A lesson the 2026 market keeps teaching:
“The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.” — Keynes
Shiller P/E is at 42x. Last seen in 1999.
Bears have been “right” for 6 months and lost money every week.
Being early is indistinguishable from being wrong.
Valuation tells you the risk. It never tells you the timing.
Respect both. Bet on neither alone.
Everyone’s watching the Fed.
Almost nobody noticed this:
The S&P 500’s entire 2026 gain comes from 7 stocks.
Strip out NVIDIA and Micron, and tech earnings growth drops from 54% to 30%.
Strip Alphabet and Meta out of comms - and the sector’s “growth” flips to a 4% decline.
The index is at record highs.
The market underneath it is not.
This is what concentration risk actually looks like.
Fed Alert: Kevin Warsh’s first FOMC meeting turns hawkish!
Rates held steady at 3.50%-3.75% (unanimous).
But the statement dropped its easing bias + the dot plot shows more officials now see a rate hike by year-end.
Markets reacted fast:
• S&P 500 -1.2%
• Nasdaq deeper losses
• 2Y Treasury yields spiked
Key takeaway for traders & investors:
Higher-for-longer rates could pressure growth/tech valuations (the recent AI leaders) while creating opportunities in value, defensives, or bonds. The US-Iran deal helped ease oil/geopolitical fears, but the Fed stole the spotlight.
How are you positioning?
• Buying the dip?
• Rotating to defensives?
• Staying in cash?

@BRICSinfo Major development if verified. Handing over enriched uranium would be a huge concession. The real test will be implementation and inspections.
@Jacobtradesz Pov: There are ICT traders who would buy you and all of your possessions and then still making more money on MoM than you have ever made in your lifetime .
Ground yourself a little and make your research.
@RoarWeb3 1M is enough to retire if u r a dumb X spammer. I want to retire generations after me, its not all about cars and materialistic things i want to leave a wealth for generations and be remembered
@rugal_fx It depends on what tf u r trading. I trade on 3/5m why tf would i need to check the monthly. For investments daily/weekly/monthly i would say ARE a must but in trading really depends on what us your style atleast imo
Hot take:
The Fed just told us rate cuts are off the table for now.
With inflation still running hot at 4.2% and a resilient jobs market, higher rates for longer is the new base case.
This isn’t 2024-2025 anymore.

Fed just held rates steady at 3.5-3.75%… but opened the door to hikes later this year.
With May CPI at +4.2% YoY and strong jobs data, is the market overreacting to the hawkish tilt?
What’s your play right now — stay defensive or buy the dip?
