2026-08-04
GOLD
bullish
Julia La Roche Show · video
Central banks are continuously buying gold as reinsurance against systemic risk, the gold-to-M2 ratio is at multi-decade lows, and every historical phase transition between monetary systems drives gold dramatically higher — scenario analysis puts price…
“gold is the cheapest insurance you can buy… gold to M2 ratio is the lowest it has been”

Investment Grade Credit
bearish
Julia La Roche Show · video
AI CAPEX is fully front-loaded (doubled in one year, 100% of cash flow committed) while returns are 3–5 years away, 25% of investment-grade bonds are now AI-linked, and Oracle CDS has already widened 4x — making AI credit, not AI equity, the true tail-risk…
“the tail on AI is not the equity. The tail on AI is the credit… watch the Oracle CDX. Don't watch the stocks.”

SILVER
bullish
Julia La Roche Show · video
Silver consistently follows gold higher during phase transitions while the gold/silver ratio compresses from currently elevated levels back toward 30, making it a high-beta catch-up trade on the same trust-breakdown thesis.
“silver always catches up and the gold to silver ratio always goes down… as low as 30 in these periods”

Long Dur Treasuries
bearish
Julia La Roche Show · video
Fed transmission efficacy is at a cycle low, rate moves increasingly trigger unintended bond-market reactions, and yield-curve control is coming — making long-duration bonds the worst asset to hold through the current phase transition.
“don't invest in long-term bonds”

long COPPER / short AI TECH EQUITIES
pair
Julia La Roche Show · video
Physical AI infrastructure (copper, uranium, nuclear, energy grid) has been incorrectly sold off alongside AI tech stocks despite being government-backed sovereign build-out, while AI tech equities remain overvalued relative to a 3–5 year CAPEX-before-returns…
“the physical world will get revalued up versus the digital world going forward”
