Can risk assets achieve escape velocity without QE?

This podcast explores the macro outlook and portfolio strategy underpinning the view that risk assets can gain momentum without quantitative easing. Topics include the anticipated retest of stock market lows amid a growth slowdown, the KISS Portfolio Construction Process (favoring stocks, gold, and Bitcoin over bonds), and detailed quantitative signals ranging from short‑term Ethereum overbought conditions to a longer‑term inflation and deflation regime. The discussion also covers risks such as policy sequencing errors and geopolitical stresses, along with opportunities like liquidity hedging and crypto’s potential upside, and concludes with guidance on rebalancing allocations in alignment with evolving market signals.
