Bullish:

• $EXCHANGES - George views exchanges as a key indicator for market corrections, suggesting they are often the last to be sold off. He consistently includes exchange stocks like NASDAQ in his portfolio, indicating a long-term bullish stance on the sector.

  • “I always look to them as okay if if the market's been correcting for a while, then all of a sudden you wake up one day and the exchanges are all smoked. Like, you're probably at the very last leg of that correction because that's the last thing people are gonna sell.”
