US stocks ended mixed with Dow at a record as investors rotated out of tech and chips into cyclicals amid a US‑Iran peace deal driven oil drop ahead of the Fed’s first Warsh meeting Wed.

I am planning to upgrade my Audio setup, mainly on the recording and editing suite. But how would you rate the sound quality vs studio quality podcasts so far?

Things I plan to smooth out are reverb, any room hum or background noise, and plosives you may hear with “P” and “B” words.

Before Saturday, the last times the Knicks won the NBA Championship were before I was born, 1970 and 1973.

Between 1969 and 1974, the U.S. stock market went through a highly volatile, grueling period that ultimately culminated in one of the worst market crashes and bear markets in history. Let’s go Knicks!

The Slump and Early Recovery (1969–1972)

• 1969–1970: The period started on a weak note. Rising inflation, driven by spending on the Vietnam War and domestic programs, prompted the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates. This triggered a recession and a minor bear market. The S&P 500 fell roughly 11% in 1969, and stayed flat in 1970.

• 1971–1972: The market experienced a strong rebound. Investors piled heavily into a group of 50 popular, fast-growing large-cap stocks known as the “Nifty Fifty” (including companies like Disney, Xerox, and IBM). Because everyone thought these stocks were “bulletproof,” their valuations soared to incredibly risky heights. The S&P 500 jumped over 15% in 1972.

2. The Great Crash (1973–1974)

By January 1973, the market peaked and the bubble burst. What followed was a brutal, 694-day bear market.

• The S&P 500 annual returns tell the story: * 1973: -17.37%

• Overall, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost over 45% of its value, while the broader S&P 500 plunged more than 40%. It wiped out roughly $525 billion in investor wealth, making it the worst economic downturn for stocks since the Great Depression of the 1930s.

• The “Nifty Fifty” Collapse: As the economy cratered, institutional investors realized the “Nifty Fifty” stocks were wildly overvalued. These glamour stocks completely collapsed, dragging the entire market down with them.

• Political Instability: The ongoing Watergate scandal and the eventual resignation of President Richard Nixon in August 1974 severely damaged consumer and investor confidence.

And Ivanka Trump/Kushner building a 1,400 hectare resort in Albania. You are definitely NOT invited.

I digress.

Let’s take a longer term view of the market priced in Gold.

A chart of the S&P 500 divided by gold shows how many ounces of gold it takes to buy the S&P 500. Since 1999, this ratio has moved in large cycles. Let’s also look at it since the 50s…

Very strange. Oil, yields and stocks all falling together. My guess ...inflation data leaked and it will confirm inflation is still raging. Thus assumes rate hikes. Both destroy demand and consumption. Just a guess.

P&F chart of Bitcoin above. This is produced by hard selling. It could hold $60k and fight back as it is overnight currently at $63,300. But if it truly loses $60k we could be on way to 3 handle.

As for SPY 695 is the line in sand for your oh crap signal

$SPCX “At roughly $1.8 trillion, this one company is about half the total value of the entire S&P MidCap 400. On the figures at the end of January, it was larger than the whole S&P SmallCap 600. One founder-controlled company, set against four hundred or six hundred others. Keep that in mind. The slice being sold to you is tiny.

I have watched many IPOs cross the tape over six decades. I cannot recall one where the public’s picture of the business was this far behind the facts.

SpaceX lists on the Nasdaq on June 12. The ticker is SPCX. Most readers still picture a reusable-rocket pioneer. That picture is out of date. The gap between the picture and the reality is the most valuable thing you can understand before this prices.

Three facts have hardened from rumor into reality. Start with these…”

Stock Market reaches most expensive valuation in history, surpassing the Dot Com Bubble and the run-up to the Great Depression.

• S&P 500 closes at a record to kick off June trading as tech rally overpowers oil spike

• Alphabet plans to raise $80 billion from stock sales to fund AI buildout

• HPE skyrockets 30% on biggest earnings beat since 2018

• Sells Bitcoin to raise 2.5m. Seems odd. Does he need a new house?

S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed at record highs on softer‑than‑feared PCE details and easing Iran-related oil tensions, with AI-focused tech leading gains.

• Early oil strength tied to US‑Iran tensions and Strait of Hormuz risks faded after reports of a US‑Iran agreement to extend a 60‑day ceasefire, pending President Trump’s approval, leading crude (@CL) to pare gains and supporting risk appetite

• Technology outperformed on AI momentum, with Snowflake (SNOW) jumping after strong earnings, raised guidance, and a $6 billion multiyear AWS compute partnership to support AI workloads

• Dell Technologies climbed into the close and then extended gains after reporting an AI-driven earnings beat, with EPS of $4.86 versus roughly $3.00 expected, finishing near record highs

  

  
  

• Consumer discretionary, consumer staples, and communication services sectors outperformed alongside broad small-cap tech participation and earlier strength in drone-related names on potential funding signals

• Energy stocks lagged as the pullback in oil prices following the ceasefire headlines weighed on the sector
