. Despre reformele din Educație: ”Un efect secundar pozitiv al acestor măsuri de criză, nu a fost intenționat, dar este un efect secundar pozitiv, faptul că la nivelul învățământului primar vom avea cele două ore de educație remedială pentru copii. Noi întotdeauna ne-am dorit să avem program național remedial, dar nu am avut buget. Ei, uite că vom avea două ore pe săptămână la nivelul învățământului primar, în care învățătorul va lucra cu copii să-și consolideze și să-și fixeze competențele dobândite, să corecteze competențele pe care ar fi vrut să le formeze și copii n-au reușit să le asimileze”.

Chris started writing about finance back in 2013 under the moniker Quoth the Raven and was a speaker at the 2019 Stansberry Conference. Chris kicks things off by addressing tariffs and shares how nominal prices will continue to rise regardless of what we do. He says the cycle of crashes and money-printing has continued to accelerate and create bigger distortions and drops. And he discusses passive bids that pile into the S&P 500 Index and cause valuations to become stretched. He warns against overexposure to the fund due to potential drawdowns in any of the "Magnificent Seven" that could take the index down with them. (0:00) Next, Chris states that the market has gone "all in" on options instead of equities, creating a state of leveraged gambling. And he predicts that things have changed so much that despite the beliefs that there will continue to be government bailouts or other solutions, this cannot continue. Something will break eventually. However, it's not all doom and gloom. Chris says you just have to find where there's good value. (24:06) Finally, Chris shares advice on how to hedge any large market crashes based on his own strategies. He also cautions against buying into assets in blind hope of reaching a bottom. If a company is burning money without generating any cash, there won't be a bottom to bounce off of. (42:19)

Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/pqKsMKp6SA Big shifts are happening in the markets! On today's show, we'll break down the latest changes to the S&P 500 index and what they mean for traders and investors going forward. We'll also dive into:
Markets sold off on Friday; nothing really surprising to investors. Markets continue to grind along the trend line, with a little weakness showing in Nvidia and other tech stocks. This is why it's important to keep portfolios balanced between growth a defense. The S&P isn't breaking out, rather moving side ways, tracking right along with the 20-DMA. The biggest concern we have presently is the continuing, large negative divergence in relative strength and momentum. This behavior tends to show up prior to market corrections. Volatility remains extremely suppressed. Gold's consolidation has resulted in abnormal over-bought conditions. This would be a great place to take profits and await the next pullback. An inverse of that has been Oil prices, very over-sold. Despite the weakness in Oil, Energy prices have been performing well. Bond Yields have fallen sharply over the past three sessions; the trend in Yields has been decidedly lower over the past few months.

If you own indexed universal life insurance or you're considering buying it, you've probably looked at all the index options and wondered which one to choose. In this episode, we dive deep into the data to answer that question with empirical analysis rather than guesswork. We examine the two most common index options available across IUL contracts: the traditional S&P 500 annual reset with a cap and the uncapped strategy with a spread. Using 20 years of market data, we test different allocation strategies to determine which approach delivers the best results. You'll discover why the "optimal" choice might matter less than you think, with total differences of only about 1% over two decades. More importantly, we reveal how splitting your allocation between capped and uncapped options can significantly reduce volatility while maintaining nearly identical returns to the best-performing single option. We also explore why volatility matters even in IUL contracts that have downside protection. If you're planning to take distributions from your policy in the future, understanding how to minimize years with minimal credits becomes crucial for maintaining consistent income. The analysis shows that a 50/50 or 55/45 split between capped and uncapped options produces a Sharpe ratio of 1.7, compared to 0.6-0.8 for direct S&P 500 investments. This demonstrates quantitatively why IUL serves as a non-correlated asset rather than direct market exposure. ___________________ Ready to optimize your IUL strategy or have questions about indexed universal life insurance? Contact us to discuss how these allocation strategies might work for your specific situation.
Derek Moore and Shane Skinner talk about the rally in gold no one seems to care about and the gold oil ratio. Then, they go through the indicators used to determine recessions and note they don't seem that bad, although nonfarm payrolls did disappoint. But private sector jobs are growing while the government jobs are falling, so are fed cuts greenlit? Later, looking at S&P 500 net income margin percentage average per decade. Yup, they've been rising each decade. Finally, looking at forward PE ratios against forward EPS and how some stocks like Broadcom got cheaper after last earnings. All this and much more!

Jim Welsh, author of “Macro Tides” and the “Weekly Technical Review,” says he thinks the stock market "is reaching an inflection point," saying that the next time the Standard & Poor's 500 makes new records but without support from the highs in the advance-decline line, he will take it as a sign that the stock market is about to roll over. Welsh says that several momentum indicators suggest a short-term decline could be between 3 and 7%, at which point he expects a bounce-back that lasts only until the economic concerns take hold. Welsh says a rise in layoffs would show that the market has gone from mild slowing to something more active, If job growth slows markedly "and we get to a point where the economy starts to meaningfully slow down, that is going to be the trigger for a much deeper and more prolonged decline." That drop, he says, could fulfill a 17-year cycle which would drop the S&P 500 by thousands of points. Rob Thummel, senior portfolio manager at Tortoise Capital, says that this is "the best time I have ever seen" in a three-decade career to be investing in energy.

