- Market Breadthpositive for stocksshort-termCredit default swaps peaked two days ago and keep falling — fear has already peaked and the crowd talking about skyrocketing CDS is missing the boat.Source
- MSFTbullishmid-termMicrosoft beat earnings with its larger services segment growing faster; its CDS are stable and priced far below even Nvidia's, so risk is low despite the $25B raise.Source
- Geopoliticsneutralmid-termIran talks are on and off; a deal would be bullish and kill rate-hike odds, but the deadlock persists and oil above $110 would weigh on income and jobs.Source
- GOOGLbearishlong-termHe believes Google search is genuinely being destroyed by AI and the company is papering over it, but treats it as an isolated disaster rather than a market-wide signal.Source
- Fed Policypositive for stocksmid-termA dovish Fed (Warsh) cut expected hikes from 3.1 to 2.5; he thinks this raises the odds of a one-and-done cycle, and an Iran deal would take hikes off the table entirely.Source
- Inflationnegative for stocksmid-termDovish talk lifted 5-year breakevens to levels last seen at the September hike; he concedes this is the bearish counter-argument to his one-and-done view.Source
