Lance Roberts breaks down the bull and bear case in full.

2-26-26 Software Stocks: Steal or Zero?
The Real Investment Show Podcast
Is AI killing software stocks — or creating the buying opportunity of the decade? Lance Roberts & Michael Lebowitz review: Since peaking in September 2025, the software ETF (IGV) has crashed 30% while semiconductors (SMH) surged 30% and broad tech stayed flat. The market is pricing in a "SaaSpocalypse" — the idea that generative AI will make traditional SaaS companies obsolete. But is that narrative right?

2-26-26 Markets Reclaim Key Moving Averages | Before the Bell
The Real Investment Show Podcast
Markets just triggered a momentum BUY SIGNAL — here's what you need to know before the open. On Wednesday, the S&P 500 cleared both the 20-day and 50-day moving averages, reaffirming market stability after days of choppy price action below key technical levels. Sector rotation is driving the move — money is flowing OUT of Energy and Staples and INTO Technology and Growth. But the broader picture still shows a consolidation range with a topping process underway.

2-25-26 100-DMA Support at Risk | Before the Bell
The Real Investment Show Podcast
Markets are carving a rolling top while holding firm support near the 100-DMA. The last week-plus has been choppy, with price repeatedly capped below the 20- and 50-DMAs. Tuesday’s dip to the 100-DMA brought in buyers, pushing the market back toward the 50-DMA, and futures are higher this morning. If the market can close up around 0.25%, it could reclaim near-term resistance and set up a move back toward prior highs. But this remains a fickle, range-bound tape—so keep risk management tight. A clean break below the 100-DMA raises the odds of a quick 3%–5% downside move. Hosted by RIA...

The Real Investment Show Podcast
Most investors don’t realize how quickly a good plan can get derailed by one bad question: “What will your investments return this year?” Lance Roberts and Jonathan Penn break down why asking an advisor for short-term performance predictions is usually the wrong framework—especially when comparisons start with “Can you beat Treasuries this year?” Hosted by RIA Advisors Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO, w Senior Investment Advisor, Jonathan Penn, CFP Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer 0:00 - INTRO 0:50 - E-books & Economic Data 2:53 - Will AI Lead to...

2-24-26 100-DMA Test: 5% Pullback Risk Rising | Before the Bell
The Real Investment Show Podcast
On this day in 1836, the defenders of the Alamo were entering the second day of a siege that would ultimately define Texas history. Surrounded, outnumbered, and under pressure, they faced a critical reality: hold the line—or face the consequences. Markets aren’t all that different right now. After failing at the 20- and 50-day moving averages, the S&P is once again leaning on a key level of support—the 100-day. That’s your line in the sand. Momentum is weakening, internal breadth is deteriorating, and while the surface looks calm, the underlying currents are shifting. The question...

2-23-26 Is China Really Dumping U.S. Treasuries?
The Real Investment Show Podcast
Is China really “dumping” U.S. Treasury bonds—or is that headline missing key context? Lance Roberts examines what Treasury International Capital (TIC) data does (and doesn’t) show, why China’s reported holdings can shift for reasons that have nothing to do with panic selling, and how custody chains and financial centers can complicate the narrative.
