    Is China Abandoning U.S. Treasuries? - 02/19/26

    China's holdings of U.S. Treasuries have fallen to their lowest level since 2008. That's not a headline — that's a structural shift. In today's episode, we break down what it means when one of America's largest foreign creditors reduces exposure to U.S. government debt. Is this geopolitical strategy? Currency management? Diversification? Or a warning sign for the U.S. dollar and bond market? We'll explore: Why China is cutting back on U.S. Treasury holdings How this impacts the bond market and interest rates What it means for the U.S. dollar (DXY) Who is stepping in to buy U.S. debt? Whether this signals a long-term shift in global capital flows The implications for stocks, gold, and global markets When foreign demand for Treasuries shifts, the ripple effects can be massive. If you trade bonds, equities, commodities, or currencies — this is required listening.

    AI's Next Victim? - 02/12/26

    AI disruption just hit a new corner of the market—and this time it's real estate developers and commercial real estate companies taking the punch. In today's episode, we break down the sharp selloff in real estate stocks tied to growing concerns about AI's impact on office demand, employment shifts, and long-term property valuations. Is this a justified repricing—or another overreaction fueled by headlines? We'll explore how AI-driven productivity shifts could ripple through commercial real estate (CBRE), REITs, and developers—and what traders should be watching as capital rotates. I'll also share a candid review of my recently closed position in Coinbase, which ended in a significant loss. No spin. Just what happened, why it happened, and what the lesson is moving forward. If you trade tech, crypto, or macro themes, this episode connects the dots between disruption, risk, and discipline. Listen now: 👉 AI's Next Victim?

    What Are Predictive Markets? - 02/11/26

    Prediction markets are exploding in popularity—but most people still don't understand how they actually work. In today's episode, we break down the surge in predictive markets, what they are, how they function, and the big questions traders are asking: Are prediction markets legal? How do they differ from traditional markets? And what risks do they carry for you as a participant? We'll cut through the hype and explain the mechanics behind event-based trading, how pricing reflects probability, and why regulators are paying closer attention. Whether you're looking at political prediction markets, economic-event contracts, or blockchain-based platforms, you need to understand the structure before you risk capital. I'll also answer several viewer questions—including a (slightly delayed!) response to Ed in San Jose about my recent Tesla trade and what was going through my mind during that position. If you're curious about alternative markets and evolving financial structures, this episode is a must-listen. Listen now: 👉 What Are Predictive Markets?

    At What Point Should Someone Admit Trading Isn't for Them? - 02/10/26

    This is one of the hardest—and most important—questions a trader can ask. In today's episode, we tackle a viewer's candid question about struggling with trading and whether there comes a point where you should keep pushing forward… or step away. Is trading really for everyone? Are losses a rite of passage—or a signal you're forcing the wrong path? I'll share my unfiltered thoughts and real experiences, talk about the difference between temporary struggle and structural mismatch, and explain how to evaluate yourself honestly—without ego, guilt, or desperation driving the decision. We'll also zoom out and look at the current broad market action, because context matters. Some environments punish even good traders, and knowing that difference can change everything. This episode isn't about quitting. It's about choosing the right way to win. Listen now: 👉 At What Point Should Someone Admit Trading Isn't for Them?
