Is the market's resilience a sign of strength—or just an illusion driven by a handful of tech giants? On this episode of In the Money with Amber Kanwar, JoAnne Feeney, Partner & Portfolio Manager at Advisors Capital Management, unpacks what’s really going on beneath the surface of the S&P 500. From interest rates and inflation to tariffs and global instability, she explains why valuations are holding up—and why it’s a time to stay invested, but stay selective.

In the mailbag, Feeney breaks down whether beaten-up names like Nike (NKE), UnitedHealth (UNH), Intel (INTC), and Target (TGT) have a path to recovery—or more pain ahead. She also weighs in on how Visa (V) and Mastercard (MA) stack up against stablecoins, what Tesla’s (TSLA) robo-taxi hype means for the stock, and whether defense players like Lockheed Martin (LMT) and Kratos (KTOS) still have room to run.

Plus, her Pro Picks: discount retail gem TJX Companies (TJX), under-the-radar healthcare play Quest Diagnostics (DGX), and semiconductor leader Broadcom (AVGO), which she believes is quietly outshining Nvidia.
