Am I alone in this, or do we forget about the 'people factor' too much in stock selection?
I’ve spent all week poring over P/E ratios and financials, but I think I’ve been doing it wrong so far. I mean, numbers are good and all that jazz, but if management sucks at making people happy in the long term, then forget it – the stock will crash anyway. …

Are institutions quietly de-risking while retail is still buying the dip?

After the last decade where “buy the dip” almost always worked, retail still seems conditioned to keep doing it, while institutions might be doing the opposite - raising cash, rotating to safety, or just waiting this out with oil spikes and rising geopolitical …
How much would SPY rally if an actual peace deal was announced?
Back on April 9th, 2025, the US announced a pause on the Liberation day tarrifs. SPY rocketed +11.14% that day. The situation with Iran is different.
