In this episode, we break down the biggest market stories shaping the rest of 2026. We kick things off with a Trading Tip of the Week, then dive into where gold and silver could peak after their historic run. We also unpack why the Dow dropped over 300 points following renewed tariff threats tied to Greenland and what it means for global markets.

Next, we analyze China’s Q4 economic growth slowdown and its impact on commodities, supply chains, and U.S. stocks. We discuss Meta’s future as AI spending ramps up, share a group of stocks built for long-term holding, and give our outlook on Robinhood ($HOOD) following insider selling.

We also tackle concerns around OpenAI’s cash burn, ads, and rising competition, highlight beaten-down stocks that could be primed for a rebound, and close with an important conversation on whether buying a home in 2026 makes sense in today’s interest-rate environment.

We also highlight Dow winners and identify software companies positioned to thrive in the AI age.

Later, the conversation turns more reflective and strategic. We discuss a belief we’ve changed our minds on, why “investing in what you know” can be misleading, and which beaten-down stocks may present opportunity.
