The rally that wouldn’t quit
Stocks kept their foot on the gas on Friday, extending a comeback that’s starting to feel a little bit like the financial version of a movie sequel nobody expected to be good. The Nasdaq is now headed toward its longest winning streak since 1992, which is a fancy way of saying buyers have been very, very committed.
Why you should care
When a rally gets this extended, it can do two things at once: make the bulls feel like geniuses and make everyone else wonder when gravity plans to show up. That matters because big index runs tend to spill over into everything from mega-cap tech to the riskier corners of the market.
Big picture
This isn’t about one company or one earnings report. It’s the broader market mood: investors are still piling in, and they’re doing it with the confidence of someone who just found out the drinks are free. If this streak keeps going, it could keep the momentum trade very much alive — at least until the market decides it’s time to blink.
