  Welcome back to Spy Trader .

  I'm your host , Penny Stockerton , and we are tracking the early movements after a seriously shaky trading day .
• 0:09
  It's 5 am on Wednesday , November 5th , 2025 , Pacific time .
• 0:15
  The US market is fighting back this morning , currently showing mixedtomildly positive movements following yesterday’s significant technologyled selloff .
• 0:25
  The big story remains valuation risk .
• 0:28
  The S&P 500's P/E ratio is reportedly nearing levels last seen in the year 2000 , fueling correction fears and leading to major divergence between sectors .
• 0:39
  In yesterday’s carnage , the Nasdaq Composite tumbled 2.1% , dragged down by AI stocks .
• 0:46
  The S&P 500 dropped 1.2% .
• 0:49
  But listen to this : the Dow Jones , which is heavier on industrial and value names , showed relative resilience , dropping a milder 0.5% .
• 1:00
  The immediate catalyst for the volatility was the intense reevaluation of highgrowth tech names .
• 1:06
  Palantir Technologies , or PLTR , plunged 8–9% despite beating Q3 earnings .
• 1:13
  Why ?
• 1:14
  Its pricetosales ratio of 85 was deemed simply too high .
• 1:18
  Similarly , AI chip leader Nvidia dropped 4% , a move compounded by news that a wellknown hedge fund manager , Michael Burry , revealed short positions against both PLTR and NVDA .
• 1:32
  However , let’s look beyond the tech drama .
• 1:35
  The overall earnings season remains robust .
• 1:38
  A massive 83% of S&P 500 companies are exceeding forecasts .
• 1:43
  This shows corporate fundamentals are solid , provided you look outside the overly concentrated , overvalued tech segment .
• 1:50
  We saw this strength in action , with DuPont de Nemours , ticker DD , jumping 8.85% and Yum !
• 1:57
  Brands , YUM , gaining 7.30% after their earnings beats .
• 2:03
  The analysis here is simple : this is a major rotation from growth into value and defense .
• 2:09
  Capital is fleeing the sharply negative Technology sector , which fell 2.67% , and flowing directly into areas showing resilience .
• 2:18
  Financials , driven by stability in major lenders like JPMorgan Chase , JPM , were up 0.52% .
• 2:28
  Health Care and Consumer Staples also posted positive gains , confirming the move to defensive safety in the face of slowing but still positive economic growth and persistent inflation .
• 2:41
  Given the volatility and valuation warnings , the trading strategy for the next few hours should be focused on defense and value rotation .
• 2:50
  First , position defensively .
• 2:53
  Look at the Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund ( XLV ) or the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund ( XLF ) , as these sectors are clearly attracting capital due to their reasonable valuations and strong earnings reports .
• 3:08
  Second , maintain diversified exposure .
• 3:12
  Since 83% of S&P 500 companies are beating estimates , don't panic out of the market .
• 3:20
  Consider an instrument like the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF ( VTI ) to capture that broad positive fundamental strength while avoiding the concentration risk that is crushing the Nasdaq .
• 3:33
  Finally , for selective growth , wait for clarity .
• 3:37
  We need to see if the recent Nasdaq tumble forms a technical bottom .
• 3:42
  Hold off on large inflows to the Invesco QQQ Trust ( QQQ ) until valuation fears truly subside , despite the fact that underlying business fundamentals for companies like Nvidia remain powerful .
• 3:56
  That's it for this update .
• 3:58
  Stay safe out there , and remember : trade smart , not hard .
