  • In our latest bi-weekly livestream with Stephanie Pomboy this morning, we had a lot of ground to cover.We tackled the unexpected market reaction (stocks up/oil down) to this weekend’s bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities by the US, whether the Fed is earning its “too late & often wrong” criticism, fast-growing delinquencies among student loans, the dwindling inflationary odds, and the brightening outlook for gold.

  • WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET? SCHEDULE YOUR FREE PORTFOLIO REVIEW with Thoughtful Money's endorsed financial advisors at https://www.thoughtfulmoney.comOver this past weekend, the United States conducted an airstrike that appears to have destroyed Iran's most important nuclear facilities.The US had been supporting Israel with defensive measures in its military campaign with Iran. But this marks the first offensive role America has taken in the conflict.What material impact will this have on the markets, if any?To discuss, we're fortunate to welcome back to the program market technician and portfolio manager Katie Stockton, Founder and Managing Partner of Fairlead Strategies.Katie's models show stocks losing momentum and concerning technical weakness. But Wall Street remains optimistic -- perhaps too much so.In her mind, the likely movement is to the downside from here. Which is likely to catch many current longs by surprise.#marketcorrection #volatility #technicalanalysis _____________________________________________ Thoughtful Money LLC is a Registered Investment Advisor Promoter.We produce educational content geared for the individual investor.

  • Of all the people I've interviewed since launching this Thoughtful Money channel, today's guest's portfolio management track record has been spookily accurate.The last time I interviewed, which was back in mid-March, he had drastically reduced his long positions and declared himself "ragingly bearish".And in the weeks that followed, the S&P plunged nearly 700 points to the post-Liberation Day lows.So, how is he feeling about the markets now?To find out, we'll ask the man himself.We're very fortunate to welcome back to the program Darius Dale, CEO of 42 Macro—a top Wall Street leading macro forecasting and market timing service.Darius thinks that current economic growth estimates are far too low and that, as a result, stocks will be forced to reprice higher as an 'explosive' bull market is born.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

  • Stocks are still in a technical breakdown, approaching a test of the 20 Day daily moving average (DMA)Portfolio manager Lance Roberts thinks the S&P could easily drop another 100 points or more until it hits support.Once it does, he thinks that will be a good time to add capital back into quality stocks that have sold off a bit.So in the near term, keep your powder dry -- but be ready to act once that moment arrives.Lance and I discuss this coming oppportunity, as well as AI, energy, Tesla, why the Fed is 'too late' in its policy response yet again, as well as Lance's firm's latest trades in this week's Market Recap.For everything that mattered to markets this week, watch this video.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

I've certainly interviewed several experts who are feeling pretty bullish right now.But that doesn't mean there aren't reasons for concern: technically, fundamentally, as well as on the macro level. Especially when major news bombs are dropping in the headlines nearly every day.How is the average investor supposed to navigate such a chaotic market?For seasoned expertise, we have the good fortune of welcoming back to the program high net worth financial advisor Ted Oakley, Managing Partner and Founder of Oxbow Advisors.Ted is concerned that average investors, especially those 50 and older, are too overexposed to stocks -- they hold a higher percentage of their assets in equities than they ever have before in history.#marketcorrection #stocks #investing _____________________________________________ Thoughtful Money LLC is a Registered Investment Advisor Promoter.We produce educational content geared for the individual investor.
