📉 SPX Down 5 Days: Is This the Market’s “Tell”? Tigers, the S&P 500 (.SPX) hasn’t stumbled like this all year — five straight red days, volatility waking up, and traders suddenly asking the question nobody likes: did we just see the top? --- 🚨 Why This Retreat Feels Different Breadth is narrowing → fewer stocks are holding the index up. VIX spike → volatility is climbing off historic lows, a signal that hedging is back. Macro overhang → yields and Fed signals are putting pressure on risk assets. This isn’t just about five red candles. It’s about whether the market’s momentum engine is losing fuel. --- 🧠 The Psychology of Selling Tops > “Buying makes you money. Selling defines whether you keep it.” The hardest skill isn’t finding winners — it’s deciding when the party is over. Some t

When I look at $Zoom(ZM)$ today, I can’t help but reflect on how far the company has come since its pandemic-era highs. The stock, which once symbolized the stay-at-home economy, has spent the past few years battling investor skepticism about whether its growth could endure in a post-COVID world. But as of now, I find myself viewing Zoom with fresh interest. The company has transitioned from being a single-product video conferencing app into a broader enterprise communications platform, and that shift is finally starting to show results. Zoom’s latest earnings report reinforced this impression for me. Revenue in Q2 fiscal 2026 grew modestly, but what caught my eye was the improvement in operating efficiency. The company has maintained solid profitab
