## Resource

On this episode, Karl Eggerss explains how the stock market staged a powerful rebound in April—one of the strongest Aprils on record—despite war headlines, higher oil prices, and rising interest rates, largely driven by improving corporate earnings expectations. Karl cautions that while momentum is strong, valuations are stretched, inflation pressures persist, and speculative behavior remains evident in parts of the market. The key message is to stay disciplined and diversified, participating in growth while maintaining risk management rather than making all‑or‑nothing market bets.
