RIS 3-11-25 TUESDAY Best-of Show
Lance's vacation week continues, and we rteview past episode of the show, today featuring a discussion of administration policies' effects on the economy. Will Donald Trump's Crypto-reserve translate into a boon for tech stocks and cryptocurrencies? The Atlanta Fed GDP shows negative growth: This does not mean recessionary. Front loading of purchases ahead of tariff imposition will result in pullback from anticipated purchasing later in the year, affecting profits. March is a seasonally strong month. A look at the market rally and rotation trades; the economy is not bad, but pullbacks are coming from DOGE cuts in government spending and job losses, and the impact of fewer immigrants for hiring. (Where are most jobs now being created?) The Chicago Fed National Activity Index is in contraction. Removing government bloat is not without consequence. Don't under-estimate the impact of government policy and hiring on the economy. Lance next discusses the elevated risk appetite of Gen-X investors, who have never known anything but an ever-climbing market climate; the impact of financial crisis & dealin with risk. Lance reviews his essay, "CAPE-5: A Different Measure of Valuation." Valuations reflect sentiment; is "easy-street" for investors coming to an end?

RIS 3-10-25 MONDAY Best-of Show
Lance is on vacation this week. This compilation show includes a conversation about estate planning and the consequences of failing to properly plan; "If I were President, the first thing I would do..." Lance and Jonathan solve all problems: Cleaning up D.C. first, and the changes are not going to be without pain; and a send-off for Gene Hackman, , and Lance and Michael discuss creating liquidity out of debt, and the Fed's Reverse Repo tool. Recent Fed minutes hint at tweaking liquidity ahead of debt ceiling adjustments. Investor psychology and levels of bearishness not unlike pre-crash mentality. This may be the year with high volatility and markets go nowhere. How to be more rational? Adjust views of markets in varying time-spans (weekly, monthly) vs hourly and daily. Double-down or get out?

3-7-25 There is More to College Funding than Meets the Eye
We introduce Sarah Buenger, CFP, our in-house college funding expert and Professor of Financial Planning at Texas A&M University. Richard discusses diversification in portfolios vs "sext" stocks, sector rotation, and the Fed's Jobs preview; sentiment doesn't match the markets. Tariff s vs protectionism: disruption is what markets dislike the most. A discussion about social security, and DOGE vs SSA: What is likely to happen? Setting SSA COLA to GDP-E for Seniors; the wisdom in waiting to take SS. Planning for college; FAFSA, Learning Credits, and scholarships. Never fully fund college savings 100%; what to do with left over college fund money? The benefits of taking dual-credit courses in high school. Review AP Classes: Not all universities treat these the same. Not all scholarships require SAT/ACT scores; sports scholarships are typical fractional to pull in more athletes.

3-6-25 Never Let a Good Crisis Go to Waste
Lance is preparing for Spring Break Vacation next week (3/10-14); Market rallied Wednesday on possible delays of tariff impositions on Automobiles. Lance reviews potential new tax deductions like we used to have. Deportation forecasts: Previous events did not crash markets. Investor and positioning sentiment are still very negative. (At this point in the broadcast, our streaming connection was lost; the complete audio can be heard on our various audio podcast platforms, listed below.) Is the economy slipping, or are the markets just anxious? Lance and Michael talk about the Atlanta Fed GDP Now report; what will be the next crisis: he Debt Ceiling? Will the Fed halt Quantitative Easing (QT)? How the repeal of Rule 157 resulted in fantasy valuations vs Mark to Market.

