Best and worst calls
S&P 500 uptrend is intact, recent rally valid.
The S&P 500 has been at a new high 7% of all days since 1957, indicating the general direction of travel is up. The recent 10% rally in 10 days is not a head fake and suggests the low is in, as the market was not overextended before the rally and is discerning between sectors, with AI, tech, and power driving gains.

"Defense stocks going up... essentially rotating away from danger." The conflict involves drone and missile exchanges between state actors (Iran/Israel). This guarantees replenishment of munitions and defense systems, directly benefiting prime defense contractors. LONG. Pure play on geopolitical escalation. De-escalation or budget caps in the US.

"Countertrend rallies in... credit sensitive investment banks." Despite the "fear," credit spreads remain stable ("nowhere near Covid" levels per Joe Terranova). If spreads aren't blowing out, investment banks remain profitable and are currently trading as a value rotation play. LONG. Financials are participating in the rotation. A credit event or spike in yields causing a halt in deal-making.
