S2 E6: US Stocks - Exit Stage Left?

The S+P 500 has risen by +50.8% since the October 2022 low.  The XLK S+P Information-Technology ETF has risen by +88.0% since the October 2022 low.   And since just last October the NASDAQ-100 Index has risen by +31.2% .

The last six-months of this massive bull move in US stocks has been driven by three themes: 

·       Expectations of Fed rate cuts in 2024 

·       AI and chip stocks 

·       The perception that the Consumer is "strong" 

Two of these themes have IMPLODED, and the other has run its near-term course, leaving the US stock market VERY VULNERABLE to profit-taking and an economic-reality-check sell-off. Get the inside scoop and prepare to take some "protective" and "defensive" moves.
