ADVICE

  • Wait for confirmation before aggressively buying risk assets; watch the S&P settle above 7,030 then build on that strength.
  • Jim recommends staying cautious in H1 2026 and only increase exposure after clear technical follow-through.

  • Jim notes regulatory easing alone won't prompt new wells; higher sustained prices and 18+ month lead times are required.

  • He expects the Fed's longer-run comfort around ~2.6–2.7% inflation and thinks transient oil moves must persist to change policy.
