Jeffrey Hirsch

Editor-in-Chief, Stock Trader's Almanac

Search every verified Jeffrey Hirsch interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Jeffrey Hirsch, editor-in-chief of the Stock Trader's Almanac, discussed his market outlook in two recent podcast appearances. At the 2026 MoneyShow/TradersEXPO Orlando, he described the current market as part of a "big secular boom" he calls the "AI super boom," a concept he linked to a cycle discovered by his father, Yale Hirsch, that historically produced large market gains following periods of war-driven inflation and technological innovation. Hirsch also noted that current nominal GDP growth supports a roughly 5% area for Treasury rates and expressed a preference for technology and biotech sectors, while mentioning an active trade on Bitcoin. In a separate September 2026 interview on the Wall Street Coach podcast, Hirsch discussed the origins of the Stock Trader's Almanac, founded by his father, and outlined his approach to combining seasonal patterns with fundamental, technical, monetary policy, and sentiment analysis. He defended seasonality against criticism that it is "voodoo or magic," citing historical market behavior. Hirsch also reiterated a longer-term forecast he had made previously, projecting the Dow could reach 62,430 by 2030, and stated that recent GDP and labor data support continued growth despite expected setbacks.

Notable quotes

“I think we're in a big secular boom. I'm calling it the AI super boom. It's based upon a cycle that my illustrious late father discovered back in 76 for these the market to make these 500% moves following war inflation built on revolutionary innovative technology. He called for a 500% move after 1974 low actually didn't kick in until 82. It was a 500% move to 3420 by 1990. Dow hit it 92. S&P in did hit it 90. But wha”

“There's a certain negative connotation with seasonality like it's voodoo or magic or something when you know there's a school of thought that's pure earnings and fundamentals and stocks go up when their earnings increase and yeah but you know if you look at the history and the information, the market goes up when earnings are flat because the money is being pushed back into the stocks just like Amazon's a perfect exa”

“I think it's happening. I mean, we're not so far from it from when I made that. And that's a dated number. And I think you want to be clear that that was 62,000, 62,430. As opposed to people might think 6,200 on the S&P and get confused there. So that's upside. We're on our way there. I believe that was from last year, over a year old. The AI boom is there. The growth, we're seeing the GDP numbers are pretty solid. L”

“We have a market at a glance, a five disciplines mentality where we look at seasonality, cycles, patterns, trends, fundamentals, technicals, monetary policy, and sentiment. Sentiment I like to look at Investors Intelligence, bulls and bears, bullish and bearish advisors percentage. Monetary policy, we have some interesting things going on there. Technicals I touched on. Fundamentals, inflation something we're concern”

“The inflation part of the equation was a little bit different, but the difference instead of war spending, which drove the booms that are World War I and World War II and Vietnam, COVID, the spend there, the big government spend was the inflation driver there. So, that was a little different. Things are happening faster. We hit the 38,820 a year or so earlier than I had projected. People are still a little incredulou”

“I put a lot of weight on it right now because of what we're going on. But I also, you know, throw it at you the before and after crisis chart where we see this initial bounce off of the crisis low, which we had, and then there's this sort of sideways thing and now you can track the news flow yourself. Um, and we've heard it even the past two days are a perfect example with you know you get shots fired and then boats ”