3-6-25 Markets to Retest 200-DMA
Markets are looking to open lower, but there's no, one reason as the cause. We'll retest the 200-DMA again today: Be careful of breaks in support! When these have occurred in the past, they've turned out to be buying opportunities, not selling opportunities. Concerns over negative GDP data should improve as new data is received. This is hinted in improving ISM Services and Manufacturing data, which will feed into the next Atlanta GDP report, and provide positive input. It is also likely that a better-than-expected Employment Report will be seen on Friday. Be careful when everyone is negative: Counter-trend data can reverse that mood. Remember, sellers live higher, buyers live lower. We've got to go back to November 2023 for the last retest of the 200-DMA. Every time markets have been as over sold as this, near-term, bottoms have resulted. So, even though markets could go lower, the trend right now is positive.

3-5-25 Tariff Turmoil
President Donald Trump's speech last night kept us up late, running nearly two-hours outlining his plan to offset lower tax revenues with tariffs on other countries. A discussion on reciprocal tariffs; how markets work; where earnings growth comes fromn. Markets are now re-pricing the impact of tariffs (Chart of stock valuations heat map). Lance and Danny discuss the ebb and flow of the U.S. Dollar, and buzzword headlin-generators: The latest is Stagflation. Most do not know the three elements required: Low growth, high inflation, and high unemployment. The Tru-flation index has collapsed, and markets are re-pricing the effects of tariffs. Lance and Danny address the importance of managing emotions and investor behavior/psychology. Why sometimes, the best thing to do is to do nothing. Why eggs prices have nothing to do with inflation. The Value of a Financial Advisor: To make sure income growth exceeds inflation growth. Lance & Danny discuss the viability of international and emerging markets stocks.

3-5-25 Have Markets Found the Bottom?
Markets are down 6% and very over sold: This is the time to look for opportunities. The problem with finding market bottoms is the time it takes to work it out. Significantly, markets tested the 200-DMA on Tuesday for the first time in a long, long time. There is a cluster of resistance around 5900 on the S&P: The 20-DMA, the 50-DMA, the 100-DMA are all clustered there. It will be tough for markets to rise above that level. It is likely markets will be trapped within a certain range for a while. The markets' over sold condition has pushed the MACD indicator to a low level we haven't seen in quite some time. Momentum and relative strength are both very over sold. Previous conditions like this have typically aligned with a market bottom. This is probably close to a level where a reflexive rally is inevitable. If that is the case, use this opportunity to rebalance risk in your portfolio. Part of the markets' decline has also been seen in the US Dollar. The Dollar is also down to its 200-DMA. Bonds, on the other hand, have enjoyed a nice rally, and are now extremely over bought. It would not be surprising to see a pull back of the TLT to the $90 level at this point. Interest Rates are similarly over bought, so expect a bit of a reset.

3-4-25 Markets Adjust for Tariffs
Markets rallied on Monday, but declined over all, and are looking to open lower this morning. We are still within a very large consolidation range in which markets have been operating since last November. We're down about 4% from market highs, which may feel pretty bad (and this is where investors get on the wrong side of the trade); we're over sold with a very deep sell signal, and this is the point where markets typically start to look for an interim bottom where you get a tradable rally. Such event is an opportunity to re-balance risk (sell) in preparation for the next downturn. So we anticipate markets will struggle a bit as investors grapple with the new reality of tariffs: Markets will digest this data and then adjust for tariffs.

3-3-25 Will Markets March Ahead?
Will Donald Trump's Crypto-reserve translate into a boon for tech stocks and cryptocurrencies? The Atlanta Fed GDP shows negative growth: This does not mean recessionary. Front loading of purchases ahead of tariff imposition will result in pullback from anticipated purchasing later in the year, affecting profits. March is a seasonally strong month. A look at the market rally and rotation trades; the economy is not bad, but pullbacks are coming from DOGE cuts in government spending and job losses, and the impact of fewer immigrants for hiring. (Where are most jobs now being created?) The Chicago Fed National Activity Index is in contraction. Removing government bloat is not without consequence. Don't under-estimate the impact of government policy and hiring on the economy. Lance next discusses the elevated risk appetite of Gen-X investors, who have never known anything but an ever-climbing market climate; the impact of financial crisis & dealin with risk. Lance reviews his essay, "CAPE-5: A Different Measure of Valuation." Valuations reflect sentiment; is "easy-street" for investors coming to an end? SEG-1: Trump's Crypto Reserve: Rally in Tech?

