70 Years of Market Data Says the Strongest Bullish Signal Since 2025 Just Triggered w/ Milton Berg

New All-Time Highs Everywhere… Is This Bull Run Just Getting Started?

Markets are ripping to fresh all-time highs while headlines keep screaming recession, inflation, war, and general chaos. So what's actually going on? We sat down with macro analyst Caleb Franzen on Milk Road Macro to figure it out. Why are stocks pushing higher despite the world supposedly ending? Why do the S&P 500 and Nasdaq keep flashing bullish momentum? And what are the charts actually telling investors right now? We dig into market breadth, inflation risks, Fed policy, labor market strength, M2 liquidity, and why this bull market might have way more gas in the tank than people think. The headlines say one thing. The charts say another. Someone's lying.

The Old Market Regime Is Dead: Why Portfolios Are Misaligned in 2026 w/ Bob Elliott

The S&P 500 is ripping. Oil is all over the place. Inflation is creeping back in like that roommate who "just needs one more month." But underneath all that? The macro regime is changing. Bob Elliott (CEO & CIO of Unlimited Funds, former Bridgewater guy) laid it out on the show. That cozy environment from the last decade - low inflation, global stability, cheap money - is fading. Fast. The problem: most portfolios are still built for a world that doesn't exist anymore. We get into why this rally might be a head fake, why earnings expectations could be way off, and why nobody's taking rising geopolitical conflict seriously enough. The rules changed. If your strategy didn't change with them... that's a problem.

Oil Prices Are Rising Fast… Is a Global Recession Next? w/ Peter St Onge

In today’s episode, we sit down with economist Peter St Onge to break down what rising oil prices mean for inflation, the labor market, and the broader macro economy. Historically, major recessions have often followed major oil shocks. But today’s global economy is very different from the 1970s. The U.S. is now one of the world’s largest energy producers, global supply chains have evolved, and central banks have powerful tools to manage economic slowdowns. So the real question investors should be asking is this: How high do oil prices actually need to go before they trigger a recession?
