Hello and welcome to this next installment of the Finance U podcast.
In retrospect, this was the theme:

Today, Paul Kiker and I continue our conversations about:
- Silver
- Gold (my favorite Tier 0 asset)
- The Crack-Up boom (and $400 billion of recent ETF flows)
- Cracks in the AI bubble
- The market risks of Trump’s sudden rearrangements of the geopolitical landscape
- The profound error of the Biden administration in weaponizing the dollar against both sovereign and private Russian assets
- Japan’s continuing bond crisis
- The fact that the US shale boom is o.v.e.r.
The trick is going to be hanging onto what you’ve got. The gyrations are going to be extraordinary.
Hanging on for dear life is going to be a dominant wealth preservation strategy … as long as one is nimble too.
Sounds contradictory, but that’s what a really good financial advisor and wealth manager can and will do for you.
Make of this what you will, but there’s a huge push to get into stocks at a pace that is far beyond the usual norms.

Despite those $400 billion of flows (in 1 month!) you know what’s kind of odd? Paul noted that stocks aren’t really up all that much, indicating that there might be a good bit of what Wall Street calls ‘distribution’ going on.

In other words, be careful out there, everyone. This has the hallmarks of a rug-pull.
Enjoy the conversation!
