The market continues to rotate away from AI and semiconductor stocks—but that doesn't necessarily mean a broader market decline is underway.

In today's Exit Rich…Retire Free Daily Read, Jeff Kikel explains why money is flowing out of the crowded AI trade and into other sectors of the economy. While technology struggles, companies like Coca-Cola, Caterpillar, financials, industrials, and consumer businesses continue to post strong earnings, suggesting this is a rotation rather than a market retreat.

Today's discussion includes:

• Why AI and chip stocks continue to weaken
• What Korea's bear market means for investors
• Why the Dow and equal-weight S&P 500 are telling a different story
• What to watch with this week's Federal Reserve meeting
• Why Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Apple earnings could move the entire market
• How to evaluate your own portfolio during a market rotation

Today's Bottom Line:

Rotation isn't the same as retreat. Understanding what you own matters more than reacting to headlines.
