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.And to name just a few others:1) Japanese bond yields have surged to the highest levels in 20 years, threatening to put an end to the carry trade2) A US-driven regime change in Venezuela looks imminent3) China continues to fire its monetary and fiscal bazookas with gusto in attempt to pull itself out of its deep balance sheet recession4) And in the wake of negotiating a tenuous peace between Isreal and Palestine, renewed efforts are underway to bring an end to the Russia/Ukraine warWhich international trends are the most important for investors to track? What are the biggest risks? And where are the biggest opportunities?To better understand the situation from a non-US perspective, we're fortunate to welcome back to the program Louis Gave, Founding Partner and CEO at Gavekal.

The Market Is "Very Fragile" | Lance Roberts

Short of a dramatic surprise in the next few weeks, the markets should end 2025 with another big double-digit positive return, for third year in a row.A string of three-peats like this is quite rare in markets. Which raises the question: Can the momentum last in 2026?Or will the market's returns start to mean revert.To discuss, 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 thinks stocks are as expensive as he's ever seen them in his long career. And while he admits no one knows when the market top will be in, he's pretty confident we're in the 8th or 9th inning of the bull market at this stage.

Stocks Are "As Expensive As I've Ever Seen Them" | Ted Oakley

TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANDY'S OFFER ON SILVER, go to thoughtfulmoney.com/buygold 

The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee just released the outcome of its meeting this week.

As expected, the Fed cut its policy rate by 0.25% (with three governors dissenting - the most since 1988!).

It also announced that it will start purchasing shorter-term US Treasurys, to maintain “an ample supply of reserves” (is this pre-QE?)

To discuss, Fed-watcher Axel Merk is joining us again to deliver his expert reaction to the Fed’s latest guidance as well as take your questions live.
