Lance looks at where earnings are really occurring (in the Mag-7 companies); what happens if those top 10% companies cease growing? Earnings expectations are what move market prices; why Wall St. is the "sell" side, and investors are on the "buy" side. Gold is very over-bought; deviated nearly five-times above moving averages.

Despite how often it is quoted and discussed, many investors do not truly appreciate what implied volatility measures. The VIX has been rising alongside the market in a non-typical fashion. With the presidential election in a few weeks, the Fed changing course on monetary policy, and Israel potential for attacking Iranian oil facilities, the increasing level of implied risk should not be shocking.

I was recently asked about the seemingly strong “economic growth” rate as the Federal Reserve prepares to start cutting rates.
