Sell-side Indicator (BofA) is almost on Sell, Vix is still asleep, the Bear Case revisited, FICO massacred | WAYT?

The episode packages several sentiment and positioning signals — a sell-side indicator nearing sell, a quiet VIX and narrowing breadth — that advisors can weigh against client conversations about concentration risk. It also addresses Nvidia's weight in the S&P 500 and the mega-cap tech disconnect, both relevant to index-level exposure in client portfolios.
