About this Episode
John Berkley, Greg, and Todd discuss the "extraordinarily expensive" stock market and elevated valuations. Although the S&P 500 is up 13.3% year-to-date, they highlight that legendary investors are signaling caution: Jim Rogers has sold every equity, holding 100% cash, and Warren Buffett maintains a high cash position. The discussion emphasizes that in this high-risk environment, the focus must be on preservation. They dissect the inverted yield curve, noting its 100% accuracy in predicting recession, which typically occurs 12 to 18 months after the inversion. The panel also examines the historical impact of the "Greenspan Put" and the current dangers posed by high margin debt.
