Afternoon Note
Major indices have been fluctuating near their baselines today, but mostly remain in green territory. This comes as investors await comments from the FOMC meeting at 2 PM EST.

Mega cap names are mostly moving lower and contributing to the Nasdaq and S&P 500’s underperformance.

Eight sectors are moving higher, with Industrials (XLI) in the lead. The best name in the sector is GE Vernona (GEV), which we are currently holding in our model portfolio, after the company raised its guidance and dividend. On the flip side, Technology (XLK) is the laggard and further contributing to Nasdaq’s underperformance, as the index is more tech heavy.

Notably, the ten year treasury yield (TNX) is making a move lower ahead of the FOMC meeting.

After the close yesterday, Bloomberg reported that SpaceX is moving forward with an IPO targeting mid-late 2026, an estimated $30B fund raise, and a valuation of $1.5T. This would be the largest IPO raise in history and preparing the ground for the so-called “Centicorns”.

| Charles, Trump needs to help working Americans. Affordability is definitely an issue. How about ( for earners of $100000 oe less) 1 Temp cap on credit card interest of 10% 2. Instead of $2000 checks for everybody, a bonus for first time home buyers, say 50% of 10 % down payment 3. Make home loan interest a tax credit rather than a tax deduction 4. Auto interest should be made rax deductible 5. Yes government should help with student loans. Many should not have borrowed, but why trap them in debt for a lifetime. Every one deserves a second chance Pat on 12/10/2025 2:50:33 PM |
