Huge news.
President Trump appears to have confirmed our August 11th post regarding potentially imminent capital gains tax cuts.
We may soon see the first major federal capital gains tax cut since 2003, when the top long-term capital gains tax rate was reduced from 20% to 15%.

The growth of AI is being vastly underestimated.
At its core, Nvidia's earnings report confirmed that AI is not just growing. It's accelerating.
The company now sees its next-year sales growth surging to +70%, crushing already high expectations
This implies $673 billion in revenue next year.
Nvidia's growth has market-wide implications, and somehow, it still seems early.

The most interesting part about today's US Treasury intervention is the way it was worded.
"Treasury will provide more information about future buyback sizes on November 4th."
This is just the beginning.
Show more
It's official.
On July 31st, we called for US government intervention as long-term borrowing costs hit 2008 levels.
Today, it happened. The US Treasury is DOUBLING buybacks to $4 billion per operation for "liquidity support."
What comes next? Let us explain.

A historic rotation is underway.
On July 15th, @TKL_Adam joined Fox Business and called for a rotation back into the Magnificent 7 to lead the S&P 500 to 8,000.
The recent market leadership of chip stocks allowed the Magnificent 7 to correct, while still seeing historic earnings growth, without dragging the broader S&P 500 index lower.
This was the largest such divergence between the S&P 500 and the Magnificent 7 since 2022.
Less than 3 weeks since this clip with @TKL_Adam and @cvpayne, the S&P 500 is now above 7,700, Microsoft and Amazon are up +25% in 5 days, and the S&P 500 is worth a record $70 trillion.
Many of these large cap technology names are now trading CHEAPER than the S&P 500 on a Forward P/E basis.
Ironically, many stocks in this market are getting cheaper as they go up.

Inflation has now been above the Fed's 2% target for 64-straight months.
Since March 2021, we have not had a single US CPI inflation print at or below 2.0%.
Fed Chair Warsh pledges to end this seemingly endless wave of inflation.
This goal has been explicit, the market knows this, but how will the Fed achieve this?
The recent surge in yields reflects exactly that, resulting in a paradox that sums it all up:
Uncertainty is at multi-year highs, yet no one wants bonds.

The bond market situation is crazy.

What's happening in South Korea's stock market has truly been one of the most incredible things to witness in decades.
South Korea's KOSPI went from barely being in the top 15 largest stock markets to 6th in a matter of months, worth $5 trillion.
40 days later and nearly half of the country's market cap has been erased with an "emergency meeting" being convened by regulators.
The next few months will be for the history books.
Our outlook is summarized below.

Absolutely incredible.
In an unprecedented move, South Korea's stock market just collapsed -44% in 40 days, erasing -$2 trillion in market cap.
Now, South Korea's finance ministry has announced plans to "stabilize" the market.

It's rare to experience a time like we are experiencing now.
Both risk appetite and uncertainty are arguably at their highest levels in recent history.
These two phenomena rarely exist simultaneously and typically emerge during periods of transformative innovation.
Normally, investors do not seek risk exposure into uncertainty.
But, this time is different. Investors know AI is the "next big thing," but no one knows exactly where it all leads.
The result will be broader swings in the market amid historic innovation.
Capitalize on the volatility.

Just about all key measures of inflation are saying the same thing:
Inflation in the US is at a 3+ year high.

Today, US CPI inflation officially hit its highest level in 3 years, yet the Dow closed green. Why?

Efficient, free markets had a solution to avoid the Spirit Airlines implosion. Instead, the worst possible outcome was catalyzed by government interference, which was intended to correct a “failure” of capitalism but instead replaced it with a historic catastrophe.
Show more
This is truly unfortunate:
In 2022, JetBlue had agreed to merge with Spirit Airlines in a $3.8 billion transaction.
This was intended to end Spirit's imminent bankruptcy and employ the majority of Spirit's 17,000 employees.
One year later, in 2023, the US Department of Justice sued to block the merger, saying it would reduce competition and drive up fares.
Fast forward another 2 years to today, and Spirit has officially gone bankrupt, ceased operations, and 17,000 people are now unemployed.
And, tens of thousands of Spirit passengers are now "stranded."
The worst part?
The "reduced competition" that the DOJ thought they were avoiding by blocking the transaction has only gotten worse.
There quite literally is no competition in the space anymore.
This will go down as one of the biggest transactional failures in US history.

Directly from Step #10# of our "Conflict Playbook:"
"By the time negotiations become credible, investors are typically defensively allocated. Energy exposure is elevated, equity risk has been reduced, and volatility is elevated due to the implicit uncertainty. When uncertainty suddenly collapses, those positions unwind quickly, as seen in April 2025, August 2025, October 2025, and January 2026."
We can now add April 2026 to this list.

When we published our first playbook on January 17th, titled the "Tariff Playbook," it received a widespread positive response and 20+ million views.
But, beyond the playbook's virality, it clearly outlined our methodical approach to navigating financial markets during geopolitical conflicts under President Trump.
Today, our second playbook, the "Conflict Playbook," published on March 3rd, has progressed to Step #9# of 10, tracking just slightly behind our original 4-week timeline.
Over the coming weeks, we expect Step #10# to materialize.
The last 38 days have only reaffirmed our view:

Our models now suggest that US CPI inflation will rise to ~3.7% if current oil prices are sustained for just 7 more weeks, or until the end of May 2026.
The wild card tonight will be if Iran decides to close the Bab al-Mandab Strait in the Red Sea, which accounts for 6-8 million barrels of daily oil supply. Markets are currently not pricing-in a closure, according to our analysis.
The world is now facing its biggest energy crisis in history and further escalation will put the Fed in a "lose-lose" situation, where they must pick between unemployment and inflation.
If Bab al-Mandab is closed, US inflation has a real possibility to exceed 4.0%.
