The Real Story with Michelle Makori
‘Generational Bear Market’ Ahead: Investors Have Forgotten What a Real Crash Feels Like | Ted Oakley
Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, interviews Ted Oakley, Founder and Managing Partner of Oxbow Advisors, an Austin-based investment advisory firm managing approximately $3.2 billion in client assets. Oakley says the stock market has entered the “euphoria stage” and warns that today’s extreme valuations could ultimately lead to a generational bear market, potentially driving equities 35% to 45% lower. He explains why the AI and data-center boom may be repeating patterns from the dot-com era, which sectors appear most vulnerable, and why his firm is reducing exposure to major technology companies, including Microsoft. The conversation also examines America’s roughly $40 trillion debt burden, the possibility of stealth inflation and Oakley’s expectation that the U.S. could face eight to ten years of stagflation. He explains why investors may need greater exposure to hard assets, including gold, energy, critical minerals, uranium and real estate, to preserve purchasing power through the next economic cycle.
