Episode notes
Potential Market Bottom
- The market's wild swings may signal a short-term bottom, but valuation concerns remain.
- Respecting prior highs is a good sign, but metrics like the CAPE ratio are still high.
Global Restructuring
- The Trump administration's tariff approach aims to restructure the global economy, not just U.S. trade.
- They're asking other countries to change domestic tax policies, creating control issues.
Trade and Job Losses
