Veteran analyst sends surprising message on stocks, bonds, and gold
The stock market rally has been impressive. Since President Donald Trump paused most reciprocal tariffs on April 9, only days after announcing them, stocks have soared. The S&P 500 has gained about 20%, while the tech-stock heavy Nasdaq Composite is up 27%. Those returns in such a short span significantly outpace the average 10% annual return for stocks since 1928. Stocks haven't been the only winner. Gold has also notched impressive returns this year. The yellow metal has rallied 30% in 2025 as investors have sought to insulate risk amid growing economic concerns surrounding debt and the impact of tariffs on inflation. Related: Legendary fund manager sends blunt 3-word message on economy The one big disappointment this year: Treasury bonds. They've tumbled, sending bond yields soaring, as global investors have soured on financing America's insatiable appetite for spending. The market action has captured the attention of many, including veteran commodities and futures analyst Carley Garner. Garner has been professionally navigating these markets for twenty years, and her track record includes accurately predicting the stock rally in 2023 and last year's decline in oil prices. Garner updated her outlook on stocks, gold, and bonds, and her takeaway may surprise rally since the lows in early April likely surprised many, given significant economic risks remain. While inflation has retreated below 3% from over 8% in 2022, price increases over the past years have cash-strapped consumers, causing them to shift spending from discretionary purchases to essentials. Related: Bank of America unveils surprising Fed interest rate forecast for 2026 The problem has been compounded by an uptick in unemployment, which has increased to 4.2% from 3.4% in 2023, partly due to higher interest rates designed to crimp inflation. According to Challenger, Gray, & Christmas, U.S. companies have laid off 696,309 workers this year through May, up 80% from one year ago. The situation isn't likely to get much better for workers. While Trump paused many reciprocal tariffs in April, key tariffs remain, including a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico and autos, a 10% tariff on all imports, and 30% tariff on China (total tariffs on China, including those put in place during President Trump's first term exceed 50%). The remaining tariffs, and potential for more after the 90-day pause expires, could fuel inflation later this year, particularly in retail, which sources everything from clothing to electronics from overseas. The risk of inflation alongside job losses suggests America could go headlong into a period of stagflation or recession. Despite those risks, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite have notched remarkable gains. Investors who quickly sold amid tariff announcements earlier this year have been left behind, and as a result, they're buying every dip to regain their exposure. One major exception? Warren Buffett. The Oracle of Omaha has increased Berkshire Hathaway's cash position, choosing to collect guaranteed fixed income from T-bills rather than leap back into the stock market amid the uncertainty. Exiting the first quarter, Warren Buffett's cash stockpile eclipsed $347 billion, a record, and more than double the levels exiting 2023. The rallies in stocks and gold may continue, but like Buffett, Carley Garner doesn't see the risk-to-reward as overly compelling in stocks. She's also become bearish on gold relative to bonds, given that gold has moved significantly higher and, unlike bonds, doesn't pay dividends. "While I believe the S&P 500 can easily reach 6300 to 6400, the downside risk might be outsized relative to the potential reward," wrote Garner on TheStreet Pro. "Since 1928, the S&P 500 has returned an average annual rate of 10%; however, in recent years, the average return has been abnormally high, at approximately 14%. There is a good chance that, like the dot-com era, we have pulled forward gains and could be on the verge of a "returnless" market in the coming years." Garner points to a key measure favored by Warren Buffett regarding stock market valuation as evidence that stocks are over their skis. More Experts: Fed official sends strong message about interest-rate cutsBillionaire fund manager sends surprising message on trade deficitHedge-fund manager sees U.S. becoming Greece "The Warren Buffett Indicator measures the total stock market value vs. the GDP," wrote Garner. "Since 1950, the stock market has only been this overstretched a few other times. Not surprisingly, the dot-com bubble was one of those times. Historically, this indicator has not been the time to hit the gas on risk assets. It has been the opposite." The arguable overvaluation of stocks could mean the risk of a reckoning is high enough to concentrate on other assets. However, gold may not be the best bet, given it's already made a big move higher. Instead, it's Treasury bonds that Garner believes offer the best chance for upside. "There is only one [of these assets] near a two-decade low in valuation: Treasuries," writes Garner. "Except for some forms of real estate, it is the only asset that yields an attractive income stream. Lastly, Treasuries are the least risky asset class in the world but the market is treating the securities as anything but." Garner points out that people were flocking to own bonds with paltry yields only five years ago. Now, they're shunning yields near 4.5%. Many are hesitant to own bonds despite the high yields, fearing that bonds will continue to drop, sending yields even higher, as the US debt load rises. While it's true that lower bond values could mean short-term losses, Garner views the risk of a US default as unlikely, suggesting that those holding Treasuries to maturity will be fine, and pocket healthy income along the way. "Historically, there have been two other instances in history when stocks were as overvalued as they are now relative to bonds. Or, alternatively, bonds were this undervalued relative to stocks," wrote Garner. "Such opportunities have only arisen once every two decades, and they have proven to be significant inflection points in both stocks (the beginning of prolonged underperformance) and bonds (the start of a period of capital gains to enhance interest earned). This metric has been similarly favoring bonds since the initial collapse in 2023, so instant satisfaction shouldn't be expected, but patience will likely pay off."

