Market volatility has soared, and investors are more bearish than they've been since 2008 – even more so than during COVID. But what if this extreme pessimism is actually a buying signal? Eric Nyquist of Howard Capital makes a compelling case that "bears sound smart, but they're usually wrong," highlighting how contrarian indicators often provide the clearest path forward during market uncertainty.
In this fascinating conversation, Eric breaks down Howard Capital's systematic approach to navigating turbulent markets. Their proprietary "Byline" and "Pivot Point" systems work together like a head coach and coordinator – the Byline determining overall market exposure based on trend analysis, while the Pivot Points fine-tune shorter-term adjustments. This rules-based methodology eliminates emotional decision-making, which Eric identifies as the primary reason most investors significantly underperform the market over time.
Drawing from Howard's impressive track record during previous market downturns, Eric explains how tactical management isn't about predicting market movements but responding systematically to what's actually happening. Their approach allowed them to navigate 2008 with less than 10% drawdowns and position clients optimally during the 2020 COVID crash. Most enlightening is Eric's perspective on risk itself – arguing that true risk isn't volatility but the erosion of purchasing power, making quality equities potentially less risky than bonds over the long term.
For advisors and investors struggling with client emotions during market turbulence, this episode provides invaluable insights into how disciplined, tactical approaches can deliver both peace of mind and superior long-term results. As Eric notes, "the value of a good advisor and money manager far outsees the cost," particularly when they save clients from making costly behavioral mistakes during times of market stress.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedEver notice how the biggest market disruptions are rarely the ones everyone sees coming? Brad Barrie challenges conventional wisdom about diversification with his compelling "bus you don't see" analogy, explaining why most investors remain vulnerable despite thinking they're adequately protected. "Diversification is not more stuff," Brad emphasizes, dismantling the common misconception that simply owning numerous investments creates safety. His multidimensional asset allocation approach transcends traditional thinking by focusing on diversifying return drivers rather than just asset classes. This subtle but crucial distinction makes all the difference when markets experience unexpected shocks. Through practical examples like the recent tariff volatility, Brad demonstrates how investors often underestimate visible risks while remaining completely blind to others. His counterintuitive wisdom that "diversification means always having to say you're sorry" reveals an uncomfortable truth: if everything in your portfolio performs well simultaneously, you're probably not truly diversified. Brad explains how his Dynamic Alpha Macro Fund (DYMIX) embodies this philosophy by combining equities with discretionary global macro futures strategies. Unlike trend-following approaches that struggle in choppy markets, DYMIX positions based on fundamental theses that remain valid regardless of broader market conditions. This creates genuine non-correlation not just to stocks and bonds, but to other alternative strategies as well. The conversation delivers actionable insights for both investors and advisors seeking to build more resilient portfolios. By understanding the specific drivers behind different investments and combining multiple uncorrelated return sources, you can better prepare for the investment "buses" you never see coming.

1 Unlocking China's Potential Through Covered Calls 48:43

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedAre you struggling to find meaningful yield in today's unpredictable markets? You're not alone. The investment landscape is evolving rapidly, pushing savvy investors toward innovative solutions that combine income potential with strategic diversification. In this enlightening conversation with Jonathan Shelon, Chief Operating Officer at KraneShares, we dive deep into the explosive growth of covered call strategies and why international markets offer a particularly compelling opportunity. Shelon reveals how KLIP, KraneShares' international covered call ETF focused on Chinese internet stocks, generates monthly income in the impressive 3-5% range – substantially higher than what most U.S.-based covered call products offer. What makes this strategy especially powerful is its diversification benefit. With a correlation of just 0.4 between U.S. and Chinese markets, these assets move on completely different cycles, creating a portfolio cushion when you need it most. As Shelon explains, "When US markets experience stress or drawdowns, it happens at a completely different time than when China experiences market stress." We explore the compelling valuation case for Chinese equities, with tech companies trading at PE ratios in the mid-teens while maintaining strong growth. This stands in stark contrast to U.S. markets trading near historic highs both in index levels and valuations. Most investors remain significantly underweight China at just 2-3% exposure, despite KraneShares recommending 5-10% allocation. Whether you're seeking to enhance your income strategy, reduce portfolio volatility, or strategically position for a potential shift in global market leadership, this conversation offers practical insights you won't want to miss.

The financial world stands at a critical juncture as Treasury yields approach 18-year highs and markets wrestle with conflicting economic signals. In this riveting conversation between macro strategists Jim Bianco and Jay Hatfield, hosted by Michael Gayed, we explore the counterintuitive relationship between Fed policy and market reactions that has left many investors scratching their heads. When the Fed cut rates last September, yields went up. This paradox forms the backdrop for a fascinating debate about whether higher rates might actually be the cure for higher rates. Hatfield advances his "Hopfield Rule"—the observation that housing starts falling below 1.1 million units have preceded 11 of 12 post-WWII recessions—suggesting we may be closer to economic trouble than many realize. Meanwhile, a 20% drop in oil prices this year has created what Hatfield calls "stag-deflation" rather than the stagflation many fear. The conversation takes a surprising turn when examining market influences. Bianco reveals that retail investors purchased $4.1 billion worth of stocks in just four hours following the Moody's downgrade, effectively stabilizing the market. This "do-it-yourself" investor revolution has fundamentally changed market dynamics, with retail traders wielding unprecedented influence despite focusing on just a handful of popular stocks and ETFs. Both experts offer nuanced perspectives on tariffs, inflation expectations, and the global bond sell-off. While the immediate outlook suggests continued volatility, they highlight that today's fixed income market structure offers significantly more favorable characteristics than during the initial rate hiking cycle of 2022-2023. Whether you're concerned about spiking Treasury yields, curious about the impact of retail traders, or trying to position your portfolio for what comes next, this discussion provides crucial insights from two of the sharpest minds in macro investing.

