Leveraged ETFs present significant systemic risks and structural misunderstandings for retail investors, primarily due to their focus on daily rather than total returns. Because these funds must reset leverage daily, they are forced to buy as prices rise and sell as they fall, creating a "negative gamma" effect that am...

Jonathan Wellum, a value-oriented investment manager, prioritizes high-value assets like copper, uranium, silver, and gold over volatile rare earth m...
Gold functions as the apex predator of the financial system, acting as a stabilizing force that forces a behavioral shift among central banks and financial institutions.

Commodities remain a critical, underinvested sector essential for supporting modern technology, data centers, and national security. As Western economies prioritize reshoring and reduce reliance on China, the demand for metals and minerals continues to outpace production. Mining companies currently offer strong free ca...
Geopolitical instability in the Middle East has fundamentally altered global energy markets, rendering the traditional "grand bargain" of U.S.-guaranteed maritime trade obsolete.

Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research, attributes this strength to the unprecedented wealth of the baby boomer generation, which holds over $1...

Market stability is...

The S&P 500 has effectively split into two non-correlating markets: a concentrated group of 41 AI-related stocks, which account for nearly half of the index's tot...
Persistent U.S. fiscal deficits of 6% to 7% create an implicit cap on Treasury yields, as higher rates would render the federal budget insolvent. Portfolio Manager Andrew Sarna identifies this fiscal reality, coupled with an AI-driven economic overhang, as the primary driver for a necessary shift toward real assets. Wh...
