It’s funny. During every bull market, I inevitably get labeled a “permabull,” usually by people who spend their time fighting trends instead of participating in them. They want me to turn bearish while prices are going up, largely because they’ve…
After three consecutive years of record-breaking gains for U.S. stocks, a lot of people have reached the same conclusion: A major bear market has to be next. I think everybody’s wrong. That’s not how markets actually work. We’ve already lived…
2025 is officially in the books. Whether it was a great year for you or a frustrating one doesn’t really matter anymore. The calendar has flipped. The scoreboard has been reset. Onward. But here’s the mistake people make every January:…
If this market really looked like 1999 or 2008, the evidence would already be obvious. It would show up in narrowing participation. Fewer stocks going up. More divergences beneath the surface. Leadership breaking down while the headlines stayed optimistic. That’s…

Last Christmas, TrendLabs was still just a dream. This Christmas, it’s being fulfilled. Everybody’s Wrong was and will remain my first statement on the stock market under the TrendLabs banner. It’s the flagship, you make it sail, and I’d like…
The S&P 500 just closed at another new all-time high. Again. That’s exactly the kind of behavior you expect in a healthy bull market. New highs don’t show up once – they tend to cluster. Another hallmark of strong bull…
