Episode notes

INSIGHT

Bitcoin Isn't A Clean Anti-Fiat Hedge

Bitcoin fails the pure anti-fiat narrative given recent price behaviour versus the dollar and gold.
Bitcoin on corporate treasuries generates no operating income, creating unique balance-sheet risks.

ADVICE

Prioritize Risk-Adjusted, Sustainable Returns

Focus on sufficient, risk-adjusted returns rather than chasing outsized gains that require excessive volatility.
Structure portfolios to survive long-term rather than maximize short-term headline returns.

INSIGHT

Rotation From Value Back Into Growth

The model indicates value is overbought and growth is becoming attractive again after earnings reset.
Expect a rotation back into beaten-up growth names as valuations and earnings expectations realign.
