Major indexes approach all-time highs while many stocks lag, Mark Minervini notes
Indexes close to record highs as breadth lags

Mark Minervini, independent trader and educator at Minervini Private Access, observes that the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are trading less than 1 percent from their all-time highs.

He points out that while these major indexes have largely avoided their typical August–September correction, substantial weakness has been seen in individual stocks, with many falling below key moving averages and market breadth showing strain.

Minervini has previously questioned why AI-managed portfolios at major firms have struggled to outperform the S&P 500 and deliver audited results, as noted in an earlier article. He has also emphasized that skill, discipline, and risk management are essential for consistent stock market success, rather than relying on hope or faith, according to a separate report. These views align with his current observations on market breadth and individual stock performance.
