Bitcoin traders "adopted SLV and GLD as their meme stocks," says George Noble. He attributes the rise of retail interest in the metal space to their profound volatility. That said, George tells investors, "don't pay attention to the daily volatility," noting both silver and gold are up double digits so far in 2026. As traders see silver as a play in AI and EVs, George makes the case that if prices go up so much, builders will just turn to other metals. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Expect volatility to stay, says Adam Coons. He makes the case that policy to come will continue to build on uncertainty and lead to a stock picker's market. One of Adam's stock picks: LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMHF), as the most wealthy consumers continue to spend on high-value items. He also points to Alphabet (GOOGL), Apple (AAPL), and CrowdStrike (CRWD) as three stocks to gain 20% or more as the "next AI winners."======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Off the heels of last week's volatile swings in the market, including the Dow Jones Industrial Average surpassing 50k for the first time, Bob Lang provides his investing roadmap for the rest of 2026. Bob points to names like Walmart (WMT) hitting all-time highs ahead of earnings as a potential sign for more rockiness ahead. "I do think volatility is going to be with us for some time," Bob adds. For opportunities, he looks to energy. Bob says demand remains strong for gas & oil while pointing to the geopolitical uncertainties taking place in Venezuela & Iran. For the metals trade, Bob thinks gold & silver have "gotten a little extended" saying he's taking a more cautious approach. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest-running podcast in compliance. In this episode,  host Tom Fox welcomes Anik Shah, Director & Senior Legal Counsel at Sandisk, for an insightful discussion about the pivotal changes and enforcement actions around the FCPA in 2025 and their implications for 2026. In 2025, Anik Shah, a preeminent authority on FCPA and anti-corruption enforcement, offers a strategic perspective on the evolving compliance landscape. Given the recent uncertainties following an executive order and the dismissal of high-profile cases, Shah underscores the necessity for companies to maintain robust anti-bribery and anti-corruption controls, especially with potential reprioritization by the Department of Justice. He advocates a proactive risk management approach, emphasizing the importance of third-party risk management and comprehensive training to anticipate and mitigate potential FCPA issues. As enforcement focus shifts toward addressing cartel and transnational criminal organization activities, Shah advises companies to integrate anti-money laundering processes into their compliance strategies to align with global anti-corruption efforts. Key highlights: 2025 FCPA Enforcement Shifts and Uncertainty Voluntary Self-Disclosure Policy Revolution in 2025 Cartel Risk Mitigation through Compliance Integration Central Asia Construction Projects: Anti-Corruption Measures Proactive Measures: Fostering Anti-Corruption Compliance Awareness Resources: Anik Shah on LinkedIn Sandisk Tom Fox Instagram Facebook YouTube Twitter LinkedIn Returning to Venezuela on Amazon.com Learn more about your ad choices.

  This Weekend Show pairs Brien Lundin (Gold Newsletter) with Cory & Shad's MarketQuick Take to unpack the same question from two angles: was the...

This week felt like a free fall at times, the kind of tape that makes you question everything, and then the market turned around and finished Friday on a much better note. In this episode, James breaks down what happened, why weeks like this are exactly when investor behavior matters most, and how to keep your decision making grounded when headlines and intraday swings get loud.One of the biggest takeaways is a classic reminder from legendary investor Peter Lynch: the most important organ for an investor is not your brain, it is your stomach. Anyone can find a great company on a green day. The real test is whether you can stick with your plan when markets drop fast, sentiment turns negative, and fear starts writing the narrative.James also asks a tough question: did you sell this week? If the market ended the week barely in the red, or even close to flat, but you reacted like it was the end of the world, it might be worth stepping back and reassessing your approach. Investing is not about guessing the next headline. It is about building conviction in what you own, understanding why you own it, and having a process you can follow when volatility spikes.A key lesson James reinforces is that a company's share price does not tell you how good the company is. Price is simply what buyers and sellers agree on right now. Great businesses can have brutal weeks. Weak businesses can have strong weeks. The job is to separate business quality from market mood.We also talk about a major milestone: the Dow Jones closed above 50,000 for the first time ever, despite an extremely volatile week. That matters because the Dow is not dominated by the same high growth names as the Nasdaq. It can be a signal that money is rotating into more risk aware, steady parts of the market when investors get uneasy.Volatility is part of the story too. Since COVID, big intraday moves, even 2% swings, have become a lot less rare, and James explains why that changes how investors should think about risk, position sizing, and conviction.Then we zoom out to the fear gauge assets: gold and silver, which often get attention when investors are anxious, plus oil prices and what a healthy range can look like for the broader economy.Finally, James shares a potential opportunity in the space theme: the Procure Space ETF, ticker UFO, a basket of companies tied to the space economy. Think satellites, launch providers, and the infrastructure around space based tech. We touch on why this theme is worth watching, and how ETFs like UFO can provide exposure to names people associate with the space race, including holdings like Planet Labs, Rocket Labs, Viasat, Garmin, etc. All Information is educational in its intent and distribution!

