About this episode

Ram Ahluwalia discusses the implications of the geopolitical conflict with Iran and its impact on markets, inflation, and technological advancements in defense.

In this episode of FSD, Ram Ahluwalia of Lumida Wealth Management breaks down why the current geopolitical conflict with Iran is likely to take much longer than the markets currently anticipate. He analyzes the "shifting goalposts" of the administration's 4-to-6-week timeline and explains why the lack of trust between parties necessitates military coercion over simple diplomacy. Ram also discusses the pernicious "inflation passthrough" from higher oil and shipping costs, the dangers of "death by cult" in retail stock tribes, and why American capitalism will eventually find technological cures for high memory and GPU prices. Finally, he shares exclusive insights into Lumida's latest defense tech deals, including Shield AI and Neuresonance, as featured in Bloomberg.
