#164 - Building and Preserving Wealth

About this episode

The episode discusses the recent trends in U.S. equities and strategies for managing investments during market downturns.

U.S. equities rallied strongly from 2022 to early 2026, led by large caps, before Iran conflict fears triggered declines and unusual drops in precious metals. Markets turned volatile, with leadership shifting to smaller caps. The focus remains on risk management, timely reentry, and monitoring oil, rates, inflation, and geopolitical developments. Listen in this UPdate our portfolio management strategies for the past five years and our goal to capitalize on growth opportunities and minimize risks during the market downturns.
