Retail Sales numbers this week will feed into expectations for 2025. Fed meeting tomorrow: Cut and pause, or cut and slow? Employment revisions are also due, but markets won’t care. The stock market is still hitting all time highs, but that’s not necessarily the case, sector by sector: Basic Materials, Industrials, Financials, and Energy are not mirroring the S&P 500; the Magnificent 7 is responsible for the bulk of growth. It’s a very narrow market. “When you sit down with your portfolio management team, and the first comment made is “this is nuts,” it’s probably time to think about your overall portfolio risk.

Over the last several years, we have regularly discussed the importance of the National Federation Of Independent Business Survey (NFIB) concerning the economy. As noted in our most recent update (October 12th) on the index:
“While Wall Street’s bullish narrative is compelling, the latest data from the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index provides a stark contrast. Small businesses are the backbone of the U.S. economy, and the sentiment captured in the NFIB survey offers a more granular view of the challenges facing Main Street, which often diverges from Wall Street’s broader outlook. The index remains at levels more normally associated with economic contractions than expansions.”

"CPI Was On The Screws: The Fed Has

Yesterday’s CPI report was seemingly the last hurdle for the Fed to cut interest rates. With the CPI index matching Wall Street forecasts, the Fed Funds futures market now implies a 97% chance the Fed will cut rates next Wednesday.

Periods of extreme leverage and speculation are not new, and the outcomes have consistently been painful for unprepared investors. The late 1990s dot-com bubble serves as a prime example. Speculative bets on internet stocks drove valuations to extraordinary levels, with investors leveraging margin accounts and options to chase gains. When the bubble burst, the Nasdaq lost nearly 80% of its value, leaving leveraged traders especially vulnerable to devastating losses. Lance and Jonathan discuss these lessons from history on today’s show, plus a discussion on asset diversification, and what happens when all assets become correlated, the fallacies of diversification, and overlap risk.
