Ignore the noise:

We’ve reached the stage where “the top is in” has become the consensus view.

These are classic indicators of a technical correction within a broader uptrend.

Zoom out and take advantage of periods of emotional weakness in price.

The fundamentals remain solid for asset holders.

Small Businesses Are Being Left Behind

The net percentage of small business owners who reported higher nominal sales over the past three months declined by 6 percentage points in October, reaching -13%—the lowest level since January.

This indicates that the majority of small firms in the NFIB Small Business Survey experienced lower sales.

It also represents the 41st consecutive negative monthly reading for this metric.

Historically, this indicator has led the nominal year-over-year change in GDP growth.

These trends suggest a marked slowdown in economic activity and reduced hiring in the near term.

According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, small businesses employ 45.9% of American workers and account for 43.5% of GDP.

U.S. small firms are struggling.

Own assets or be left behind:

US consumer sentiment among non-stockholders has fallen to its lowest level since the University of Michigan began tracking it in 1998.

This reflects a ~10 point decline over the last several months.

During the same period, sentiment among the biggest stockholders has risen ~10 points, to near the highest level this year.

As a result, the gap between the largest stockholders and non-stockholders has widened to ~20 points, the highest since late 2024.

This comes as concerns about the job market are at their highest since the 1980s, while the S&P 500 trades near all-time highs.

The stock market boom is leaving Main Street behind.

Professional investors are increasingly acting as dip buyers:

Institutional investors purchased US equities in 60% of S&P 500 declines of at least -1% this year.

This is the first time since 2019 that institutional investors' percentage has surpassed 50 points.

Institutional investors have been dip buyers in only 5 out of the last 18 years.

By comparison, retail investors bought the dip every week this year after the S&P 500 declined over -1%.

This marks the 6th consecutive year with their percentage above 50.

Hedge funds, in turn, have not exceeded this mark since 2019.

Is Wall Street catching up to Main Street?

China’s housing slump is deepening:

New-home prices across China’s 70 major cities fell -0.45% MoM in October, marking the sharpest decline in a year.

Resale home prices dropped -0.66% MoM, the biggest fall in 13 months.

Every one of the 70 surveyed cities saw declines in both new and resale prices, underscoring widespread weakness across the entire market.

China’s property downturn has now continued for more than 4 years.

A China Index Academy survey covering over 260 cities found that home-buying confidence in smaller cities fell -2.9 percentage points MoM.

China’s real estate crisis still shows no sign of recovery.

The number of US-listed companies is falling sharply:

The total count of US-listed domestic companies has slipped below 4,000 this year, the lowest level since 2020.

Since 2022, that number has dropped by -1,800, or -31%.

If this pace continues, the number of publicly listed companies could reach a record low as soon as next year.

For context, roughly 6,500 firms were trading at the start of the century.

At the same time, cumulative corporate buybacks have totaled a massive $12.7 trillion since 1998.

Big stocks will continue to grow even bigger.

US grocery prices are at their highest levels ever:

The average monthly grocery bill for a family of four has climbed to a record $1,030.

In yearly terms, a family of four now spends more than $12,360 on groceries, compared to $9,000 in 2017.

This is an affordability crisis.

US private fixed investment in information processing equipment and software as a share of GDP climbed to 4.4% in Q2 2025, the second-highest level on record.

This is just below the 4.5% reached in Q4 2000, right before the 2001 recession began.

That represents a +$502 BILLION increase, or +59%, since 2020.

Investment in information processing equipment and software has DOUBLED over the past decade.

America’s AI investment boom is historic.

Bitcoin’s correlation with U.S. technology stocks is now near its peak:

The 30-day correlation between Bitcoin and the Nasdaq 100 Index has reached about ~0.80, the highest level since 2022.

It’s also the second-highest reading in the past 10 years.

Correlation has stayed positive over the last five years, aside from brief dips in 2023.

Because of this, Bitcoin’s 5-year correlation with the Nasdaq index has climbed to 0.54.

By contrast, Bitcoin’s correlation with cash and gold has been effectively zero.

Bitcoin is increasingly trading like a leveraged tech stock.
