Why the Market Refuses to Die
What if every bearish signal you've learned to trust over the past decade has been broken on purpose? Because that's exactly what the S&P chart is telling me.
In this clip, I explain why the market keeps ripping to all-time highs during an active war, why every dip since April 2025 has been bought within 48 hours, and where I think all this capital is actually coming from.
Here's what's covered:
00:00 — The S&P chart that makes no sense
01:20 — Every dip since April 2025 bought in 48 hours
02:45 — The leftover stimulus thesis: why inflation is still repricing assets
04:10 — Musical chairs: the game keeps playing until the music stops
05:30 — Is this an AI bubble or 1996 of the internet?
The framing that finally clicked: stimulus never got absorbed. It's still working its way through every asset class in real time.

The "bought within 48 hours" pattern you're describing has a structural explanation that most retail analysis misses.
Passive index funds now represent roughly 50% of US equity AUM. When the S&P dips, automatic rebalancing triggers — pension funds, target-date funds, sovereign wealth mandates — all have to buy equities when equities fall relative to bonds. The dip-buying isn't sentiment, it's mechanical.
The war/crisis premium got priced out of equities in 2022-2023 and never came back. Markets decided geopolitical risk is either unresolvable (so don't price it) or manageable (so don't price it). Either way, the result is the same: stonks only go up until something breaks the mechanical bid.
Where the capital is actually going: a quiet rotation into hard assets with cash-flow. That's crypto with real yield, commodities, and infrastructure. The S&P chart looks strong at the top level, but the internals show capital concentrating away from pure multiple-expansion stories.
