Biotech is one of the few areas in investing where specialized knowledge may still generate persistent alpha. In this episode of Excess Returns, D.A. Wallach, venture capitalist and co-founder of Time BioVentures, joins us to explain how biotech investing works, why development-stage drug companies behave like portfolios of options, and why specialist investors play such a large role in this market. We also explore the cycles that have driven biotech performance, the impact of interest rates and capital flows, and how AI and global competition may reshape the industry in the years ahead.D.A. Wallach – Twitterhttps://x.com/DAWallachTopics covered include• Why biotech may be one of the last areas where specialist investors can generate persistent alpha• The “bag of options” framework for valuing development-stage biotech companies• How probabilities of drug success and clinical base rates drive biotech valuations• Why rising interest rates hit biotech stocks harder than many other sectors• How capital flows and investor narratives create boom-and-bust cycles in biotech• What happened to biotech during the pandemic surge and the post-COVID downturn• Why AI and tech narratives compete with biotech for investor attention• The role of specialist biotech hedge funds in the public markets• How large pharmaceutical companies drive returns through biotech acquisitions• Differences between biotech venture capital and traditional tech venture investing• How venture investors evaluate drug development programs and scientific evidence• Portfolio construction and diversification when investing in highly uncertain biotech companies• The emerging role of China in clinical trials and global drug development• Whether AI can improve drug discovery, clinical trials, and pharmaceutical R&D productivity• Why investors should avoid rigid value vs growth ideologies and stay adaptableTimestamps00:00 Why biotech investing requires specialized knowledge01:40 Is biotech one of the last places for persistent active alpha?02:45 The “bag of options” model for valuing biotech companies05:00 Drug development phases and probabilities of success07:00 Using base rates to estimate clinical trial success09:20 Estimating total addressable markets for new drugs11:10 Why rising interest rates hurt biotech valuations13:00 Capital flows and why biotech underperformed in recent years15:30 The biotech boom and bust around the COVID pandemic18:00 How AI and tech compete with biotech for investor capital22:20 The role of specialist biotech hedge funds24:00 How pharmaceutical acquisitions drive biotech returns25:20 How biotech venture capital differs from tech VC30:50 Why biotech investors must evaluate complex scientific data34:20 Where AI may improve drug discovery and R&D productivity42:00 Portfolio construction and diversification in biotech venture investing44:30 Volatility, valuation marks, and private market pricing48:00 Managing risk across different drug technologies and disease areas49:30 Why China is becoming important for clinical trials53:00 Why biotech investing must be viewed as a global industry54:30 The importance of flexibility between value and growth investing58:50 Will investing become more systematic and quantitative over time
Bitcoin steadies around $71K despite geopolitical jitters and macro uncertainty, bolstered by ETF inflows and stablecoin dominance (USDC nearing records).

As attacks in the Strait of Hormuz put investors on edge, we start this week's episode with a conversation that takes a step back from the headlines to focus on what actually matters for client holdings. We'll compare the current moment to 2008, examine how increased U.S. oil production has changed the picture, and offer some reassurance in a market still grappling with uncertainty.With all the uncertainty, the S&P 500 keeps dipping, the headlines are getting louder, and investors are starting to feel uneasy—but the market is still only about 2% to 3% off record highs. We'll put today's volatility in context, revisit the “Ten-Year Rule,” and explain why moments like this are often when long-term discipline matters most.After the break we look at Vanguard's “How America Saves” report, which shows hardship withdrawals from 401(k) plans have been inching higher; however, participation in workplace retirement plans has also never been stronger. We'll explore why that combination may actually signal progress, as more workers build retirement savings that can also serve as a financial backstop when life throws a curveball.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J.

