Weekend Show - Dana Lyons & Rick Bensignor - 2026 Playbook: Metals Momentum, Market Breadth, What Comes After the “Mag-7” Era

As 2025 closes with major indexes near highs - but investors still oddly cautious - Dana Lyons and Rick Bensignor step back to map the setup for 2026. The common thread: market participation (breadth) is improving, leadership is rotating beyond mega-cap tech, and precious metals remain one of the most durable trends, while crypto and AI require more selective timing.

• Segment 1 & 2 - We kick off the KE Report Weekend Show with Dana Lyons, fund manager and editor of the Lyons Share Pro, who wraps up 2025 by sharing his technical and cycle-based outlook for equities, sector rotation, and sentiment heading into 2026. Dana discusses why his models remain constructive on the broad market, highlights improving small- and mid-cap participation, outlines key sector leadership trends, and explains why precious metals remain the strongest long-term opportunity while cryptocurrencies face near-term technical headwinds.
