Leaving money in cash feels responsible. But inflation doesn't wait, and doing nothing is still a decision.

In pilot episode, Alejandro is joined by mathematician and AI researcher Serhii Nikolaiev to break down what it actually takes to move from idle capital to a structured portfolio.

They explore acquisition power, liquidity risks, and how sectors like real estate and ETFs really behave when you treat your money like an employee that works 24/7.

This episode is not about tips or forecasts. Just clear thinking on where to start — and why most people don't.

Geopolitical shocks don’t just move headlines — they move markets, currencies, and access to capital.

In this special episode of the Foresee Markets Podcast, Alejandro Ramirez Lemus and Serhii Nikolaiev discuss how individuals can think about financial resilience during periods of sudden uncertainty.

The conversation explores practical considerations such as digitizing money, maintaining liquidity across borders, and how different asset classes can behave during volatility.

A timely discussion on financial preparedness when stability cannot be taken for granted.

Before you can participate in markets, you need the infrastructure to do so. This episode is about exactly that — opening a brokerage account, understanding the account types available, preparing the right documentation, and navigating the platform from a blank account to a live trade order including what happens when your first order gets rejected and how to adjust it.

Alejandro and Serhii walk through the full process on screen. They also get into order types, limit pricing, and what the platform flags when your order can’t be executed — and why — the kind of detail that only becomes clear when you're actually inside the interface.

The same geometric pattern in the S&P 500 that appeared during the 2018–2020 period and repeated through 2025 is showing up again in March 2026. Different macroeconomic triggers each time — tariffs, a pandemic, geopolitical tension — but the same market structure on the chart.

In this episode, Alejandro and Serhii map all three cycles side by side on live SPY data. Based on prior cycles, they identify early April as a potential inflection point where the current drop may begin to stabilise. They're clear that this is pattern recognition, not prediction — and that the math can be misleading.

They also discuss where they are personally positioning capital while waiting for the market to find its floor, including short-duration government bonds currently yielding around 4%.

Several weeks ago, Alejandro and Serhii built a portfolio based on a straightforward thesis: during supply shocks, commodity ETFs and broad equity markets tend to move in opposite directions. The portfolio — built around oil, wheat, corn and diversified commodity funds — has since grown by 13.04% while the S&P 500 declined by 1.89% over the same period.

This episode walks through why that happened. The difference between owning a commodity and owning a commodity company. How oil supply disruptions create negative correlation with equities. Why Exxonand crude oil diverged sharply over the same five-day window. All of it shown on screen, with live data.

The numbers are real. The portfolio is real. The analysis is grounded in what markets actually did, not what they were supposed to do.

A $1,000,000 portfolio built on AI-driven equity selection returned 62% over the period — compared to 46% on the S&P 500 over the same timeframe. That's 16 percentage points ahead of the benchmark on a fully automated system.

In this episode, Alejandro walks through how that system actually works — starting from a universe of 3,100 companies filtered by market capitalisation ($400M+ threshold) and liquidity, down to 127 investable positions selected by the algorithm. Serhii walks through the mathematical logic behind the filtering and portfolio construction.

They also address something most quantitative content avoids: the limitations. The system underperformed early while it was learning. There were periods where the S&P recovered faster. And AI cannot process unstructured signals like geopolitical events unless explicitly programmed to — that gap still requires human judgment.

The takeaway is not that automation beats everything. It's that the right combination of systematic discipline and informed oversight is what actually outperforms.
