On Middle East War, Market Volatility & Canada’s Opportunity - An Interview with Ian Lee
The Allan Small Financial Show
What’s really driving market volatility right now? Is it geopolitics, oil prices, or something deeper? In this episode, Allan Small sits down with Ian Lee (Carleton University) to break down the real forces behind today’s economic uncertainty. From the Strait of Hormuz to global energy dependency, this conversation explores why markets are reacting the way they are—and what it means for investors. Ian explains why oil and natural gas still dominate the global economy, why the Middle East conflict matters more than headlines suggest, and how Canada could emerge as a major beneficiary in...
info_outlineIn this week's top 3, Allan breaks down three critical things individual investors need to focus on right now — especially as markets react to big tech earnings, AI headlines, and growing fears of a so-called “tech bubble.”
1️⃣ Big Tech Earnings & Bubble Talk
Earnings season is in full swing, with Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, and AMD reporting results. Despite constant bubble headlines, Allan explains why the price action in big tech doesn’t actually support the idea of a bursting bubble — and why expectations matter more than headlines.
2️⃣ Where Market Gains Are Really Coming From
While the Magnificent Seven once dominated returns, market leadership has shifted. Allan walks through the areas quietly driving gains today, including AI infrastructure stocks like chip equipment makers, storage, and memory — and why investors need to understand this rotation.
3️⃣ The Software Stock Selloff
Software stocks have been hit hard as investors worry about AI replacing traditional business models. Allan explains why much of this selloff may be overdone, why not all software companies are the same, and where selective opportunities may be forming.
This episode is about cutting through noise, avoiding emotional decisions, and staying focused on what actually matters when positioning a portfolio in today’s market.