Gold and silver just lived through another roller-coaster week, with sharp silver price swings masking what's really happening underneath the surface. Physical supply continues to tighten globally, while speculative excess gets shaken out in dramatic fashion. Big-picture signals—from exchange inventories to global capital flows—suggest this bullion bull market is far from finished. Listen to see the data, charts, and context that explain why these moves matter and what could come next. Extreme price volatility and speculation in silver and gold The podcast details sharp swings in silver prices, heavy options speculation, leveraged positioning, and the role of futures markets and ETFs in amplifying short-term moves. Tightening physical bullion supply and market stress signals A major focus is the ongoing drawdown of silver inventories in China, rising lease rates in London, backwardation, and reports of silver bullion shortages from dealers worldwide. Long-term macro and relative-value case for bullion The update ties precious metals to bigger trends like currency debasement, capital flows, and declining confidence in fiat systems, using gold-to-stocks and gold-to-housing ratios to show why bullion may continue outperforming traditional assets.

Precious metals had an incredible run in 2025, and early 2026 continued the momentum. But what we've just seen is something very few investors were prepared for: 20–40% pullbacks in gold, silver, platinum, and palladium in a matter of days.In this episode, Gabriel Shahin, CFP®, breaks down what's really happening in the commodities and precious metals markets, why the volatility has been more extreme than equities, and—most importantly—what investors should not be doing right now.What we cover in this episode: • Why gold, silver, platinum, and palladium surged in 2025 • The real reasons behind the recent sharp pullbacks • Why chasing precious metals after massive gains is dangerous • Gold vs silver vs platinum vs palladium—what's actually driving demand • The role of dollar devaluation, central banks, and geopolitics • How AI, solar, hydrogen, and EVs affect metals differently • Why metals move in trends—and why investors keep buying at the wrong time • The truth about “gold to $10,000” narratives • How fear, headlines, and social media fuel bad investment decisionsPrecious metals are not magic investments. They are volatile, cyclical, and often driven by emotion—not fundamentals. Buying after massive run-ups and during hysteria is how long-term wealth gets destroyed.A small allocation can make sense. Betting your future on commodities because of FOMO does not.This episode is a reality check for anyone feeling tempted to chase gold or metals after headline gains. Volatility cuts both ways—and discipline always matters more than excitement.Stay diversified. Stay rational. And don't gamble with decades of hard work.

In this episode, Tony and Derrick open with a practical warning about identity theft and financial fraud, sharing real client stories and simple steps you can take today, including changing passwords, freezing credit, and using identity monitoring services.They then shift into recent market volatility, breaking down gold and silver swings, Bitcoin's technical patterns, and the surprising connection to the McRib. The conversation explores why timing matters, why emotional reactions hurt returns, and how long-term ownership differs from short-term speculation.The episode closes with an honest discussion about today's new investors, instant gratification versus steady strategy, and why having a plan, setting limits, and avoiding panic are essential when markets move quickly.This is a straightforward, real-world conversation about protecting your finances and staying grounded during uncertain markets.

Chuck Zodda and Mike Armstrong dissect a violent tech-led selloff as the Nasdaq slides toward correction territory, commodities swing wildly, and investors confront the fallout from leverage and AI-era speculation. The hour also covers skepticism around Fed nominee Kevin Warsh, how workers should realistically adapt to AI disruption, retirement portfolio risk management in volatile markets, and why Peloton's collapse is a warning about hype-driven business models.

Arnim Holzer points to a structural change in market volatility in the wake of "unorthodox" policies and elevated valuations impacting sensitivity of market moves. He adds that diversification strategies need to change, saying this environment will not act like historical correlations between bonds and stocks.

