In this week’s episode
Markets absorbed a Fed pause, rising Treasury yields, and huge earnings-driven swings, yet the S&P 500 remains trapped in its summer range. Microsoft and Amazon powered an AI rebound, but continued semiconductor damage suggests the all-clear has not arrived.
We explain why this remains a selective stock-picker’s market and what QQQ, SPY, and market leadership must do next. You’ll also see how we’re maintaining heavy cash levels while taking targeted positions in relative-strength leaders HPE and DDOG.
