EPISODE 13 | When Passive Money Meets Mega IPOs
May 29, 2026 In this episode of Protect the Pile, the team covers liquidity-driven market strength, record S&P levels, resilient global equities, and oil’s strange weakness despite tightening inventories. Patrick Kent, Sam Rahman, David Salem, and new HAM portfolio manager Brooks Cutright discuss index mechanics, free-float rules, profitability tests, and how massive IPOs could reshape passive buying. Sam shares takeaways from Bernstein’s conference, including AI data-center delays, power constraints, and semiconductor momentum. The panel also debates whether energy markets are mispricing crude shortages, potential demand destruction, and late-summer fuel risks. Brooks introduces his index-rebalance background and explains why index inclusion matters.
