Should You Believe The Bounce? A Look At Markets After This Week's Sell-Off (And Recovery)

In this week's weekly investment research meeting, the team reviews the stellar performance of our alternative assets, including a 10x exit announcement by Alt PM Joseph Pochodyniak. We take a look at the current technical posture of the market, what happened this week, and what are the major economic indicators telling us. Topics include the S&P 500 (SPY), NASDAQ 100 (NDX, QQQ), Canadian stocks, along with a 30,000 foot view of gold and silver after the recent sell-off, copper, energy, natural gas and more. We look at the ongoing capital rotation towards defensive stocks, stretched valuations, the odd behaviour of market breadth, and geopolitical implications in 2026. Additional topics include crypto and the massive bitcoin sell-off, commodities, rates, and other areas. This discussion is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.
