The Worry List Is Long and Stocks Keep Going Up
Long rates hit their highest level since 2007, the national debt topped $40 trillion, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced he's doubling long-dated bond buybacks. Karl breaks down what that move actually is (hint: it isn't QE), why it looks a lot like 2011's Operation Twist, and why the 10-year is higher now than before the announcement. Plus: gold's rebound, Bitcoin's big week, and why earnings growth is the one thing holding this market up. He closes with a reminder that risk management still matters, even when it feels unnecessary.