1 Inside AI: The Future of Technology Investments 29:21
29:21 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked29:21
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedTechnology isn't just a sector anymore—it's the driving force reshaping every industry. Whether companies are creating technology or adopting it to avoid disruption, understanding this transformation is crucial for investment success. Columbia Threadneedle's tech investment approach stands apart through its disciplined focus on three complementary buckets: moat-type businesses with sustainable competitive advantages, secular growth themes identified early, and value opportunities where market prices underestimate business quality. This balanced strategy has consistently generated top-tier returns, with their technology portfolio ranking in Morningstar's top third for 8 of the past 12 years. What truly distinguishes their approach is patience. With just 7% annual turnover, they allow investments in companies like Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and NVIDIA to compound over many years. This long-term perspective proves especially valuable when navigating tech's inherent volatility. As portfolio manager Rahul explains, even AI—their largest investment theme since 2016—has experienced two 20% pullbacks in the last 18 months alone. Recent earnings revealed tech's continued strength, with mega-cap tech growing earnings 28% versus just 9% for the remainder S&P 493. Cloud infrastructure spending is projected to reach $390 billion this year, nearly nine times higher than a decade ago. While tariffs pose the most significant current risk, particularly for semiconductors, the team's diversified approach and deep research capabilities help manage these challenges. With technology now representing 31% of the S&P 500 and nearly half the Russell 1000 Growth Index, investors increasingly recognize the value of specialist management in this complex sector. Columbia Threadneedle's recently launched Select Technology ETF (SEMI) offers another vehicle to access their expertise alongside their established funds.

The specter of stagflation—sluggish economic growth combined with persistent inflation—looms large in today's uncertain economic landscape. While Federal Reserve Chair Powell once claimed to see "no stag and no flation," current indicators suggest otherwise. Economic growth appears to be slowing after an extended expansion, while inflation remains stubbornly above target levels. Adding to these concerns, potential tariffs could exacerbate stagflationary pressures by simultaneously hampering growth and increasing prices. Amid this challenging environment, conventional investment wisdom falls short. The standard 60/40 portfolio, commonly touted as "balanced," actually maintains a 90% correlation to an all-stock portfolio—hardly providing true diversification when markets face stagflationary headwinds. This reality underscores the value of risk parity strategies, which distribute risk evenly across assets that perform differently under varying economic conditions. Gold emerges as a particularly compelling asset in this context. Contrary to popular perception, gold has outperformed stocks over the past 25 years and has nearly matched global equities' returns since 1971, trailing by merely half a percent annually. During the stagflationary 1970s, gold appreciated by approximately 30% annually, highlighting its effectiveness as a portfolio stabilizer during precisely the economic conditions many fear today. The risk parity approach offers a systematic framework for achieving genuine diversification—not by simply holding numerous securities, but by balancing risk exposure across uncorrelated assets. This means owning more of less volatile assets and less of more volatile ones, ensuring no single economic factor dominates portfolio performance. When implemented within an ETF structure like RPAR, this approach gains additional tax efficiencies while automating the psychologically challenging process of regular rebalancing.

Market veterans know that bull runs and corrections rarely travel in straight lines, and in this riveting conversation with Michael Gayed, we explore the subtle signals suggesting our recent market recovery might be more fragile than it appears. Michael, who accurately predicted the S&P's 20% drop earlier this year, walks us through the conflicting indicators currently puzzling even seasoned analysts. What particularly stands out is the disconnect between rapidly recovered credit spreads and still-struggling small caps – a warning sign Michael believes shouldn't be ignored. Treasury yields remain stubbornly elevated despite easing tariff concerns, while the Japanese yen's strengthening since January suggests forces beyond trade policy may be driving market volatility. For anyone trying to read these complex market signals, Michael offers a refreshingly candid framework that cuts through the noise. The conversation takes a fascinating turn when addressing gold's prospects, with Michael clarifying his controversial stance. Having been bullish since October 2023, he now sees gold transitioning from safety asset to momentum play – often a precursor to correction. Through behavioral finance principles like the disposition effect, he explains why gold could face a 10-20% pullback despite its long-term bull case remaining intact. Most provocatively, we explore what Michael calls "manipulation on a scale we've never seen before," where presidential tweets move markets and rhetoric trumps fundamentals.

The financial landscape has dramatically shifted, leaving income-focused investors struggling to find reliable yield. Traditional bonds no longer serve as the dependable ballast they once were, forcing advisors and retirees to explore alternative paths to consistent income. Howard Chan, formerly of PIMCO and Goldman Sachs, shares how his firm Kurv Investments is addressing this challenge through volatility harvesting strategies that transform growth-oriented technology stocks into income-generating powerhouses. This approach solves a fundamental dilemma: no longer must investors choose between growth potential and current income – they can potentially have both. What makes these strategies particularly valuable today is the breakdown of traditional asset correlations. The negative relationship between stocks and bonds that underpinned the classic 60/40 portfolio has weakened significantly, with both assets sometimes declining simultaneously during market stress. Volatility itself has emerged as an effective portfolio diversifier with a -0.8 correlation to equity markets this year. Through covered call writing on high-volatility tech names, these strategies can generate substantial yields (7-14% annually) while maintaining some upside participation. The approach follows a four-step framework for navigating market turbulence: mitigating downside during corrections, generating income while awaiting clarity, repositioning for rebounds, and then capturing upside during risk-on periods. Particularly enlightening is Howard's warning about NAV erosion in high-yield ETFs – when funds promise distributions above what markets can sustainably deliver, they must return principal to maintain their stated yield, creating a slow death spiral for investor capital. This critical concept is often overlooked by yield-hungry retail investors. For those approaching or in retirement who rely on portfolio income rather than total return, these alternative income streams may provide the consistency and tax efficiency that traditional fixed income currently lacks. As Howard notes, with US debt growing at 7% while GDP grows at just 2-3%, challenging fiscal choices lie ahead – making thoughtful income strategies more essential than ever.

