Ideas
US credit is good credit
She disagrees with the Danish pension fund's negative view and thinks the US is a good credit, with solid credit fundamentals, supportive fiscal impulses, Fed easing, and continued disinflation in the first half of 2026.
First half supports US equities
She expects the first half of 2026 to remain supportive for equities because US credit fundamentals are good, the Fed is still on an easing bias, disinflation continues, and recession risk is low; sentiment-driven selloffs should be short-lived.
Gold benefits from uncertainty, diversification
Sovereign investors moving away from US Treasuries are recycling dollars into precious metals, and gold should benefit from the current level of uncertainty; Guggenheim put gold on in 2024 and has increased its holdings.
Keep silver trade on
She says Guggenheim will keep its silver trade on as an alternative precious-metal diversifier and risk mitigation while geopolitical and policy uncertainty remains high.
US 10-year yield may top 5%
He sees potential for the US 10-year Treasury yield to trade above 5% in 2026, driven by the surge in Japanese yields, geopolitical instability, and the difficult-to-digest US fiscal and debt backdrop.
Nasdaq 100 resolves higher on AI
Hyperscaler AI spending remains sustainable relative to free cash flow, the market mood on tech and AI has soured enough that the earnings bar is lower for tech than the rest of the market, and the Nasdaq 100 is likely to stay sideways then resolve higher.
Earnings, stimulus support US equities upside
He expects US equities to keep moving higher because earnings are likely to grow high single digits to low double digits, stimulus is likely ahead of the midterm elections, and the economy is stronger after Evercore raised its GDP forecast; near-term geopolitical selloffs should not break the uptrend.
Bank M&A supports regional banks, PNC
The Trump administration's lighter regulatory stance is speeding bank M&A, and the highly fragmented US banking industry needs economies of scale, so consolidation should continue; better-value banks like PNC could see more activity.
US equities resilient on earnings growth
She thinks US equities should remain resilient because earnings and economic growth are strong, and robust stock returns can coexist with higher bond yields as in the 1990s; geopolitical headlines are mostly noise.
High-quality tech bought on volatility
During periods of political and volatility-driven selloffs she bought high-quality tech names at attractive prices—Palantir at 88, Nvidia at 108, and Tesla at 240—and expects them to keep doing well even with higher rates because of strong balance sheets.

Netflix long-term fundamentals remain strong
The all-cash Warner Bros. offer gives more certainty and should speed the shareholder vote, and despite regulatory and integration risk, Netflix's long-term fundamentals are strong; Warner would add engagement and pricing power, though near-term she favors a wait-and-watch stance.

Paramount Skydance risks outweigh deal benefits
Even if Paramount Skydance wins Warner Bros. Discovery it would become more relevant, but the company faces high leverage near seven times, integration and management challenges, and a relatively new management and guidance setup, so the competitive threat is not insurmountable.
Google full-stack AI advantage
He argues Google and DeepMind are the only organization with the full AI stack—TPU hardware, research lab, and AI-native products from Search to Chrome—and with the Gemini series Google should do very well with substantial headroom remaining.
Robotics breakthrough is developing theme
He sees a developing breakthrough in physical intelligence and robotics, with foundation models like Gemini showing the path, though algorithms and hardware such as robot hands still need work and useful robots may take 18 months to two years; Google announced a collaboration with Boston Dynamics and Hyundai.
