Stock Talk

Higher interest rates can push down the prices of investments you already own. They can also change the income available from newly purchased bonds and other interest bearing investments. So what does that mean for your retirement plan?

In this episode of Stock Talk, Chris Perras explains how higher rates may affect bonds, stock valuations, real estate, annuities, and retirement income planning. He also looks at a key question for retirees: if stocks decline while you’re taking withdrawals, how might your cash and short term bond holdings affect the decisions you face?

Chris covers three questions to discuss when reviewing a retirement plan:

• Has the income available from bonds and cash changed your investment tradeoffs?
• Does your current stock and bond allocation still fit your goals and risk tolerance?
• How would your withdrawal plan work during a substantial stock market decline?

The AI boom keeps getting compared to the dot-com bubble. But what if the comparison is right—and the timing is wrong?

A Bespoke Investment Group chart compares the Nasdaq after the launch of Netscape in 1994 with the Nasdaq after the launch of ChatGPT in 2022. At a comparable point in the two cycles, today lines up closer to September 1998 than the March 2000 dot-com peak.

That doesn’t mean history will repeat. Historical comparisons aren’t forecasts.

But it raises an important question: What evidence would tell us this AI cycle is nearing the end—and what evidence would suggest it may still be developing?

In this episode of Stock Talk, we examine four major pieces of the argument:

The historical Netscape-versus-ChatGPT market comparison, the spread of AI adoption and productivity, corporate earnings momentum, and today’s valuation and interest-rate risks.

We also look at the massive increase in data-center construction, the difference between FOMO and what Ed Yardeni calls “Fabulous Earnings Momentum,” and evidence that market leadership has broadened beyond the Magnificent Seven.

The goal isn’t to predict where stocks go next.

It’s to ask a better question about where we may be in this technology and market cycle—and what evidence investors should watch from here.

What if artificial intelligence changes the world—but some of today’s leading AI stocks still turn out to be the wrong investments at the wrong prices?

In this episode of Stock Talk, Chris Perras looks back at the Dotcom era to explore an important distinction for investors: a technology can transform the economy without every stock connected to that technology delivering great investment returns.

The Internet didn’t fail after the Dotcom crash. It went on to reshape commerce, communication, advertising and entertainment. But many technology investors still suffered enormous losses as valuations changed, interest rates rose and market leadership shifted.

Could something similar happen during the AI boom?

Rather than trying to predict an AI crash, Chris focuses on three signals that may help investors recognize whether market leadership is beginning to change:

• STOCKS — Is technology continuing to dominate, or is leadership spreading into financials, industrials, energy, materials and international markets?

• INTEREST RATES — What are the Federal Reserve, the 2-Year Treasury and the 10-Year Treasury telling us about the cost of money?

• THE U.S. DOLLAR — Is the dollar strengthening and tightening global financial conditions, or weakening as commodities and international markets gain strength?

Chris also explores a fascinating possibility: the massive infrastructure required to build artificial intelligence may eventually benefit businesses far outside traditional technology.

AI data centers require electricity, copper, steel, cooling systems, transformers, natural gas, nuclear power, grid equipment and other physical infrastructure.

Could the AI boom itself help create the next generation of market leaders?

History doesn’t tell us exactly what happens next. But it can help investors recognize the conditions that have accompanied major changes in market leadership before.

The important question may not be whether AI succeeds.

It may be whether today’s investors are paying the right price for that future.

If changing interest rates, inflation, market leadership or a different investment cycle has you wondering how your retirement plan could be affected, contact Oak Harvest Financial Group to schedule a conversation about your financial plan.

12:58 Three Signals Investors Should Watch Now

Artificial intelligence may be the biggest technology story in the market — but the next major investment opportunity connected to AI may not be another AI stock.

 

As companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Meta spend hundreds of billions of dollars building AI infrastructure and data centers, they're also creating enormous demand for something much more physical: electricity, copper, steel, transformers, natural gas, uranium, electrical equipment and the infrastructure needed to connect it all.

 

So what happens if the AI boom eventually creates a materials boom?

 

In this episode of Stock Talk, we look back at what happened after technology stopped dominating the market around the dot-com era and examine whether investors could be seeing the early stages of another major shift in market leadership.

