It’s not just white South Africans facing discrimination.

Black South Africans are increasingly turning against black migrants from other African countries.

In township “board meetings,” locals are confronting shop owners who are often Chinese, Indian, Pakistani, or other non-African migrants, and demanding they fire their non-South African Black workers and replace them with black locals.

Compounding the intimidation is collective punishment: if even a few owners refuse to comply, the entire group of shopkeepers faces repercussions.

This is happening in a country that now has more race-based laws on the books than it did at the height of apartheid.

The semiconductor sector is taking over the market:

Semiconductor stocks now represent a record 16.1% of the S&P 500's market cap.

The percentage has TRIPLED since the 2022 bear market.

This is also now 11 percentage points above the 2000 Dot-Com Bubble peak.

By comparison, defensive sectors, including energy, healthcare, staples, and utilities, make up 19.2% of the S&P 500 index.

This is 4 percentage points below the previous low of 23.0%, set in 1999.

At this pace, the weight of the semiconductor sector will surpass that of defensive sectors by as early as next year.

Semiconductor stocks are reshaping the investing landscape.