What if everything you've been told about money and wealth preservation is fundamentally flawed? In this eye-opening conversation with Lynette Zhang, a financial expert with over 50 years of market experience, we explore why physical gold remains the ultimate safe haven during times of monetary uncertainty. "If you don't hold it, you don't own it," Zhang states emphatically, challenging conventional financial wisdom. Drawing on her background as a banker and stockbroker who has studied currency life cycles since 1987, she reveals the predictable patterns that signal our current monetary system's final stages. With the US dollar having lost 97% of its purchasing power, Zhang argues we're witnessing the death throes of fiat currency—something central banks worldwide seem to acknowledge as they accumulate gold at historic rates. The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Zhang calculates gold's true fundamental value at over $40,000 per ounce—far above current market prices. This isn't wishful thinking but based on dividing global debt by all existing gold, revealing just how severely undervalued the metal remains despite recent price increases. Zhang explains how governments suppress gold prices through paper markets because "a rising gold price is an indication of a failing fiat currency." Perhaps most compelling is Zhang's framework for diversification. While many advisors consider stocks and bonds sufficient diversification, Zhang demonstrates why tangible assets like physical gold and silver are the only true portfolio diversifiers during a currency transition. As she puts it: "During transitions, wealth never disappears, it just shifts location."

1 Pipeline Powerhouses: Mastering MLP Investments 30:25
30:25 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked30:25
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedDive into the often misunderstood world of Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) with Jay Hatfield of Infrastructure Capital as he clarifies exactly what makes these unique investment vehicles tick. Far from simply being "pipeline stocks," MLPs represent a sophisticated investment opportunity combining advantageous tax structures with stable cash flows and attractive yields. Jay breaks down the fundamental economics driving pipeline companies, explaining why they remain remarkably resilient even during periods of energy price volatility. Unlike direct energy producers, these infrastructure businesses operate primarily through long-term contracts and acreage dedications, creating predictable revenue streams regardless of short-term commodity fluctuations. Currently yielding around 7% with 5% annual distribution growth, today's MLPs target double-digit total returns while maintaining conservative financial policies. The conversation highlights how natural gas infrastructure stands at the intersection of several major global trends. As electricity demand surges from AI development, electric vehicles, and broader electrification, natural gas remains essential for grid stability—something even renewable-heavy regions like Spain and Portugal have learned through experience. Meanwhile, policy shifts under the Trump administration supporting LNG exports create substantial growth runways for companies transporting America's abundant natural gas resources to global markets hungry for cleaner energy alternatives. Perhaps most compelling for investors is the portfolio diversification MLPs offer, showing only 60-70% correlation to broader markets while providing meaningful income. The industry's evolution over recent years has created stronger, more resilient companies with national operations, investment-grade balance sheets, and sustainable distribution policies. For retirement-focused investors especially, these characteristics make MLPs worth serious consideration as part of a balanced portfolio strategy.

1 Tariffs, Trade Wars, and China's Economic Evolution with Henry Greene 58:02
58:02 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked58:02
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedAmidst headlines proclaiming economic doom from Trump's tariffs, a surprising reality emerges: Chinese exports to the United States represent a mere 2.3% of China's GDP. This revealing statistic underscores China's remarkable transformation from an export-driven economy to one powered by domestic consumption and services. Henry Greene, Investment Strategist at KraneShares, breaks down this economic evolution with remarkable clarity. China's exports to America have plummeted from over 25% of total exports in 2006-2010 to just 14% today, while their manufactured goods exports represent only about 11% of GDP. For investors concerned about Chinese internet companies, the news grows even more intriguing – less than 2% of revenues from KWeb portfolio companies (including Alibaba, PDD, Tencent, and Meituan) originate from American consumers. Only PDD Holdings, with its popular Temu app, faces meaningful exposure at roughly 15% of revenue. The conversation explores several misconceptions plaguing market narratives. Concerns about Chinese company delistings from U.S. exchanges largely rehash existing policies from the 2020 Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, rather than representing new threats. Similarly, trade tensions around Taiwan reflect long-standing political posturing rather than imminent geopolitical shifts. Meanwhile, Chinese internet valuations remain compelling at roughly 17% earnings multiples compared to 30% for U.S. tech counterparts. Looking forward, multiple growth catalysts remain intact regardless of trade negotiations. Artificial intelligence development continues at pace with companies like Alibaba introducing increasingly efficient models. Consumer confidence has room to recover from pandemic-era lows. Perhaps most promising, cloud computing penetration among Chinese businesses sits at just 50% – substantially below Western rates and echoing the internet adoption curve that powered earlier growth cycles. Discover how savvy investors are navigating this complex landscape using strategies like balanced onshore/offshore exposure, covered calls, buffer products, and Asian fixed income to capitalize on China's economic resilience while managing volatility.

1 Money Talks: Breaking the Taboo of Wealth with George Stefanou 47:36
47:36 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked47:36
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedFinancial literacy forms the bedrock of generational wealth preservation, yet remains strikingly absent from our educational system. This knowledge gap creates the perfect storm for the "shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves in three generations" phenomenon that plagues family fortunes—wealth created in one generation, enjoyed in the second, and squandered by the third. George Stefanou, with over 15 years of financial advising experience, tackles this pressing issue head-on. Drawing from his book "Two Comma Wealth," he reveals the critical conversations families must have about money and the principles that extend wealth beyond a single generation. The timing couldn't be more crucial, as we stand at the precipice of history's largest wealth transfer from Baby Boomers to their heirs. Stefanou unpacks the concept of "hitting your number"—that magical retirement figure that supposedly guarantees financial security—and why the traditional 4% withdrawal rule requires nuanced application. He offers a refreshing metaphor of investment "lanes" (from the emergency lane of cash reserves to the sports car lane of growth equities) that helps visualize proper diversification strategies needed to combat inflation while preserving capital. The challenges of working with high-net-worth individuals receive special attention, particularly how their business success can paradoxically hinder investment discipline. Men and women approach money differently too—men often rushing to action during market volatility while women process information before making decisions, frequently becoming better long-term investors as a result. Strategic tax and estate planning emerge as critical yet underappreciated aspects of wealth preservation. With potential changes to estate tax exemptions looming, Stefanou illuminates how proper asset location and distribution timing can save heirs significant money while honoring philanthropic intentions without "tipping the IRS" unnecessarily. What about AI in financial planning? While technology will enhance data analysis and pattern recognition, the human element—behavioral coaching, accountability, and personalized understanding—remains irreplaceable, especially during market turbulence.

