Old Market Playbook Is Dead: Massive Rotation into Hard Assets Ahead, Top Picks 2026: Larry McDonald

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, sits down with Larry McDonald, Founder of The Bear Traps Report and New York Times bestselling author, for a deep-dive into the biggest shift in global markets in decades. McDonald says the old disinflationary playbook is dead and a new regime is taking over: structural inflation, financial repression, stealth QE, a weakening dollar, chronic resource shortages, and geopolitical fragmentation. According to McDonald, this is triggering a massive multi-year rotation out of overvalued AI and passive mega-caps into hard assets like gold, copper, energy, aluminum, coal, and natural gas.
