In this episode of Elevate Market Chat, Shane and Kyle discuss the record highs of major indexes, cautioning about the market’s parabolic trajectory and a 101-day streak without a significant S&P drawdown, reminiscent of 2021’s mania. Shane advocates a bottom-up investment approach, focusing on high-quality businesses like CMG and UNH at fair prices, emphasizing long-term holdings and strict risk control, while questioning the Fed’s 25-basis-point rate cut to 4.15% amid rising inflation and a weak labor market, which fuels asset prices but hurts non-asset owners. Gold’s role as an inflation hedge is highlighted, alongside analysis of ORCL 36% surge and INTC's 30% rally, underscoring the importance of managing risk over chasing gains in an overvalued market ripe for a potential 50% correction.