1 Market Signals and Bear Market Warning Signs with Vincent Randazzo 47:48
47:48 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked47:48
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThe market is sending clear warning signals that shouldn't be ignored. Technical analysis expert Vincent Randazzo reveals how deteriorating market breadth—a critical measure of market health—suggests we've entered a bear market that could persist longer than most anticipate. Drawing on over two decades of experience in technical analysis, Randazzo explains that market breadth essentially represents liquidity: how much money is flowing into how many different companies. A healthy market shows broad participation across companies of all sizes, while an unhealthy one features concentration in fewer names. At February's market peak, only 53% of stocks in the Russell 3000 were trading above their 200-day moving averages despite major indices hitting all-time highs—a classic divergence pattern that has preceded major market tops throughout history. Small cap underperformance has been particularly telling, with the Russell 2000 effectively experiencing a "lost half-decade" already when accounting for inflation. This divergence between small caps and large caps represents one of the most significant warning signs in current market conditions and could be foreshadowing a potential "lost decade" for equities similar to 2000-2010. For investors accustomed to the "buy and hold" approach that has dominated the last 15 years, this environment demands a tactical, risk-aware strategy. The value of avoiding major drawdowns while still capturing upside becomes paramount for effective long-term compounding. Diversification needs to extend beyond asset classes to include different strategies with varying signals and time horizons. Whether you're managing your own investments or working with an advisor, understanding these technical signals could make the difference between protecting your capital and suffering significant losses as this bear market potentially unfolds.

1 Rethinking Investment Strategy in an Era of Change with Seth Cogswell 52:28
52:28 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked52:28
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThe investment landscape is changing dramatically, and Seth Cogswell of Running Oak believes most investors aren't prepared. "People have gotten away with investing without thinking for the last decade," he observes, pointing to fundamental shifts that could upend conventional portfolio strategies. At the heart of this change lies the potential reversal of globalization—a multi-decade trend that has kept corporate profit margins artificially inflated and supported unprecedented valuations in certain market segments. This shift creates both dangers and opportunities that demand a more thoughtful approach to portfolio construction. The conversation reveals a critical blind spot in how most investors structure their portfolios. Between large-cap dominated passive funds (where often just eight companies represent 60% of holdings) and small/mid-cap allocations sits an overlooked space with compelling characteristics. Mid-caps have outperformed large caps by 60 basis points annually over 33 years while maintaining lower valuations—creating what Seth describes as "the most attractive asymmetry within the US equity market." Seth makes a compelling case for disciplined investing focused on three core principles: maximizing earnings growth, avoiding companies that should go down (particularly those with unreasonable valuations), and mitigating drawdowns. This rules-based approach removes emotion from the investment process and has proven valuable through various market cycles. The discussion also explores how companies that have taken on significant debt primarily to repurchase shares may face difficulties if we enter a recession or if interest rates remain elevated. "You go back to the end of bull markets, that's where the most crowded, most popular trades drop 50% in a few months," Seth warns, highlighting why investors should reassess concentration risks in their portfolios. Whether you're concerned about potential market turbulence or simply looking to optimize your portfolio construction, this conversation offers valuable perspective on finding opportunities in overlooked market segments through disciplined, logical investment approaches that focus on sustainable growth and risk management.

1 Market Volatility Decoded with Jay Hatfield 47:49
47:49 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked47:49
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedWhen market volatility erupts, understanding the mechanics behind price movements becomes crucial. In this illuminating conversation with Jay Hatfield of Infrastructure Capital, we dive deep into the surprising dynamics of the recent market sell-off and subsequent recovery following Trump's tariff announcements. The discussion begins with what Hatfield calls "the small cap tariff problem" – the counterintuitive underperformance of small cap stocks despite their lower exposure to international tariffs. Rather than fundamental concerns, this divergence stems from technical factors: small caps are high beta assets that naturally experience greater volatility during market disruptions. It's a powerful reminder that market commentary often follows price action rather than leads it, creating what Hatfield describes as "momentum market commentary." Most provocatively, Hatfield challenges the conventional wisdom around tariffs and inflation. Unlike the stagflationary environment of the 1970s when oil prices rose 1200%, today's economic landscape features falling oil prices (down 20% year-to-date) combined with one-time tariff impacts. "Tariffs are one-time price increases, not inflation," Hatfield emphasizes, arguing that the Federal Reserve fundamentally misunderstands this distinction, keeping rates unnecessarily high based on a flawed framework that ignores money supply dynamics. Looking forward, Hatfield remains constructive on markets with an S&P target range of 5,000 to 6,000 in the near term and 6,600 by year-end. He sees earnings season as a stabilizing force that will replace fear with factual corporate data. For investors navigating this landscape, his Infrastructure Capital ETFs offer different strategies for varying risk appetites – from value-focused small caps (SCAP) to high-yield fixed income (PFFA and BNDS) and covered call strategies (ICAP).

