Bull market deserves benefit of doubt.
The U.S. economy and corporate America are resilient. 2022 will not repeat because companies are better prepared, the economy is strong, and risk assets are being driven higher by technology and financials. The underlying corporate earnings cycle remains supportive for U.S. equities.

Small caps acting well, not extended.
Small caps are acting very well, with industrials and small-cap tech up over 30%, and the equal-weighted S&P 600 not at a high yet, providing a potential opportunity.

Financials have significantly underperformed, relative trends are improving, and a slightly better economy supports a catch-up trade. The upgrade is part of the rotation trade.
