Welcome to May — the month where markets celebrate Cinco de Mayo, Arbor Day, National Tap Dance Day, and pretty much any excuse to keep buying stocks. At this point, if someone declared “National Left Sock Appreciation Week,” the S&P would probably rally.
War? Geopolitics? Rates? Valuations? Reality? Markets shrug, sip a margarita, and keep marching higher. For now. (Insert the usual “not yet anyway” disclaimer.)
And yes, we’ve now graduated from the Magnificent 7 to the Magnificent 10 — inflation hits everything, even acronyms. When ten stocks can drag the entire market around like a toddler with a wagon, you start to wonder: Is this sustainable, or should we all just take a nap and let the indices do whatever they’re doing?
Here’s the part I’ve suspected for decades: Markets aren’t “efficient.” They’re “managed.” Between high‑frequency traders, quants, algos, and whatever unholy AI‑quant‑HFT hybrid is lurking in the shadows, we’re basically choosing between dull markets or chaotic ones. New rules, new game, same confusion.
So when in doubt? Buy Bitcoin. Maybe toss in some ETH for fiber. It’s already on its way to wherever it’s going — up, down, sideways, spiritually ascending — but with supply shrinking, the path of least resistance still looks upward. I’ve been saying for weeks that the low‑$60Ks were the bottom, but conviction is apparently out of style. Once the crowd realizes the move is real, the FOMO stampede will be audible from space.
As for the S&P 500 and gold (and silver): I’m watching. I’m neutral. I’m Switzerland.
Best advice in this circus? Hedge. Always hedge. We’re in a brand‑new market environment with more risk, more volatility, and more ways to be wrong than ever.
See you next week.
