Something caught my eye recently, and it’s worth paying attention to…

The market’s playing a different game right now — and if you’re still glued to the Magnificent Seven, you’re probably feeling it.

Money’s rotating… hard…

Out of mega-cap tech and into a corner of the market that’s been sitting quiet for a while: Industrials (XLI).

The Mags Get Trashed, Industrials and Energy Light Up

I watched names like Caterpillar (CAT) and Boeing (BA) absolutely rip while all the usual suspects — your Magnificent Seven darlings — were getting hammered.

These industrial names weren’t just up a bit. They were in smoke mode.

But it didn’t stop with industrials. Energy names were catching bids too.

ConocoPhillips (COP) moved. Commercial Metals (CMC) pushed higher. Solar names lit up, with First Solar (FSLR) putting in a solid day and Plug Power (PLUG) — a stock I’ll still tell you isn’t exactly a real company — running hard enough to push my position up over 100%.

When the tape wants to move something, it moves.

Nucor (NUE) made new highs. Alcoa (AA) did the same. Solar across the board was green. This wasn’t a head fake — this was capital rotation in pure form.

Infrastructure Joins the Rotation

Energy’s part of the story but infrastructure deserves attention too. Telecom towers and data-heavy infrastructure should benefit from where capital is flowing, and names like American Tower (AMT) look well positioned as this rotation widens out.

When money leaves the biggest players, it doesn’t just vanish — it finds places with real utility and real pricing power.

And remember what month we’re in. January means Q4 2025 earnings are coming soon. These reports are going to matter, especially for sectors that have been ignored for years. Strong numbers from industrials or energy could add fuel to this shift while softer results from mega-cap tech could speed it up.

Also worth keeping on the radar: mid caps and select small caps.

There’s always growth to be found in that part of the market, even if it comes with a little more volatility. When capital starts rotating, those names can move faster than anything else — both up and down — which creates opportunity if you know where to look.

The takeaway here is simple: Don’t get married to what worked last quarter. The market’s telling you where it wants to be. Right now, that’s industrials, energy and infrastructure — not the same mega-cap tech names that led us here.

Pay attention to the rotation. It’s real, and it’s happening fast.
