A Perfect Storm Of Troubles Is Brewing | Cem Karsan May 24, 2026

Show notes

Today's guest sees the U.S. financial markets entering the final stage of a multi-decade topping process and the early innings of a 15–20-year regime shift driven by demographics, populism, deglobalization, and rising structural inflation.He believes we are on the cusp of a “lost decade-plus” in nominal equity returns and meaningful real losses if investors keep using the old 40-year “buy-the-dip, stay long growth” playbook.How can we position ourselves to sidestep the worst of that, and perhaps even prosper in the years ahead?Well, let's ask the man himself.We're very fortunate to welcome back to the program Cem Karsan, Founder, CIO, and Managing Principal of Kai Volatility Advisors & Kai Wealth. He's widely known as @jam_croissant on X/Twitter.Cem thinks a perfect storm of troubles is brewing as the national pendulum swings away from supply-side economics and into populism.Follow Cem at https://www.kaivolatility.com/ or at https://kaiwealth.com/Or on X at @jam_croissant

It Won't Take Much To Tip This Market Over | Lance Roberts May 23, 2026

Show notes

Well, the stock market rally continues, with short-term technicals remaining in highly overbought territory.

Portfolio manager Lance Roberts still thinks the near-term risks to the downside far outweigh the upside potential at this point -- warning it may not take much to trigger a sizable pullback at this point.

We discuss the odds of that, as well as the headline concerns about falling global oil inventories and rising bond yields.

How worried should investors be about those?

Watch this week's Market Recap to find out.