Welcome to Top of Mind with Consilio Wealth!Hao Dang and Alex Dorell kick off 2026 with a timely market update, breaking down a volatile start to the year driven by political headlines, tariff uncertainty, and shifting interest rate expectations. They discuss why international markets outperformed in 2025, how currency swings boosted global returns, and what a weaker U.S. dollar could mean for investors ahead.The episode also explores today's K-shaped economy, where higher-income consumers continue to spend while other segments face growing pressure. Hao and Alex unpack what's happening with Fed policy, bond markets, and government deficits — and why not all market swings signal deeper economic trouble. They close with their outlook for the rest of 2026, including valuations, diversification, and the risks of too much consensus on Wall Street.We discuss: ➡️ A volatile start to 2026 and renewed market swings ➡️ International outperformance and the impact of currency move ➡️ Tariffs, Treasury yields, and shifting “safe haven” trends ➡️ Fed policy vs. market-driven interest rates ➡️ The K-shaped economy and changing consumer behavior ➡️ Manufacturing vs. services and what PMI data is showing ➡️ Market valuations and the danger of consensus forecasts ➡️ Why diversification still matters in an unpredictable year

Think you want that silky-smooth Keepa chart with stable pricing and thousands of units flying off the shelf every month?   Think again.   In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy finally share the data they've been sitting on, real numbers that prove what they've been doing and teaching for years: slower-moving products are where the opportunity actually lives for small sellers.   Here's what nobody tells you: Those "perfect" high-velocity listings? That's where opportunity goes to die. Meanwhile, the big players can't operate in the space you can. Volatility is their enemy. But for the agile seller? It's your greatest competitive advantage.   Brian breaks down the actual pricing spread data across velocity bands, explains why "messy" charts signal profit zones (not danger zones), and reveals how to read Keepa like a treasure map instead of a warning sign.   In this episode: Why faster velocity = tighter pricing zones = no room to operate The data showing 30-35% pricing spreads in slower-moving products How to use "capital protection" to test listings with confidence The Alex Hormozi video game analogy that reframes failure as mastery What Thomas Edison knew about opportunity that most sellers miss   Ready to stop competing where the big guys dominate and start playing where they can't?   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Can Jeff help me with trademarks and LLC establishment?"

Silver crashed! Today we focus on a historic bout of volatility in precious metals following months of extreme, unhealthy gains. We figure out if the selloff was driven by the announcement of a new Fed chair or severe technical overextension, crowded positioning that triggered profit-taking, shorting, and forced de-risking. We also talked the implications of a potentially growth-leaning but inflation-conscious Fed, ongoing structural risks like debt, deficits, and sticky inflation, and why monetary policy alone can't solve them. We reviewed the January market performance, and noticed strength in energy, materials, commodities, and international equities versus lagging tech and software. Markets are rotating regimes, not ending trends, and investors should focus on risk management, diversification, and long-term planning rather than reacting emotionally to short-term chaos. We discuss... We unpacked a historic spike in precious-metals volatility, with silver experiencing extreme, record-level swings after months of unsustainably rapid gains. The Fed chair news was described as a "match, not the bonfire," triggering a correction that was already statistically inevitable at extreme standard deviations. Volatility selling, options hedging, and large institutional short positioning likely amplified the downside move in silver. The gold-silver ratio had reached stretched levels, making a snapback or rebalancing between gold and silver unavoidable. Despite the violent correction, the broader precious-metals bull trend was viewed as intact rather than broken. Gold was described as healthier than silver due to steady institutional and central-bank buying. We covered how computers, systematic strategies, and risk managers now dominate market mechanics at volatility extremes. Rate cuts may come sooner than expected, but structural issues like debt, deficits, and sticky inflation remain unresolved. Markets so far reacted modestly outside of commodities, suggesting rotation rather than systemic stress. Energy and commodities were highlighted as key areas to watch in an inflation-sensitive environment. International equities significantly outperformed U.S. markets, reinforcing the case for global diversification. A small bank failure highlighted lingering credit and balance-sheet risks despite limited systemic impact. Midterm election seasonality was discussed as a potential source of higher volatility and uneven returns.   Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | Mergent College Advisors Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast For more information, visit the show notes at https://moneytreepodcast.com/silver-crashed-787  

Michael speaks with Gregory Brew, Senior Analyst at the Eurasia Group and country analyst for Iran, about the high-stakes decision facing the Islamic Republic: "strikes or talks." Greg analyzes the upcoming diplomatic summit in Istanbul, where the U.S. is pushing for "maximalist concessions" regarding Iran's nuclear program, ballistic missile stockpile, and regional proxy networks like Hamas and Hezbollah. Greg also discusses the strategic leverage of the recent U.S. naval buildup in the Middle East and whether these talks are a deliberate pretext for military action against Tehran. Greg also breaks down Iran's internal "credibility crisis" and the future of regional stability. 

