New Trends With Friends Episode: De-Globalization, Degeneracy & Gold: Why Markets Are More Unhinged Than Ever

Good afternoon everyone,
In this episode of Trends with Friends, Michael Parekh, Phil Pearlman and I are joined by special guest Lewis Johnson (CIO of Capital Wealth Advisors) as we tackle the seismic shifts shaking up global markets.
We cover a lot of ground including peak degeneracy, the semiconductor index rollover, the rise of de-globalization, gold’s record-breaking rally, and the brewing economic chaos under Trump & Musk’s influence. We also unpack how defense stocks in Europe are soaring, why Waymo is taking over self-driving and Google may win the FSD (full self driving) race over Tesla and how investors should prepare for a world that looks nothing like the past 60 years. Tickers covered include GLD ( ▲ 0.877% ) QQQ ( ▼ 0.316% ) SMH ( ▲ 0.969% ) TSLA ( ▼ 4.395% )
