• Forecasts S&P 500 gains of 12-15% (video overlay states 'in 2026', speaker implies 'this year').
• Believes the global economy is on better footing, potentially leading to fewer rate cuts than the market currently prices in.
• Points to strong productivity (4.9% in Q3), higher earnings growth, and profit margins as key tailwinds.
• Notes a broadening market, with small caps (Russell 2000) outperforming and regional banks hitting multi-year highs.
• Recommends a well-diversified portfolio with an overweight position in equities, favoring developed international markets like Europe.
