  • Segment 1 & 2 – Rick Bensignor, President of Bensignor Investment Strategies and publisher of the Tactical Trader Report and Daily Tips Sheet, kicks off the show sharing his outlook on U.S. markets, interest rates, and key commodities. He explains why current equity levels may be a high-risk entry point, discusses sector momentum shifts, global market divergence, and highlights the importance of countertrend signals in gold, bonds, and energy markets.

 

 

  • Segment 4 – Joel Elconin, co-host of the PreMarket Prep Show and founder of the Stock Trader Network, wraps up the show discussing the current “silver lining” market sentiment driven by cooling inflation, resilient earnings, and a risk-on retail trading environment. He also shares insights on institutional moves from recent 13F filings, commodity rotation, and Bitcoin’s technical levels, emphasizing how under-invested fund managers are fueling the rebound across equities and global markets.

    I’ve been bullish on general stock market (TSLA, DAL, COIN, IREN, NVDA, META) since the early April melt down and still think that’s where money is to be made this summer. Big money is quietly been accumulating tech sector and we’re just getting started IMO. On the PM front, I’ve been eying PAAS which I think is going down < $20 and will be a buy then. SAND, EXK, AG, AGI, NEM watching the paint dry.

      Becoming bullish after such large declines makes sense for a trade but I have extreme doubts about the next 5 years being anything like the last 5. The bull market is over which is why the Dow topped versus gold almost 7 years ago and the Nasdaq and S&P topped 3.5 years ago (aided by their “magnificent 7” listings and weightings). Sectors in true bull markets beat gold, not just dollars. This makes perfect sense considering the risks associated with holding stocks compared to those of holding gold.

      In dollars, we are finally navigating the recognition of the bear market and that takes time as few want, or are able, to see it.

    Moody’s downgraded the US credit rating after the market close on Friday. Gold officially becomes a Tier 1 asset July 1st. There isn’t enough gold to satisfy The World’s needs although the mainstream media doesn’t want the public to know this they might panic and start buying more. That means the price must go higher.

    ALL ROADS LEAD TO A HIGHER GOLD PRICE SOONER THAN LATER.
