In this special WealthWise episode, Roger and Richard build a complete framework for forecasting the future of the markets. Roger shares how algorithmic investing once turned early crypto bets into extraordinary returns, and how AI now makes that same style of thinking available to everyday investors. Together, they outline a practical rule set anyone can use: defining portfolio allocation, choosing a time horizon, selecting long versus short positions, mapping sectors into buckets, evaluating options versus equity, measuring volatility and beta, and setting clear entry and exit rules.

They explore the biggest forces shaping the next market cycle: the AI boom, the risk of a quantum computing bubble, the sudden rise of rare earth companies backed by government contracts, energy infrastructure challenges, and the role of geopolitical tension in accelerating or breaking these trends. They also discuss why some analysts believe the market could double before a 20 to 50 percent correction, what options markets are pricing in now, and why the next decade may hinge on automation, robotics, CRISPR-driven healthcare breakthroughs, and the expanding global power struggle around AI.