1 Diversification Trumps Conviction with Alex Shahidi 51:43
51:43 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked51:43
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedAre you prepared for a financial landscape unlike anything we've seen in decades? The investing playbook that worked for the past ten years might be obsolete as we navigate unprecedented uncertainty in markets. "It's very possible there's a sea change and the next decade looks very different from the last decade," warns Alex Shahidi of Evoke Advisors. After years of low interest rates, stable volatility, and US stock dominance, today's environment features sticky inflation, political uncertainty, and a significantly constrained policy response toolkit. The potential range of outcomes is wider than at any point in recent memory, with greater risk of extreme scenarios. Most investors remain dangerously positioned for yesterday's market conditions. While many believe their 60/40 portfolios provide adequate diversification, Shahidi reveals that such allocations are 98% correlated with the stock market because stocks contribute disproportionately to volatility and returns. True diversification requires balancing risk contributions across multiple asset classes – what's known as risk parity. The conversation challenges conventional wisdom about gold, revealing it has returned approximately 8% annually since 1971, just behind equities' 9%, with near-zero correlation. The 1970s and 2000s were excellent for gold but poor for stocks, while the 1980s and 1990s saw the reverse pattern. This makes gold an exceptionally valuable diversifier that remains underrepresented in most portfolios. Perhaps most importantly, Shahidi offers a powerful framework for navigating today's uncertainty: "Diversification always trumps conviction." While it's natural to want to predict the future and position accordingly, the odds of consistent success in market timing are slim. A truly diversified portfolio removes much of the emotional pressure from investing decisions, allowing investors to follow a "slow and steady" path that historically delivers superior long-term results.

1 Tariffs, Tech, and China's AI Awakening with Derek Yan 51:58
51:58 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked51:58
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedTrump's unexpected tariff announcements have sent global markets into a tailspin, yet beneath the chaos lies a fascinating story: Chinese tech stocks have actually outperformed their US counterparts over the past year. Why? The valuation gap is stunning—Chinese tech companies trade at just 14-15x earnings while US tech giants command 25-30x multiples. The emergence of DeepSeek marked a watershed moment for China's technology sector. This breakthrough AI model demonstrated that China isn't merely participating in the artificial intelligence revolution but potentially positioned to lead it. For investors who've written off China as "uninvestable," this revelation demands a serious reconsideration of global portfolio allocation. What many investors miss is how Chinese tech companies differ fundamentally from their manufacturing counterparts. These digital businesses primarily serve domestic consumers through online shopping, mobile payments, and gaming—activities largely insulated from direct tariff impacts. This domestic focus provides a buffer against trade tensions while still offering exposure to one of the world's largest consumer markets. The AI revolution extends far beyond consumer applications like chatbots. The real transformation is happening at the enterprise level, where AI integration into existing systems is creating tremendous efficiency gains across sectors. From logistics optimization to healthcare advancements, AI is reshaping business operations globally. Most impressive is AI's coding capability, which has reached approximately 80% of human performance levels. For those looking to capitalize on these trends, a diversified approach offers advantages over concentrated bets on the "Magnificent Seven." Consider exploring solutions like KraneShares' AGIX ETF, which provides exposure to 40+ companies across the AI ecosystem, including unique access to private AI unicorns typically reserved for institutional investors. In times of market volatility, this comprehensive strategy may help navigate uncertain waters while maintaining exposure to tomorrow's technology leaders. Ready to rethink your global tech allocation? Explore how adding exposure to Chinese innovation might enhance your portfolio's long-term growth potential and resilience during market turbulence.

Volatility has returned to markets with a vengeance, but is this something to fear or embrace? It depends entirely on your perspective and preparation. When markets plummet, most investors panic. But what if market downturns actually represent opportunity? For younger investors with decades ahead, buying assets at discounted prices might be the best possible scenario. As Meb Faber points out, "You want to dollar cost average when stocks are at a PE of 10, not a PE of 40." The conversation delves into the nature of market volatility itself. Historical data reveals that approximately 70-80% of the market's best and worst days occur when prices trade below their 200-day moving average. This volatility clustering means big down days and big up days tend to happen close together - a phenomenon that quantitative approaches can potentially exploit. Perhaps most illuminating is the discussion around what true diversification actually means. Many investors believe they're diversified simply by owning the S&P 500, failing to recognize they're only exposed to U.S. large-caps. Genuine diversification extends across asset classes, geographies, and strategies - particularly important when correlations tighten during market stress. The discussion explores effective tail risk management strategies, including tactical allocation approaches and explicit hedging techniques. International markets trading at single-digit PE ratios offer compelling value compared to expensive U.S. indices, potentially signaling a regime shift after years of U.S. dominance. Whether this market volatility represents the beginning of something larger or merely a temporary correction remains uncertain. What's clear is that having a written investment plan before volatility strikes makes all the difference between reacting emotionally and responding strategically. As markets continue their wild ride, those who prepared for turbulence will navigate with confidence while others scramble for direction.

1 The Myth of Market Efficiency with Cullen Roche 51:32
51:32 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked51:32
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedEver wonder why markets seem to overreact to news we all saw coming? Cullen Roche challenges conventional wisdom about market efficiency with a refreshing perspective: "The price is always wrong." This fundamental insight transforms how we should approach investing during uncertain times. When tariffs send markets plunging, investors face the classic struggle between what they intellectually know they should do versus what feels right in the moment. Roche expertly dissects why traditional risk profiling fails most investors—everyone knows the "correct" answers on questionnaires, but real-world market volatility triggers emotional responses that make seemingly irrational decisions feel completely logical. As uncertainty surges during market corrections, even legendary investors can get caught in this psychological trap. The conversation introduces a powerful framework called "defined duration investing," which quantifies investment time horizons to match appropriate assets with specific financial needs. The stock market, fundamentally a 17-year instrument, cannot be forced to behave like a money market fund without consequences. This misalignment explains why many investors struggle behaviorally with market volatility—they're trying to "turn water into wine" by expecting short-term stability from inherently long-term assets. Particularly enlightening is Roche's analysis of treasuries as "deflation insurance" and his critique of popular income strategies. The discussion on dividend stocks versus total return challenges mental accounting habits that separate yield from capital appreciation, while his examination of monetary policy reveals how interventionist approaches can create unintended consequences. Whether you're navigating current market turbulence or building a portfolio for the long term, this conversation provides critical insights into aligning your investment approach with both market realities and your own psychology.

