The Federal Reserve Puts Markets on Notice of Possible Rate Hikes. How to Increase Index (Growth) Annuity Returns 2-3X.

Inflation has increased for the third consecutive month. Historically, inflation happens in waves.    The recent Federal Reserve meeting was the first one with the new Chairman, Kevin Warsh. Following are the highlights:    1. Half of the Fed Governors projected a rate increase in 2026    2. None of the Fed Governors project a rate decrease.    3. The Fed has dropped forward guidance.   The stock market has priced in rate cuts. This could affect valuations negatively.   Less Fed info means more uncertainty.

The SpaceX IPO May be the Largest Insider Sell Event in a Decade

Apple went public in 1980 at 15X revenue.   SpaceX is scheduled to go public on 6.12.26 at 100X revenue. The market cap is estimated to be $1.5 -2.0 trillion valuation. This would be higher than Microsoft. SpaceX would be the third largest company by market cap in the US, behind only Apple and Nvidia.   SpaceX lost over $4 billion in Q1 2026. Total losses since founding have been over $40 billion.   95% of all SpaceX shares are held by insiders.   Typically, insiders are frozen from selling their shares for 180 days after listing to prevent the stock price from getting crushed.   SpaceX insiders will be able to sell 20% of their shares in 60 days. Several more chunks of shares will be unlocked for insiders.   By late November 2026, over 90% of insider shares would be unlocked for potential sale.   The median stock price on most large IPO's, including Facebook, Coinbase, and Uber, have lost over 50% of their stock price after one year. Many were leading companies in their space and "must-own stocks".    There may be a short-term speculative price increase due to the hype and interest around SpaceX. The valuation is extraordinarily expensive. Proceed with extreme caution. See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

The AI Bubble is Showing Serious Signs of Cracking

Stock valuations have almost never been higher. - The Buffet Indicator is at 233, the highest ever recorded. Market cap to GDP has never been higher. - The Schiller Adjusted Price to Earnings ratio is the second highest recorded in 145 years. At current valuations, it would take over 40 years to recover the investment through earnings. - The Bank of America Bull and Bear Indicator is screaming sell again. The past 17 times stocks dropped 2-20% the following 2-3 months. Companies that have scaled AI are experiencing usage costs that exceed the employees they fired. - Microsoft invested $5 billion in Claude AI and recently banned their engineers using it due to exorbitant costs. - Uber blew through their annual AI usage budget by April 2026. Chinese AI has massively dropped AI usage costs. - Chinese AI can process about 80% of American AI functions. - Chinese is up to 95% cheaper than American AI. - This destroys the American AI profit model. Tech stock valuations are priced for perfection. This could be the beginning of the end of the AI bubble. Index (growth) annuities provide: 1.
