## Resource

In this early morning Daily Editorial, I am joined by Mike Larson, Editor-in-Chief at MoneyShow, to break down a heavily bifurcated market and locate where the true trading opportunities are hiding. With earnings season delivering strong growth but macroeconomic data remaining highly mixed, Mike shares his boots-on-the-ground perspective from recent investment conferences on where smart money is moving. The discussion covers a broad range of critical macroeconomic and sector-specific themes, including: Global Interest Rate Surges: How the conversation has aggressively shifted from rate cuts to potential rate hikes, and what the multi-decade highs in global bond yields mean for equity markets. The AI Hardware vs. Software Reality: Why current tech valuations might actually be supported by robust earnings, alongside a deep dive into the "SASS-pocalypse" and how software companies are altering pricing models to survive. The Looming IPO Supply Shock: A warning on how massive impending public offerings from giant private firms like SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI could drastically alter equity supply-and-demand dynamics. Precious Metals & Energy Outlook: An analysis of the current "dead money" consolidation phase in gold and silver, juxtaposed against a structurally elevated energy market driven by geopolitical friction. Sectors to Watch in Las Vegas: A preview of the upcoming Money Show Symposium at Caesar's Palace, focusing on the strategic rotations into hard assets, financials, industrials, and materials.
