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 Rebound Day After Rate Hike — What's Driving the Rally?
Stocks took back Wednesday's Fed day and more: QQQ +1.73% to $716.92, SPY +1.13% to $762.60, the S&P 500 +1.14% to 7,637.76, against Wednesday's 0.45% decline. The lift came from outside the Fed. Weekly jobless claims unexpectedly fell, which says the labor market is not cooling the way the rate path assumes, and oil kept sliding, easing inflation pressure. Yields fell and megacap tech led. The uncertainty everyone waited on is behind the market now. But the dot plot still points to one more hike this year, and only the hike already delivered is in the price. What is the market betting on?
