Episode notes
Economic Resilience and Warning Signs
- The global economy shows surprising resilience despite several challenges like war, economic nationalism, and high debt.
- However, warning signs exist, especially the Fed losing control of long-term bond yields, indicating rising inflation fears.

- While the stock market indices appear strong, this is driven by a few large stocks, and market breadth is weak.
- Value stocks, community banks, and small caps offer potential opportunities as they are not as overpriced.
Gold Price Drivers and Outlook
- Gold prices are rising due to concerns about fiat currency purchasing power and the weaponization of the US dollar.
- Foreign governments are buying gold, and its current low market share suggests significant upside potential.
