GE Aerospace is up 563% since January 1st, 2023. That's more than every MAG-7 name except NVIDIA (NVDA).

Not Google (GOOG). Not Amazon (AMZN). Not Tesla (TSLA). A jet engine company.

We own it. And today, we closed half the position for over 100% in profits.

I want to talk about why, because it's not just a trade. It's a signal that what we're seeing in the market is working. And it starts with the bigger picture.

This Is Normal Mid Bull Market Cycle Behavior

Everyone is so focused on whether the S&P makes a new high that they're missing what's actually happening underneath.

The market is broadening out. More stocks are going up than down.

The advance decline line is hitting new highs. Equal weight S&P (RSP) is outperforming the cap weighted index (SPY) so far this year.

Check it out:

This is textbook mid cycle behavior.

In the early stages of a bull market, the growth sectors tend to do all of the heavy lifting. That was 2023 and most of 2024. The Magnificent Seven carried everything while the rest of the market sat there.

But as the cycle matures, leadership rotates. The real economy sectors take the baton. Energy. Industrials. Materials. Financials. The sectors that actually reflect economic activity. Things we can grab. Things we can hammer. Things we can shovel. And mine.

That's exactly what's happening right now.

Energy is up 22% year to date. Materials up 16%. Industrials up 14%. Technology is down 2%. The spread between the strongest and weakest sectors is 20 percentage points in less than two months. That's not financial institutions capitulating.. that's broadening.

And broadening is bullish. When more sectors participate, the foundation of the rally gets stronger, not weaker. The people screaming about tech pulling back are missing the forest for the trees. The market isn't getting narrower. It's getting healthier.

Back to GE

We bought GE because the data told us to. Institutional capital flowing into industrials. The trend was confirmed on every timeframe. Momentum was accelerating. And GE was one of the top stocks within the industrial sector. When all three of those things line up, you buy.

Today we sold half at over 100%. Not because the thesis on GE is dead. The thesis is very much alive. We sold because we always take profits at the double. No exceptions. The remaining position now rides for free with zero risk. And we have until January 15th, 2027 to let this trade keep winning for us.

That's how we compound our wins. We don't hold and hope. We have a system. We follow it. We take what the market gives us and we move on to the next one.

What's Next

I've spent years refining the process that found GE before it doubled. The way I track institutional money, read the trend, and measure momentum. It's the same process I use every week on our webinars and inside of the TTI newsletter.

Next week, I'm formalizing it into something you can see, track, and use alongside me. A scoring system. One number that tells you where the strongest opportunities are and where the landmines are hiding.

More details coming soon.

If you're not already a subscriber, this weekend would be a good time to fix that.
