SPY bullish call by Tom Nash

SPYBullunverifiable

“Imagine what happens when the money supply goes up as well, when the Fed actually starts dropping rates. It's going to only fuel this rally.”

Thesis at the time

Bullish

Tom argues that despite the S&P 500 being near all-time highs, objective data (forward P/E of 20, in line with the 10-year average; current bull run of 100% over 4 years vs. historical average of 265% over 5.5 years; broad earnings growth across 10 of 11 sectors) shows the market is not in a euphoric, bubble stage. He concludes the index is fairly priced and the rally has room to continue, especially if the Fed begins cutting rates.

Key arguments

Forward P/E of 20 matches the 10-year average, and current P/E of 25 is actually lower than last year's 28
87% of S&P 500 companies beat earnings, 11 points above the 10-year average, with earnings growth of 52% vs. 23% estimated
The current bull run (100% over 4 years) is below the historical average bull run of 265% over 5.5 years
10 of 11 S&P 500 sectors grew earnings and the equal-weight S&P 500 is up 16% YTD, showing broad-based strength
IPO activity (~150 projected for 2026) is far below the 460 IPOs seen in the 1999 dot-com euphoria

Counter-arguments acknowledged

Michael Burry has compared the current market to the dot-com era
Unemployment at 4% and CPI at 3.5% are 'not great' though still considered sustainable
