The past month has brought a staggering V-shaped market recovery—one sharper and faster than even the post-COVID rebound. As Joey Loss and Adam Van Wie discuss, it serves as a reminder that markets don’t just bounce; they whiplash in ways that defy headlines, sentiment, and short-term logic.

Despite being just a few points off their all-time highs, the S&P, Dow, and NASDAQ are surging not on hype, but on breadth. This isn’t just the Mag 7—it’s a recovery touching unloved sectors and small caps alike. Even international markets have shown surprising strength. But the core message? Don’t mistake momentum for certainty.

Tariff fears, inflation concerns, and a Moody’s downgrade have made noise, but history shows that markets often rally in the face of doubt. As Adam notes, the smartest investors weren't market timing; they were quietly rebalancing portfolios, letting discipline, not panic, guide strategy. That’s where the wins were.

Retail sentiment, social media echo chambers, and political divides muddy perception. Yet the fundamentals tell a clearer story: inflation is trending down, optimism is rising, and earnings will be key. Momentum may carry the market, but valuations demand scrutiny.

Whether you're navigating trade policy, rate cut speculation, or the ever-louder digital noise, the same lesson holds true: stick to the plan. Don’t react to every scare. Stay diversified. The market may be rigged—but it’s rigged in favor of those with patience, perspective, and a long-term view.

Key Topics:

  • The Current State of the Market (00:00)
  • Winners and Losers Over the Past Month (04:49)
  • Fundamentals That Have Shaped the Market in the Last 4 Weeks (09:27)
  • Why It’s Dangerous to Try to Time the Market (11:57)
  • Escaping Your Echo Chamber (14:04)
  • Is Inflation Going Up Or Down? (19:59)
  • Key Economic News (23:14)
  • What We Currently Know About Changes to the Tax Law (26:57)
