Mike Singleton of Invictus Research joins the podcast to discuss why the current sell-off is not a buying opportunity for stocks.

• Many contrarians currently believe sentiment is too bearish, meaning the market is due for a run for strong performance. Their conclusion is likely wrong (3:28);
• Regardless of what investors say in surveys, the key question is whether they have money on the line -- and how much (5:50);
• Right now retail exposure to stocks is at all-time-highs, while institutional investors have cash at low levels (7:27);
• What about the economic fundamentals, which are mostly in good shape? (10:09);
• The Fed actually has credibility when it comes to tightening interest rates -- and is not just 'jawboning' the market (12:58);
• This is partly because the Fed does a lot more communicating than it has in the past (16:40);
• Inflation has likely peaked and will start to slow, though not by enough to let the Fed ease rates (24:02);
• Background on the guest and 'origin story' for Invictus Research (26:54);
• What part of the business cycle are we in now? (33:23);
• What does that mean for asset classes? (35:34);
• ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) "has been a terrific place to look for shorts -- quick discussion of Cathie Wood and her predicament" (38:03);
• Bonds will become an opportunity when the Fed 'breaks something' and there are indications that may be happening now (40:40);
