About this episode

The episode discusses the factors driving the recent market selloff and offers strategies for investors amidst geopolitical uncertainty.

Markets are under pressure, and in this episode we break down what’s really driving the recent selloff—and what investors should do next. With stocks down for five straight weeks and major indexes firmly in the red for 2026, we walk through how the Iran conflict is creating a global oil shock, reigniting inflation concerns, and putting interest rate cuts at risk. From the Magnificent Seven getting hit hard to rising volatility across asset classes, we explain why this environment feels different—and why traditional “safe havens” aren’t behaving as expected. We also explore the key scenarios ahead: a short conflict that creates a buy-the-dip opportunity, versus a prolonged war that leads to continued market pressure and multiple compressions. We discuss how higher energy costs ripple through transportation, consumer goods, and even AI infrastructure, and why patience, discipline, and position sizing matter more than ever. In a market driven by uncertainty and geopolitical risk, we focus on strategy—not prediction—so you can protect your portfolio while staying ready for opportunity. *This podcast contains general information that may not be suitable for everyone.
