Narrations of a Sector ETF Operator | Weekly Market Letter, June 23, 2024 I want to talk about time this week. Yes, the ubiquitous kind on which all our lives flow, but also of course the discrete kind, like the humble trading day, or the even more humble day. Depending on perspective and position, time

Cross currents have popped back up almost immediately to keep inflation expectations on the table and to put investors in the mood to position for recession, or at least something different than the Mag7. As a result we’ve seen some rotation into the Utes and into some of the more Value and pro-cyclical oriented sectors of the equity market
