From rising private-credit risk to the options-trading boom and AI-fueled rallies, this market keeps taking punches…and bouncing back. In this double-length MoneyShow MoneyMasters podcast episode – recorded live at the MoneyShow Orlando – David Keller of Sierra Alpha Research and Steve Sosnick of Interactive Brokers unpack what’s really driving price action now.
They also explore narrowing leadership, breadth, and momentum deterioration, the rotation into defensives, and how retail “buy the dip” behavior shows up in options flows. We then dig into gold’s surge alongside equities, why trend-followers still respect the tape, where AI winners and laggards are diverging, and how to size positions without letting one theme take over your portfolio.
Sosnick then breaks down volatility as a mean-reverting asset, the surge in leveraged ETFs, selling puts versus buying protection, and timeless lessons from 1987…including the RIGHT way to think about the so-called “Fed put.”
