In the latest podcast interview, Phil Rosen, Co-Founder of Opening Bell Daily, and Anthony Pompliano, CEO of Professional Capital Management, discuss the factors behind the downturn in stocks and Bitcoin. They also discuss economic policies under Trump and Kamala, the proposed capital gains tax hike, and what asset prices could look like with potential interest rate cuts.

He notes that Bitcoin is hovering around $56k, down 12% over the last six months, with a 30% drop in daily active addresses. Despite this downturn, Pompliano points out that Bitcoin holders are long-term players, treating it like a financial asset rather than a regular consumer product.

Rosen also discusses potential catalysts that could affect Bitcoin’s price in the next six to twelve months. While there is no clear driver for a massive price surge, he suggests that events like interest rate cuts or even large-scale purchases by Sovereign Wealth Funds could bring bullish momentum. However, he tempers expectations, saying a full-blown bull market may not be imminent, and volatility is expected to decline over time, making Bitcoin less risky than the S&P 500.

September is historically the worst month for stocks, with the S&P 500 losing an average of 7% over the past 75 years. Despite this, investors remain bullish, with record levels of investment pouring into stocks and the S&P 500 hitting nearly 40 record highs this year.

Rosen points out two key takeaways: First, long-term investing in stocks has proven successful for many, as consistent investing can lead to wealth accumulation over time.

Second, while there is concern about overexposure and a potential market crash, the real focus should be on long-term investment strategies rather than short-term fluctuations.

A crucial part of Rosen’s argument hinges on the inevitable devaluation of the U.S. dollar. As the dollar loses value, financial assets like real estate and stocks will naturally rise in price. This phenomenon explains why real estate investors consistently make money, even if the property hasn’t necessarily increased in intrinsic value. The loss of purchasing power in the dollar means that future buyers will need to pay more for the same assets.

Moving on with advice to stay long in the market, Rosen sees the bull market rolling on, but don’t expect sky-high surges of 100% or 200%. Instead, steady growth is the game, fueled by the U.S. dollar’s devaluation. While some fear a crash, Rosen believes the key lies in long-term, consistent investing, with the S&P 500 proving to be a wealth-building powerhouse for those who can ride the bumps.
