Buy momentum across sectors
Momentum is the right strategy now as capital is rotating out of energy and defensive positions, flowing into a wide variety of areas with 52-week highs. The S&P equal weight is at a record, and momentum can be found in both AI/semiconductors and non-tech names like Caterpillar, Edwards Lifesciences, Monster Beverage, and Williams-Sonoma. The JOE T ETF (JOET) holds these names and benefits from this broadening momentum trade.

Broadening trade revives on lower rates
The market has successfully digested the large SpaceX IPO without broader damage, clearing the way for more IPO and M&A activity. The rate environment is the key driver, with softer CPI and easing yield pressure removing the energy price overhang, allowing the broadening trade to re-emerge, similar to early 2023.

Hold Teradyne for AI prospects
Teradyne (TER) is a long-term holding in the growth strategy, up 124% this year due to AI prospects. Despite a compressed free cash flow yield to 1.6%, the stock still has amazing AI-related prospects, and the firm continues to hold it, adding for new portfolios while managing position size.
