The Bull Market Turns Four

The last real bear market – excluding the Liberation Day selloff earlier this year – ended in mid-October 2022.

The stock market is now completing the third year of a bull market run, and going into a fourth year.

Here’s how the current rally stacks up with the first three years of historic bull markets:

Our current bull market is stronger than average, coinciding with the retail rollout of ChatGPT.

In year four, we could expect smooth sailing – except this year we’re in the early stages of a terrifying bull market, driven by investors getting out of a weak dollar, not anything fundamentally sound in stocks.

For now, the bulls are clearly in control. And, as we saw yesterday, investors are likely to lap up stocks and other risk-on assets on every dip.

P.S. Our latest research with Ian King regarding Dollar 2.0, which we filmed last Tuesday, will be released on October 16 in a special edition of Grey Swan Live!

The next regulatory environment for stablecoins favors three companies. We expect they will dominate the new monetary system as Trump guides digital assets into the mainstream.Our estimate? $20 trillion dollars will migrate to these platforms. That’s a Grey Swan event, if there ever was one.

Keep your eyes peeled this Thursday.

Copper’s Clear Signal

August 17, 2026 • Addison Wiggin

Copper and resources are sending us a cleaner market signal than AI stocks.

Channeling Ludwig von Mises, we observe this morning that price is not just a number; it’s information. Price reflects what buyers and sellers collectively believe: demand, scarcity, fear, speculation, disappointment, future expectations and available supply.

When prices rise, and inventories fall at the same time, the message is usually straightforward: buyers need the stuff, and there is not enough of it.

Market Crash Insurance Is Cheap

A low VIX does not predict disaster. It measures complacency. A serial skeptic will read it as the calm before a storm. We shook off that feeling this morning and opted to pursue an opportunity instead.

Here goes:

A VIX reading below 15 means the market is not pricing in much near-term trouble, even though there are obvious risks still sitting in the room: Iran, oil prices, memory chip speculation, circular financing, high valuations, epic high concentrations, spiking long-term interest rates, a regime change at the Fed, a meltdown in Japan and a historic deficit and rising national debt.

Beware: Financial Innovation In AI

Money is not flowing in a clean, straight line from outside investors to productive businesses. The firms at the top are investing in and buying from each other.

Microsoft and OpenAI are the easiest examples to follow.

Microsoft says OpenAI has contracted to purchase an additional $250 billion in Azure services, while Microsoft continues to account for $13 billion in funding commitments to OpenAI as an investment.

Signs of a Late-Stage Bull Market

August 12, 2026 • Addison Wiggin

At this stage, it’s a stock picker’s market.

We expect space, robotics and some more visible tech startups to remain sources of speculation. After weakness in the first half of 2026, we’re also due for a strong rotation of capital into natural resources, precious metals, critical minerals and energy.
