    Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/4yvcd4b David Bahnsen reviews a modest down day for markets as Iran tensions and reported American casualties push oil above $80 (ending above $83), with the Dow down ~300, S&P -19 bps, Nasdaq -5 bps, and the 10-year yield at 4.59%; communication services and energy led while healthcare lagged. He cites IPO froth cooling, noting SpaceX below $120 versus a $135 IPO and far off highs. In politics, he highlights Maine’s Senate race likely featuring progressive Troy Jackson versus Susan Collins and notes Michigan Democrats consolidating behind Haley Stevens, outlining the difficult map for a Democratic Senate majority. Economically, he underscores the Supreme Court reversal of IEEPA tariffs lowering blended import tariffs from ~11% to ~6–6.5%, while flagging a record 105.8M outside the labor force, soft industrial production, rising import prices, and housing starts driven by multifamily. He previews next week’s Fed meeting under Chair Kevin Warsh, balance-sheet maturity shortening, midstream earnings (Kinder Morgan), and answers why shorting stocks is inherently leveraged and generally unsuitable for most investors. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:17 Iran Tensions and Oil 01:24 Market Wrap and Sectors 02:17 IPO Froth Check 03:13 Senate Races Outlook 05:39 Economy Data and Tariffs 07:43 Housing and Fed Preview 09:08 Energy Earnings and Gas 10:01 Ask TBG Short Selling 12:00 Wrap Up and Links Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

    Five Things I Worry About and Five Things I Don’t

    Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/4fhExhw From the Newport Beach studio ,David outlines five market concerns and five items he is not worried about. His worries are: extreme S&P 500 concentration (top 10 near 39% and semiconductors rising to ~20% weight), speculative retail behavior (surging ETF inflows, levered ETF growth, and elevated options/0DTE activity), a “right pocket vs left pocket” dynamic where hyperscaler AI spending transfers free cash flow to semiconductor/data-center suppliers, an S&P earnings narrative he sees as circular and priced to perfection with margin risks, and counterparty risk tied to OpenAI—especially the possibility of government “nationalizing” AI. Not worried: imminent AI job destruction (headcount rising at AI adopters), volatility, the politicized inflation narrative, near-term energy price swings, or “software is dead,” arguing AI creates winners and losers requiring due diligence; he closes noting long-term concern over government debt and preference for dividend growth. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 01:10 Market Concentration Risk 04:36 ETF and Options Frenzy 08:52 AI Capex Winners and Losers 10:46 S&P Earnings and Margins 13:25 OpenAI Counterparty Risk 16:43 AI Jobs Fears Debunked 19:15 Why Volatility Helps 20:17 Inflation Narrative Nuance 23:39 Energy Beyond ESG 25:26 Software Valuations Reset 27:03 Recap and Big Picture Close Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

    Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/4bF0WEu The Monday Dividend Cafe recaps a volatile market day that resembled prior Iran-tension selloffs: oil surged nearly 10%, energy rose over 3%, tech fell over 2%, semiconductors dropped about 4.77%, the Nasdaq fell over 1.5%, the S&P 500 was down 80 bps, and the Dow slipped 138 points, while the 10-year yield rose 6 bps to 4.63%. The host discusses an apparent market leadership rotation (equal-weight beating cap-weight, small cap beating large cap, value beating growth) alongside the paradox of momentum being the top year-to-date factor because “momentum” has shifted to new leaders. He adds new “More to Chew On” links to the written Dividend Cafe and previews a Friday piece on five market concerns and five non-concerns. Key news includes the reported death of Senator Lindsey Graham and escalating US-Iran strikes with renewed Strait of Hormuz closure and US blockade claims. He notes June existing home sales fell 2.4%, contrasts mortgage rates and home prices versus 10 years ago, summarizes new Fed task forces, and highlights differing views on rate hikes with futures implying a 90% chance of at least one hike by year-end. 00:00 Market Open Recap 01:11 New Links Section 02:20 Friday Feedback 02:52 Rotation Versus Momentum 05:45 Rates Oil And Sectors 06:09 IPO Mania Warning 07:35 Headlines And Iran 09:00 Housing And Fed Outlook 10:57 Wrap Up And Friday Preview Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com
