Blind Investing Is Over: The Portfolio Shift to Make Before the Next Crisis

The old “buy the S&P 500 and forget it” playbook may be getting riskier. Wealthion CEO Steven Feldman joins Maggie Lake to explain why rising deficits, persistent inflation, a weakening dollar, elevated stock valuations, and massive AI concentration are changing the investing landscape. Feldman lays out how investors should think about diversification in this new regime — including the role of gold, cash, real assets, energy, infrastructure, agriculture, and other scarce assets — and why protecting what you’ve already built may matter more than chasing the next huge return. 💡 From rising deficits and persistent inflation to AI concentration, elevated stock valuations, and the risks of blind indexing, Steven Feldman explains why investors may need to rethink diversification for the market regime ahead.
