Five years ago in November of 2020, Ed @yardeniresearch.bsky.social coined the phrase “Roaring 2020’s" as his forecast for the decade. Good call.

Ed stopped by tonight to lay out his case for S&P 500 10,000 by year-end. Real people on The Street listen to Ed.

Home prices are actually moderating.

I understand that politically and emotionally many people don't want to hear it. In some places, they are outright falling. Of course there are exceptions. The anecdote about the home you just bid on is not invalidated by this data, so try to calm down.

The Flying Car Moment is Now Months Away

Charles Lemonides stopped by fresh from the Dubai Air Show. As a shareholder in Joby Aviation, I was very excited to hear all about it. We may be seeing the first eVTOL taxi service in the UAE by the second half of 2026.

We haven’t had a meaningful bear market in nearly 20 years. You might think “surely, this must end soon.” Historically, you would be wrong about the *must* part. The length of a bull market doesn’t have to obey your feelings or mine.

There were only 9 companies on earth with a market value over $1 trillion. Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Saudi Aramco, Broadcom, Berkshire and Tesla.

On Friday, a 10th name joined the list.

Eli Lilly, welcome to the Trillion Dollar Club

The pharmaceutical company’s success developing medicines for obesity has swelled its worth to levels associated with tech titans like Apple and Google and dwarfed that of its drugmaking peers.

No one is completely immune to the Fear Of Missing Out. Today's lesson is that there is a cure for FOMO and that cure is available to everyone, free of charge. All you have to do is stick around for awhile and watch.

The thing I never understood about crypto markets is why everyone needs to be so utterly and completely leveraged. As though it wasn’t already a big enough bet or a volatile enough instrument.

Someone told me “Josh, they’re gamblers, it’s in their nature. That’s it.”

I said “that can’t be it.”

The Carlyle Group took its name from the old New York hotel where its founders held their meetings

The Blue Owl took its name from the tavern where Hobbits hid out from the Nazgûl and eventually met Aragorn.

I used to think recession was the absolute worst thing that could happen because recessions do economic damage, harm household finances, break up marriages, cause alcoholism and suicides and could potentially lead to depressions. I don’t think that anymore.

More than a third of S&P 500 stocks are down over 20% from their year highs. You wouldn't know it because of how well Apple and Nvidia are doing. Some really high profile names like Lululemon, Nike, Chipotle, UPS and more are getting absolutely annihilated right now.

My friend Brian Belski said S&P 7,000 last November as his 2025 year-end target. And we’re there. Here’s what he thinks now and why he’s more excited about Midcaps and dividend growers vs the Mag 7 trade.
