With 2025 seemingly off to a rocky start, we dive into why the markets have responded negatively after good news hit the wires.

00:38:10

Key topics and questions we talk about include the following:

• Why were the markets ‘puking’ on Friday, especially when the unemployment rate has been falling?
• Has the stock market finally been rolling over as we have been expecting?
• Did the expectation of no rate cuts until June see the markets reporting negatively?
• Looking at the TLT ETF, what can it tell us about how bonds and the 10-year yields have been performing?
• If I had to pick one or the other, would it be bonds or equities?
• If equities were to drop around 30%, would that fall be from the recent highs?
• How far could the market actually fall, and how long could it last?
• What signs do I look for that may indicate a top or bottom could be happening?
• Is gold a barometer of bad times ahead? Could we see gold reach $3000?
• What is the outlook for gold and silver for the coming year? Will the correlation between gold and the stock market continue?
• If precious metals and equities will drop in the new year, where is a safe haven?
• What positions am I in right now?
• What is the divergence in energy that I have been seeing on the charts?
• Is there any positive upside to be found in anything other than the US dollar?