3-3-25 Negative Sentiment will Fuel Market Rally
Welcome to the month of March, which tends to be a seasonally-stronger month of the year (November-May). March and April tend to be the stronger months among these. The last half of February was not a very pleasant experience. February re-balancing of pension funds resulted in a good bit of buying at the end of the day on Friday, providing a nice recovery off support. There has been extremely negative investor sentiment, and markets have been very over sold. This month will also see end-of-quarter re-balancing, and so markets are set up for a pretty good set up for a short-term, counter-trend rally. The negative sentiment that drove investors to sell will now become the fuel to spark a rally.

Rich & Matt share thoughts about the late Gene Hackman, followed by market commentary and Bitcoin's behavior: It's NOT a diversifier, but quite speculative. Observations about market performance during the first year of a new presidency. Rich shares his childhood wardrobe prompts (Gene Hackman), and talks PCE preview and the price of eggs. A look at the Social Security Fairness Act provisions that appear to provide back pay to some retirees, effective immediately. Some are in for a windfall as a result of the elimination of the Windfall Elimination Provision in the Social Security Fairness act. Rich and Matt discuss Social Security Reform Updates, Windfall Elimination Provision is Explained, along with Government Pension Offset Changes, and how some retiree benefits could increase almost immediately. A few choice words about the SSA and IRS computer systems. Health is connected to wealth; the Taste of Texas acquires an amazing artifact; Lance publishes his tome on CAPE-5 Valuation.

2-27-25 Nvidia Beats - What Now?
Earnings season is all but done after last night's Q4 Report from Nvidia, which beat estimates, but did not inspire markets. The next dynamic to affect markets will be the closing of the buy back window ahead of Q2 Earnings reporting season. Investor behavior and market psychology is as bearish as ever. We're now seeing risk-off rotation; Lance revisits the effective use of stop-loss settings, and the importance of allowing market activity to mature. Nvidia underwhelms despite beating estimates; this is why fundamentals matter. Could Nvidia become the next "cash cow," a la Apple? RIP, Gene Hackman. Lance and Michael discuss creating liquidity out of debt, and the Fed's Reverse Repo tool. Recent Fed minutes hint at tweaking liquidity ahead of debt ceiling adjustments. Investor psychology and levels of bearishness not unlike pre-crash mentality. This may be the year with high volatility and markets go nowhere. How to be more rational? Adjust views of markets in varying time-spans (weekly, monthly) vs hourly and daily. Double-down or get out? Avoid anchoring on purchase price.

2-27-25 Markets Set Up to Rally
Markets broke the 100-DMA again Wednesday morning, but closed back above it by the end of the day. This illustrates the wisdom of allowing markets to mature before making any knee-jerk response (see today's Daily Market Commentary). We've had a very small correction, and markets are getting over sold, sentiment is very negative, and on a contrarian basis, we're getting set up for a pretty decent rally over the next couple of weeks. Too much negative bias generally turns into a market reaction which reverses that sentiment. Meanwhile, Bonds have enjoyed a nice rally, with a near 8% lead over stocks so far this year, but we're expecting a pullback as economic data continues to weaken. Bitcoin yesterday challenged its 200-DMA, and bounced off; think of Bitcoin as a proxy for risk. While the S&P has had a 3% decline, Bitcoin has had a 15% drop. A rally in Bitcoin would serve as a risk-on proxy, and translate back into higher prices for the S&P 500.

