Oil Rally Ending Soon? Sector Rotation Strategy Revealed

Описание: In this episode of The Smart Money, Dumb Money Show, Keith Richards breaks down the sector rotation underway in early 2026 and shows where the best opportunities – and biggest risks – are emerging around the Iran conflict and oil spike.

You’ll see why oil and energy were already breaking out before the war, how the conflict accelerated that move, and what it means for your portfolio over the next few weeks and years. Keith also explains why ValueTrend is holding elevated cash, which sectors to avoid for now, and where he’s starting to bargain-hunt.
