The markets are on fire, and not in a good way. Inflation numbers just dropped, the Fed is scrambling, and Wall Street is in a frenzy over tariffs, rate cuts, and volatile earnings. But is this all part of a bigger setup? Could this choppy cycle be paving the way for the biggest bull run in history?

We're talking to Mario Veneroso today, a Partner and Wealth Manager at Kingsview Wealth Management. He focuses on complex wealth issues for high-net-worth investors, institutions, corporate retirement plans, and foundations...and he thinks we're headed for a bull run...eventually.

Listen as we talk about

✅ Why inflation at 2.8% is misleading—and what it REALLY means for your money
