Benny & the Squirrel recorded this show on Tuesday 20th January. Benny is currently in Dubai this week - so coordinating time zones across for a live show when both hosts and most of our audience are all awake was too hard!

We discussed the flattener in the US Treasury market and whether or not it will stall the rally we have seen in financials stocks (especially the regional banks).

We then moved on to overall investor positioning - folk are very long stocks at extreme multiples. Benny noted how the conditions are set for a rollover a week or so ago and now it looks like it has begun. We finished with a discussion of software stock - ‘Team SaaS’ is having a tough start in 2026.
