All the fear will fade away as the markets memory is very short-term. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/17/global-oil-demand-suppy-energy-prices-iea-inventories.html

One of Simon’s regular YouTube viewers and members, Will Christensen, asked the following question with a $100 superchat in a members’ stream, and I was hoping to get some of your opinions on it. I don’t really have a view on this one because I’m not very informed on the markets, and especially the specific situation Will was referencing. What do you all think? Simon said he would perhaps be interested in reading a handful of your responses and doing a stream discussing them later. https://assets.skool.com/f/-/c50662f2e4274776889e29aa719201c0cc75e2f9a5d241eda473a58a3cf4113f.jpg

The Cantillion Effect is driving greater divide between the asset holders and everybody else. This, in addition to frivolous spending from governments, has created an Unrealized Capital Gains tax movement. For the last few decades investors have argued that the double taxation on earnings distributed to shareholders via a dividend payout has made share buybacks more valuable to investors, but starting in 2028 The Netherlands along with Spain and other countries will start to require you pay cash as an unrealized capital gains. In the US dividends are taxed favorably, and unrealized capital gains may continue to pick up steam around the world ("soak the rich" mentality). Does all of this mean that dividend stocks that today trade without any premium may start to demand a premium on account that they provide you with cash that more or less pays for you to hold the position (offsetting the unrealized gains tax)?
