The S&P 500's performance has been truly outstanding this year.

The index is up 9% year to date which is more than DOUBLE the average YTD return in an election year. In the past, the median return during a US presidential election year was about 11%. There are still several months until the presidential election but the index is on track to significantly exceed its historical performance. Source: The Kobeissi Letter

The S&P 500 has not had a weekly drop of 2% or more since the week of October 23rd, 2023.

There have only been a total of TWO weekly drops in the entire 2024 so far. Since October 2023, the S&P 500 has added almost $11 TRILLION in market cap. That's more than 4 TIMES the value of the Canadian stock market added in 5 months. $11 trillion in market cap is also the same value of China's entire stock market. Source: The Kobeissi Letter

BREAKING: The Nasdaq Composite index is officially up 30% from its October 2023 low.

That's a 30% gain in 5 months or an average of 6% per month since October. To put this in perspective, the median ANNUAL return for the S&P 500 is 10%. This means that the Nasdaq has TRIPLED the median sp500 return in just 5 months. The top 10% of stocks in the S&P 500 also now reflect 75% of the index. Tech stocks have never been more powerful.
