Every single month in 2024 just got revised down in today’s jobs report—by an average of -626k. And if that wasn’t bad enough, the BLS business employment dynamics data and the Philly Fed’s early benchmark suggest even bigger downward revisions coming in the next annual update.

Hmmmm??

The chart below shows the average lifespan of companies in the S&P 500 Index. In the 1970s, the average lifespan was 29 years. In the 2020s, it’s projected to be just over 18 years. This just highlights the amount of disruption and turnover among market leaders today.

Take a look…

So how do companies maintain their dominant positions?

Fortune says these leaders must be “champions of adaptability, nimbly responding to an ever-changing environment.” The magazine also cites authors Jim Collins and Jerry Porras’ bestseller Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies, which claims the best companies will “preserve the core and stimulate progress.”

Where have the MAG7 Gone

Since January 10, the cap-weighted $SPY has been up 2.6%, but the equal-weight $RSP has been up 5.5%. Similarly, the cap-weighted $QQQ is up +3.1%, but equal weight $QQQE is up 5%. These cap-weighted indexes are, therefore, masking strength in the other stocks, so it isn’t all about the Magnificent Seven this year. What this means is that stock picking may be back.
