Highlighted geopolitical risk at year start due to military buildup in Middle East; energy rotation has been working; US markets less impacted than Europe/Asia so far despite LNG supply disruption.
Asks what to do in environment with energy/defense up, travel down: buy dip or wait? What indicators to watch?

Investors should stay invested but reduce risk tolerance; can't rely on treasuries as safe haven due to competing inflation/energy crisis fears; gold/silver should be held as safe havens.
Asks how geopolitical risk affects tech recovery story given recent valuation compression and AI disruption fears.

Military industrial complex (Palantir, Northrop Grumman) are short-term winners; AI disruption is real but overblown with 18-36 month timeline; great time to buy oversold winners at dip.
Asks whether to jump into energy/defense names now or wait.

Already rotated into energy since October; conflict gives it runway for next several months.
