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.

I’ve seen the advantage of waiting for the open wane in recent weeks… as long as overnight action and reaction to premarket data are both mild, I think selling before open is advantageous. However, you need to watch for bad delta skews in pre-market and make sure you are centered well for projected open price of SPX.
