The Hidden Upside of a Crash

Volatility brings pain, but also a map to what matters next.

Volatility feels like chaos.

Your portfolio bleeds, your confidence gets shaken, and suddenly the cash sitting idle doesn’t feel like a mistake anymore—it feels like relief.

But here's the hard truth:

Opportunity always hides where it’s most uncomfortable to look.

And that’s the trick, isn’t it? Finding them—not when it feels good, but when it feels like hell.

I spend a lot of time with charts. Not because I worship them, but because they help me listen. They whisper where we are in the cycle. And lately, they’ve been loud:

• Gold vs S&P 500

• Nasdaq 100 vs Small Caps

These aren’t just price lines. They’re stories about leadership, rotation, and what's quietly changing under the surface.

For most of this year, I’ve been saying:

Be cautious investing in the U.S. — but stay exposed to strength where it still exists.

And now?

• There are no S&P sectors showing absolute strength anymore.

• Every single one is below key moving averages.
