what's hotWhat’s Hot

  • A handful of technology stocks drove 9 of the hot funds
  • The top funds from L&G matched the approximate average annual gain from the US stock market in one month, 10%.
  • The single most important stock, Nvidia, now has a value greater than that of the UK, German, and French stock markets combined…
  • …this is a classic bubble and investor mania.

 

What’s Not

  • Europe has suffered in the wake of EU elections, as voters in key countries swung to extremes of the political spectrum…
  • …France in particular has given back decent gains made earlier in 2024.  This drama is not yet over.
  • Gold has come under a bit of pressure, but the longer dated uptrend is intact…
  • …and gold mining shares have not been cheaper for a few decades.
  • One UK fund from Fidelity is a bit anomalous.  It might be an opportunity.
