| War headlines spark sharp reactions—oil jumps, stocks dip, the dollar firms—but history shows these moves are usually temporary. Markets price uncertainty fast, then refocus on what truly drives long-term returns: earnings, cash flow, and forward guidance. The key question isn’t how dramatic the news sounds. It’s whether it permanently changes corporate profitability. Some sectors may benefit short term, others may sell off, but once fear fades, capital flows back to fundamentals.

Speculative Narrative Unwinds
2026-02-09
For nearly two years, markets were driven by the same speculative narrative that “this time is different.” Bitcoin, precious metals, and AI-linked equities rose not only because of robust fundamentals, but also because investors clung to powerful narratives about inflation, disruption, and monetary collapse.

2-5-26 Truflation vs CPI: What Inflation Is Really Doing Today
2026-02-05
Is inflation actually cooling—or just being measured differently?
Lance Roberts & Michael Lebowitz break down Truflation’s real-time inflation readings (built from millions of point-of-purchase prices across multiple providers) versus the official CPI/PCE framework, which relies far more on surveys and sampling.
We’ll also address the big caveat: neither CPI/PCE nor Truflation perfectly captures what you feel “in the shops,” because inflation varies by geography, income group, and what you actually buy. The aggregate number can hide the lived experience.

12-26-25 Legacy Conversations for the Holidays
2025-12-12
The holidays bring families together—but they also create a rare opportunity to talk about something that truly matters: legacy.
Richard Rosso & Sarah Buenger explore how thoughtful, well-framed conversations about money, wishes, and values can become one of the greatest gifts you give your family. Research shows that nearly 70% of parents have never discussed inheritance with their children, often leaving confusion, conflict, or unresolved questions behind.
Questions lead to stories. Stories lead to understanding. And understanding builds a legacy that lasts beyond the holidays.
