Active Investing Edge

By Geoff Bysshe

Video Summary:

This session centers on the shift in market narrative following the latest employment data, which effectively acted as the "nail in the coffin" for expectations of Fed easing in 2026. Geoff analyzes why the market is now pricing in rate hikes rather than cuts, and how this is creating a period of sustained pressure on high-flying tech leaders. A primary focus for Geoff is the "IPO Supply Trap," where the anticipation of massive offerings from SpaceX and Anthropic is draining liquidity as fund managers raise capital, potentially leading to a multi-week consolidation. Tactically, Geoff looks at the RSP (Equal Weight S&P) as the primary litmus test for market health and identifies Apple as an emerging "safety tech" play that the market may hide in while semiconductors take a much-needed rest.
