Lobo Tiggre S&P 500 The stock market rally is at risk and cannot sustain itself in the face of higher interest rates
See quote
[16:39] they oughtn't to be worried about gold. They should be looking at equities, risk assets. If the so-called risk-free premium spikes, you know, the the case for buying risk assets really goes away. That's that's the bigger trade here. I mean, I'm I'm not dissing gold, but you know, the gold the entire gold sector is a tiny fraction of tech stocks or or anything else of the overall marketplace. So, uh you know, people if people want to worry about this, I think I really think they should be worrying about the stock market rally and and how long it can go on in the face of higher rates.
