  • 2.Tech valuations have compressed from 29x to 22x forward P/E despite stock gains, indicating earnings growth is outpacing price appreciation, contrary to bubble narratives.
  • 3.Soaring national debt passing $40T and $1T annual interest payments reinforce the necessity of owning pricing-power equities over cash.
