Episode notes
INSIGHT

Speculation Concentrated In Sexy Subsectors

  • Markets are hitting new highs while speculative subsectors (chips, genomics, biotech, quantum, Chinese internet) show aggressive short-term moves.
  • That breadth suggests a speculative wave concentrated in narrow, sexy ETFs rather than broad economic improvement.
ADVICE

Deploy Cash Intentionally With Dollar Cost Averaging

  • Be intentional with allocations and dollar cost average when deploying cash into a frothy market.
  • Hold back some cash and accelerate purchases on dips rather than deploying all cash at once.
ADVICE

Favor Value And Health Care Over Late-Stage FOMO

  • Avoid late-stage speculative winners and prefer sectors that lagged this run, like health care and value.
  • Rebalance into areas not up 80% in three years and keep diversification to reduce concentration risk.
