1.Valuation Extreme PeaksOn the topic of valuations and market cycles, I re-post this chart which shows how the stockmarket traveled on average into and after valuation-extreme market peaks.Probably the key point to make is that the ride up is deceptively and seductively smooth, but when it turns it turns suddenly and significantly. Again, it goes to reiterate that point from before — we are in a dangerous market moment for bulls and bears alike… $S&P 500(.SPX)$$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ Image2.Gold vs CommoditiesGold might yet have further to run, but at this point the best risk/reward is in other commodities... $Gold - main 2508(GCmain)$ Image3.I
Echoing those themes, I feel it’s important to highlight this chart. Tech sector valuations have reached a new post-dot com bubble high. In other words, you had to go all the way back to the heights of the dot com bubble to find a more expensive market and crazier valuations (not to mention market sentiment).Again, to give some balance to it, we do need to keep in mind that valuation indicators like this are ultimately measures of investor confidence. Sometimes that confidence is well-placed, other times it’s an over-extrapolation of the past and the result of excess greed and liquidity sloshing through the system.But the key truth here is that tech stocks are extremely expensive, and non-tech stocks are not exactly cheap either. As I noted before — we’re well progressed in this market cyc
It’s different this time…That’s what they say.And to be fair, they kind of have a point.The tech boom we are living through right now is extremely different from the dot com bubble on many counts.And yet —it seems for every difference there is a similarity, for every justification and cause for optimism there are rising risks and cause for concern.This week’s chart is a perfect illustration… It shows the path of US Semiconductors’ market cap weighting (which has just reached a new all-time high).Here’s some perspectives on this chart and possible next steps.Glass Half-Full: sectors rise and fall over time and new sectors get big and stay bigger for longer as their economic significance rises (e.g. General Motors was the biggest stock for decades during mass adoption of automobiles, the ene

Will Coinbase Continue Rising as Crypto Legislation Nears?
The U.S. Congress is advancing three major cryptocurrency bills that could impact the $2.8 trillion global crypto market. This marks the beginning of comprehensive regulation for the industry.What Changes Do the Bills Bring?Stablecoin RegulationStablecoins like USDC must hold full reserves, similar to bank deposits, and provide monthly public ledgers. Compliant companies will benefit from this regulation.Token ClassificationTokens like Bitcoin are classified as "commodities" regulated by the CFTC, while some tokens are deemed "securities" under SEC oversight. This clarity helps exchanges know which tokens can be legally traded.Ban on Government Digital Currencies (CBDCs)To address concerns about government-issued digital currencies enabling surveillance of all spending records, the legisla
$Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ TSMC's (TSM) earnings report saw the stock price spike and then pull back. I believe the main issue is similar to what was mentioned yesterday: Q3 is expected to grow 4% quarter-over-quarter, but the numbers aren’t particularly enticing. Additionally, the stock had already hit new highs prior to the report. Even though management expressed strong optimism about AI prospects, the stock price gains remained within the forecast range.This quarter’s earnings reports may exhibit a similar pattern across the board: Q2 significantly overdraws full-year expectations, leading to high openings followed by sell-offs after the disclosure.It is worth paying attention to data center-related stocks. TSMC management indica

Some investors aim to hold a stock for years — or even decades — but not every company deserves that level of commitment.👉 What kind of stock is truly worth a long-term, heavy position?One commonly used method is the PEG + PE approach, which helps assess both valuation and growth potential.PE (Price-to-Earnings) shows how expensive the stock is right now.PEG = PE ÷ Profit Growth Rate (%) helps judge if the price is fair based on how fast the company is growing.📊 PEG < 1 suggests the stock may be undervalued.📊 PEG > 1 could mean it’s priced too high for its growth rate.Example:PE 20 with 40% profit growth → PEG = 0.5 (potentially undervalued)PE 50 with 30% growth → PEG = 1.67 (potentially overvalued)This method encourages looking for companies with strong, steady growth at reasonable
