When John Thomas — better known as The Mad Hedge Fund Trader — speaks, investors listen. With a career that began in Tokyo in 1974 and spans Wall Street, hedge fund management, and decades of global market experience, he has seen every market cycle imaginable.

In a recent Midday Bell interview with host Rebecca Kurzweil, John shared his outlook on today’s markets and revealed why predicting the next top is nearly impossible.

“Bottoms are easy to identify… tops, you can’t, because it is impossible to measure greed.” 😮

For John, the real challenge isn’t spotting when stocks are cheap — it’s knowing when investor euphoria has reached its peak. That’s why discipline and risk management, like tight stop‑loss orders, are critical.

While tech’s “Magnificent Seven” have dominated headlines, John sees the next big moves coming from interest rate‑sensitive sectors: homebuilders, real estate plays, and even copper — a metal he believes will power the next wave of AI and EV growth.

Whether you’re a long‑term investor or an active trader, his perspective blends history, data, and a sharp sense of market psychology.
