Have markets become disconnected from reality—or are investors correctly pricing in geopolitical shocks, high valuations, and a slow-growth global economy?

In this episode, a veteran investment expert breaks down how today’s markets are being shaped by inflation pressures, geopolitical instability, and long-term structural shifts that many investors may be overlooking.

You’ll learn how these forces interact and why traditional signals may no longer behave the way they used to.

1. How war-driven supply shocks and inflation pressures can reshape global asset pricing
2. Why elevated valuations may signal weaker long-term returns, even if markets keep rising
3. How a “sclerotic” low-growth economy changes the rules for investing, diversification, and risk

If you want to understand what may actually be driving markets beneath the surface—and how to position yourself accordingly—this episode is essential listening.
