There are a few things that can light a fire under the market—but none are as powerful as the return of risk-taking. Speculative interest, not fundamentals, is what really drives stocks higher.
One of my Ten Commandments of Trading is simple: “Stocks are driven higher by speculation, not fundamentals.” Yes, a solid earnings report can move a stock, but it’s nothing compared to what happens when the crowd starts buying into the future—not the present.
Want proof? The seven stocks I’m about to show you are up an average of 58% since April 9. And unlike the Magnificent Seven, every one of them is still in a bullish trend for 2025.
