Larry explains why falling rates, aggressive fiscal spending, and the energy demands of the AI boom are setting the stage for a major rotation into hard assets. He also pulls back the curtain on the risks building inside the $1.8 trillion private credit market and how financial repression is steering banks deeper into Treasuries.
It’s fast, punchy, and packed with insight for anyone positioning their portfolio for the year ahead.
