    FNGU has been the place to be. Unfortunately I sold a while ago.

    Big caps tied to AI

    Big caps tied to AI has been the driver - plain and simple 

    That's a VERY interesting chart.

    That's a VERY interesting chart.   On a sort of related note, Josh Brown on CNBC just went on a rant about the bubble currently forming and the upcoming IPO mania centered around anything remotely related to AI.  Interesting perspective. Might be worth looking up on CNBC dot com, if you missed it. 

    Liquidity

    One thing to note is that liquidity is projected to increase pretty soon this week and remain supportive for at least the next week.   My friend tracks this via Fed and Commercial Loan measures amongst other things - I'm not privy to his methods but worth mentioning.   Take it fwiw but I find it useful and rarely fade swing trades against while trading but have certainly done some trades if my triggers occur.   There can be wild swings while unfolding so please understand and not for the faint of heart in that regard.

    Assuming the debt ceiling is lifted, who is going to purchase nearly $1 Trillion in debt to restock the TGA this year with $500 Billion required  in the short term on top of $80 Billion of QT.  Finally, the student loan forbearance comes to and end soon and such borrowers must allocate funds to repay.  Take some time this weekend to ponder.

    Now THIS is interesting.  Determining whether you're fighting the fed or not comes down to the actual liquidity in the market....which isn't always easy to figure out. I've seen charts that overlaid Stimulus programs (TARP, QE1, QE2, etc, etc) with the S&P 500 and the correlation is something very close to 1.  *I'm referring to Steve's comment about upcoming liquidity from the Fed.
