    Money Is Leaving Tech Stocks: Diversifying for the Next Bull Market Phase

    Rotation is the word of the year, and it’s reshaping everything from tech stocks to energy, materials, and even global markets. In this episode of the MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast, we sit down with Victoria Fernandez, Chief Market Strategist at Crossmark Global Investments, and Paul Hickey, Co-Founder of Bespoke Investment Group, to break down what this market rotation really means for investors. We talk through why leadership is shifting away from mega-cap tech, how a “bullish but brittle” market changes portfolio strategy, and where investors need to be more selective right now. The conversation also touches on interest rates, the Fed, fixed income strategies, global markets, and what recent volatility in commodities and crypto is signaling about liquidity and risk. If you’re trying to navigate a market that’s broadening out, getting choppier, and requiring far more tactical trading than it used to, this episode will help you understand where the opportunities (and the risks) are hiding.   CHAPTERS: 00:00 — 2026 Is a Market of Rotation, Not One Trade 02:10 — “Bullish but Brittle”: What That Really Means 04:10 — Which Sectors Are Working (and Which Aren’t) 06:00 — AI Disruption, SaaS Pressure, and Market Uncertainty 08:10 — Growth, Rates, and Why the Story Cuts Both Ways 09:20 — The Fed, Rate Cuts, and the Fixed Income Outlook 11:50 — Why Global Markets Are Beating the U.S. 14:00 — Gold, Silver, and Crypto: Signal or Speculation? 17:20 — What Q1 Earnings and “Triple Plays” Could Reveal 19:10 — How to Buffer Volatility in Your Portfolio   Don't forget to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE for more expert insights!

    What’s Behind the Selloff in Crypto, SaaS, and AI Stocks | Michael Lee & Merlin Rothfeld

    AI stocks and crypto just got rocked — and the bounce since then hasn’t exactly inspired confidence. In this episode of the MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast, we sit down with Michael Lee of Michael Lee Strategy and Merlin Rothfeld of the Trading Academy to unpack what’s really behind the recent turbulence. We break down the liquidity squeeze hitting markets, the surge in AI capex, and why SaaS and software names are suddenly under pressure. We also dig into Bitcoin’s pullback, the crypto shakeout, and what past cycles suggest about what could come next. Then we zoom out to the bigger picture: tokenization, digital financial rails, and whether blockbuster IPOs like OpenAI and SpaceX could reshape market sentiment. It’s a fast-moving, no-nonsense conversation about risk, hype, and where the real opportunities might be hiding.
