July 25, 2025 • 10 mins
We've been seeing a powerful market rally since April—a classic V-bottom recovery that unfolded without Fed intervention and defied the doom-and-gloom predictions of many so-called experts. I explain why our team at Oak Harvest Financial Group saw this coming, why we're still bullish long term, and why now might be the perfect time to take a breath and reassess your investment plan—not chase returns.

I’ll share what history tells us about July’s bullish tendencies, why the current market resembles late 1998 more than peak Dot-com, and what you can expect in the weeks ahead. But before you get swept up in the optimism, I’ll explain...

June 13, 2025 • 9 mins
In this quick, data‑packed update, I walk you through why our team called the April 7 market bottom in real time, how the ensuing “V‑bottom” has already delivered a 1,000‑point surge, and most importantly, what history says usually follows moves like these.

The April 7th low marked a major turning point for the stock market and today we talk about how history, technical signals, and market breadth indicators support a bullish outlook going forward.

V-Bottoms: No One Get's In, Bears left Behind

May 16, 2025 • 7 mins
There was a sharp market rally that followed the early April lows—what many are calling a “V-bottom”—and most investors missed the rebound. Today let's talk about how real-time market data, not media narratives, pointed to improving conditions well before the news of tariff reductions between the U.S. and China hit. I also compare today’s market setup to the mid-1998 Dot-Com period, not the bubble peak, highlighting what historical...

May 2, 2025 • 11 mins
Despite all the recent market turmoil, our team at OHFG believes April 7th will be likely marked the low—not just a low—for the S&P 500, and why historical signals like the rare Zweig Breadth Thrust are flashing strong bullish signs for the next 6–12 months. I break down the data behind these signals, explain why panicking now is often a mistake for long-term investors, and share who you should and shouldn’t be listening to whe...

Market Correction or Bear Market? This Could Change How You See Aprils Drop

April 25, 2025 • 11 mins
Let's cut to the chase about the recent volatility in the markets and what it could mean for long-term investors. You’ll hear my take on whether April 7th marked a low or the low for the S&P 500, why I believe now may actually be a time to consider buying rather than retreating, and why the much-feared "Death Cross" may be more of a lagging indicator than a useful signal. I also compare today’s market drop to similar periods in...

Sometimes: You Gotta Close Your Eyes and Buy (or Laugh)

Real Interest Rates vs. Stocks: A Dangerous Shift?

Walk with me through charts comparing the S&P 500 with 5-year real rates from the post-2008 QE era to today, highlighting how market reactions to these rates have shifted dramatically over time.

In this week’s video, we’re diving back into the charts and data to analyze the recent -10%+ decline in the S&P 500 and what history tells us about similar market drops.