2-26-25 How to Avoid An Inheritance Nightmare
It's Nvidia Day today; no matter what happens on Wall Street, tomorrow's activity will hinge on tonight's report. PCE revealed on Friday: This is the one the Fed watches, and it's expected to be weaker. Interestingly, Bonds have outperformed stocks, YTD, so far. Lance discovers RentTheChicken.com; hilarity ensues. Markets take out the 100-DMA, but rally forward; a discussion on stop-losses and knee-jerk reactions. Lance and Jonathan discuss their wives' proclivities based on the latest TikTok video: Chickens, fainting goats, and ducks. Lance and Danny share their ideas for a faux FB page to influence their spouses' buying habits. The Nvidia story: Is AI going to be "the next Internet?" Nvidia's forward guidance tonight will be all that matters. Lance and Danny discuss the consequences of improper estate planning; dealing with mortality. The interpretation of Consumer Confidence Surveys: what's the database? They're more a sample of psychology than economics; the economy IS slowing, but it's not recessionary, but more of a return to pre-pandemic "normal." What is the impact of Federal employee firings? Drill-down into the data; What is the source? Sentiment surveys and expectations are skewed by political preferences. The concern about tariffs: Can companies pass along the increased costs to consumers?

2-26-25 Markets are Due for a Rally
Markets on Tuesday took out the 100-DMA, and lots of stop-loss levels were triggered. But, the markets actually closed for the day ABOVE the 100-DMA, and the lesson is to allow markets to mature before making moves when stop loss levels are broken. We're still in favor of selling into rallies to reduce portfolio risk. The market is getting decently over sold with four straight days of selling; so we're due for a day or two of Rally, but that may be truncated...if Nvidia lays and egg tonight, that could certainly weigh on markets tomorrow. We are in a corrective process; this is going to take a little time. (Bonds actually have a larger year-to-date gains than does the stock market at this point.)

2-25-25 Estimates By Analysts Have Gone Parabolic
The Chicago Fed's National Activity Index falls to -4.3: Looks like the data is catching up with reality. Excess Savings Metric: Most are in no better financial shape than before the pandemic; implications to companies' earnings that the bottom 90% are beginning to struggle. Markets challenged the 50-DMA and failed on Monday; likely to be in a corrective phase for a while. "If I were President, the first thing I would do..." Lance and Jonathan solve all problems: Cleaning up D.C. first, and the changes are not going to be without pain. Analysts are extremely optimistic in their earnings estimates for 2026; investors should be careful about over-paying for stocks priced based on these estimates. What Valuation really means: Sentiment. The Schiller CAPE Ratio vs Lance's 5-yar CAPE Ratio (coming attraction!) Investing like Tiger-21 investors: High Net-worth investors' portfolio allocations; key to success is in assets that are not correlated to smooth out volatility. What is true diversification. Why NOT put assets (Gold, Real Estate) into an IRA? Lance and Jonathan provide sound advice here. Is the DOGE Dividend a good idea? Better ways to maximize fat-cutting savings without igniting more inflation.

2-25-25 Markets In Corrective Phase
Markets on Monday challenged the 20-DMA and failed, clawing its way back towards the 50-DMA until the last 15-minutes of the day. Then the Institutions kicked-in, and dumped holdings. Money flows remain positive for now, but are trending negatively as money comes out of the markets. That's corresponding with the selling we're seeing now, and it appears markets will be in a corrective phase for at least the next couple of weeks. We expect markets will try to challenge the 100-DMA before the end of the week. However, data points to be released this week could give markets room to rally: Nvidia reports earnings on Thursday, and on Friday the PCE report is revealed. (If Nvidia has a positive report, and PCE comes in cooler, relieving pressure on the Fed, these could serve as catalysts for markets to rally.) When the bounce occurs, use it to reduce risk.

