In this episode, Robert breaks down why the most exciting trades are often the most dangerous and how extreme leverage can quietly turn short-term wins into long-term disasters. He explains why good trading is usually boring, how risk structure matters more than intelligence, and what habits help investors survive volatile markets without blowing up their accounts. Robert also discusses how he thinks about leverage, options sizing, and portfolio ballast, shares his perspective on recent market turbulence across tech and crypto, and answers a listener question on what a potential shift at the Federal Reserve could mean for markets. The episode closes with a look at where opportunity may be emerging after sharp corrections and why patience often pays when volatility spikes.
Tech stocks led a rebound on Wall Street as investors awaited key economic data, while Treasuries were choppy after a move by China added pressure to the bond market.

In commodities, precious metals rose as the US dollar slipped, while oil prices climbed more than 1% after the US urged caution for vessels near Iran.

The S&P 500 software services index gained as Shares of service almost 3%, while Salesforce and CrowdStrike gained 1.2% and 3.1% respectively. In other economic news this week, investors will also be monitoring the January non-farm payrolls report out on Wednesday, which was delayed by a partial US government shutdown and the must anticipated January consumer price index, out on Friday. What to watch today:Following US equities, the Australian market is set to rise 0.35% at the open, according to the SPI futures. In Bell Potter's latest research, the broker has lowered their price target on Sonic Healthcare (ASX:SHL), cautioning ahead of the H1 results set to be released on the 19th, however have maintained their Buy rating, noting the primary growth driver should be the acquired growth in the pathology business and that while their EBITDA estimate is in line with consensus, their margins are higher than consensus due to a lower revenue estimate. Bell Potter also released a Buy rating on REA Group (ASX:REA) and lowered their 12-month price target to $211. At the current share price of $168.10, this implies 25.5% share price growth in a year. So far this reporting season, 13 companies have reported results, with 3 beating analyst expectations, 5 in line with expectations and 5 missing expectations. Today Amotiv (ASX:AOV) and Computershare (ASX:CPU) are set to report today. And Gold has topped $5,000 an ounce, and the US dollar fell. Oil is up to US$64.29. US President Trump struck optimism over the negotiations with Iran regarding a potential deal on defusing Iran's uranium enrichment capabilities. Oil prices had soared in previous weeks after the escalating tensions between both countries drove markets to consider the risk of the US enforcing sanctions on Iranian oil to a greater extent.

Earnings and Big Tech remain in focus, with Alphabet beating Wall Street's expectations but causing some investors to take flight in the wake of projected capex spending. The rotation out of tech stocks continued on Wednesday - the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.5%. China's Hong Kong-listed technology stocks slid overnight with the Hang Seng Tech Index now 20% below its October peak. The threat of VAT increases being imposed on internet platforms exacerbated the move. The ECB and the Bank of England are both expected to keep rates on hold today. With investors hypnotised by swings in gold and silver prices this year, it's easy to lose sight of oil and natural gas markets. In light of the current geopolitical tensions impacting these markets, Norbert Rücker, Head of Economics and Next Generation Research joins the podcast to put things in perspective.(00:00) - Introduction: Roman Canziani, Head of Product & Investment Content (00:38) - Markets wrap-up: Bernadette Anderko, Product & Investment Content (05:58) - Oil and Gas: Norbert Rücker, Head of Macro & Next Generation Research (12:01) - Closing remarks: Roman Canziani, Head of Product & Investment Content Would you like to support this show?

