Peter Berezin: Is this the Wile E. Coyote moment for investors?
What if the U.S. economy is already sprinting off a cliff—and just hasn’t looked down yet? In this riveting conversation, BCA Research’s Peter Berezin joins Pierre Daillie to unpack whether markets are living through their Wile E. Coyote moment: running on optimism while gravity—the reality of stagflation, slowing growth, and political interference—waits below.
🎙️ Episode Summary
In this episode of Insight Is Capital, BCA Research’s Chief Global Strategist Peter Berezin offers a sobering yet strategic take on today’s markets. From stagflation and tariffs to AI hype and fiscal fragility, Berezin breaks down why the next 12–18 months could reshape everything investors think they know about “soft landings.” He discusses:
- Why stagflation risk is rising as inflation edges higher and employment weakens.
- How political meddling and trillion-dollar deficits could push the Fed into impossible choices.
- Why the housing market, not GDP, is the clearest gauge of monetary pain.
- Where investors can still find safety—in gold, yen, defense, and healthcare—and why “waiting to see the whites of the recession’s eyes” might be the smartest move right now.
- Plus: the AI paradox—huge promise, uncertain profits, and eerie echoes of the 2000 tech crash.
