About this Episode

Join John Berkley and the Investment Committee (Todd and Greg) analyzing the market’s paradox, where indexes soar despite more stocks declining than advancing. The discussion turns to the Federal Reserve’s dilemma, as rate cuts push longer-term yields higher, signaling increasing inflation risk. The committee tackles the problem of "unsustainable" debt and structural inflation, which acts as an indirect tax on citizens. Learn why experts recommend diversification, hard assets like gold, and reducing risk in today’s chaotic financial environment. Discover the strategy of tweaking your portfolio to find enduring value.
