Is This Year 1 of a Bull Market?
The S&P 500 just delivered back-to-back years of 20%-plus returns — and it’s on pace to make it three in a row in 2025. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq-100 has more than doubled during this stretch. So using even the most basic…
Global Stocks Are Setting Records While No One’s Looking
The U.S. stock market makes up less than half of the $127 trillion global equity market. Which means the majority — more than $60 trillion in value — comes from companies headquartered outside the United States. Fifty years ago, maybe…
I Ignore Fundamentals on Purpose
I understand fundamentals just fine. I just don’t use them. I’ve been doing this every single day since I was 21. I’ll be 44 in a couple of months. If I genuinely believed digging through corporate balance sheets was the…

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
Sector rotation messes with people’s heads. They see leadership change hands and immediately assume the market’s rolling over. Relax. Just because the stocks that led the last few months aren’t leading today doesn’t mean breadth is breaking down. It probably…
