Positively Sloped is where markets, culture, and momentum collide — because the most interesting things in the world are the ones trending up and to the right. Jake and Scott break down what’s moving — in the markets, in the headlines, and in your group chat — with sharp insights, real opinions, and just enough irreverence to make finance actually fun. These are the conversations we’ve been having for years — debates, hot takes, and deep dives — just now with a mic in front of us.

    17. AI Arms Race, Oil Volatility, and the Fed’s Next Move

    In this episode of Positively Sloped, guest co-host and portfolio manager Neil Peplinski joins the studio to break down the high-stakes intersection of geopolitics and finance. We dive deep into the Iran conflict's impact on oil prices and whether the recent S&P 500 rally is a fundamental shift or just a headline recovery.  Explore the "AI Arms Race" as we analyze the staggering valuations of OpenAI and Anthropic, and compare today’s tech hype to the .com bubble. We also tackle the Federal Reserve’s dual mandate, looking at how recent job losses and persistent inflation put Jerome Powell between a rock and a hard place heading into his final meetings. Finally, we wrap up with March Madness picks and our "Fades or Trades" for the Detroit Tigers and the March jobs report.  © 2026 Kingsview Wealth Management Important Disclosures:  Kingsview Wealth Management is an investment adviser registered with the SEC.

    16. Iran War Shocks Markets | Nvidia vs AMD, Nasdaq Correction & Private Credit Panic

    Markets are reacting fast to escalating tensions in the Middle East. We break down how the Iran conflict is impacting stocks, oil, inflation expectations, and volatility and what it means for investors right now.  We dive into the AI semiconductor trade, comparing NVIDIA and Advanced Micro Devices, and discuss whether this pullback is a buying opportunity or the start of something deeper. Is the Nasdaq heading for an official 10% correction?  On the private markets side, we examine redemption pressure at Blackstone and discuss whether firms like Ares Management and Blue Owl Capital are facing a broader private credit reckoning — or if panic is creating opportunity.  © 2026 Kingsview Wealth Management  Important Disclosures: Kingsview Wealth Management is an investment adviser registered with the SEC.
