No smoking gun' IS the smoking gun
People keep saying "there's no smoking gun" for this week’s tech crash. That IS the smoking gun. We just witnessed one of the worst momentum days in 25 years.

The rotation has lost it's damn mind
Toll Brothers is up 11% this year. Apple is only up 1%. You're telling me Toll Brothers is better off than Apple? This is a home builder. With rates going up.
