Summary
Phil addresses recent market volatility (30 weeks from March 15 banking issues) and pushes back against media negativity. He lists strong economic data: US GDP grew 4.9%, EPS hitting all-time highs, bank profits up globally, Germany/Japan labor shortages, aviation orders booming. He presents a US yield curve chart (2yr/10yr from 1970s) showing inversions before prior mid-cycle and cycle-end events. He predicts the yield curve inversion will reverse and stocks will march upward. He warns the 2026 turn will be initially managed as a “soft landing” narrative, fooling everyone except prepared subscribers.
