22. Nvidia vs Google: Who Will Come Out on Top | Sell in May and Go Away?

Join Jake and Scott Bauer, CEO of Prosper Trading Academy, as they break down the re-escalation in the Iran conflict and why the markets are staying surprisingly resilient. We dive into the massive market cap race between Nvidia and Google, analyze why the defense sector (Lockheed, Boeing, Palantir) is lagging despite geopolitical strife, and debunk the "Sell in May and Go Away" myth. Plus, a look at $5 gas, 4.5% interest rates, and when the "numbness" to inflation might finally break the consumer.  © 2026 Kingsview Wealth Management  Important Disclosures:  Kingsview Wealth Management is an investment adviser registered with the SEC.

21. Powell’s Farewell, Mag Seven Earnings, Micron's Explosive Run, & More

In this episode of Positively Sloped, Jake and Neil tackle a massive market week featuring Jay Powell’s final Fed meeting and the "Mag Seven" earnings blitz. We analyze why Micron (MU) is up 560% and whether its 9x forward PE makes it the ultimate AI sleeper hit compared to Nvidia.  We also pull back the curtain on the OpenAI vs. Anthropic rivalry as "Claude" begins to eat into ChatGPT's market share, and we debate the "Sell in May and Go Away" theory. Is it a legitimate strategy or just "spurious correlation"? Plus, we discuss the potential United-American Airlines merger and why Intel's 130% rebound is more than just a jolt.  © 2026 Kingsview Wealth Management  Important Disclosures:  Kingsview Wealth Management is an investment adviser registered with the SEC.