55:07 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked55:07
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThe markets have shifted into a new volatility regime, and traders need fresh tools to navigate these choppy waters. In this illuminating conversation, Michael Gayed hosts David Dziekanski (Founder and CEO of Quantify Funds), Mike Venuto (Co-Founder of Tidal ETF Services), and Michael Silva (trader and host of Figuring Out Money) to explore innovative trading strategies for today's challenging market environment. David introduces Quantify's groundbreaking launch of four new "stacked" ETFs that provide a revolutionary approach to thematic investing. Unlike traditional leveraged funds, these products offer 100% exposure to two carefully paired stocks within a single fund, creating effective 2:1 leverage with built-in rebalancing. The newly launched funds include APED (MicroStrategy/Coinbase), LAYS (NVIDIA/AMD), SPCY (NVIDIA/SMCI), and ZIPP (Uber/Tesla) - each targeting high-interest themes from cryptocurrency to artificial intelligence. The conversation delves into the mechanics behind these innovative products, explaining how they solve one of the most challenging aspects of portfolio management: executing those difficult rebalances between correlated assets, especially during earnings seasons or market turbulence. As David explains, "These are prepackaged vehicles offering rebalancing in an ETF that you don't have to think about." Silva shares practical insights on adjusting trading strategies during periods of expanded volatility, while Venuto illuminates the structural tax advantages ETFs offer over traditional investment vehicles.

1 Maximize Your Income: Covered Call Strategies for Volatile Markets with Catherine Howse and Jeff Cullen 55:29
55:29 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked55:29
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIn a world where traditional income sources fall short and market volatility threatens portfolio stability, finding the sweet spot between yield and growth becomes increasingly challenging. Enter Cullen Capital's Enhanced Equity Income Strategy (DIVP), a thoughtfully constructed approach that's been delivering consistent results for over 14 years. Unlike many covered call strategies that sacrifice upside potential for current income, DIVP takes a more selective approach. By writing options on just 25-40% of portfolio holdings, the strategy maintains meaningful exposure to market upside while generating a target yield of 7% or higher. Half of this yield comes from dividends paid by high-quality value stocks, with the remainder from option premiums – creating a more tax-efficient income stream than strategies relying solely on options. The portfolio consists of approximately 30-35 carefully selected large-cap value companies across all eleven market sectors, each chosen for their strong fundamentals, dividend growth potential, and attractive valuations. Trading at just 13x forward earnings, these companies offer both current income and growth potential that many pure fixed-income alternatives simply cannot match. Perhaps most compelling is the strategy's historical ability to protect capital while delivering income. A hypothetical $1 million investment at inception with 5% annual withdrawals would have provided $856,000 in cumulative income while growing to $1.3 million over 14 years – demonstrating that income generation doesn't have to come at the expense of principal. With recent market volatility highlighting the vulnerabilities of growth-heavy portfolios, DIVP's value-oriented approach has demonstrated resilience, outperforming many technology-focused covered call strategies. As investors reassess their income needs in an uncertain market environment, consider how this balanced approach to income generation might enhance your portfolio's yield while maintaining potential for long-term growth.

1 Active Management in Volatile Markets with Eric Nyquist 46:17
46:17 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked46:17
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedMarket volatility has soared, and investors are more bearish than they've been since 2008 – even more so than during COVID. But what if this extreme pessimism is actually a buying signal? Eric Nyquist of Howard Capital makes a compelling case that "bears sound smart, but they're usually wrong," highlighting how contrarian indicators often provide the clearest path forward during market uncertainty. In this fascinating conversation, Eric breaks down Howard Capital's systematic approach to navigating turbulent markets. Their proprietary "Byline" and "Pivot Point" systems work together like a head coach and coordinator – the Byline determining overall market exposure based on trend analysis, while the Pivot Points fine-tune shorter-term adjustments. This rules-based methodology eliminates emotional decision-making, which Eric identifies as the primary reason most investors significantly underperform the market over time. Drawing from Howard's impressive track record during previous market downturns, Eric explains how tactical management isn't about predicting market movements but responding systematically to what's actually happening. Their approach allowed them to navigate 2008 with less than 10% drawdowns and position clients optimally during the 2020 COVID crash. Most enlightening is Eric's perspective on risk itself – arguing that true risk isn't volatility but the erosion of purchasing power, making quality equities potentially less risky than bonds over the long term. For advisors and investors struggling with client emotions during market turbulence, this episode provides invaluable insights into how disciplined, tactical approaches can deliver both peace of mind and superior long-term results. As Eric notes, "the value of a good advisor and money manager far outsees the cost," particularly when they save clients from making costly behavioral mistakes during times of market stress.

1 Market Mastery Through Trend Following with Eric Nyquist 50:05
50:05 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked50:05
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedWhen financial stress tore Eric Nyquist's family apart during the mid-2000s, it sparked his lifelong mission to understand how to both grow and protect wealth. Now leading fund sales and distribution at Howard Capital Management, Eric shares how personal experience shaped his investment philosophy and why protecting capital during market downturns is just as crucial as capturing upside. The cornerstone of Howard Capital's approach is their proprietary HCM Byline – a trend-following indicator that serves as a market barometer, signaling whether markets are healthy or deteriorating. Developed by founder Vance Howard in the mid-90s after experiencing the 1987 market crash firsthand, this systematic methodology removes emotional decision-making from investing, addressing what Eric identifies as the number one reason investors underperform: behavioral finance pitfalls. Eric challenges conventional investment wisdom throughout our conversation, particularly questioning Modern Portfolio Theory's assumptions about rational investor behavior and its equation of volatility with risk. "Volatility works on a two-way street," he explains. "There's as much upside volatility as downside, and if you can't capture upside volatility, you're never going to make money in the market." For advisors constructing portfolios, Eric suggests thinking in thirds – allocating to tactical growth strategies like Howard Capital's ETFs, actively managed fixed income, and passive strategies to keep costs down. Their ETFs (LGH and QQH) offer tactical versions of major indexes designed not to avoid every market hiccup, but to protect investors from the devastating 30-50% declines that can derail financial plans, especially for those nearing retirement. Whether you're concerned about current market valuations, wondering about the persistence of large-cap dominance, or simply looking for ways to enhance your investment approach, this conversation offers valuable perspective on navigating market cycles with confidence.

