Broad market stocks lead a new bull market

The guest argued that a 'bull within a bowl' is occurring, where a corrective phase in over-owned 'new era' mega-cap growth stocks is being successfully offset by a new bull market in under-owned, better-valued 'broad market' stocks.

The argument

The guest pointed out that while the Magnificent Seven and technology sectors have struggled and become mere market performers over the past year, the S&P 500 remains within 5% of its all-time high.
