It was a good first half of the year for the stock market averages, but upon further review it was somewhat muted for stocks in general. There were a handful of stocks led by the likes of Apple, Amazon, Meta, Tesla, Google and Nvidia that because they represent such a large percentage of the indexes, sent market averages like the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq soaring higher. It was more like the S&P 10 were up extensively while the remaining S&P 490 were basically flat. We’ve seen this distortion more than once over the past decade and a half and it can last for a while. But for markets to have a good second half of the year it would be nice to see a broadening of participation. Time will tell. Stay tuned. MONTHLY COMMENTARY
