Coyote moment: running on optimism while gravity—the reality of stagflation, slowing growth, and political interference—waits below. 🎙️ Episode Summary In this episode of Insight Is Capital, BCA Research’s Chief Global Strategist Peter Berezin offers a sobering yet strategic take on today’s markets.
