Every year the same old phrase about selling in May and walking away, but blindly following a historical trend may not be the best idea this year.

The reality of today's market is built on completely different engines than the past, and there are incredibly solid reasons why a sell in May isn't as likely or not to that extend this year.

For a start, looking at corporate spending, the largest tech hyperscalers have collectively locked in nearly seven hundred billion dollars in infrastructure budgets for this year alone, and roughly three-quarters of that is tied directly to physical AI buildouts. This are massive, contracted physical infrastructure that doesn't just stop because the calendar turned to May.The race to AI supremacy is real.

On top of that, look at the corporate receipts. Earnings season has been remarkably strong, with more than eighty percent of major companies delivering solid beats and upward revisions. Buying the dip is the way to go this round.

Markets Plunge, Rate Hike Priced In? When Does the Bottom Come?
The S&P 500 ETF (SPY) fell 2.58% and the Nasdaq QQQ dropped 4.80% on Friday, as chip stocks erased roughly $1.3 trillion in market cap in a single session. A stronger-than-expected May jobs report — 172,000 payrolls added, unemployment at 4.3% — reset Fed rate-cut expectations, cementing the view that the Fed has no reason to rescue growth stocks. Overnight reports of an Iranian strike on Israel added fresh geopolitical risk, with institutions calling this the first real test of the recent rally. Will you panic and exit, or treat this selloff as a buying opportunity?