Interest rates are likely to be cut this month, the employment picture looks to be weakening and tariff policy remains in flux.In this episode of The Native Angelino Podcast, I am joined by Adam Phillips, CFA of EP Wealth Advisors. We discuss equities, interest rates, gold, bitcoin, alternative investments and the current political climates impact on the Federal Reserve.Will an interest rate cut stimulate the housing market? What about in cities like Los Angeles where residential real estate prices far exceed national averages?Adam oversees portfolio strategy for his firm and provides insights on the current economic climate and outlook for the coming quarters.Chapters 00:00 Intro - Market Volatility and Economic Uncertainty 00:20 The Taco Trade 01:30 Tariffs and Their Economic Impact 04:30 Interest Rates and Federal Reserve Dynamics 07:09 Gold's Rise and Market Sentiment 09:45 EP Wealth Advisors 12:00 Real Estate and Client Portfolios 14:10 Interest Rates and Consumer Behavior 16:13 Market Valuations and Economic Disparities 17:36 Government Intervention and Market Dynamics 21:32 Digital Assets and Bitcoin's Role 27:00 Alternative Investments and Market Trends 33:05 Current Economic Focus and Fed Independence Summary - Priced For PerfectionIn this conversation, Adam Phillips and Tom Levine discuss various economic factors affecting the market, including interest rates, Federal Reserve policies, tariff policy, gold as a safe haven, real estate investment strategies, and the impact of digital assets. They explore the current state of the economy, the challenges posed by inflation, and the implications of government intervention in the market. The discussion also highlights the differences in investment perspectives between older and younger generations, as well as the importance of financial planning in navigating these uncertain times. Takeaways Market volatility is influenced by economic uncertainty and government policies. Interest rates are a critical factor in shaping market dynamics and investor behavior. Gold is viewed as a safe haven amidst geopolitical risks and inflation concerns. Real estate remains a significant asset for many clients, especially in high-value areas. Alternative investments are gaining traction as a means to diversify portfolios. Lower interest rates could stimulate housing demand but may not significantly impact high-net-worth clients. Market valuations are currently high, raising concerns about potential downside risks. Government intervention in markets raises questions about the future of economic stability. Digital assets like Bitcoin are becoming more mainstream but remain highly speculative. Younger investors are more open to alternative investments compared to older generations.

Options trading entails significant risk and is not appropriate for all investors. Customers must read and understand the Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options before considering any options strategy. Options investors can rapidly lose the value of their investment in a short period of time and incur permanent loss by expiration date. Certain complex options strategies carry additional risk, including the potential for losses that may exceed the original investment amount, and are only available for qualified customers. Index options have special features and fees that should be carefully considered, including settlement, exercise, expiration, tax, and cost characteristics. See Fee Schedule for all options trading fees. There are additional costs associated with option strategies that call for multiple purchases and sales of options, such as spreads, straddles, among others, as compared with a single option trade. Rebate rates vary monthly from $0.06-$0.18 and depend on the particular security, whether the trade was placed via API, as well as your current and prior month's options trading volume.

In this episode of Beer and Money, Ryan Burklo and Alex Collins discuss the three most common portfolio mistakes they encounter with clients. They emphasize the importance of understanding asset classes, avoiding over-concentration in US large stocks, and ensuring proper diversification to mitigate risks. The conversation highlights the significance of a balanced investment strategy and the need for clients to be aware of their portfolio's composition and associated risks. Check out our website: beerandmoney.net For a quick assessment of your current financial life go to: https://www.livingbalancesheet.com/lbsVision/lite/RyanBurklo Takeaways Clients often over-concentrate their investments in US large stocks. Many investors are unaware of the overlap in their mutual funds. Diversification is essential to manage risk effectively. Understanding asset classes can lead to better investment decisions. Investing should not be based solely on past performance. Proper portfolio construction can enhance returns without increasing risk. Clients often do not realize the risks associated with their portfolios. The S&P 500 is heavily influenced by a few large tech companies. Investors should look forward, not just at past performance. A balanced portfolio is crucial for long-term success.

On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan welcomes value investor Tobias Carlisle back to the show. Tobias is the founder and portfolio manager of Acquirers Funds, a deep-value investment firm. He's also an author and host of the Acquirers Podcast. Tobias kicks things off by discussing the "happy hunting ground" in small-cap stocks, the market narrowing in the S&P 500 Index, and the massive amounts of capital flowing into AI. He also compares the AI mania today with the dot-com boom of the late '90s, questions how AI is making money, and notes that the bottom 490 stocks in the S&P 500 have been in a "little recession" since 2022. He says this gives value investors an opportunity right now to get great names for cheap before the inevitable rebound.
