Episode notes

INSIGHT

Gold's Rise Could Signal Regime Change

Gold's recent surge may signal a monetary regime shift rather than simple price action.
Pricing everything in gold or using gold-denominated math can be misleading for everyday purchases.

ADVICE

Don't Rely On Rate Cuts To Save Markets

Don't assume rate cuts immediately stop market collapses; rate cuts often mark tops during crashes.
Expect the Fed to intervene only after markets have burned and stabilizing optics are ready.

INSIGHT

The Complacency Bubble Warning

The current market is a 'complacency bubble' driven by defensive hope, not euphoric exuberance.
Overvalued assets historically revert; sustained negative valuation drift is plausible over decades.