2-24-25 New Coronavirus Discovery Shakes Markets
Lance has come up with a new business model for a Help Desk subscription service. It works on anything. The problem with margin debt; there's no appetite for IPO's. What Wall st. is doing instead. market sell off on Friday more the result of volatility around options expiration than Wuhan Lab news of the second coming of Covid. Don't expect any reflex rally today to hold. Economic indicators continue to hint at weaknesses; be aware of the content feeding sentiment surveys. There is a Republincan and Democrat dynamic to the data and its interpretation. Two expectations feed into term Prieum. Coming this week: The second revision to Q4 GDP (as oppoased to China's one-and-done reporting. Or else.) PCE inflation report preview. Will markets ever never focus on Data next-day-ism? (no.) Lance recounts his first exposure to investing, 'Learning from Mr. Lehman." Reading the WSJ, the news was days-old, and average stock holiding period was 7-years; contrast with velocity of information today, and average stock holding period not is 4-months. Markets have become like casinos (and the house always wins). What does all of this have to do with marging debt? Short-termism & Market casinos: knowing the rules. Maring debt vs stock prices. The velocity of increase in margin debt is alarming: It provides buying power on the way up, but also adds fuel for selling power on the way down. Margin calls create mandatory selling.

2-24-25 Can Markets' Reflex Rally Hold?
Markets had a nice, 1.7% selloff on Friday which brought the market back to the 50-DMA, and also triggered a MACD sell signal. There were two catalysts in play: It was an options expiry, which added volatility to markets, and there was a midday announcement from Wuhan, China of a new, second strain of the coronavirus, which triggered a form of PTSD in markets. We all remember 2020 and the previous COVID catastrophe. But the sell-off was not unexpected following markets' run up of late. Futures this morning are positive, but our suspicion is that any reflexive rally off the 50-DMA probably will not hold.

2-20-25 Why Bitcoin Will Not Replace the Dollar
he latest Fed Meeting Minutes are out with a bit of insight; Trump's economic policies appear to be deflationary, as consumer strength is weakening; WalMart and Costco are tempering their forward guidance in anticipation. Palantir CEO is selling LOTS of shares as the Defense Dept. is being pushed by DOGE to cut spending. Market pullbacks may offer investors' opportunity; markets continue to do well, but there's a dichotomy between weighted indexes and those with less concentration of Mag-7 stocks. Money flows are still positive, with a surge into the survivors of the SPAC craze phase: More speculative mood. And then there's the "Alien ETF..." Can the Fed stop QT while debt ceiling is under consideration; the the Fed isn't saying about driving liquidity by pausing QT. Cane's vs KFC (we're now identifying generational preferences for fried chicken??) Is the Fed handcuffing itself with the stickiness of inflation vs rising yields? The Fed is setting its own trap with no two-way street on interest rates. Why the Fed needs to keep its mouth shut! The US dollar is the only lawful money in the United States. While some think Bitcoin can supplant the dollar, they fail to acknowledge that it has significant flaws, which we believe are critical to understanding why Bitcoin should not be lawful money. Lance and Michael discuss Bitcoin vs US Dollar, Cryptocurrency and Fiat Currency, and the concept of Bitcoin as Legal Tender, plus the future of Bitcoin and USD, and Digital Currency vs Traditional Money. Why Bitcoin will not replace the Dollar; the supply of money is important; the issue of value volatility: Bitcoin pricing is not dependable. To have a dynamic economy, a dynamic currency is required; Dollars still make the world go round. Currency must correlate with markets.

2-20-25 Weighted Indexes Drive Markets Once Again
Markets continue to do well, clearly breaking out to new highs, but are now becoming somewhat overbought. At this point, a bit of a correction/consolidation would be no surprise. But...while the S&P is breaking out, the NASDAQ is just challenging all time highs, not quite making its own break out. Money flows are fine, however. The equal-weighted index is also lagging the S&P, and it appears we're where we were last year with weighted indexes driving markets (those equal-weighted indexes have less of the Mag-7 in them). The performance gap between the two indexes is about 10%. The same dynamic exists for the IWM/Russell 2000, with a big cap between that index and large cap stocks. While International stocks have enjoyed a huge surge since the beginning of the year, they are still way off their previous highs in October 2024. And the same applies for Emerging Markets. While there are opportunities, be careful of the narratives.

