Positively Sloped
Positively Sloped is where markets, culture, and momentum collide — because the most interesting things in the world are the ones trending up and to the right. Jake and Scott break down what’s moving — in the markets, in the headlines, and in your group chat — with sharp insights, real opinions, and just enough irreverence to make finance actually fun. These are the conversations we’ve been having for years — debates, hot takes, and deep dives — just now with a mic in front of us.

16. Iran War Shocks Markets | Nvidia vs AMD, Nasdaq Correction & Private Credit Panic
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Markets are reacting fast to escalating tensions in the Middle East. We break down how the Iran conflict is impacting stocks, oil, inflation expectations, and volatility and what it means for investors right now.
We dive into the AI semiconductor trade, comparing NVIDIA and Advanced Micro Devices, and discuss whether this pullback is a buying opportunity or the start of something deeper. Is the Nasdaq heading for an official 10% correction?
On the private markets side, we examine redemption pressure at Blackstone and discuss whether firms like Ares Management and Blue Owl Capital are facing a broader private credit reckoning — or if panic is creating opportunity.
