Discussing the recent market turbulence, Krank, managing partner at Collins & Krank, addressed the divergence between major indices following a notable sell-off. While the Dow took a significant hit, the tech-heavy Nasdaq experienced a much milder decline, falling approximately 85 points.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s different companies in each of those indices,\u201d Krank said, noting that while the Dow historically leaned toward industrials, it now includes major tech heavyweights like Google, Nvidia, and Microsoft. He explained that index structures also contribute to these discrepancies, highlighting that the 30-company Dow is a price-weighted index, whereas the S&P 500 is cap-weighted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cA price-weighted index says the stock with the biggest price carries the most weight,\u201d Krank stated.<\/p>\n
Beyond index differences, Krank expressed frustration with the current market behavior, describing it as a \u201cnasty, volatile rotation\u201d rather than a straightforward market correction.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sick of it, to be real honest with you,\u201d Krank said. \u201cI\u2019d rather have\u2026 a good old-fashioned, scary correction sell-off [to] scare out the weak shareholders, and then we can go in and buy the great companies cheap.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Instead, he explained, the market is undergoing a \u201cviolent rotation\u201d that is \u201ctaking out stocks one at a time\u201d after earnings announcements.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a dangerous time to be in this market if you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing,\u201d Krank warned, noting that institutional, hedge fund, and leveraged capital are driving rapid shifts between sub-sectors like semiconductors, memory stocks, and fiber optics.<\/p>\n
In response to the volatility, Krank advised investors against speculative short-term trades and cautioned against blindly buying and holding.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re hunkered down right now,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re not taking any chances\u2026 we\u2019re sticking to our core holdings, and we\u2019re just going to ride out those high-quality productive assets.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He added that his firm is currently helping clients perform \u201cportfolio remodeling\u201d to eliminate underperforming assets and position themselves for the market\u2019s next upward move.<\/p>\n
Looking ahead, market participants are keeping a close eye on upcoming economic indicators and corporate announcements. Apple is set to host its annual product event, where the company is expected to reveal new updates to its product line. Additionally, upcoming inflation reports and the next Federal Reserve meeting are expected to provide further clarity on the future direction of interest rates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Collins and Krank\u2019s Brien Krank on WDAY Radio\u2019s Bonnie and Friends https:\/\/dehayf5mhw1h7.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2329\/2026\/09\/09093446\/brien-krank-9-9-26.mp3 FARGO, N.D. \u2013 Following a sharp…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":841938,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[28,112],"class_list":["post-841937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-markets","tag-business","tag-markets"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841937","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=841937"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841937\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/841938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=841937"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=841937"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=841937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
