Michael Gayed on Leading and Lagging Indicators, Small Caps, Inflation, Big Tech | S07 E05

Bullish:

• $SMALLCAPS - Small caps are indicating real default risk, contrasting with credit spreads. This divergence suggests potential opportunities in small cap stocks.

  • “Small caps are saying default risk is real. Credit spreads are saying there's no default risk. Yeah. Full stop. This has been my argument since a year and a half ago that one of them is wrong.”

• $VALUE - Value strategies may be poised for a recovery after a period of underperformance, presenting potential investment opportunities.

  • “Either that is fundamentally broken and can't recover. I don't believe that, but, you know, I have to acknowledge that that's a possibility. Or there's there's a sort of great performance coming in front of us”

Bearish:

• $PASSIVE - Passive investing may have become overcrowded, suggesting a potential reversal in this trend.

  • “I still believe in cycles. I also believe that when something becomes the only game in town, it's game over. Because at some point, it becomes a crowded trade.”

    Michael·4:38
• $TECH - The dominance of tech across various market segments may be unsustainable, suggesting a potential downturn in the sector.

  • “The the answer is the same across all three. It's tech. Yes. So it's it's it's not a factor dynamic to sector dynamic.”