 

After the Nasdaq peaked in 2000, some of the strongest investments of the following years weren't technology companies. Copper, gold, mining companies, materials and commodity-producing countries experienced enormous gains as China's rapid industrialization created a massive new source of global demand.

 

Today's situation is different — but there may be an important similarity.

 

AI data centers require enormous amounts of electricity. That means additional power generation, transmission lines, transformers, copper, steel and other physical infrastructure.

 

According to the International Energy Agency, global data-center electricity consumption was approximately 415 terawatt-hours in 2024 and could reach roughly 945 terawatt-hours by 2030 under its Base Case.

In this video, we explore:

• Why market leadership changed dramatically after the dot-com boom
• What created the commodity supercycle of the 2000s
• Why copper prices rose dramatically during that period
• How AI data centers are changing global electricity demand
• Why copper, power infrastructure, uranium, natural gas and electrical equipment could become increasingly important
• Why materials have historically underperformed the broader market for years
• What the XLB Materials ETF may be telling investors
• How limited mining investment could affect future commodity supply
• Why AI could eventually become as much an infrastructure story as a technology story
• What investors should watch for if market leadership begins to change

The important takeaway isn't that technology stocks have to collapse or that commodities are guaranteed to enter another supercycle.

 

It's that market leadership changes.

 

The companies and sectors that dominated one investment cycle don't necessarily dominate the next.

And if artificial intelligence continues growing, the next major investment story may not simply be the companies building AI.

 

It may be the companies supplying the materials, electricity and infrastructure required to build the AI economy.

The S&P 500 has climbed sharply since the market lows of April 2025—but something unusual has happened at the same time: interest rates have also moved higher.

So why haven't higher rates stopped the stock market?

In this episode of Stock Talk, we break down the tug-of-war between corporate earnings and interest rates and explain why earnings growth has been powerful enough, so far, to overcome the pressure of higher Treasury yields.

We also look at what could happen next.

Using S&P 500 earnings estimates and different P/E assumptions, we'll walk through several illustrative scenarios for 2027—including what could potentially support an S&P 500 around 8,500, what could bring it closer to 7,200, and how a combination of falling earnings estimates and higher interest rates could create a much more difficult 6,500 scenario.

In this video you'll learn:

✔ Why stocks and interest rates have both been rising

✔ Why earnings have been such an important driver of the market

✔ How higher Treasury yields can pressure stock valuations

✔ Why the S&P 500 can rise even while its P/E ratio falls

✔ How earnings and P/E multiples work together to determine market valuations

✔ What could support an S&P 500 around 8,500

✔ What could push valuations toward 7,200 or lower

✔ The two numbers investors should be watching through 2026 and into 2027

The key isn't trying to predict exactly where the market will go.

It's understanding what's driving it.

Is the AI boom beginning to rhyme with the late 1990s? Strong earnings, record market highs, massive semiconductor investment, and an unusual shift in global currency conditions are creating a market setup investors should be watching closely.

In this video, we examine the growing comparison between today’s AI-driven market and the final stages of the dot-com boom.

The comparison became even more interesting after the United States and Japan stepped in to support the Japanese yen—an unusual development that raises an important question: could changing global financial conditions provide another source of liquidity at the same time earnings and AI investment remain strong?

That doesn’t mean 2026 has to repeat 1999.

Today’s largest AI companies are generating substantial revenue, profits, margins, and cash flow. But history shows that strong businesses, strong earnings, improving liquidity, and increasing investor enthusiasm can sometimes combine to produce powerful—and increasingly speculative—late-cycle markets.

In this video, we break down:

✔ Why the 1999 dot-com comparison is becoming more interesting

✔ What strong corporate earnings are telling us about the market

✔ Why semiconductor earnings remain critical to the AI investment cycle

✔ How massive AI infrastructure spending could affect future returns

✔ Why the U.S.-Japan yen intervention matters

✔ What happened during the Y2K liquidity window in 1999

✔ How interest rates and inflation expectations affect stock valuations

✔ Why liquidity could become an important market driver

✔ Four indicators investors should be watching from here

✔ What this environment could mean for retirees and people approaching retirement

The goal isn’t to predict exactly what the market will do next.

