October CPI came in hot this morning: +0.4% headline, +0.3% core, both above forecast. A December Fed hike is now the base case. When rates rise, most bonds lose value. Floating-rate bonds reset their coupons higher instead. The 5 largest floating-rate ETFs by net assets: $USFR $FLOT $TFLO $FLTR $FLRN Data on each below. Not recommendations.

The S&P 500 just had its worst week since April 2025. Then its best day in seven months. This morning, October CPI came in hot: +0.4% headline, +0.3% core. A December Fed hike is now the base case. Volatility isn't the signal. It's the regime. Five places we see opportunity heading into 2027:

A 4% down day, then the best day in seven months, inside one week. You can't time that. You can build for it. Growth, income and protection. Own all three.

Berkshire Class A shares are up more than 12% over the past month. The S&P 500 is down 5.5%. In the week the market sold AI suppliers, it bought railroads, utilities and a $352B cash pile. Rotations reward balance sheets first.
The Abel era is working. $BRK.B Q3: insurance softened. Everything else grew. → BNSF earnings +19% → Energy +8% → Manufacturing, service and retail +12% And while earnings dipped, Abel more than doubled the buyback to $9.6B. Zero shares were repurchased in all of 2025. What does it tell you when a CEO buys more stock in a down quarter? $OMAH invest like Berkshire but with 15% annual income target paid monthly

Uncertain markets don't call for an exit. They call for knowing what each part of your portfolio is built to do. 5 ETFs. 5 different jobs: $SGOV: cash alternative $USMV: lower volatility $QUAL: quality $PJAN: defined outcome $DBMF: trend following Which of these are interesting to you? Recommend other ETFs that you would like to see highlighted. The data on each is below. Not recommendations. Know what you own.

Thursday was the semiconductor index's worst day since March 2020. Down 12% in one session. Two days earlier, $AMD reported data center revenue up 97% and guided Q4 up ~27% in a single quarter. The prices reset. The order books didn't. What would have to change in the data for this selloff to be right? $AIS the AI Infrastructure ETF $POW the AI Power Infrastructure ETF

The next two tests are on the calendar. $NVDA reports November 17. Hyperscaler 2027 capex guidance lands in late January. If both hold, Thursday will read as a positioning flush, not a turning point.

European defense names fell 3% to 5% this morning on fears of slower US military spending. The base budget isn't what's at risk. Supplemental war funding is. Markets often price the headline before they read the line item.
Every midterm since 1950 has been followed by a higher S&P 500 twelve months later. 19 for 19. Average gain: roughly 16%. This morning Washington moved to divided government. The question for investors isn't who won. It's which spending cycles Congress can actually touch. Which sector looks most mispriced after last night?

$AMZN trailing free cash flow just hit negative $42.4B. The market read it as a warning on AI spending. Tonight the other side of that invoice reported. $AMD data center revenue: +97% y/y. Q4 revenue guide: ~$17B, up ~27% in one quarter. The buyer's cash outflow is the supplier's revenue. One side is being priced for a slowdown. The other just guided to acceleration. What data point over the next 90 days would change your view? $AIS the AI Infrastructure ETF

AMD data center revenue, last five quarters: $4.3B → $5.4B → $5.8B → $6.7B → $8.5B Not one down quarter through the June chip selloff, the July global drawdown, or last week's Amazon reaction. Sentiment has had three "peak AI capex" moments this year. The revenue line hasn't had one.
