One big surprise coming out of last week’s unusual press conference by Fed Chairman Jay Powell was his decision to remain on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) as a Governor after Kevin Warsh takes over this month.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon famously spooked credit markets last October when he warned of “cockroaches” lurking in the shadowy world of private lending.

(ARES) here, says Adam Johnson, editor of Bullseye Brief.
AI datacenter growth relies on speed. Fiber optics solve legacy latency issues. This benefits a select group of optical suppliers. One of the top photonics stocks to trade in 2026 is Corning Inc. (GLW), advises Lucas Downey, co-founder of MoneyFlows.

Record productivity gains from senior employees & AI, booming energy exports, and consumer spending is anticipated to boost GDP to a 5% annual pace in the second quarter.  As the Fed continues to cut key interest rates and the housing market improves, 6% annual GDP is even possible by the third quarter.

In the presentation, Larry will discuss the charts in detail and go into his stock selection and risk management process.

Where are the best opportunities? What are the greatest risks? Our portfolio performance in 2025 was outstanding. Our silver stock pick (First Magestic Silver) more than tripled, performing far better than its more popular cousin, gold. Peru more than doubled and was a better play than just betting on copper (+32%). Clean energy was one of the top performers as well, with 60% gains compared to Nvidia’s 40%.

With oil and defense stocks and the S&P 500 at all-time highs, should you buy, hold, or sell? Will the safe havens continue to dominate returns? Are there any risks with Peru and copper? With Tesla, Microsoft, and Palantir down -21-31%, has the tide shifted toward value and away from growth?

Let’s dive into the data to design a blueprint that increases the performance and the protection of our portfolio.

The S&P 500 recorded a “three-peat” in 2025, or three successive years of double-digit gains. What is the likelihood of scoring a “four peat?” Even though CFRA thinks the bull will remain intact by year-end, it projects increased volatility along with a lower-than-average full-year percentage increase. Why so cautious? Still-high valuations, an elevated Buffett Indicator, a softening jobs market, late-cycle and defensive sector leadership, combined with mid-term elections that typically present formidable headwinds. Offsetting tailwinds include the fourth year of this bull market and double-digit earnings growth expectations, not only for 2026 but also for 2027. Sam Stovall, CFRA’s Chief Investment Strategist, will discuss what the market’s recent rotation implies for investor returns in the year ahead.
