When I saw President Trump’s comments this week about the market “going very well,” I couldn’t help but shake my head.
Either he’s not looking at the same market data I am — or he’s just trying to jawbone investors into feeling better after the biggest single-day sell-off we’ve seen since COVID.
Look, I’m not here to throw shade on optimism or the president. But the market doesn’t care about speeches or slogans. It cares about earnings, consumer behavior and whether the data actually supports higher prices.
Right now, it doesn’t.
We spent the last several years climbing the wall of worry. Now, we have a president telling everyone the economy is booming and the markets are going to boom, too.
That’s a dangerous switch. When everybody’s worried — that’s healthy. When everybody’s greedy and complacent — that’s when you need to worry.
What Investors Should Actually Watch
Instead of listening to soundbites, smart investors need to focus on real indicators. Sentiment readings are some of the worst we’ve seen in a year. The AAII Sentiment Survey just hit a fresh one-year high for bearishness.
The put-call ratio is also climbing again, showing more traders are betting on downside moves.
Those are the kinds of signals that can’t be ignored. They tell the truth about what investors really think — not what people say on TV.
We’re also heading into a critical stretch for earnings. If forward guidance starts slipping — and companies in key sectors like Technology (XLK), Financials (XLF) and Consumer Discretionary (XLY) start warning about tariffs and slowing growth — that’s going to hit the tape hard.
The market hasn’t priced that in yet.
Reality Check
Bottom line — you can’t jawbone this market into stability. Tariffs, earnings revisions and sentiment extremes don’t just magically disappear because someone says it’s “going very well.”
Smart investors are paying attention to the data, not the speeches. They’re hedging where it makes sense, staying nimble and not falling for the “booming economy” narrative without any real proof to back it up.
Stay sharp out there. Cool heads will prevail — but only if you’re looking at the right signals.
I’ll see you in the markets.
