INSIGHT

Oil Is The Current Market's Dominant Driver

  • Market volatility right now is driven primarily by oil-related geopolitical events, not by company fundamentals.
  • Suze Orman and Keith Fitz-Gerald point to Iran actions pushing oil higher, which reverberates across stocks, bonds, gold, and crypto.
ADVICE

Stay Invested Unless You Need The Cash

  • Stay invested if you can and avoid panic selling during short-term volatility.
  • Keith Fitz-Gerald uses the boat analogy: ride out the waves because business fundamentals remain strong for many companies.
ADVICE

Use Dividend Stocks And Treasuries To Balance Risk

  • Rebalance into stable, income-generating securities to reduce portfolio stress.
  • Keith recommends things like Chevron for dividends or S-Gov short-term Treasuries for safety and sleep-at-night yields.
