The Real Investment Show Podcast
Markets opened weakly on Tuesday but finished in the green as Buy-the-Dip traders stepped back in.

Consumer Staples are beginning to recover as investors rotate toward defensive names. Lance Roberts explains how sector rotation is shaping...

11-6-25 Nvidia's Money Loop: Smart Move or Red Flag?
The Real Investment Show Podcast
Nvidia just took a $1 billion stake in Nokia—and Nokia plans to spend that money buying Nvidia’s own AI chips. It’s not the first time. Nvidia’s done similar deals with OpenAI, CoreWeave, and xAI, fueling record demand for its GPUs. But is this smart strategy—or circular financing? Some call it vendor financing, others say it’s round-tripping—a tactic that helped inflate the dot-com bubble two decades ago. Lance Roberts & Michael Lebowitz unpack how the AI industry may be funding itself, why that’s raising eyebrows, and what investors should watch for as the hype...

11-5-25 Earnings Beat, Stocks Drop | Before the Bell
The Real Investment Show Podcast
Markets rallied ahead of strong earnings from Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft, but even solid results didn’t lift prices. It’s a familiar “buy the rumor, sell the news” setup—Palantir and Meta both slipped from record highs. Despite the noise, this pullback is only to the 20-DMA, which remains in a bullish trend. The 50-DMA continues to act as strong support. After new highs, a short-term pause is normal—but if it stings, your portfolio may be carrying too much risk. Stay tuned for daily pre-market updates and insights from The Real Investment Show. Hosted by RIA Chief...

info_outlineMarkets hit new all-time highs Monday, closing up roughly 40 basis points, and futures point higher again this morning. But beneath the surface, extreme deviations above the 200-day moving average are forming—a setup that rarely lasts.
In this short video, Lance Roberts explains why markets stretched this far above long-term averages eventually correct, how those drawdowns affect investors both financially and psychologically, and why low-quality, no-income stocks are suddenly leading the rally.
📈 A closer look at the 3-year chart of the S&P 500 shows how far we’ve drifted from the mean—and why investors should be cautious when “no one can lose.”
