When will the selling stop? High beta stocks are getting hit the hardest as investors pull out of the stock market to turn to bonds with higher yields amidst a relatively unstable equities market and expectations for yet another interest hike soon.

U.S. stocks edged modestly higher pre-market Friday (SPX +0.1%, NDX +0.4%) as tech partially recovered from Thursday’s AI-spending rout, the Nasdaq’s worst day since June. Brent crude rose 0.9% to $114/bbl and the 10-year Treasury yield ticked up to 4.97%.

Good to see yields dropping, but.. people are still expecting military actions. Midterms is also coming soon, uncertain on what Trump is going to do next

The market reaction highlights the distinction between beating current expectations and demonstrating the ability to sustain future growth. For investors, the key questions are how quickly supply bottlenecks can ease, whether pricing power can offset cost pressures, and whether elevated AI-related semiconductor spending translates into stronger cash flow. Until visibility improves, strong results alone may not support higher share prices, particularly if valuations already reflect substantial growth expectations.

A key lesson is that evergreens are evergreens. A timeless advice is to hedge with bonds. Even when investors were shorting bonds, good to keep a balanced portfolio. Now, with chip stocks crumbling, investors have fled for safety ie Treasuries, leading to a rally

AI risk seems to increase, or at least investors require real return…
