We now have more s p 500 components that are up on the year than down on the year for the First Time Since march i think alphabet is the most recent performer but the faangs are not part of this the whole narrative out of the window that this is index fund money and only microsoft driving this is gone now you have a broadbased rally, not based on nonsense, companies have rising earnings expectations, almost every sector weve even got performance at companies that six months ago you could have made a case to
