Factually: (a) The S&Ps remain in a healthy uptrend, but the equal-weighted S&Ps (SPXEW) have seen a major correction.  (b) The key driver of the equal-weighted S&P pain is rising rates.  (c) The Risk Premium surrounding equities has fallen to generational lows.  And (d) Small Caps are seeing heavily crowded shorts - potentially delivering a short squeeze as a Q4 outcome. Overall, per Callum Thomas: The overarching trend remains up for stocks, but rising rates have inflicted severe pain on rate sensitive sectors. Continue to monitor downside risks for stocks as the cycle progresses, but also upside risk in small caps + other sectors. I still believe that global  commodity equities are the place-to-be right now.  My top picks include a Uranium company (UUUU) and Ivanhoe Electric (IE) because of their new copper mining project.  Please feel free to read the rest of the blog post:  #investing #stocks #bonds #options
