Mark Skousen argues the US is in a permanent inflation era but is still bullish on the technology-led roaring 20s bull market, believing tech is only halfway and could run toward 2029-2030 before an eventual 70% Nasdaq-style crash. He recommends XLK, Main Street Capital, energy income stocks EPD and WMB, and small-cap defense/tech supply-chain companies. He also sees gold as the preferred hedge against inflation and a possible Treasury/debt crisis, while warning that Treasuries could face a rate shock if buyers disappear. David Lin adds his view that the S&P 500 is unlikely to correct more than 20% absent a major external crisis.

Идеи
Tech bull only halfway, buy XLK.
Mark Skousen says the 2020s are a replay of the roaring 1920s and the technology bull market is only halfway; AI, space technology, drones and defense spending are booming, and he recommends XLK, the technology ETF, expecting the sector to take off again after floundering.
Expect eventual 70% Nasdaq crash.
He warns that this golden era of technology will likely end in a big bubble and could produce a Nasdaq-style 70% collapse like 2000-2003 once the boom reaches a plateau, though he does not think the market is there yet.
Gold as inflation and crisis hedge.
He views gold as the critical long-term inflation signal and a refuge for a Treasury/debt crisis; it is near its 200-day moving average and would likely keep rising if it breaks higher, central banks are buying gold aggressively, and he previously predicted $5,000 gold.
MAIN favored unique monthly dividend.
He recommends Main Street Capital (MAIN) as one of his favorite income stocks because it is the only stock in the entire universe that pays both a monthly and a quarterly dividend, and it fits his diversified portfolio for staying ahead of inflation.
Likes energy stocks EPD and WMB.
He says he likes energy stocks such as Enterprise Products and Williams Companies as good holdings for his diversified portfolio to stay ahead of the market in a persistent inflation environment.
S&P won't crash without crisis.
David Lin argues that the S&P 500 only corrects 40-50% during crises or external shocks, and that the market will not self-correct more than 20% just because investors think it is overvalued; therefore a major correction beyond 20% is unlikely absent a financial crisis or global shutdown.
US Treasuries vulnerable to rate shock.
He warns the US is headed for a crisis because Treasury must refinance about $7 trillion annually and interest on the debt now exceeds defense spending; if buyers shun Treasuries, the Treasury may have to raise rates dramatically, with the 30-year bond already above 5% signaling rate pressure.
