The gap between the Magnificent 7 and the S&P 493 (remaining 493 companies) is now 63%

This year, the Magnificent7 is up a massive 75% while the remaining 493 companies are up just 12%. Combined, the S&P 500 is up ~25%, more than doubling the S&P 493's total return. In other words, the Magnificent 7 is up 3 TIMES as much as the S&P 500 and ~6 TIMES as much as the S&P 493. Just 7 weeks ago, the S&P 493 was DOWN 2% this year. Source: The Kobeissi Letter

Bottom? Will the Turmoil In Used Rolex and Patek Market End After Fed's Pivot?

Extract from a zerohedge article: The secondary market for pre-owned Rolex and Patek Philippe watches has been spiraling down since peaking in early 2022, mainly because the Federal Reserve ended helicopter-dropping trillions of dollars in stimulus checks and was forced to begin the most aggressive interest rate hiking cycle in a generation to curb inflation. Now, the Fed's bizarre, unexpected pivot this week has spurred hope that a bottom nears for the luxury watch market. Bloomberg spoke with Christy Davis, a co-founder of Subdial, a UK-based secondary watch market dealer and trading platform, who believes the turmoil in the secondary luxury watch market is ending. "As we look toward 2024, the potential for a soft landing of stable and eventually declining rates is reason for optimism in the watch market," Davis said. Source: www.zerohedge.com
