Markets are sending mixed signals—and this week, we break it all down.

From rising inflation and volatile oil prices tied to global conflict, to a surprising stealth bull market led by old-school stocks, commodities, and utilities, this episode connects the dots most investors are missing. While headlines focus on AI hype, the reality is a $65B price tag and a long road to full adoption.

We also dive into:

• Why earnings season could drag longer than ever
• The real story behind job participation hitting historic lows
• How war is impacting supply chains, construction, and travel costs
• Why commodities (oil, cattle, copper, soybeans) are outperforming
• The truth about tax migration, red vs. blue states, and rising refunds
• What’s happening with bonds, real estate, and the strong U.S. dollar
• And the growing role of crypto in global conflict and speculation

Plus, a boots-on-the-ground look at Las Vegas vs. national media narratives, and what investors should actually be paying attention to right now.

If you want the big picture—not just headlines—this is the episode you don’t want to miss.