Liz Ann Sonders says the IEA's oil reserves release will take “a couple hundred days” to actually move to the places it's needed. She thinks the only thing that will settle the oil market is reopening shipping lanes. Liz Ann discusses how short-term traders are causing market volatility and argues rapid-fire rotation will continue. Long-term investors should reinforce their discipline, she adds. She covers her outlook for Oracle (ORCL) and the broader AI sector, and whether the Fed will move to cut rates this year.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Charles Schwab's Nathan Peterson weighs how geopolitical and crude oil volatility hit Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. However, as he explains it, crypto has shown surprising resilience. Nate later highlights key levels he sees as current resistance than can become new support. He also talks about how banking lobbyists are attempting to find "middle ground" with Florida's new stablecoin legislation. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

The conflict in Iran has added yet more uncertainty to fertilizer availability. This is concerning to many in agriculture, as significant input purchases still need to be made before peak planting season. “We still need to import about 25 percent of our spring need,” said Corey Rosenbusch, President and CEO of The Fertilizer Institute, which represents producers, wholesalers and retailers. “All it takes is one event like this to really mess things up. I'm very concerned.”Rosenbusch said his four main watch outs from the situation in Iran involve the availability of natural gas, urea, nitrogen and sulfur. On a more positive front, Rosenbusch said he's encouraged about work to get a new farm bill in place, which he hopes will include a national definition of biostimulants. He said biostimulants offer great promise for growers and may be even more valuable in difficult times in agriculture like are currently being experienced.
This episode of Trading Justice breaks down a market being driven by geopolitics as oil headlines dominate the narrative. Matt and Mark begin with the escalation in the Middle East and why crude oil has become the central macro variable for markets right now. They discuss the Strait of Hormuz, the importance of Karg Island to global oil supply, and how energy infrastructure risk could influence inflation expectations and market volatility. The conversation then turns to the latest labor report, which came in far weaker than expected. The hosts examine what the data may be signaling about the economy, why "bad news is good news" isn't working in the current environment, and how the growing influence of AI could continue to pressure job creation in the months ahead. In the feature segment, Matt breaks down the ABC Cycle and explains how traders can differentiate between a normal market correction and the start of something more significant. Using recent price action, he walks through how the depth of the first move down can set expectations for the rest of the correction and what levels traders should be watching.

Kevin Mahn, president and chief investment officer at Hennion & Walsh, entered 2026 expecting more volatility from the market and geo-politicla events, and while he "didn't have war in Iran on his dance card," he doesn't think it will change the outcomes all that much. He expects oil markets, for example, to stabilize once investors are certain that the Straits of Hormuz have re-opened, and he thinks there is plenty of opportunity where money has been flowing, into areas like artificial-intelligence infrastructure. All in all, he expects the stock market to celebrate a fourth birthday for the current bull market. Veteran trader Peter Robbins discusses his book, "The Trader's Journey: Navigating the Path to Trading Success," covering how important it is for traders — even investors who want to do modest amounts of transactions with a small percentage of their holdings — to find the system that works for them and their lifestyle, and he talks about how technology has changed trading, but how the evolution in artificial intelligence hasn't made it so that individual investors can't find a working path to success. Allison Hadley discusses a study she did for PartnerCentric.com study looking at AI shopping trends, where she found that nearly half of Americans tried AI-powered shopping last year, buying an average of more than $400 in eight transactions, and nearly two-third of shoppers expect to embrace AI when shopping this year. Despite that advancement, she notes that only 13% of Americans trust AI completely in its shopping recommendations with more than 80 % of consumers verifying its suggestions independently.
Marcus Bodet believes the AI trade remains in its infancy, though energy costs and bottlenecks keep the sector from rallying short-term. He sees Mag 7 firms focused on AI buildout like Alphabet (GOOGL) and Microsoft (MSFT) withstanding volatility. That said, Marcus thinks investors need "a little more patience" before substantial growth takes shape. Index investing and ETFs with exposure to tech are ones he considers safe and strong investments. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Energy markets are rattled as U.S. gas prices hit their highest levels since July 2024 amid Middle East tensions and supply risks in the Strait of Hormuz. Oil volatility surged after conflicting signals from the Energy Department, while AI momentum lifted NVIDIA (NVDA), Chinese ADRs, and Oracle (ORCL) following strong earnings. Markets now turn to the upcoming CPI report to assess how rising energy pressures could shape Fed policy.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

The year has started with a tug-of-war between resilient growth and rising policy risk, and the path forward for markets will likely continue to be punctuated by event risk. In this Macro Pulse update, Julia Hermann and Michael LoGalbo discuss how geopolitical regime change, AI concentration, and supportive U.S. policy are shaping the base case.
Volatility is back with a vengeance! In this special episode, Mark Longo reports live from the FIA Boca Conference 2026 while the markets take a nosedive. As the S&P 500 flirts with red for the year and the VIX threatens the 30-handle, the All-Star panel breaks down the chaos.