2-19-25 What You Should Do with a Severance Package
The New York Fed Reports an improving economy, and Nvidia cues up its next quarterly report after recovering from the DeepSeek dip. The Fed is on hold, and positive money flows abound on Wall Street. There are no real indicators we're on the cusp of destruction...for now. 2026 EPS estimates are insanely optimistic. Markets pull out another all-time high on Tuesday afternoon. What is the Economy? As thousands of government workers are being invited to leave, and Chevron offers severance packages to a swath of its employees, what's the best strategy if you're offered an opportunity to retire? Take a lump-sum or annuitize the dollars? Lance Roberts and Danny Ratliff offer helpful suggestions if you're facing "permanent furlough" with severance package advice and suggestions on how to invest severance pay; how to manage a severance package and severance pay tax strategies; and, what to do after job layoff. The DOGE deep dive into Social Security is getting interesting. Should SS benefits be taxed or not? How to best reform SS? Lance's pre-ski vacation diet and more discussion on the proper way to reform and sustain Social Security. Reports on 401k plan participation are deceiving.

2-19-25 All-Time Highs Generate All-Time Highs
Markets traded very sloppily Tuesday...until the last 15-minutes of the day: Buys rushed into the markets, pushing up to another, new, all-time high. Can markets hold? Will they continue to build on yesterday's breakout? Typically, all time highs generate more all time highs; it's all about momentum. The MACD did not trigger a sell signal, and it's still on a "buy." Relative strength is starting to move up, but not over sold, yet, and money flows continue to be positive. Presently, there is no reason to be overly bearish in the market as the trend continues higher, at least for the short term. Also, we are still within the seasonally-strong period of the year. Price compression to the buy side continues. We suggest continuing to manage risk, and use opportunities to rebalance portfolios.

2-18-25 Retail Exuberance Sets Up Market for Correction
It is the 90th anniversary of the establishment of Social Security; amazingly, some recipients over the age of 150 are apparently still receiving benefits (!). Could there be a clue here on how to help shore up the fund? Just sayin... Nvidia earnings are on the way; Meta has and a 20-day winning streak, not one down day for the pat6 20-trading days. Its performance as one of the Mag-7 stocks is what has helped, in part, keep markets elevated. The market defies more negative news because retail investors continue to step in and "buy the dip." In our recent Bull Bear reports, we discussed the push by retail investors, but looking at retail sentiment is quite remarkable. Since the pandemic, retail investors have never been this bullish on the stock market. Such is amazing, given that their mailboxes are not being stuffed with government stimulus checks." Retail investors are expected to become more bullish about increasing equity exposure when markets rise. However, the more extended markets become, the more confident investors are about increasing speculative risk. In other words, "success breeds confidence." Lance reviews the dynamic between margin debt and free cash (w/charts); Lance and Jonathan examine the in's and out's of private equity fund investing; a discussion of the 60/40 portfolio rule viability; FOMO vs the fear of loss.

2-18-25 Too Much Money Chasing Too Few Assets
Markets closed on Friday at all-time highs, with positive money flows, and a buy signal in place. Markets are up 5% for the year following a sloppy start in January. We have a lot of retail exuberance in the markets, and correlations are starting to all go to One. There is too much money chasing too few assets, and that dynamic is lifting all stocks. Emerging markets and international have performed similarly so far this year; however, be careful of the hype. These markets have not broken out of their long-term channel for the past five years. Emerging markets are still lower than they were back in 2021. The question remains: Can these markets actually play catch up to the US?

