The RARE Advisor: Where Did All That Money Go?

Q1 2026 delivered no shortage of surprises, from record highs and geopolitical conflict to one of the largest oil price spikes in modern history. In this episode of The Trending Report, we move beyond the headlines to examine what the underlying data is actually telling us. We break down why U.S. stocks struggled while international and emerging markets held up, how commodities and energy surged into leadership, and why volatility spiked so sharply. We also explore the larger forces still shaping the long-term outlook—including global AI investment—and what disciplined investors should keep in mind during periods of heightened uncertainty.

In the March edition of the Trending Report, host Tyler Krzciok breaks down the evolving landscape as we wrap up the first quarter of 2026. After a speculative run early in the year, momentum is cooling and quality‑driven investments are stepping forward. Tyler explains why March is the ideal moment for portfolio “spring cleaning,” how disciplined rebalancing keeps risk in check, and why sticking to a formula beats reacting to market noise—especially during a month as unpredictable as March Madness. Learn why rotation is healthy, what the trend lines are signaling, and how a rules‑based approach helps investors finish Q1 with confidence.

In this episode of the Trending Report, host Tyler Krzciok explores why February is the month when even the most disciplined investment intentions start to slip. After a confident and structured January, many investors begin questioning their strategy as headlines intensify, markets wiggle, and hot themes take over the conversation. Tyler breaks down why old habits reappear, how emotions like love, fear, and FOMO quietly steer decisions, and why formula‑driven processes help clients stay grounded when impulse tries to take over. If you're helping clients maintain clarity in a noisy environment, this episode shows how strong frameworks—not strong feelings—keep investors on track.