1 Navigating Volatile Markets Through Income with Jay Hatfield 53:05
53:05 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked53:05
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedAmid rising market turbulence, finding stable income sources has become increasingly crucial for investors seeking portfolio resilience. In this compelling discussion, Jay Hatfield draws on his 35 years of Wall Street experience to illuminate the path forward for income-focused investing strategies that can weather economic uncertainty. Hatfield challenges conventional wisdom with his razor-sharp macroeconomic analysis, demonstrating why tariffs are actually deflationary rather than inflationary and how this misunderstanding creates opportunities for well-positioned investors. His forecast that the 10-year Treasury will drop to 3.75% as the Federal Reserve finally acknowledges economic slowdown provides a framework for strategic positioning across asset classes. The discussion reveals why traditional S&P 500 portfolios yielding just 1.3% simply can't generate meaningful income in today's environment. Instead, Hatfield outlines a comprehensive approach using preferred stocks (PFFA yielding ~9%), high-yield bonds (BNDS yielding ~8%), dividend-paying stocks, and reformed MLPs to create substantial income streams while managing risk. His insights on small caps are particularly compelling – currently trading at significant discounts to large caps, they offer both attractive income and growth potential as rates decline and M&A activity accelerates. What sets this conversation apart is Hatfield's practical approach to portfolio construction. Most investors unknowingly carry excessive technology exposure through their index funds and individual holdings, leaving them vulnerable to tech sector volatility. By strategically incorporating income-producing assets, investors can create more balanced portfolios that generate consistent returns regardless of market conditions. As Hatfield notes, "staying out of trouble is about 90% of the battle" when it comes to long-term investment success.

1 Beyond Market Cap: Endowment Investing Strategies with Meb Faber 53:08
53:08 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked53:08
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThe financial world stands at a crossroads where unprecedented US stock market valuations meet revolutionary portfolio strategies and tax solutions. Meb Faber, founder of Cambria Investment Management, cuts through market noise to deliver essential insights for investors navigating today's challenging landscape. With US stocks experiencing one of their four major valuation peaks in history and the S&P 500 delivering a 10-bagger return since 2009, many investors find themselves trapped in concentrated positions they can't sell due to tax consequences. The warning signs are clear – market cap weighted indexes have become dangerously concentrated, with most investors significantly overweight in US equities compared to global alternatives. Faber introduces Cambria's groundbreaking endowment-style ETF (E&DW) that reimagines David Swensen's Yale approach for everyday investors. This strategy employs modest leverage (130-150%) across a truly global asset allocation that emphasizes foreign markets, value investments, and real assets – areas consistently underrepresented in typical portfolios. Historical evidence suggests this approach can potentially deliver Yale-like returns (13% annually) compared to the 8-10% from traditional allocations, though with comparable equity-like volatility. The presentation's most revolutionary concept comes through Faber's explanation of Section 351 ETF conversions – a tax strategy allowing investors to contribute appreciated stock positions to seed ETFs without triggering capital gains. This mechanism works like a 1031 exchange for stocks, enabling trapped investors to diversify concentrated positions while deferring taxes. The implications are transformative, potentially creating more impact than the entire crypto ETF phenomenon. Whether you're concerned about market valuations, seeking portfolio diversification strategies, or exploring tax-efficient investment approaches, this presentation delivers actionable insights from one of investment management's most innovative thinkers. The combination of endowment-style investing with tax-efficient conversion strategies represents a genuine paradigm shift in how investors can approach wealth management in 2025 and beyond.

1 Risk, Reward, and Raising $135 Million: The Public Story with Leif Abraham 46:28
46:28 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked46:28
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThe financial landscape is shifting dramatically, and Public.com is at the forefront of this transformation. Co-founder Leif Abraham takes us behind the scenes of the five-year journey that's reimagining what an investment platform can be for today's generation of investors. Abraham reveals how Public differentiated itself from day one by focusing on people who want to take their investing more seriously rather than just speculating. The platform's technological innovation extends far beyond its intuitive interface – a custom-built multi-asset ledger enables fractional investing across all asset classes and real-time money movements that legacy platforms simply can't match. Perhaps most fascinating is Public's groundbreaking work with AI through its Alpha tool, which began as an experimental project when OpenAI first released its API. Now fully integrated throughout the platform, Alpha provides contextual insights about market movements, breaks down earnings calls in real-time, and answers specific questions about companies. Unlike generic AI implementations, Public's approach combines GPT's natural language capabilities with proprietary structured financial data, creating what Abraham describes as "We are the brain, and GPT is the face of it." The company recently secured $135 million in funding (bringing their total to over $400 million), which Abraham suggests will likely be their final capital raise as the platform continues expanding its offerings. Public's vision challenges the traditional binary between self-directed and managed investing by creating a spectrum of "guided investing" where users collaborate with intelligent systems to build portfolios that reflect their unique needs. For investors looking to capitalize on the current rate environment, Public has seen growing interest in its bond offerings, particularly simplified "bond accounts" that provide easy access to diversified fixed income exposure without requiring deep expertise in the bond market.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThe transformative power of inner change ripples through every aspect of Coach JV's extraordinary life story. From the depths of opiate addiction and a suicide attempt in 2006 to building multiple successful companies and achieving financial freedom, his journey reveals that our external reality shifts dramatically when we address our internal landscape first. "When I changed me, the environment changed," Coach JV explains, sharing how he went from selling everything he owned to feed his addiction to completely reinventing himself through spiritual awakening and dedicated personal development. With raw vulnerability, he recounts the pivotal moment when, unable to buy Christmas presents for his three-year-old daughter, he realized he'd hit rock bottom. That crisis became the catalyst for what he describes as the death of John Vasquez and the birth of Coach JV. What makes this conversation so powerful is Coach JV's unflinching honesty about his transformation. Starting as a banker after recovery, he climbed rapidly through the corporate ranks, acquiring the trappings of conventional success—only to discover he was still chasing external validation. A chance conversation with a contented gardener during executive banking school sparked a deeper questioning that led to his true purpose: helping others escape the "just-over-broke" system through financial education and spiritual growth. His perspective on cryptocurrency offers particularly valuable insights. Rather than viewing crypto as a speculative gamble, Coach JV analyzes it through the lens of his banking expertise, identifying coins with genuine utility in the evolving financial infrastructure. He shares his diversification strategy that combines high-growth potential assets with more stable investments like cash-value life insurance, real estate, and dividend-producing stocks.

