In this week’s market update, I walk through the lessons from the sharp April selloff, why our team viewed it as a classic “V-bottom” recovery, and how history may guide what comes next. I compare today’s AI-driven market cycle with the Dotcom buildout of the late 1990s, highlighting which sectors have led year-to-date and what that might mean for investors as we head into year-end repositioning season. From technology and semicond...

Are we in the middle of a historic V-bottom recovery that mirrors the Dotcom boom, but this time fueled by AI? In this week’s update, I break down why I believe the Federal Reserve’s recent rate cut, the strength of the S&P 500 since April, and the powerful role of semiconductors all point to a bull market that still has room to run. I compare today’s market action to the late 1990s tech buildout, explain what history tells us ...

Will the stock market keep soaring toward 7,300–7,400, even with higher rates, global tensions, and Fed uncertainty? I'm going to break down what Jerome Powell’s dovish comments really mean, why the S&P 500 is hitting record highs, and what decades of market history reveal about Fed pauses and rate cuts. Drawing on almost 35 years of managing money, I show how today’s cycle mirrors the dot-com era, why liquidity drives markets ...

Is history repeating itself? The S&P 500 near 6,450 is tracking the late ’90s Dot-com rally almost to the week, and it could signal more upside ahead. Find out why August 1st may mark the low for 2H 2025, why fears about interest rates and foreign bond selling are likely overblown, and how falling volatility points to stronger markets into 2026. Get the context you need to understand where we are in this bull market and what it...

Fears of a major pullback may be overblown - Watch today's video to hear which past cycles I believe today’s market is echoing. I also go over what we're seeing in earnings, volatility, and institutional positioning, why we remain bullish heading into late 2025 and 2026, and what sectors may lead the next leg higher. If you're curious about how we're adjusting our long/short hedged equity strategy, what lower bond volatility really...

Today I'm walking you through the incredible 3.75-month V-bottom rally we’ve seen since mid-April, why it happened without Fed intervention, and what history suggests could be next. I’ll share why we believe the bull market remains intact, even as we head toward a likely late-summer pause or mild pullback before a potential 4th quarter rally and continued strength into 1H26. Along the way, I’ll highlight key market patterns, season...

We've been seeing a powerful market rally since April—a classic V-bottom recovery that unfolded without Fed intervention and defied the doom-and-gloom predictions of many so-called experts. I explain why our team at Oak Harvest Financial Group saw this coming, why we're still bullish long term, and why now might be the perfect time to take a breath and reassess your investment plan—not chase returns. Watch to gain a clearer view of...

In this week’s video, I walk you through why we believed the April lows marked the bottom for stocks this year—and how the market’s powerful V-bottom rally played out almost exactly as we anticipated. I’ll share what history tells us about July’s bullish tendencies, why the current market resembles late 1998 more than peak Dot-com, and what you can expect in the weeks ahead. But before you get swept up in the optimism, I’ll explain...

After a volatile first half of the year, what's really happening in the markets? Post-election rallies, sharp corrections, and a historic V-bottom recovery... What does history tell us about new all-time highs, investor sentiment, and why being “overbought” or “overvalued” isn’t the red flag many think it is? Watch today's Stock Talk to learn what to expect for the rest of 2025, which sectors might rotate, and why a potential summe...

I'm going to talk about what made this rally different from past rebounds, why history pointed to a V-bottom recovery, and what comes next as we head into the back half of the year.

In this quick, data‑packed update, I walk you through why our team called the April 7 market bottom in real time, how the ensuing “V‑bottom” has already delivered a 1,000‑point surge, and most importantly, what history says usually follows moves like these. You’ll see the hard numbers behind my “Victory formation” thesis, learn why a slow grind to new highs (and a summer pullback worth buying) is the most likely path, and discover ...

What does the brewing battle over interest rates between President Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell mean for investors like you? Using real-time market data and historical context, I break down whether the Fed is keeping rates too high, how past decisions played out, and why the President may actually have the better read on today’s economy.

Buckle up for our team's latest analysis on why we believe the market likely hit its low back in early April and is now following a classic V-bottom recovery pattern without the help of Fed rate cuts.

The April 7th low marked a major turning point for the stock market and today we talk about how history, technical signals, and market breadth indicators support a bullish outlook going forward. I explain the significance of recent breadth thrusts, including a rare combination that has historically led to strong market gains, and why most investors missed this “V-bottom” rebound. We also discuss the market’s reaction to the recent ...

There was a sharp market rally that followed the early April lows—what many are calling a “V-bottom”—and most investors missed the rebound. Today let's talk about how real-time market data, not media narratives, pointed to improving conditions well before the news of tariff reductions between the U.S. and China hit. I also compare today’s market setup to the mid-1998 Dot-Com period, not the bubble peak, highlighting what historical...

Despite all the recent market turmoil, our team at OHFG believes April 7th will be likely marked the low—not just a low—for the S&P 500, and why historical signals like the rare Zweig Breadth Thrust are flashing strong bullish signs for the next 6–12 months. I break down the data behind these signals, explain why panicking now is often a mistake for long-term investors, and share who you should and shouldn’t be listening to whe...

Let's cut to the chase about the recent volatility in the markets and what it could mean for long-term investors. You’ll hear my take on whether April 7th marked a low or the low for the S&P 500, why I believe now may actually be a time to consider buying rather than retreating, and why the much-feared "Death Cross" may be more of a lagging indicator than a useful signal. I also compare today’s market drop to similar periods in...

In this podcast, I take you through what has been one of the most unexpected and chaotic starts to a presidential term in modern market history—what I’m calling “Trump 2.0 meets economic whiplash.” You’ll learn why the markets went from optimism and strength to panic and selloff almost overnight, how the surprise implementation of global tariffs reshaped investor sentiment, and why historical market cycles—like Dot.com and LTCM—may...