Today's live YouTube Chat Q&A covers the full spectrum—earnings season takeaways, the selloff-to-rebound pattern, and the big debate around Big Tech, AI, and margins. We walk through where tech and AI leadership stand now, whether AI is pressuring software profitability, and the “real world” constraint markets may be underpricing: power demand (including what ERCOT could mean for data-center expansion). We also hit the energy transition angle—why wind/solar intermittency matters, the critical minerals push, and why fundamentals still matter when narratives run hot. On the positioning side, we discuss whether metals look oversold, how to think about “rebound rallies,” and why investor discipline (process, rebalancing, and risk controls) beats chasing headlines. Finally, we shift to planning questions that come up constantly in the chat: Medicare timing (age 65 vs. later), enrolling in your 70s, key pitfalls with Medicare Advantage, and how COBRA fits into the transition. 0:00 - INTRO 0:19- Earnings Season Recap 4:05 - Markets Sell off to Rebound 9:05 - Tech Stocks & AI - Where are We? 10:17 - Is AI Destroying Software Profit Margins? 16:26 - Will ERCOT Pump the Brakes of Data Centers? 19:22 - Wind & Solar Are Not Consistent or Reliable 20:42 - The Critical Mineral Push 22:33 - Fundamentals Matter a Lot 24:19 - Are Metals Over Sold? 27:41 - Investor Discipline & Having a Plan 29:10 - This was Not a Forced Manipulation 30:45 - Leverage on Bitcoin 31:47 - Jumping on Medicare at age 65? 38:44 - Signing Up for Medicare in 70's 40:32 - Be Careful with Medicare Advantage 42:56 - The Thing About COBRA Hosted by RIA Advisors Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO, w Senior Investment Advisor, Danny Ratliff, CFP Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Register for our next Candid Coffee, 2/21/26: https://streamyard.com/watch/Wq3Yvn9ny5GV ------- Watch Today's Full Video on our YouTube Channel: ------- Watch our previous show, "The Trap of Chasing Returns," here: https://youtube.com/live/sKXpfWf8oRs?feature=share -------- The latest installment of our new feature, Before the Bell, "Dip Buyers Step In" is here: https://youtu.be/EY04EexrThs ------- Visit our E-book Library (no library card required!) https://realinvestmentadvice.com/ria-e-guide-library/ -------- SUBSCRIBE to The Real Investment Show here: http://www.youtube.com/c/TheRealInvestmentShow -------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #StockMarket #SectorRotation #RiskManagement #ReflationTrade #PortfolioRebalancing #BuyTheDip #EarningsSeason #ArtificialIntelligence #BigTech #RiskManagement #Medicare
The Aussie market pushed higher for a second session, showing remarkable resilience by bucking a negative lead from Wall Street. While US indices retreated, the ASX 200 climbed as the Materials and Energy sectors did the heavy lifting. Gold miners were the standout performers after bullion prices surged, and BHP hit a fresh all-time high. However, it was a "sea of red" for the Tech sector, which slumped to its lowest level in two years. Software giant Xero plummeted to a multi-year low as fears intensified over AI disrupting traditional software models, and elsewhere Synlait Milk also crashed following a massive profit warning.

MONEY FM 89.3 - Prime Time with Howie Lim, Bernard Lim & Finance Presenter JP Ong
Singapore shares nudged higher today as investors mull the US Federal Reserve’s move to hold interest rates as expected. The Straits Times Index was up 0.15% at 4,916.55 points at 1.31pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$918.03M seen in the broader market. In terms of counters to watch, we have Sembcorp Industries, after the company said yesterday that its wholly owned subsidiary Sembcorp Power will supply memory chip giant Micron with an additional 150 megawatts of power to support a new Woodlands plant in capturing artificial intelligence demand. Elsewhere from how investors are making sense of earnings out of Microsoft and Meta, to how June is seen as the next likely window for a Federal Reserve rate cut, more corporate and international headlines remained in focus. Also on deck, how a report by The Information revealed that NVIDIA, Amazon and Microsoft are in talks to invest up to US$60 billion in OpenAI. On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian dived into the details with David Chow, Director, Azure Capital.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
US equity markets settled narrowly mixed as investors absorbed another busy corporate earnings calendar - Dow edged +56-points or +0.11% higher, with International Business Machines Corp (IBM) rising +5.13% to be the leading performer in the 30-stock index after posting stronger-than-expected fourth quarter EPS and revenue after the close of the previous session. Microsoft Corp tumbled -9.99% and recorded worst daily performance since March 2020 following the release of the company's fourth quarter result after the close of the previous session, with investors seemingly unnerved by record spending on artificial intelligence (AI) last quarter.

Financial Times columnist Gillian Tett predicted that the Magnificent 7 tech stocks were not going to fall, but they wouldn't ride a lot higher either in 2025. What actually happened was a bit of a mixed bag, and Gillian says that sets these companies up for diverging paths in 2026. The era of an artificial intelligence tide lifting all boats seems to be drawing to an end.

