Andy’s Weekly Market Update | July 23, 2026 | The SpaceX IPO Hype, Tactical Investing & the Rise of Passive Funds

Everyone loves the idea of finding the next investment that changes their financial future overnight. But history has shown that long-term success is usually built through discipline—not hype.

In this week’s market update, Andy shares why investors don’t always need to remain fully invested during market corrections, how trend-following can help inform portfolio decisions, and why patience is often overlooked in today’s fast-moving markets.

He also discusses how the rapid growth of passive investing has transformed the stock market. While passive funds represented only a small percentage of market assets decades ago, they now make up a significant share, changing how capital flows into stocks and influencing price discovery.

Whether you’re wondering about the SpaceX IPO or trying to better understand today’s market environment, this update offers perspective on managing risk, following trends, and avoiding the temptation to chase headlines.

Follow along each week for practical market commentary focused on risk management, technical analysis, and long-term investing.