1 Navigating Market Volatility: A Conversation with Wall Street Veteran Jay Hatfield 47:36
47:36 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked47:36
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedJay Hatfield cuts through market noise with a refreshingly clear perspective on inflation: stick a yellow sticky note on your mirror that says "inflation is caused by excessive monetary growth." This fundamental principle helps investors avoid being misled by commodity price fluctuations that resolve naturally through market mechanisms rather than representing true inflation. The current market volatility, Hatfield explains, largely reflects normal seasonal patterns during non-earnings periods when high-flying stocks typically experience pullbacks. While acknowledging a potential growth slowdown with Fed policy about "150 basis points too tight," he maintains a bullish long-term outlook on both bonds and stocks, expecting rates to continue dropping as the Fed eventually recognizes the economic deceleration. Hatfield's investment approach emphasizes human intelligence over algorithmic trading – a philosophy he applies across his firm's six ETFs managing $2.6 billion in assets. He articulates clear distinctions between fixed income investment strategies, where active management provides significant advantages through understanding call risk and credit dynamics, unlike equity markets where momentum sometimes prevails. His firm conducts granular analysis of individual securities, even examining specific buildings within REIT portfolios to identify value opportunities where others see only sector-wide challenges. Particularly illuminating is Hatfield's contrarian view on recession dynamics, noting they typically begin with investment declines that impact employment before affecting consumer spending. This framework, combined with his assessment of China's economy continuing to grow at around 5% despite negative narratives, provides investors with valuable perspective for navigating current market conditions. For income-focused investors, Hatfield offers practical insights on preferred securities, bonds, and midstream energy companies, explaining how these complement each other with different risk-volatility profiles while generating reliable income streams in various economic environments. His call-writing strategy for large-cap equities demonstrates how active management can enhance returns when applied with judgment rather than mechanical rules. Human-powered market intelligence, developed through decades of experience and rigorous fundamental analysis, remains Hatfield's core advantage in a world increasingly dominated by algorithms and momentum trading.

Join us for a compelling conversation with Michael Gayed, Publisher of The Lead-Lag Report, and Jeff Sarti from Morton Wealth as we challenge the status quo on what it means to truly diversify an investment portfolio. In a world of unpredictable markets, we discuss the vital importance of holding assets that may not always be in vogue but can safeguard against economic downturns. From the shifting reliability of bonds to the necessity of strategic asset weighting, this episode offers a fresh perspective on achieving consistent performance and managing risk in today's financial landscape. But that's not all. We also shed light on the often-overlooked private credit market, where Jeff shares insights on navigating its complexities and potential pitfalls. With concerns about liquidity and weakened underwriting standards in the spotlight, discover how exploring less crowded markets might just be the key to mitigating risks. Drawing on the work of behavioral finance experts like Daniel Kahneman, we tackle the familiarity bias that can cloud investment judgment, using Apple as a prime example of how brand recognition can lead to overconfidence. It's a reminder to always seek genuine understanding over mere comfort when making investment decisions. Rounding out our conversation, we scrutinize the speculative excesses and valuation concerns permeating the current market scenario. With an eye toward long-term investment strategies, we emphasize the need for a value-oriented approach amidst macroeconomic challenges. While navigating the pressures and perplexities of fiscal policies, excessive liquidity, and changing trading mentalities, we stress the importance of staying grounded in fundamentals.

Join us as we welcome Euan Sinclair, a distinguished expert in the field, who challenges the common perception of options as intricate financial instruments. Discover how the landscape has transformed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by a surge of retail traders who have redefined the market dynamics. Euan shares his insights into the inherent simplicity of options that facilitate effective modeling, and we explore the rise of zero DTE options trading, emphasizing the importance of seasonality and innovative risk management strategies. Dive into the potential risks lurking within the options trading industry.

Can political beliefs truly influence your investment portfolio? Hal makes a compelling case with his America First ETF (MAGA), which taps into companies backing conservative agendas. We sift through the impact of deregulation on sectors like industrials, financials, and oil and gas, painting a picture of how these areas could flourish under different political climates, particularly under a Trump administration. Our conversation deepens as we explore the potential ripple effects of a Trump presidency on the industrial sector and beyond. With military giants like Lockheed and Boeing poised for growth, we discuss how continued military spending and domestic infrastructure projects may bolster these companies' futures. We also navigate the financial industry’s trajectory, considering how deregulation and Supreme Court rulings could spark sector-wide growth. Plus, we probe the MAGA ETF's performance during the Biden administration—could its winning streak continue with a shift in political tides? In the concluding chapters, we turn our focus to the broader economic implications of deregulation. Are energy costs and inflation inherently linked to political leadership? We critically assess this, while also examining potential shifts in corporate strategies, such as the reduction of DEI programs, and the prioritization of shareholder value. Our episode wraps up with an insightful discussion on international trade dynamics and investment strategies, delving into the nuances of tariffs, currency strength, and market indices.
