    Wednesday - July 15, 2026

    On Wednesday, July 15, Brian Szytel reports modest market gains (Dow +150, S&P 500 +0.4%, Nasdaq +0.6%) amid a positive early Q2 earnings tone, though Middle East tensions temper sentiment and momentum tech (semis and software) has been pressured. He highlights notable strength in financials, citing rising lending, M&A, and capital markets activity, with investment banking up about 30%, capital markets up over 15%, and financial earnings up over 6%, viewing this as a forward-looking sign of economic confidence. The day’s key news was a second straight cooler-than-expected inflation report: PPI fell 0.3% vs flat expected and core rose 0.2% vs 0.4% expected, implying a favorable PCE read. He discusses potential market impacts if Strait of Hormuz disruption persisted (higher oil, inflation, rates; pressure on long-duration assets; benefits to U.S. production), while noting futures imply ~$75 oil in a year, and adds a strong Empire State manufacturing print (15.6 vs 8.4 expected). 00:00 Market Close Recap 00:23 Earnings Season Pulse 01:00 Financials Lead Strength 02:26 Cooler Inflation Data 03:40 Hormuz Risk Scenario 05:15 Futures Reality Check 05:28 Manufacturing Beat Wrap 05:57 Final Sign Off Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

    Tuesday - July 14, 2026

    Brian Szytel recaps a mixed but positive market day with the Dow up about 45 points, the S&P 500 up 0.4%, and the Nasdaq up just under 1%, helped by a broad financial-sector rally despite somewhat mixed large-bank earnings. Oil rose with increased Middle East tensions and volatility around the Strait of Hormuz. The main story was a better-than-expected CPI report: headline CPI fell 0.4% versus expectations for -0.1%, and core CPI was essentially flat (-0.02%) versus a forecast of +0.2%, bringing year-over-year core to 2.6% and pushing the 10-year yield down about 3 bps to 4.58%, with Fed futures repricing to lower odds of hikes. He notes one print isn’t a trend, highlights a stronger NFIB Small Business Optimism Index, and explains why deflation is worse than modest inflation, citing Japan’s long period of minimal growth. 00:00 Market Wrap and Earnings 00:45 Oil Jitters Middle East 01:01 CPI Surprise and Rates 02:39 Fed Talk and Futures 04:12 Small Business Optimism 04:26 Inflation Versus Deflation 05:35 Japanification Case Study 06:34 Wrap Up and Sign Off 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

    Good Enough for a 19-Year-Old?

    Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/4yeyV0d David Bahnsen uses the idea of asking 19-year-olds what’s popular to critique a growing tendency among investors to allocate capital based on youth trends and “shiny objects” rather than fundamentals. He distinguishes learning about generational preferences from turning those preferences into portfolio decisions, arguing this misreads Peter Lynch’s “invest in what you know,” which requires deeper research beyond familiarity. Bahnsen cites examples where popularity failed as an investment signal—Forever 21’s boom and bankruptcy, Gap’s long-term stock decline, Snapchat’s extreme volatility despite rising users, and Krispy Kreme’s post-IPO collapse—showing that what seems popular is often already priced in. He warns against adopting crypto, Bitcoin, AI-adjacent trades, IPO mania, or meme-stock themes merely to match what younger clients want, emphasizing fiduciary duty, cash flow, intrinsic value, and the idea that fads can be a counter-signal. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 02:01 Why Youth Trends Matter 02:39 Tech Habits vs Investing 06:41 Peter Lynch Misread 09:28 Retail Fads Fail Fast 12:15 Snapchat Popularity Trap 13:34 Krispy Kreme Lesson 16:02 Crypto and AI Pressure 19:33 Shiny Object Investing 21:37 Fiduciary Depth and Close Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

    Thursday - July 9, 2026

    In this midweek Dividend Cafe (Thursday, July 9), Brian Szytel notes a mixed recovery in markets amid renewed volatility tied to Middle East tensions, while oil prices pulled back slightly and interest rates were flat to slightly lower. Economic updates included initial jobless claims coming in a bit better than expected, suggesting steady, healthy employment, and weaker existing home sales (down 3.4% to 4.09 million), reflecting affordability pressures from high rates and a stuck housing market, with modest price declines seen as healthy clearing. He reviews June FOMC minutes showing a divided committee, some discussion of potential hikes, continued attention to AI demand, geopolitical risks, tariffs as a GDP drag, and higher inflation projections for 2026–2027, with expectations split between hikes and no change. He also explains that business cycles persist due to real-economy lags in capital, credit, inventories, labor, and policy transmission. 00:00 Market Recap Volatility 00:46 Jobs And Housing Data 01:32 Housing Affordability Reset 02:37 Fed Minutes Takeaways 03:54 Dot Plot And Guidance 05:05 Why Business Cycles Persist 06:53 Wrap Up And Q&A Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

