They’re All Laughing at Me
It’s not every day people laugh when I tell them what I’m buying — but that’s been happening lately. And I think it’s worth talking about. As you know, I talk to a lot of people throughout the day —…
It’s a Bull Market. Let’s Count Together.
Lately, you’ve probably heard a lot of noise about “breadth deterioration” and “weakening markets.” But when you actually go in and count — you know, like a grown-up — it turns out to be the exact opposite. Leaders are leading,…
Rotation vs Deterioration

Look around. Have you noticed how upset people get when the market hits new highs? You’d think investors would be thrilled — the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq 100, and Russell 2000 all just closed the month at…
Tech Leadership Denial Syndrome
I don’t know how many times I need to say it — this market isn’t being driven by a handful of mega-cap Tech stocks (the big Technology names everyone talks about). It never was. And it still isn’t. In fact,…
Market Breadth: Wants vs. Needs
