Last Sundays Podcast I gave you a lot to think about Many of you wanted more detail I know I know So here is a pure financial speak overview for all of you since I know yesterday scared many of you Let me tell you what I see happening in this market right now. The bull market is still in place believe it or not I think so Why do I think that First again as I said last Sunday market participation is broadening beyond just a handful of technology stocks. Banks are breaking out. REITs are acting well. Biotechnology continues to lead. Value stocks and small-cap companies are outperforming. And perhaps most importantly, the long-term investment theme of artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and technological innovation remains strong and intact even for they have been hit hard The dollar has become very strong, perhaps too strong in the short term. But a stronger dollar can actually help consumers because it puts downward pressure on commodity prices and can help keep inflation under control. It is also one reason smaller companies have performed so well this year. Commodities are beginning to soften. Oil prices appear to have room to move lower, which would be welcome news for consumers and businesses alike. Gold and silver have pulled back, but longer-term trends remain worth watching. Bond ( not my fav) yields have been drifting lower alongside oil. If that trend continues, it could eventually be great for stocks, housing, and the overall economy. Now let’s talk about where the money is flowing. I also have told you I like banks and for now they continue to look strong. When major institutions are participating, it tells you that investors are gaining confidence in economic growth rather than preparing for recession. Which is why I suggested BND REITs to my surprise continue to perform Healthcare is another area I continue to like, particularly biotechnology - the etf XBI was recommended months ago. One of the biggest surprises of the year has been the strength of value investing. While everyone continues to focus on artificial intelligence, many of the best-performing stocks have actually been traditional value names. That’s a reminder that diversification still matters. And what about the so-called Magnificent Seven? These remain extraordinary businesses with powerful balance sheets, dominant market positions, and long-term growth opportunities. They should still be part of a diversified portfolio. I still like semiconductors, semiconductor equipment companies, industrial machinery, power infrastructure, and transportation. These are all areas tied directly to economic growth and technological expansion. That's the future peeps So what’s the bottom line? The market is no longer being carried by a handful of stocks. Leadership is broadening. Small caps are leading More sectors are participating. That doesn’t mean there won’t be pullbacks. There always are. But right now, the evidence suggests that investors should stay invested, remain diversified, dollar cost avg and continue focusing on quality Now you know