    Wednesday - July 8, 2026

    Brian Szytel hosts Dividend Cafe on Wednesday, July 8, discussing increased volatility tied to escalating US-Iran tensions after Iran struck oil tankers and the US retaliated against multiple military targets, with oil up about 5% and markets modestly lower but without a clear flight to safety (dollar slightly up, yields up ~3 bps, gold and silver down). He notes rotation dynamics and highlights sector breadth: pharma, household products, and utilities show 100% of stocks above their 50-day moving averages, versus tech, semis, and autos below 40%. Economically, wholesale inventories rose 0.1% versus 0.3% expected, while wholesale sales jumped 3.4%, pushing the inventory-to-sales ratio to its lowest since 2012. He addresses Scott Bessent’s tariff “success” claim, citing tariff revenues annualizing to about $290B versus $500B–$1T estimates, some net-positive trade deals (Japan, South Korea), little change in the trade deficit, slight GDP drag on consumers, and offsets from fiscal measures and AI-related CapEx expensing. 00:00 Market Volatility Update 00:36 Oil Moves and Safe Havens 01:11 Sector Rotation Signals 01:41 Wholesale Data Snapshot 02:10 Tariffs Success Question 03:09 Trade Deals and Deficit 04:04 Wrap Up and Tomorrow Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

    Tuesday - July 7, 2026

    Brian Szytel recaps a quiet Tuesday, July 7, with markets closing modestly lower amid increased U.S.–Iran tensions involving tanker attacks and restrictions on Iran’s oil exports; crude rose about 3% to roughly $70.56 while gold dipped. Tech led the decline as semiconductors sold off, with the S&P 500 down ~0.5%, the Dow ~0.4%, and the Nasdaq down a little over 1%. Economic news was limited, but May’s U.S. trade deficit widened to $77B, about $20B more than the prior month. Despite the pullback, major indices are up around 10% year-to-date, reflecting a rotation from concentrated chip leaders (some down ~30% in 10 days) into defensives and broader participation. The 10-year yield rose ~7 bps to 4.55%. He also addresses concerns about Q1 profits boosted by mark-to-market gains on non-listed AI holdings, calling it non-recurring and two-sided. 00:00 Market Wrap Intro 00:11 Geopolitics Oil Moves 00:43 Tech Rotation Selloff 01:09 Trade Deficit Update 01:32 Year To Date Perspective 02:28 Rates And Macro Mix 02:39 Ask TBG Earnings Quirk 03:45 Closing Remarks Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

    Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/4bvLEBZ In the Monday Dividend Cafe, the host recaps a post–three-day weekend market rally with the Dow closing above 53,000 for the first time, the S&P 500 up 0.72%, and the Nasdaq up over 1%, while the 10-year Treasury remained around 4.47%. He notes TIP spreads show reduced inflation expectations even as longer yields imply stronger real growth, arguing the market can’t simultaneously justify Fed hikes on rising inflation expectations and claim the market is wrong as expectations fall; he also discusses futures pricing that still implies mostly one hike. He highlights market weakness as rotational rather than systemic, with communication services and tech leading and defensives lagging. Economic discussion includes disappointing June job growth and downward revisions alongside a lower unemployment rate driven by falling participation. He flags Florida housing supply, price cuts, and loss-making sales as signs prices were too high, contrasts with prolonged China home-price declines, and reviews steady oil, strong year-to-date midstream performance, and upcoming client reporting and geopolitical headlines. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:46 Market Open Recap 01:34 Rates and Inflation Signals 03:31 Will the Fed Hike 05:40 Rotation Not Rout 07:29 Economic Data Check 09:27 Florida Housing Warning 12:28 China Housing Contrast 13:02 Energy and Midstream Update 14:40 Week Ahead and Wrap Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com
