In Episode 79 of Bull Market Conversations, Lucas and Luna explore a counterintuitive phenomenon: as bull markets mature, they create new defensive sectors that behave differently from traditional safe havens. Using the current June 2026 bull market as a case study, they examine how AI software stocks — including Cloudflare, Datadog, and CrowdStrike — are showing lower volatility and stronger relative performance during pullbacks, effectively becoming the new utilities or consumer staples. Lucas cites the recent 5-day performance of NET (+8.6%), DDOG (+8.3%), and CRWD (+3.8%) even as growth indexes like IWF fell 2.2%. The hosts discuss why this is happening: subscription revenue models, high switching costs, and AI-driven demand creating secular growth that investors treat as bond-like. Luna challenges whether this is durable or just a momentum trade, and Lucas walks through the mechanics of why software companies with high net revenue retention and long-duration contracts can legitimately command defensive premiums. The conversation closes with a look at what this means for portfolio construction — and whether investors should overweight these new defensives or wait for a proper rotation. #BullMarket #DefensiveSectors #AISoftware #Cloudflare #Datadog #CrowdStrike #PortfolioStrategy #RevenueModel #SubscriptionEconomics #SecularGrowth #MarketRotation #Volatility #GrowthStocks #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Finance #Investing #MarketStructure Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
