Global military spending has been rising steadily and is projected to accelerate significantly over the next …
Q4 GDP growth revised down to just 0.7%
Hold on to your butts. This is not good in conjunction with possible sustained high oil prices. I tend to be optimistic things will work out in the long run but now is a great time to rebalance if you are overexposed to risk assets relative to your strategic asset …
Investors Hunt for Hedges as War Shatters Decades-Old Strategies
The intensifying conflict in Iran has disrupted long-standing financial patterns, causing stocks and bonds to move in unison rather than offsetting one another. This shift has rendered the classic 60/40 portfolio ineffective, as traditional safety nets fail to protect against the threat of stagflation. To navigate this instability, fund managers …

A lot of people are leaving crypto right now. What's keeping you here?

Why is losing $100k on 0DTE options called "investing," but hedging a recession on Polymarket is "illegal gambling"? It's time to admit Prediction Markets are superior to the Stock Market.
Hear me out. We are stuck in a 1930s regulatory mindset. The SEC/CFTC keeps blocking Prediction Markets because they 'lack underlying assets.' But let’s be real: 1. **Stock Market:** A massive sentiment machine driven by Fed liquidity and HFT bots. Does a P/E ratio of 80 reflect 'underlying value' or …
