Episode notes
Market Valuations Diverge
- Market valuations differ sharply between expensive momentum stocks and cheaply priced cyclicals.
- Some cyclicals could outperform if earnings hold steady despite tariff and rate risks.
Earnings Outlook Is Slated To Beat
- Earnings estimates are very low, underestimating margins despite tariff headwinds.
- A weaker dollar provides a huge tailwind for tech earnings, especially for major tech companies.

- Know your entry point and earnings dates before buying momentum stocks.
- Be ready for volatility since big returns have pulled forward gains that risk a correction.