Is your portfolio making a big bet on the Magnificent Seven? Mega-cap names like Nvidia, Alphabet, and Apple belong to the exclusive club that has largely driven US returns higher in recent years. Their success has led to market concentration. Portfolios tracking broad benchmarks have seen their diversification decrease and risk increase. How can you prepare your portfolio to absorb potential shocks? And where are the opportunities beyond the Mag Seven? Morningstar Holland's Chief European Market Strategist Michael Field is one of the researchers who investigated this.Beyond the Magnificent Seven: Unlocking Value in a Concentrated Stock MarketOn this episode:00:00:00 Welcome00:01:49 The Magnificent Seven's strong returns have benefited many investors. Why is their dominance a risk?00:02:07 Your team highlighted a noteworthy stat in the report. The top 10 US stocks make up about 35% of the overall market. That's almost double from a decade ago. What does that signal to you?00:02:39 Can you explain what the hidden cost of market concentration is?00:03:07 If the top stocks hold so much of the gains, where does that leave the rest of the market?00:03:41 Let's focus on key periods of market concentration. How does the current environment compare to the dot-com bubble?00:04:11 And what about now versus the global financial crisis?00:04:40 What if investors pulled back due to market concentration concerns in the last decade? Why would that have backfired?00:05:51 How can investors manage the risk of market concentration in their portfolios?00:05:50 Morningstar has identified investment opportunities for 2026. Why does the team favor US small caps over US large caps?00:06:59 Another opportunity is the healthcare sector. What companies do Morningstar analysts think could fend off the competition for 10 years or more?00:07:35 Morningstar encourages international diversification.

A shift in mindset can help investors cope with market uncertainty.2025 was a case study in the futility of trying to predict the market. Wall Street had lofty expectations for stocks entering the year. Then the tariff shock in April rattled the markets and many firms lowered their annual stock forecasts in response. They later raised them—after stock prices rebounded. With the new year on the horizon, Morningstar's 2026 Global Outlook report is offering investors tactics to weather whatever the future may hold.Morningstar strategists and an analyst will discuss key challenges facing investors in 2026 in our series. Dan Kemp, the chief research and investment officer with Morningstar Investment Management Europe, is one of the major driving forces behind the report.We're going to dig into research analyzing the AI arms race and its worldwide buildout. A team of Morningstar researchers have investigated the spending and the risks. Morningstar Research Services' senior equity analyst Brian Colello was part of the effort. Brian also covers Nvidia. He discusses the AI king's outlook, competition, and stock.AI Arms Race: How Tech's Capital Surge Will Reshape the Investment Landscape in 2026 On this episode:00:36:00 Welcome00:01:48 We typically talk about your Markets Brief column, but today we're focusing on “Morningstar's 2026 Global Investment Outlook.” The theme is “preparing for what comes next.” What will investors looking for ways to cope with uncertainty find in this in-depth report? 00:02:35 What makes Morningstar's outlook different from other companies? 00:03:21You've written about how a few ideas from the global investment report resonated with you. What are they, and why? 00:05:01 As we wrap up our conversation, what's a lesson from 2025 that you want investors to take into 2026?00:07:13 Big Tech companies are spending hundreds of billions of dollars on the global construction boom. Where'sthe money going, and how does this spending compare to other sectors like energy? 00:08:20 This massive buildout comes with execution and cost risks. What's at stake if hyperscalers underestimate these challenges? 00:09:54 How is AI affecting sector valuations? How does it compare to the tech bubble in the late 1990s? 00:12:18 Morningstar believes many investors are already heavily exposed to AI due to Big Tech's size in broad stock indexes. How can folks counteract that? 00:14:31Let's pivot to the AI industry leader, Nvidia. The chipmaker's stock took a big hit when DeepSeek arrived in January. Nvidia became the world's first $5 trillion company in October. What are your thoughts about the year Nvidia is having? 00:17:20 Rival chipmaker Moore Threads recently made its market debut in China. What would it mean for Nvidia if China comes out with more advanced chips? 00:20:12 Interest is growing in Alphabet's AI chips.
