But we saved everything 🙂.

Carlson has previously noted that the S&P 500 recorded 72 up years and 26 down years between 1928 and 2025, alongside 26 years of significant rallies, according to historical performance data. Earlier this year, he highlighted that emerging markets posted 31% year-to-date gains, with small caps also outperforming the S&P 500 while the Magnificent 7 declined 3%. These observations frame recent discussions on asset trends and equity sentiment.
