Big Swings in this “Dispersed” Market
Yesterday I talked about the dispersion we’re seeing in the markets, about how we’re seeing a sharp rise in BOTH winners and losers. Today’s chart shows just how stark that theme really is.
The Market’s Strange Paradox
The market chop continues but the Feb 5 low continues to hold as support. Still, don’t expect this bumpy ride to end anytime soon, especially not with this strange paradox happening right now.
An Extremely Frustrating Market
It’s got to be maddening to be an “S&P 500 only” index investor right now: the S&P has been stuck near its late-October highs, yet we’ve had a nearly unbroken run of net new highs with hundreds of stocks hitting fresh peaks, and about two-thirds of S&P 500 names outperforming the index. That’s rotation—mega-cap tech has cooled off and pulled the cap-weighted benchmark sideways, even while the “average” stock across large-, mid-, and small-caps keeps pushing higher. The key distinction is to not confuse the “stock market” with the “market of stocks”: the index is driven by a few giants, but the real opportunity is often in the broader list of stocks quietly making new highs underneath.

The Truth About the Blistering Small-Cap Rally
It’s Ross Givens here, with Chart of the Day. From November’s onset to yesterday’s close, the Russell 2000 surged an impressive 24.3%, marking its fourth-largest two-month gain in half a century. Amidst this rally, I see untapped potential for small-caps. With declining interest rates driving increased capital expenditures and a potential resurgence in consumer demand due to falling mortgage rates and inflation, the small-cap momentum might just be starting. But don’t expect a one-way trajectory – join me in today’s Insight to discover why I’m cautious about blindly riding the small-cap wave.