After a quiet data week and a loud political signal, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist, and Sonu Varghese, VP, Global Macro Strategist at Carson Group, dig into what a potential Fed leadership shakeup could mean for rates, markets, and investor expectations. With Kevin Warsh emerging as the likely next Fed chair, the discussion cuts past headlines to examine his long history at the Fed, his shifting stance on inflation and rate cuts, and why markets may be less willing to take his guidance at face value. It's been one of the most volatile stretches for metals in decades, as gold and silver experience sharp pullbacks after a historic run. Ryan and Sonu break down why positioning and sentiment mattered more than headlines, and along the way, they connect the dots between capital-intensive tech investment, the emerging commodity supercycle, and why earnings strength continues to underpin equities despite leadership rotation and policy noise.Key Takeaways:Fed leadership uncertainty adds friction, not clarity: Kevin Warsh's record reveals a pattern of convenient pivots that may limit his influence over a skeptical committee Rate cuts face structural resistance: Markets are pricing fewer long-term cuts as capital investment and nominal growth keep upward pressure on rates Metals volatility was about positioning, not fundamentals: Extreme bullish sentiment set the stage for sharp pullbacks despite intact long-term trends Gold and silver require sizing, not timing: Volatility, correlations, and rebalancing matter more than chasing short-term price moves Earnings continue to justify the bull market: Strong margins, industrial strength, and resilient consumer spending support risk assets even as leadership rotatesJump to:0:00 - Setting The Stage: No Jobs Data1:06 - Who Is Kevin Warsh4:30 - Warsh's Crisis-Era Record9:10 - Politics, Hawks, And Rate-Cut Reality14:20 - Balance Sheet Beliefs Challenged19:45 - Gold And Silver's Wild Swing25:40 - How To Own Metals Wisely31:10 - From Software To Capex Supercycle36:50 - Productivity, Labor, And Rates41:30 - Fun Signals: Super Bowl And January46:05 - Earnings, Margins, And MomentumConnect with Ryan:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryandetrick/• X: https://x.com/RyanDetrickConnect with Sonu:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonu-varghese-phd/• X: https://x.com/sonusvarghese?lang=enQuestions about the show?

Simeon Hyman attributes the continuing sell-off on Wednesday in part to the bar being set so high for this earnings season. That said, he sees opportunity as the market broadens, particularly through small cap exposure and ETFs tied to the trade. Simeon also talks about the silver trade through ETFs and how to brace for future metal volatility. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

On today's FreightWaves Morning Minute, we discuss how severe winter weather and rising tender rejections are creating unprecedented volatility in the truckload spot market. With the National Truckload Index climbing to $2.71 per mile, the current capacity crunch signals a fundamentally different environment for carriers compared to previous years. As congestion on Interstate 35 worsens, operators of the SH 130 toll road are intensifying efforts to attract cross-border freight away from Austin traffic. Tractor-trailer volume on the bypass has surged 68% since 2019 as the route positions itself as a reliable alternative for U.S.-Mexico trade flows. In maritime news, Ocean Network Express reported an $88 million net loss for the third quarter due to softer freight volumes and weaker rates. Executives attributed the decline to a challenging operating landscape, particularly regarding slow cargo movement on Asia-North America trade routes.

Katy Kaminski joins us to assess the early signals shaping markets in 2026. The conversation explores the resurgence of commodity trends, the role of volatility estimation, and why diversification across markets and speeds matters more than ever. Drawing on new research, they examine dispersion within the CTA universe, the limits of replication, and how volatility targeting quietly determines outcomes. From precious metals to currencies, from crisis alpha to geopolitical risk, this episode offers a grounded look at why trend following thrives during disruption and why regime change remains its natural habitat.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Katy on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps:00:00 - Introduction to the Systematic Investor Series00:39 - Weather disruptions and market perspective02:31 - Precious metals and extreme commodity moves04:28 - Gold, central banks, and monetary regime shifts07:43 - Replication versus full CTA diversification09:47 - Liquidity differences across metals12:03 - Metals leading trend performance in 202615:01 - Multi-sector trends and diversification benefits20:13 - Media attention and the return of trend following23:29 - Research insights on speed and dispersion31:44 - Trend speed and timing tradeoffs40:59 - Market concentration and narrow universes43:19 - Volatility estimation as a hidden...
