The S & P ended at 4,372, exactly where it was at 2 PM when the Fed made its announcement. In English: I am not saying a soft landing is happening, but we could make it. The stock market certainly believes in the soft landing. The S & P is up nearly 5% this month alone on a belief the job market will remain strong and the Fed is done. But the S & P is up over 500 points (more than 13%) since bottoming at 3,855 on March 13th.

Dividend Stocks Have New Competition: Cash

AT&T cut its dividend last year when it divested the WarnerMedia division. Stocks used to be the only game in town for investors chasing robust returns. Soaring inflation has pushed government-bond yields to their highest levels in more than a decade. That, coupled with a soggy stock market, has led to a steady decline in the number of stocks that offer comparatively high yields: There were just 34 stocks in the S&P 500 with a dividend yield above that on the six-month Treasury bill as of Friday, according to Birinyi Associates. The six-month yield settled at 5.116%, according to Dow Jones Market Data
Amazing start to the year for stocks, but there are warning signs. "In seven of the ten other instances [where the S & P was up at least 7% by Feb. 2nd], the S & P continued higher for the remainder of the year," according to Jeffrey Yale Rubin, director of research at Birinyi. In eight of the 10 years where the S & P was up at least 7% by Feb. 2nd, the S & P moved at least 10% in the remainder of the year, according to Rubin. It is fairly unusual for major indexes like the Nasdaq and S & P 500 to go into overbought territory. while tech stocks have been heavily bought (the Nasdaq-100, a barometer of tech interest, is up 17% year to date).
Amid the tough backdrop, Minerd shared two areas where he thinks investors can find return. "That's a much better place to go with your money than the stock market," Minerd said. "If you look at defense stocks year-to-date, they're generally high. And so I think there's a lot more upside in defense stocks, both relatively in the short run and in the next five years." Funds like the SPDR S&P Aerospace & Defense ETF (XAR) and the iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF (ITA) offer diversified exposure to defense stocks.
