"If oil stays high, inflationary effects will persist."
"SpaceX could be a multi-trillion dollar company."
"Stay long-term, avoid short-term trading pitfalls."

The market continues its bull run as corporate profits seemingly can’t find the brakes. Typically, good news and a perception of less risk mean yields and rates should fall. But in 2026 – first, bad news drove up rates (inflation) and now, good news (increasing corporate growth velocity) is driving rates up. AI continues to disrupt – though, it’s disrupting unevenly. Also, a SpaceX IPO seems to be on the horizon and may come up quickly.

Tune in to listen to Joey and Adam unpack the details and what these notes mean for investors.
