"The structural bull market remains intact due to strong liquidity, AI productivity gains, and a weak dollar tailwind, but investors must navigate high volatility and rising speculation."
Executive Summary
In Lansing Street Advisors' Q2 2025 investor letter, titled 'The Times They Are A-Changin', the firm offers a constructive, long-term bullish view on U.S. equities while warning of a growing 'speculation economy.' The S&P 500 has experienced a decade's worth of volatility in just five years, navigating six 'mini-black swans' yet consistently pushing to new highs. Lansing Street argues that volatility is the price of admission for long-term gains and that the 'buy the dip' mentality remains dominant. Valuations are elevated with a forward P/E of 22x atop higher interest rates (4.4%), but deregulation, AI-driven productivity gains, and a weak U.S. dollar serve as substantial tailwinds for large-cap global companies like the Magnificent Seven. While retail speculation in crypto, zero-day options, and meme stocks is reaching levels reminiscent of late 1999, the firm believes this bull market is not yet at its peak and will likely culminate in a wild IPO market before the 'buy the dip' strategy is finally crushed. Investors are advised to maintain exposure to U.S. equities while avoiding reckless speculative behavior.
