- Politics and the midterm elections do matter: in the past, market tailwinds largely came from fiscal and deregulatory policies, while fiscal stimulus will not be as easy to introduce in the future. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQOlynguqmQ&t=272s）
- GDP growth and employment remain strong, and consumption remains healthy. If a pullback occurs, he sees it as a buying opportunity rather than a signal to retreat. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQOlynguqmQ&t=420s）
