Market Commentary:

The Bull Market strengthened, let the naysayers say nay…there is no shortage of great companies doing well.

  • Being able to recite the potential problems in the world does not make you a good investor.
  • The new leadership in the market has expanded to more than tech, or the Magnificent 7.
  • Right now, there are no bad sectors- only bad stocks.
  • If you are waiting for a pullback, ask yourself what actions you took during the last pullback.
  • Tremendous activity in the bio- tech sector. I would not have any shorts in this sector.
  • The number of 52- week low count simply disappeared again. The Advance/decline on the NYSE hit a new high, the NASDAQ snapped back. These are what we hope for as investors.

 

Economic data and market clues:

The big question- does the Fed lower rates by a quarter or half point? I think it does not really matter. They are late to remove and they know it.

The Fed’s path is much more certain. Chairman Powell was clear- rates will be lowered, I think by 50-75 basis points by year end. More rates cuts are a lock for 2025 as well.

Nothing new in the manufacturing or housing data. Manufacturing is too weak, and housing has a shortage of supply.