2 Healthcare Stocks to Keep an Eye On and 1 to Ignore
From novel pharmaceuticals to telemedicine, most healthcare companies are on a mission to drive better patient outcomes. But speed bumps such as inventory destockings have persisted in the wake of COVID-19, and over the past six months, the industry has pulled back by 7.5%. This drop was discouraging since the S&P 500 held steady. The elite companies can churn out earnings growth under any circumstance, however, and our mission at StockStory is to help you find them. Taking that into account, here are two healthcare stocks we think can generate sustainable market-beating returns and one we're steering clear of. Market Cap: $4.48 billion Pioneering the shift from bulky, short-term heart monitors to sleek, wire-free patches, iRhythm Technologies (NASDAQ:IRTC) provides wearable cardiac monitoring devices and AI-powered analysis services that help physicians detect and diagnose heart rhythm disorders. Why Is IRTC Not Exciting? Issuance of new shares over the last five years caused its earnings per share to fall by 5.6% annually while its revenue grew Cash-burning history makes us doubt the long-term viability of its business model 124× net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio shows it's overleveraged and increases the probability of shareholder dilution if things turn unexpectedly iRhythm's stock price of $138.38 implies a valuation ratio of 78.4x forward EV-to-EBITDA. If you're considering IRTC for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more. Market Cap: $3.51 billion Pioneering treatments for a devastating childhood muscle-wasting disease that primarily affects boys, Sarepta Therapeutics (NASDAQ:SRPT) develops and commercializes RNA-targeted therapies and gene therapies for rare genetic disorders, primarily Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Why Do We Love SRPT? Market share has increased this cycle as its 51.3% annual revenue growth over the last two years was exceptional Earnings per share grew by 41% annually over the last five years, massively outpacing its peers Cash-burning tendencies have improved over the last five years, showing it could become financially independent one day At $35.74 per share, Sarepta Therapeutics trades at 3.5x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it's free. Market Cap: $14.82 billion With a network spanning nine states and serving primarily urban and suburban communities, Tenet Healthcare (NYSE:THC) operates a nationwide network of hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and outpatient facilities providing acute care and specialty healthcare services. Why Do We Like THC? Share repurchases have amplified shareholder returns as its annual earnings per share growth of 30.7% exceeded its revenue gains over the last five years Market-beating returns on capital illustrate that management has a knack for investing in profitable ventures, and its returns are growing as it capitalizes on even better market opportunities Returns on capital are climbing as management makes more lucrative bets Tenet Healthcare is trading at $159.57 per share, or 13x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it's free. The market surged in 2024 and reached record highs after Donald Trump's presidential victory in November, but questions about new economic policies are adding much uncertainty for 2025. While the crowd speculates what might happen next, we're homing in on the companies that can succeed regardless of the political or macroeconomic environment. Put yourself in the driver's seat and build a durable portfolio by checking out our Top 9 Market-Beating Stocks. This is a curated list of our High Quality stocks that have generated a market-beating return of 176% over the last five years. Stocks that made our list in 2020 include now familiar names such as Nvidia (+1,545% between March 2020 and March 2025) as well as under-the-radar businesses like the once-micro-cap company Tecnoglass (+1,754% five-year return).

These Were the 2 Worst-Performing Stocks in the S&P 500 in May 2025
The S&P 500 rebounded in May, but some stocks crashed on company-specific concerns. While one healthcare giant withdrew its outlook for 2025, another faced an unexpected setback in a drug trial. Both stocks, however, are worth a watch now. 10 stocks we like better than UnitedHealth Group › The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) index, the most widely followed index in the stock market, briefly entered bear market territory in April but rebounded in May, much to investors' relief. Yet, although the index gained 6.2% in May, nearly 30% of its constituent 500 stocks fell last month, with two healthcare stocks emerging as the worst-performing S&P 500 stocks in May. UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) was the worst-performing stock in the S&P 500 last month. It plunged 26.6% to 52-week lows of $248.88 per share on May 15 after CEO Andrew Witty abruptly resigned and UnitedHealth withdrew its earnings outlook for the full year as Medicare Advantage costs surged. UnitedHealth also found itself in the middle of controversy in May when The Guardian alleged that the company secretly paid bonuses to nursing homes to prevent hospital transfers and cut costs. The Wall Street Journal, meanwhile, alleged that the health insurance giant was facing a criminal investigation by the Department of Justice for a "possible Medicare fraud." UnitedHealth, however, has refuted the allegations made by both publications, appointed former CEO Stephen J. Hemsley with immediate effect, and expects to return to growth in 2026. UnitedHealth's second-quarter earnings on July 29 could determine where the stock is headed next. Shares of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: REGN) dived 18.2% in May, losing all that value on May 30 alone after Regeneron's second phase 3 trial for its experimental drug for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, itepekimab, failed. The drug is being co-developed by Regeneron and Sanofi, and its sales could hit nearly $5 billion at peak. Regeneron stock cracked as investors now believe the drug could be delayed by some years. Regeneron, however, has a robust pipeline, and it initiated a quarterly dividend earlier this year. There's one update you'd want to know, though. Regeneron has been outbid by the co-founder and former CEO of 23andMe, a human genetics and biotech company it bid for in May. Before you buy stock in UnitedHealth Group, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and UnitedHealth Group wasn't one of them.
