Market at Record Highs: Growth vs. Value, AI Bets, and Rate Cut Risks — Barbara Doran Speaks

Join Todd Schoenberger and Tobin Smith on Buy Hold Sell with special guest Barbara Doran, CEO of BD8 Capital Partners, as they unravel the biggest questions facing markets today: The Fed meeting looms: expect a 25 basis points cut, but everything hinges on Chair Powell’s post-meeting tone and upcoming economic data. (The Conference Board anticipates this cut and more through end-2025, modeling a neutral rate near 3% by early 2026.) AI infrastructure continues to dominate. Oracle just reported a 359% jump in its remaining performance obligations, boosting confidence in its cloud infrastructure business. Gold is roaring back. Deutsche Bank recently raised its 2026 gold forecast to $4,000/oz amid strong central bank demand and potential U.S. dollar weakness. Barbara will also share her insights on how growth vs. value strategies are faring in this environment, which sectors might lead in the months ahead (think AI, fintech, healthcare, stablecoins), and what she’s trimming vs. doubling down on. If you’re trying to navigate rate cuts, inflation risks, or just want to understand where real opportunity lies in high multiples and AI mania — this episode is for you. 📺 Watch and subscribe to CrossCheck Media on YouTube so you don’t miss the insights and surprises. 📢 ⁠⁠Like⁠⁠ 👍 | ⁠⁠Comment⁠⁠ 💬 | ⁠⁠Subscribe⁠⁠ 🔔 for more in-depth market analysis! 🔗 Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://crosscheckmanagement.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📧 Contact on Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📢 Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this episode are those of the guests and hosts and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of CrossCheck Media or Biz Talk Today TV.
