Silver has gone vertical and the worst trading impulse is showing up everywhere: “I missed it, so I have to short it.” In this episode, Matt Caruso and Jason Shapiro break down why fighting parabolic markets can wreck your process, the simple rule that keeps traders out of trouble, and why mean reversion works until it doesn’t.
They also walk through a textbook natural gas reversal and what a proper risk framework looks like when volatility and gap risk matter. Then they zoom out to 2026 themes: policy driven rotations, AMD relative strength versus QQQ, uranium and defense, and the bigger idea behind it all, AI is converting resources into computing power and the opportunity lives in the bottlenecks.
If you want to build a real trading system, the takeaway is simple: know why you are in, know exactly where you are wrong, and know what has to change before you take profits.
