Synopsis

Value stocks are quietly crushing growth by the widest margin since 2001, while $2 trillion has rotated out of the Magnificent 7 into old-economy heavyweights like Exxon, Micron, and Caterpillar — a structural shift most investors are missing because the Middle East conflict is dominating headlines. Josh Brown and Michael Batnick make a pointed case that the April market bottom is likely in, backed by data showing retail options traders panic-buying puts at levels seen only during COVID and record cash inflows into money markets. For any professional managing a portfolio right now, the episode's breakdown of where money is actually flowing — and why 75% of individual investors fundamentally misunderstand how dividends work — makes it worth the hour.
