In this episode of Blue Chip Now, the team kicks things off with post–Labor Day reflections and the shift from summer into fall routines. As the discussion moves into the markets, they highlight how September can bring heightened activity and renewed volatility after a quieter summer.

The conversation explores several pressing financial topics: the uncertainty surrounding U.S. tariffs after a recent appeals court ruling, ripple effects in the bond market as yields near 5%, and the fragility of investor sentiment around artificial intelligence companies. The team discusses the importance of diversification, especially as market leadership rotates between sectors like tech, energy, and financials. The episode closes with reminders that despite volatility, markets appear to be resilient and at record highs, providing an opportunity for long-term investors to stay balanced and seek broader opportunities.

“When it’s the same seven, eight, nine stocks leading the market, diversification is not paid. But when you see moves like this, that’s when it’s a nice reminder that diversification, over the long run, does pay.” – Matt Mondoux
