Larry McDonald: SP500 Is A Screaming Sell; But Buy The Dip In Energy
About this episode
Larry McDonald discusses the current state of the SP500 and energy stocks amidst geopolitical tensions and market cycles.
Wilfred Frost welcomes back Larry McDonald, founder of The Bear Traps Report and bestselling author of “A Colossal Failure of Common Sense” (2009) and “How to Listen When Markets Speak” (2024), for a timely, in-person conversation in London.

But he would use the dip in energy stocks post-ceasefire as a buying opportunity. Larry explains why he believes we are still only in the “second or third inning” of the hard-asset super-cycle that has already seen outsized gains in precious metals, energy and other real-asset plays like copper since his latest book was published in March 2024, which called for buying hard assets over financial assets.
