How To Play A Dying Monetary Order Into AI Mania / Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour / Jul 16, 2025
Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour full episode from Jul 16, 2025
In this episode of Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour from Jul 16, 2025, Samantha LaDuc and Hans Albrecht discuss how today’s market melt-up is fueled by a mix of bullish sentiment, macro risks, and speculative froth, despite no clear technical or structural breakdown yet.
They explore headline risk like the Powell firing rumor (which triggered intraday volatility), the continued dominance of AI stocks, and a return of retail speculation in "micro-crap" names.
Hans dives into options strategies to navigate a low-volatility environment, warning that cheap premiums could lead to painful surprises on sharp market moves.
Both note that while things still look bullish on the surface, underlying risks—like fiscal dominance, rising yields, labor market softness, and September tariff deadlines—could act as major market triggers in the months ahead.
