Andrew Horowitz: Bull Market Euphoria

Bull Market Euphoria
Longtime friend, Andrew Horowitz, and I were talking on the phone the other day…Apart from catching up as close friends, we dove into some interesting talks about today’s economy.I mean, how could we not?Oil and financials are rolling over, wage growth & home-sales are weakening, auto sales are down, commercial real-estate… yikes.And, on the other hand, you have only a select group of stocks (FANG) that’s really pushing this market… all while the “investor fear gauge” known as the VIX is sitting below 10.Basically, we’re seeing correlations we’ve never seen before… intertwined with market highs that have never been reached.Andrew is calling today’s market “terribly euphoric.”And although I love proving him wrong, with that statement, I couldn’t agree more.So on this week’s episode, as two guys sitting at a bar over some beers would do – we’re taking this conversation in every direction.No agenda..No bullish or bearish anything…Instead, we’re taking a step back. And looking at the market as a whole – analyzing the recent “hard” economic data, earnings, politics, bitcoin, and even fishing.Conversations like this are what my podcast is all about.As always, thanks for tuning in and good investing,Frank CurzioClick here to read to the entire show transcript (pdf)

The cooler PCE isn’t the win you might think

The PCE came in cooler than expected—but there's a catch. Plus, what inflation means for the upcoming earnings season… Trump's meeting of AI leaders… Anthropic's S-1 is a joke… And not all upgrades and downgrades are equal.

Political headwinds can’t derail the AI trade

Forget politics: The AI power story is stronger than ever. Plus, breaking down the market volatility… What the PMI means for inflation… A diesel export ban? … BofA's year-end targets… And McDonald's (MCD) bleak Investor Day.

The market is facing the perfect storm

The perfect storm to push stocks lower. Plus, how Warsh can help ease market fears… Why hyperscalers need to slow AI spending… JB Hunt (JBHT) just sounded the alarm on energy prices… And why did the Clarity Act fail?
