ITPM Podcast
Markets are at all-time highs, but beneath the surface, something important is changing.

They also discuss the collapse in crypto momentum, the Federal Reserve’s changing stance on inflation and interest rates, falling oil prices, and what the latest manufacturing and services data tells us about the...

But beneath the surface, credit markets remain calm, Treasury yields are easing, and the broader market may be setting up for a rotation rather than a correction. In...

ITPM Flash provides insight into what professional traders are thinking about in the markets RIGHT NOW! Software stocks are getting destroyed. AI infrastructure stocks are exploding. And sitting right in the middle of that dislocation is Synopsys ($SNPS). While names like Salesforce, Adobe, and ServiceNow have been crushed by fears that AI agents will destroy traditional SaaS models, the companies powering the AI infrastructure buildout have gone vertical. But what if the market is completely mispricing Synopsys? In this video, Raj Malhotra...

ITPM Flash provides insight into what professional traders are thinking about in the markets RIGHT NOW! Consumer sentiment is collapsing… yet one sector may be perfectly positioned to benefit.

ITPM Flash provides insight into what professional traders are thinking about in the markets RIGHT NOW! Markets may be underestimating a growing structural shift — and one high-profile stock could be caught in the middle. In this week’s ITPM Flash, Ben Berggreen breaks down the fundamental setup behind Airbnb (ABNB) and why the current macro environment could trigger a significant re-rating.

ITPM Flash provides insight into what professional traders are thinking about in the markets RIGHT NOW!

In this week’s ITPM Flash, Jason McDonald examines the muted reaction in equities following the Iran conflict, with the S&P 500 only modestly off its highs.

ITPM Flash provides insight into what professional traders are thinking about in the markets RIGHT NOW! The next phase of the AI boom may not happen on Earth. In this week’s ITPM Flash, Alessandro Ameli explores a major shift in AI infrastructure — as data centres begin to reach physical limits in power, water usage, and grid capacity. With projections suggesting AI could consume up to 50% of U.S. electricity demand by 2030, traditional data centre expansion is facing increasing constraints. This is driving the emergence of a new concept: space-based...

In this episode of ITPM Flash, Dieter breaks down how the AI revolution has already created waves in data centers, energy, CPUs and memory — and why cybersecurity may be the next area to attract serious investor attention.
With advanced AI models exposing software vulnerabilities and major institutions racing to strengthen their systems, the setup for cybersecurity stocks could become increasingly relevant. Dieter explains why he prefers ETF exposure through the First Trust Nasdaq Cybersecurity ETF, ticker CIBR, rather than trying to pick individual cybersecurity winners. He also walks through a long call trade structure using November and August options, explaining the setup, the credit received, the risk/reward, and why a longer time horizon may make sense for this particular theme.
Listen now to see why AI-fuelled cyber risk could become one of the next big trades in the market.
