Small-Cap Rotations, Structural Inflation, and the SpaceX Frontier – 06/13/2026
Follow Us on Your Favorite Streaming Platforms
John Berkley and his investment committee analyze a significant market rotation as small-cap stocks outperform mega-cap growth. They explore the theory of “structural inflation,” suggesting permanent inflation acts as an invisible tax to fund government deficits. The team discusses how AI-driven productivity could reshape the labor market, potentially favoring skilled trades like plumbing over high-level coding.
A central theme is the historic SpaceX IPO, which the committee views as a landmark for free enterprise following fifty years of space exploration stagnation. While debating the company’s massive valuation, they contrast its growth potential with traditional value investing. Additionally, they examine cooling real estate trends in Florida and Texas versus the stability of the Midwest. Throughout the show, Berkley emphasizes a disciplined, value-oriented approach, advising listeners to avoid chasing overpriced stocks and focus on long-term fundamentals during these rapidly changing times.