Jim Masturzo, chief investment officer at Research Affiliates, says that "Volatility is just a reaction to something new, and something that has changed," which is why investors can expect a volatile market as it works through the start of the war in Iran. That said, he is not expecting the war to change much, other than increasing volatility, provided it does not last for a long stretch of time. Masturzo does think that current events will contribute to higher inflation, but he says that — whether the Federal Reserve likes it or not — a 3% inflation rate has become the norm and is likely to remain that way, in large part because the economy has shown that it can push through that level of inflation and continue growing. Vijay Marolia, chief investment officer at Regal Point Capital, also digs in on inflation in "The Week That Is," noting that the upcoming inflation numbers will be the financial story of the week ahead, but also potentially for many consumers' financial lifetime, noting that if higher inflation becomes the norm, it dramatically changes the math for building a retirement-savings nestegg that can overcome longevity and purchasing-power risk. Marolia also discusses the early impacts of war in Iran on the market and how he expects it to play out in oil prices, as well as his sense on what's next for the Space X merger. David Trainer, president at New Constructs, takes a victory lap on some Danger Zone picks that have paid off, but where he believes there is significantly more trouble to come. It's a rogue's gallery of names like Affirm and Snap that all have fallen by at least 25% in 2026 and much further than that since their 52-week highs; Trainer notes that these stocks, and several others that he discusses, may look like bargains now that they have been beaten down, but warns that investors who buy now could be catching proverbial falling knives. Further, he says, there is no need to chase big losers in hopes of catching a turnaround.
Markets look at geopolitical risks as temporary shocks, says Brandon Clark, urging investors to use history as guide. He explains how the current conflict in Iran compares to other geopolitical conflicts like the Iraq War and how price action will likely be more resilient than expected. Looking ahead to the mid-term elections, Brandon tells traders to "embrace volatility" even with weakness expected for the year. ======== 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
Wall Street legend Ted Weisberg tells investors to "not be a hero" and "pick bottoms" of stocks in a time of extreme volatility like this. He says now is an opportunity to lighten portfolios from some sectors and makes the case for a "sell energy, buy airlines" trade once geopolitical tensions subside.

Dryden Pence says Middle East tensions pose a transportation challenge—not a production shortfall—with oil markets still oversupplied and any inflation spikes likely temporary.

FULL STREAM### March 2: Outbreak of War and Regional Volatility (1)XERXES I OF PERSIAHeadline: The Fog of War Descends Following US-Israeli Strikes on Iran (2)Summary: This file covers the chaotic initial hours of the war with Iranfollowing significant US and Israeli military strikes. Host John Batchelor and guests analyze the "long war" perspective, noting that while President Trump anticipates a conflict lasting four to five weeks, significant concerns exist regarding the absence of a ground game for regime change. The conflict has caused immediate global economic shockwaves, with oil and natural gas prices spiking as Qatari and Saudi energy production faces Iranian missile and drone threats. Reports of "friendly fire" emerge from Kuwait, where three American F-15s were downed by allied air defenses. Simultaneously, an "open war" has erupted on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, as Pakistan launches air strikes against the Taliban, claiming to have killed their supreme leader. Inside Iran, thousands of young people are reportedly taking to the streets to support the regime's collapse. (3)Guest(s): Bill Roggio (Foundation for the Defense of Democracies), Husain Haqqani (Former Pakistan Ambassador to the US), Jonathan Syeh (Foundation for the Defense of Democracies). (4)
