The 2026 PDAC convention in Toronto served as a wake-up call for the mining industry. While attendance reached record highs, the market's behavior has shifted from the broad "rising tide" of previous years to a much more selective, volatile environment. This week, we sit down with Brian Leni (Junior Stock Review) and Dave Erfle (Junior Miner Junky) to discuss why the "smart money" is moving away from lifestyle juniors and toward high-conviction developers in gold, silver, and copper. Segment 1 & 2 - I kick off the show with Brian Leni, the founder and editor of the Junior Stock Review and host of Field Notes on YouTube. Leni provides a recap of the PDAC conference in Toronto and analyzes current market volatility while sharing his specific investment strategies for high-quality developers and explorers in the gold, silver, and copper sectors. Click here to visit the Junior Stock Review website to keep up to date on what Brian is investing in - https://www.juniorstockreview.com/   Segment 3 & 4 -  Dave Erfle, founder and editor of the Junior Miner Junky, wraps up the show sharing takeaways from the PDAC conference and the current investment landscape. Erfle highlights the extreme volatility in precious metals, emphasizing the importance of betting on successful management teams and high-quality projects as the market navigates geopolitical uncertainty and the potential for a "PDAC curse" correction.

STR Investor Sentiment Report 2026: Where Smart Money Is Buying NextWhat are short-term rental investors really thinking right now? In a market defined by higher rates, elevated home prices, and shifting demand, the real story isn't fear — it's selectivity.In this episode of The STR Data Lab, Jamie and Bram unpack AirDNA's first-ever STR Investor Sentiment Survey — a deep dive into the motivations, barriers, and strategies shaping short-term rental investment in 2026. With nearly 650 respondents (from first-time buyers to 10+ property operators), the data reveals a surprisingly resilient investor mindset. Cash flow — not appreciation, not tax advantages — is the dominant motivation. And experienced operators? They're not retreating. They're doubling down.From financing trends and regulatory concerns to where capital is flowing next, this episode breaks down what separates cautious observers from confident buyers. Whether you're looking to scale, buy your first STR, or pressure-test your strategy, this conversation offers a grounded, data-backed look at where the industry is headed.You don't want to miss this one.Key TakeawaysCash flow is king. The primary motivation for new investors isn't flipping or appreciation — it's recurring income and long-term revenue stability.Experience builds confidence. The more properties an investor owns, the more likely they are to buy again in the next 12 months.Regulation becomes real at scale. First-time investors worry about prices. Seasoned operators worry about policy risk and demand durability.Interest rates matter — but they're not the deal-breaker. Sentiment is split, but rate anxiety isn't stopping committed buyers.Location strategy evolves over time. New investors gravitate toward familiar urban and coastal markets. Experienced operators target durable demand drivers like mountain, lake, and national park destinations.AirDNA Investor Sentimenthttps://www.airdna.co/short-term-rental-investor-survey—————Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

What if the real AI opportunity in 2026 isn’t in the stocks everyone already owns? In this episode, hosted by Michelle Martin, we explore whether the crowded “AI Builder” trade is reaching diminishing returns and where capital could rotate next. Guest Raisah Rasid, Vice President, Global Market Strategist, JP Morgan Asset Management, maps out under-owned sectors quietly integrating AI for margin expansion. We examine how traditionally low-margin industries could see profitability leap as automation scales. With Trump’s global tariff rate rising from 10% to 15%, we unpack what Asia’s calm reaction - including the STI’s resilience - is signaling. We also look at how investors can diversify away from mega-cap concentration without losing AI exposure. Finally, we ask what contrarian AI view could define the rest of 2026.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How does a regular mum build a 1,000+ member community and become a crypto coach in under a year? Most people think you need a finance degree or a tech background to pivot this hard. Lidya Veronika proved them wrong. In this episode, I'm sitting down with Lidya—a mother of two and a proud MomBoss Academy Alumni—to talk about how she went from hospitality entrepreneur to a leading voice in the crypto space.

In this episode, the panel discusses bearish crypto sentiment, Bitcoin's sideways trading in the mid-60k range, and ongoing confusion between Bitcoin and altcoins/scams. They reflect on a heated Macro Monday debate, stress Bitcoin's unique hard-money properties, address PR/education challenges, institutional hurdles (quantum FUD, advisor views), institutional distrust amplified by Epstein files, stablecoin vs. Bitcoin tensions, and regulatory outlook (Clarity Act prospects). Despite widespread fear, many argue Bitcoin is quietly bottoming— a candid macro-crypto conversation on education, tribalism, and long-term potential.

You can now bet on inflation, elections, interest rates, wars, and whether the Fed blinks—and people are calling it “information,” not gambling. This week on The Pete the Planner Show, we dig into prediction markets: what they are, why they've exploded in popularity, and what they really tell us about the economy, politics, and our collective anxiety about the future. Platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi claim that markets can forecast the future better than polls, experts, or pundits. But can they actually predict what's going to happen—or are they just pricing fear, confidence, and narrative momentum? In this episode, we break down: How prediction markets work (in plain English) Why they sometimes outperform polls—and when they completely fall apart The role of incentives, emotion, and thin liquidity Why “probability” often gets mistaken for “certainty” What prediction markets get dangerously wrong during volatile moments Most importantly, we translate all of this into real life. Because while betting on the future can feel productive, it often replaces the boring, effective work of financial planning. If your financial plan requires you to correctly predict elections, rate cuts, or recessions… your plan is already broken. This episode isn't about whether prediction markets are legal, smart, or fun. It's about what they reveal: not about the future—but about us. Because fear has always been a terrible financial advisor.
