In the end, the Dow Industrials couldn’t CLOSE above 40,000 yesterday. But the index did try its “Dow 40K” hat on for size intraday. This morning, stocks are flattish along with crude oil and Treasuries. Gold and silver are up a bit, as is the dollar.
The US stock market indexes climbed the wall of worry to new all-time highs this week as investors and traders took advantage of the growing number of breakouts across various sectors.

Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) announced its most powerful Artificial Intelligence (AI) models to date, including Gemini 1.5 Flash, which can summarize conversations, capture images and video, and even extract data from documents and tables.

It’s been a good month in the market so far. The S&P 500 has regained all the dip from April and is now within a whisker of the all-time high. The driving forces have been an improving interest rate story and solid earnings. Plus, one of my favorite names, NextEra Energy Inc. (NEE), is now up 38% since early March, observes Tom Hutchinson, editor of Cabot Income Advisor.
Last week, the quarterly reports turned against us. Don’t blame the numbers.

Yet the stocks I target took a step to the downside, including Palantir Technologies, Inc. (PLTR), highlights Hilary Kramer, editor of Game Changers.
Following a recent, sour consumer confidence report and a set of employment figures that showed a clear hiring slowdown, bonds caught a fresh bid, and stocks haven’t looked back. Meanwhile, Golub Capital BDC Inc. (GBDC) reported Q1 results that were excellent, notes Bryan Perry, editor of Cash Machine.
Sooooo, what were some traders worried about again? Because the April selloff looks like nothing more than a memory here in mid-May.
Stocks are continuing to climb back toward their all-time highs from March. Crude oil is modestly higher along with Treasuries, while gold and silver are mixed. The dollar is a bit lower.
DraftKings (DKNG) operates the nation’s largest publicly traded online gaming and sports betting network, with 20-40% market share across the 26 states where legalized betting is approved, observes Adam Johnson, a leading growth stock specialist and the editor of Bullseye Brief.

Last year, small and mid-cap valuations got below pandemic lows and very close to the 2008 financial crisis lows. Relative to large caps, small caps are about as cheap as they've ever been. In this presentation, Peter James Hodson will examine what caused the decline, the catalysts for improvement, and what lies ahead. He will also reveal and discuss some of his favourite US and Canadian small and mid-cap companies.
