Fiscal & Monetary Madness To Blow Up Bonds, Stocks & Housing In 2026? | Michael Pento
When today’s guest was on this channel earlier this year, he warned that a ‘triumvirate” of three massive asset price bubbles -- in credit, real estate and stocks -- threatened to take down our fragile economy and dash the retirement hopes for millions. Since then, the bubbles have only expanded. Will they expand further -- or pop -- in 2026? To find out, we have the great good fortune to welcome money manager Michael Pento back to the program. Michael predicts that fiscal & monetary madness are highly likely to blow up bonds, stocks and housing next year.
The 60/40 Portfolio Is Dead Because Bonds No Longer Work | Louis Gave
While much of Wall Street’s focus over past recent years has been on the AI hyperscalers, there are an increasing number of seismic developments happening internationally investors need to be aware of. For example, as a basket, emerging market stocks have outperformed the S&P 500 this year.
Stocks have been this far overvalued only a handful of times within the past 25 years. They could drop 50-60% from today's levels and *still* not enter a true bear market says portfolio manager Lance Roberts. But should a correction of that size happen, he warns, few investors are prepared to survive that. We discuss his outlook for the markets for 2026, whether he thinks a Santa Clause rally will arrive next week, his outlook for inflation & bond yields, and his firm's latest trades.
OpenAI quietly boosts some of Astra’s evaluation metrics, and continues to change others post-launch
OpenAI has changed several evaluation benchmarks for its GPT-6 Astra model since first publishing a blog post announcement mid-afternoon on Sept. 3. In some cases, the numbers on the updated versions showed Astra performing better, while numbers for models from OpenAI’s arch rival Anthropic got worse. The changes occurred amid an unusual rollout of the blog post. OpenAI originally planned for the post to go live at 2 p.m. ET, but it took almost another two hours before it was widely viewable online.
