20 January 2026

Progressive’s Jeremy McKeown recently caught up with Erik@YWR, a widely experienced investment professional and popular Substacker.

Erik discusses his experience investing in Africa in the 20’teens and his involvement in what he calls Project Zimbabwe; don’t think that we, in the West, are immune from our own versions of Project Zimbabwe. In Erik’s view, we are, and counterintuitively, it partially explains Erik’s current bullish stance on equities, with his framing of S&P 10,000 and how we can get there.

He also shares how his investing process identifies sectors and markets at inflexion points, and he currently sees energy (specifically oil and gas) as poised to join the commodity rally underway in metals and rare earths.

He also discusses how AI and robo-advisors might challenge the impact of passive investing on equity markets. .
