Raising Cash Amid Choppy Markets

As geopolitical tensions in the Middle East muddy the economic waters, market veterans Rick Bensignor and Dana Lyons dive deep into the technical "cracks" forming beneath the surface of the major indices. This week’s discussion centers on a critical transition: moving away from overextended growth and the "Magnificent 7" toward defensive positioning, tactical cash reserves, and the long-term structural bull case for energy and select mining stocks.

• Segment 1 & 2 - In this podcast segment, Rick Bensignor, President of Bensignor Investment Strategies, discusses his tactical approach to the current "choppy" markets and why he has been raising cash in anticipation of a potential correction. He analyzes technical signals for the S&P 500, the implications of rising 10-year Treasury yields, and provides his outlook on the energy, precious metals, and cryptocurrency sectors.
