The 4th Turning of Markets: Darius Dale on Paradigm C, Inflation, Debt & Investing in 2025

Описание: What if everything you thought you knew about the Fed, fiscal policy, and recession playbooks is already obsolete? In this episode, Darius Dale reveals why the U.S. economy has entered “Paradigm C” — a regime of fiscal dominance, deregulation, and coordinated support — and what it means for portfolios, the Fed, and your financial future.

In this conversation, hosts Pierre Daillie, Mike Philbrick, and Adam Butler welcome back Darius Dale, Founder of 42 Macro LLC, to dissect the seismic shifts reshaping markets in 2025.

Dale explains why April’s bond market shock was the most important event since Lehman, forcing the U.S. into Paradigm C: a policy mix of fiscal dominance, deregulation, and an implicit partnership between the Treasury and the Fed. He argues that recession is no longer bullish for Treasuries, that the Fed’s outdated 2% inflation target is crushing those at the bottom of the “K-shaped” economy, and that retail investors have a once-in-a-generation edge over institutions if they stop chasing factor bets.

From the decline of U.S. exceptionalism risk to the emergence of financial repression, Dale outlines why the simple KISS portfolio — stocks, gold, and Bitcoin — may be the smartest way to retire on time and comfortably.

This is a must-listen for advisors, investors, and anyone trying to navigate the most uncertain macro environment in decades.

🔑 4 Key Takeaways

Paradigm C Defined – The U.S. has shifted to a regime of fiscal dominance and deregulation, aiming to “outgrow” its debt problem rather than cut or print immediately.

The End of Old Playbooks – Recession is now bearish for Treasuries, Fed independence is eroding, and the 2% inflation target is increasingly destructive.

The Retail Investor Advantage – Unlike institutions, individuals can flexibly shift exposure, avoid factor risks, and stick to a simplified but powerful asset mix.

The KISS Portfolio – Dale champions a three-part framework of stocks, gold, and Bitcoin as the most effective way to capture upside while hedging against fiscal repression and monetary debasement.
