July 21 The Market Is Sending Mixed Signals… Should Investors Be Worried?
July 21, 2026 - Stocks surged, AI continued to dominate headlines, and investors celebrated another strong day—but beneath the surface, the market may be telling a very different story.

July 20, 2026 – Zach Abraham and Chase Taylor discuss one of the biggest disconnects in today's markets: why oil prices remain remarkably calm despite escalating conflict around the Strait of Hormuz.

July 17 What If Iran Doesn’t Stop When We Do?
July 17, 2026 – Chase Taylor breaks down another rise in oil prices as shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains severely restricted and the risk of disruption spreads toward the Red Sea. The market appears to assume the United States can de-escalate whenever it chooses—but what happens if Iran decides not to stop? Chase examines the low-probability, high-impact scenario that could send oil sharply higher, along with China’s latest AI breakthrough, weakness in the biggest technology names, a potential turnaround in New Zealand, and why modern warfare is exposing serious flaws in America’s defense strategy.

July 16 The Risk Markets Refuse to Price
July 16, 2026 - Markets are pricing the war as though the biggest energy risk is simply whether the Strait of Hormuz opens or closes. Chase Taylor argues that the more dangerous scenario may be lasting damage to refineries, pipelines, export terminals, and other infrastructure that cannot reopen overnight. With semiconductor and memory stocks already experiencing violent drawdowns, leverage is beginning to reveal itself in unexpected places. A sudden energy shock could expose even more of it—spilling into equities, bonds, currencies, inflation, and consumer spending. The question is not whether the worst-case scenario is inevitable. It is whether portfolios are prepared for a risk that markets appear to be treating as though it barely exists.

July 15 This Bubble Isn't Like the Others
July 15, 2026 — Is today's market another dot-com bubble, or is something fundamentally different this time? Zach argues that while parts of the market are clearly overheated, many of the underlying businesses are real—and that distinction matters. He explains why volatility may be the price investors pay for long-term opportunity, why relative valuations still matter, and where he believes investors should be looking despite the noise.

July 14 What If a Recession Is the Answer?
July 14, 2026 - A cooler inflation report gave markets another reason to celebrate—but does it actually solve the bigger problem? Zach and Chase dig into why lower inflation, rising oil prices, housing affordability, tariffs, and Federal Reserve policy may all be pulling in different directions. More importantly, they explore the uncomfortable tradeoffs policymakers face when trying to fix an economy distorted by years of easy money. The conversation ends with a provocative question: What if the solution everyone wants isn't actually the solution the economy needs?

July 13 Oil Didn't Break the Market
July 13, 2026 - When geopolitical tensions rise, investors instinctively expect one thing: higher oil prices and market turmoil. But markets don't always follow the obvious script. Zach and Chase break down why the latest Middle East developments haven't produced the lasting shock many expected. From the Strait of Hormuz and global energy flows to liquidity, inflation, and market psychology, they explore why markets often price fear differently than headlines suggest.

July 11 Inflation Is Changing How People Live
July 10, 2026 - Markets closed the week with another quiet session, but Chase Taylor argues that the more interesting story isn't what stocks did today—it's how persistent inflation continues to reshape everyday decisions. From AI spending and Meta's capital allocation to an unexpected observation about RVs, Chase explores how people adapt when higher prices become the new normal. Those behavioral shifts may create investment opportunities in places most investors aren't even looking.
