Stop betting on hype and start looking at the math. If your portfolio is just a bet on the "Magnificent Seven" and dueling headlines, you're doing it wrong. That’s the gist of this episode of the MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast, recorded at the 2026 MoneyShow Masters Symposium Hollywood Florida. In it, Matt Powers of Powers Advisory Group and Kevin Simpson of Capital Wealth Planning argue that smart investors should look past speculative news cycles to focus on "boring" fundamentals like cash flow and earnings. The consensus is clear: prioritize quality companies with capital discipline over short-term market noise. The experts also highlight a critical shift toward a broader, less tech-sensitive market move. They advocate for "dividend growers" and companies that responsibly buy back shares without over-accumulating debt. And they explain why true diversification means moving beyond over-concentrated ETFs to find value in sectors like energy. Their final advice is to separate emotion from investing, using market volatility as a mathematical opportunity to buy dips and trim rallies.
