I was in New York City most of the week for the annual CMT Symposium.
On Wednesday afternoon I dropped by Fox Business to chat with Liz Claman about the ongoing bull market that is now on Month #11.
My point in the hit was that a lot of the focus seems to be on these tiny little irrelevant banks disappearing, instead of actual important companies with real market caps.
Just to put things in perspective, First Republic is worth less than a billion dollars. So that and zero may as well be the same thing.
Meanwhile, Microsoft Wednesday was up over $140 Billion in market cap overnight.
So if that's the case, why should anyone care about First Republic?
As long as the market doesn't care, I definitely don't.
It's been broad based appreciation in stock prices since that October morning.
Every US Sector is positive and many are up over 20%, just since October alone. The numbers are even better when you anchor back to when the new 52-week lows list peaked in June.
Historically, during bull markets you see more and more stocks going up and making new highs. In bull markets you see more sectors participating to the upside and more countries around the world breaking out.
This is exactly what's been happening for about 10 months now.
All these uptrends you're seeing in most stocks is not a new phenomenon.
It's a new year with new leaders emerging in the market. So what better time to drop in and chat with our friends over on Fox Business about what's going on.
Charles likes my Ratio charts so we took a look at some of those.
But I think the bigger point here is that Gold doesn't have to be this 'End of the world' trade that some make it out to be.
History has proven time and time again that Gold prices can rise, even during bull markets for stocks. And to be clear, Gold prices can also fall along with stocks.
They are not mutually exclusive.
Check out the full clip and let me know what you think!
I was in the city yesterday for a few meetings and dropped by Fox Business to have a little chat with Charles Payne.
Charles is one of the few who let me talk about whatever I want. No agenda. Just price action.
I appreciate that.
It was just a short hit. But we talked about the seasonal tailwinds for stocks, how a stronger Dollar means stocks will remain under pressure, and what Financials and Homebuilders are telling us about the market.
