Hey, Ross here! Today’s chart shows the US High Yield Index Option-Adjusted Spread, which basically tells us how much extra return investors need to take on riskier junk bonds compared to safe US Treasuries. Right now, the spread is the lowest it’s been all year, meaning risk appetite is actually at its highest. Despite what you may hear, the market is more willing to take on risk than it seems. I break it all down in today’s Insight of the Day.

Hey, Ross here! Let’s take a look at the performance of all S&P 500 sectors from the start of 2024 through last week. The standout? Utilities, with a 28.5% YTD return. The weakest? Energy, at 9.3% YTD. The gap between them is 19.2%—about the total return of the S&P 500 so far this year. That’s the kind of edge you can find by focusing on the right sectors. I break it down in today’s Insight of the Day.

Hey, Ross here! This week’s AAII sentiment survey shows a sharp rise in bearish sentiment, with more investors turning cautious as tensions in the Middle East and election concerns grow. While overall sentiment remains strong, the cracks are starting to show. But here’s the thing – these rising fears can actually present opportunities. In today’s Insight, I explain why this shift might be good news for those paying attention. Don’t miss it!

Hey, Ross here! Today’s chart shows the S&P 500’s price target based on the combined one-year target prices of all 500 companies in the index. If each company hits its median target, the S&P 500 would be over 9% higher at 6,288. Interestingly, this method has often underestimated the market’s strength. A similar calculation last year predicted a lower result than what actually happened. This reinforces what I’ve been saying – the bull market still has room to run.
