Recent Commentary

Nancy Tangler — Early‑stage bull market; long Tesla, Meta, Goldman on AI & earnings 2026-09-22
Nancy Tangler views the equity market as early in a prolonged bull run, supported by strong earnings growth, AI‑related infrastructure spending and selective tech opportunities. She is long Tesla for market‑share gains, long Meta after adding its Muse product, and long Goldman Sachs anticipating a rebound in IPO activity and wealth‑management strength, while broadly favoring AI‑linked infrastructure and value in financials.

Nancy Tengler — Welcomes a mild correction but stays bullish on equities 2026-09-18
She views a 10-15% correction as healthy but unlikely to become a bear market, citing strong earnings growth and declining P/E multiples. She expects a robust fourth quarter driven by earnings and guidance upgrades, and sees volatility as an opportunity to add to high-quality positions. She believes rising yields reflect strong nominal growth rather than a threat to equities, and anticipates stocks may rise even if the Fed hikes.
