The Market Ear | Live news, analysis and commentary on what moves markets and trading

The Mag 7 ETF MAGS is now up 60% since the April 8th low.

Echoes of 2000

The 35% global rally since April lows echoes the 2000 TMT bubble.

Much more than 2000

The S&P 500 has never been more concentrated in just ten stocks than it is today with the biggest U.S. companies representing over 38% of the index.

The last time resulted in the dot-com bubble

Starting a rate cut cycle with double digit earnings has only happened once in past 40 years.
