Dear Reader,
This week, I spoke with Keith Fitz-Gerald, the well-known market analyst and educator, and co-founder of Keith Fitz-Gerald Research. You’ll see him on FOX Business News, CNBC, and other financial media every week. He’s the author of 5 with Fitz, a free daily letter that cuts through the noise with actionable investing and trading ideas.
I encourage you to sign up for his free letter—I read it daily. It’s concise yet packed with investing ideas. You can do so here.
In this week's Global Macro Update, we discuss why investors sitting on the sidelines are missing out on a tremendous opportunity and where they should be looking… the two tech stocks you should unload now… why FTX will be remembered as crypto’s Enron… the event that may trigger crypto’s resurgence and widespread adoption… and much more.

Cash on the Sidelines
Legendary investor Warren Buffett once said to “be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.”
In 2022, fear seems to be winning out.
The chart below shows that fund managers are moving large amounts of cash to the sidelines. Historically, they’ve held lower amounts of cash than today about 95% of the time.
Clearly, fear is dominating greed right now—which, as Keith Fitz-Gerald points out in our interview, presents a huge opportunity for savvy investors.
