Three Charts That Have Our Attention

If you are curious about what’s going on in the market or economy, we’d like to share some charts / graphics that we think are insightful.

Bigger Isn't Always Better. The biggest companies today aren’t guaranteed to stay there tomorrow. Market leadership changes faster than most investors realize, and history proves it. Few companies hold onto the top spot for long and many former giants eventually fade from the leaderboard. Betting too heavily on today’s winners can leave you overexposed when the cycle shifts.

Big Sports, Big Money. This chart highlights how the major U.S. sports leagues make money in very different ways. The NFL relies heavily on national TV deals, while leagues like MLB and the NHL lean much more on ticket sales and local media. It’s a reminder that each league’s business model reflects how fans engage with the sport both in stadiums and on screens.

​
​The September Effect. Since 1928, the S&P 500 has averaged negative returns in September, even though the market is positive over the long run. Theories range from tax-loss harvesting to investors returning from summer vacations and repositioning portfolios. Despite the pattern, the “effect” isn’t reliable year to year, as many Septembers finish positive.