Instead, we believe investors should focus on the forces underneath the market: earnings, interest rates, AI investment, liquidity, and the dollar—and make investment decisions within the context of their own financial plan, income needs, time horizon, and ability to tolerate risk.

#StockMarket #ArtificialIntelligence #RetirementPlanning

An investor can be completely right about the future—and still lose money in the present.

That happened during the dot-com boom. The internet really did change the world, but concentrated portfolios, extreme valuations, leverage, and tighter financial conditions still caused enormous investment losses.

Now, a similar lesson is emerging from the AI investment cycle.

In this video, we compare the dot-com bubble of 1998–2000 with today’s massive AI infrastructure buildout. We examine how a highly successful AI-focused investment strategy reportedly suffered a severe short-term decline, despite being built around a technology trend that may continue growing for years.

You’ll learn:

• How a smart investment idea can become a crowded and leveraged trade

• Why being right about a technology doesn’t guarantee investment success

• How leverage can force investors to sell at the worst possible moment

• Why the AI data-center and semiconductor buildout resembles the internet infrastructure boom

• How interest rates, inflation, energy prices, and tighter liquidity can affect growth investments

• Why retirees face greater consequences from concentration and major portfolio declines

• Four warning signs investors may want to monitor during the AI investment cycle

AI may change the world just as the internet did. But great technology doesn’t cancel the basic rules of investing.

Price still matters. Cash flow still matters. Debt still matters. Diversification still matters. And the amount of time you have to recover still matters.

If you’re retired or approaching retirement, your financial plan shouldn’t depend on one company, one technology, or one market trend working perfectly.

Inflation, interest rates, and energy prices may look like three separate financial risks—but they are deeply connected.

 

In this episode, Chris Perras of Oak Harvest Financial Group explains how rising energy costs can contribute to inflation, how inflation influences Federal Reserve policy, and how higher interest rates can affect stocks, bonds, cash, and the long-term purchasing power of retirees.

 

For retirees and those approaching retirement, the biggest danger may not be short-term market volatility. It may be the gradual loss of purchasing power as groceries, prescriptions, insurance premiums, utilities, transportation, and other living expenses continue to rise.

 

Chris also explains:

✔ Why inflation is often called the silent wealth killer

✔ How higher interest rates can help savers but pressure bond prices and stock valuations

✔ Why energy costs affect far more than gasoline prices

✔ How oil, inflation, and interest rates create a financial chain reaction

✔ Why predicting every Federal Reserve decision is not a retirement strategy

✔ How diversification, liquidity, discipline, and quality investments can help build a more resilient retirement portfolio

✔ Why retirement planning should focus on meeting your needs before chasing your greed

You cannot control inflation, interest rates, or oil prices—but you can control how your retirement portfolio is positioned and how you respond to changing conditions.

What if one of the greatest companies ever built turns out to be a disappointing investment? In this video, I explain why this isn’t really a story about SpaceX—it’s a story about investor expectations, IPO hype, and the price you pay for even the most extraordinary businesses. Drawing on more than 35 years of investment experience, I compare today’s excitement around SpaceX to past market favorites like Amazon, Tesla, and the dot-com era, and show why great companies don't always make great stocks. If you're considering investing in high-profile IPOs or simply want to become a more disciplined long-term investor, this is a lesson you won't want to miss.

Why are so many Wall Street firms raising their S&P 500 targets, yet the market isn't surging higher? In this week's Stock Talk, I break down the two forces that are keeping the S&P 500 from making a much bigger move despite outstanding corporate earnings. We'll look at why accelerating earnings alone aren't enough when AI-driven capital spending is pressuring free cash flow, and how higher Treasury yields are limiting valuation expansion even as profits grow. I'll explain the relationship between earnings, interest rates, price-to-earnings multiples, and free cash flow in simple terms so you can better understand what is really driving today's market—and what could unlock the next sustained rally toward 8,000 and beyond. If you're an investor trying to make sense of today's headlines without getting caught up in the noise, this episode will help you focus on the market fundamentals that matter most.
