From rising private credit risk to the options trading boom and AI-fueled rallies, this market keeps taking punches and bouncing back. In this video, which was recorded live at the MoneyShow Orlando, David Keller and Steve Sosnick unpack what’s really been driving price action.

This video also explores narrowing leadership, breadth, and momentum deterioration, the rotation into defensives, and how retail “buy the dip” behavior shows up in options flows. We then dig into gold’s surge alongside equities, why trend-followers still respect the tape, where AI winners and laggards are diverging, and how to size positions without letting one theme take over your portfolio.

We then break down volatility as a mean-reverting asset, the surge in leveraged ETFs, selling puts vs. buying protection, and timeless lessons from 1987, including the right way to think about the so-called “Fed put.”
