2026-02-25
A 12% yield is not a gift — it’s a warning sign.
This is the classic mistake of chasing yield. If something pays dramatically more than the risk-free rate (the U.S. Treasury), it’s compensating you for meaningful uncertainty: credit risk, default risk, currency volatility, and geopolitical instability.

2-19-26 Defensive Stocks At 1999-Level Valuations?
2026-02-19
In this short video, Lance Roberts and Michael Lebowitz discuss $WMT and that it is trading at valuations not seen since 1999.
Staples are no longer “cheap defensive value.”
They have become expensive.
Walmart is trading at roughly 48x forward earnings—valuation levels typically associated with high-growth tech companies expanding 20%+ annually. Yet, its growth rate is closer to 4–5%.
