Michael Tyler“after the midterms markets should be a lot stronger. His historically I mean, you basically go straight up after the midterms. You you you go up into the right for almost a year historically until like midsummer of 2027.”@ 10:35 · open at this moment on YouTube ↗
Thesis at the time
MixedMarkets are vulnerable near-term — priced-in Iran peace and an aggressive rally set up a sell-the-news reaction, compounded by typical midterm-election-year summer weakness. Post-midterms, the historical pattern is a straight-up rally for almost a year (through mid-2027). Advise: take profits on low-conviction positions now; identify high-conviction names and buy before midterms. Tech, semiconductors, software, consumer cyclicals and financials are his sector picks.
Key arguments
- Markets have rallied aggressively on Iran-ceasefire optimism; once the deal is signed, expect sell-the-news
- Midterm election years historically chop through summer before rallying
- Post-midterms historically 'go straight up' for almost a year until mid-2027
- Tech/semis/software at all-time-high index levels are still 20%+ off individual highs — room to run
- Consumer cyclicals and financials should benefit from a reaccelerating economy
Counter-arguments acknowledged
- Hyperscaler CAPEX guidance next week could break the tech outperformance thesis
- Private credit risk is hard to read — 'very opaque'
- Not a guarantee that April strength → summer weakness plays out
Hedges and caveats (from the video)
- Not 'super bearish' — just flagging midterm-year seasonal risk
- Private credit call is less confident: 'very opaque'
- Hyperscaler CAPEX guidance next week could derail the tech outperformance thesis

Confidence Reasoning
Rests on historical pattern rather than speculative catalysts; specific end-date reference ('midsummer of 2027') and strong language ('straight up', 'up into the right for almost a year').