2-13-25 Inflation On the Rise: What Does it Mean?
Lance's Valentine's Day PSA (the short version) & Jerome Powell's annual Congressional testimony: Everything is volatile; headline generator. Cracks in the economy are emerging: Jobs numbers are full of "seasonal adjustments:" Indicators that employment and Labor Market are weakening. The impact of hot CPI: Markets hold support and price compression; in a wait-and-see mode. Trump reciprocal tariffs coming. Lance & Michael discuss where inflation comes from (with charts!), noting that January numbers generally tend to run "hot." The second half of February tends to be weak. Jerome Powell's annual congressional testimony: The Fed does not control mortgage rates (but the Fed DOES have mortgage-backed securities on its balance sheet).

2-13-25 Will Reciprocal Tariffs Sink the Ship?
How did markets respond to a hotter-than-expected CPI print? As predicted, markets did open sharply lower...but, buyers immediately stepped into the markets, pushing prices higher and closing above the 20- and 50-DMA. Markets did not, however, break out of an ever-compressing price range. As investors began to digest the CPI components, it became clear things weren't as bad as first thought. So the consolidation range continues to hold as markets remain in a 'wait-and-see' mode. Trump's reciprocal tariffs are also ramping up the risk for a global tit for tat. Raising prices of goods companies buy may not be able to be passed along to consumers, affecting bottom line results.

2-12-25 CPI Day
Today's market activity will hing upon this morning's CPI Print (which showed consumer prices rising higher than expected). WEven more telling will be tomorrow's PPI numbers showing input costs. The question to be answered by investors is what the trend of inflation is, and what the Fed will do next. Will companies be able to pass along higher costs to consumers? What is driving inflation? Oil price increases are a short-term indicator, but have a 90-lag in data. Lance delivers his annual Valentine's Day Public Service Announcement. Lance and Danny review questions from this past weekend's Candid Coffee episode [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy0IzfJ7fkI&list=PLVT8LcWPeAugq7q4XzOcad3oSN5Z1Zd-Z&index=1&t=95s]: Outisde of treasuries and US government bonds, there are no "safe" investments.

2-12-25 Markets' Response to CPI
Markets will have a big response to today's CPI Print (hotter-than expected 3.0%) because it's all about what the Fed will do next. Markets have been in a "hang out and wait" mode for the past few weeks, working thru a consolidation range. Headlines about DeepSeek or Tariffs really haven't had much effect, although there has been much rotation in and out of sectors within the market. Markets are expected to move to the downside if CPI is too hot, or move to the upside if CPI cools. Markets still enjoy good support at the 20- and 50-DMA, but there's also overhead resistance at about 6100.

2-11-25 FOMO is Alive & Well
Markets are coming to grips with that Trump Tariffs really mean, and are adapting through sector rotations. Lance & Jonathan discuss the prices of eggs & milk and grocery dates. The market defies more negative news because retail investors continue to step in and "buy the dip." Retail sentiment is quite remarkable. Since the pandemic, retail investors have never been this bullish on the stock market. Such is amazing, given that their mailboxes are not being stuffed with government stimulus checks. Lance and Jonathan discuss FOMO investing trends from the stock market's fear of missing out, a look at the best stocks for FOMO investors, and how to avoid investment FOMO; a look at market bubbles and investor psychology, and we'll also cover questions we didn't get to on last Saturday's Candid Coffee episode.

2-11-25 Are Investors Exhausted?
Markets rallied again on Monday, but the trend is for lower highs and lower lows. While the market, per se, is not "bearish" at this point, this pattern that is developing certainly has some bearish tendencies. This would suggest some exhaustion in the markets, despite positive money flows (which are declining). The last half of February, statistically, is typically fairly weak. So, these developing patterns would suggest seeing some weakness in the markets over the next couple of weeks. The S&P 100-DMA is sitting at 5900 with its pullback from 6000; that's going to awaken investors, given the amount of FOMO on Wall Street of late. There is nothing overly concerning that would trigger making any radical portfolio changes, but the creeping in of weakness should not be ignored. The US Dollar is very close to triggering a buy signal following its correction. If you haven't liked the way your portfolio has been performing recently, now would be a good time to take a critical look at rebalancing risk.

2-10-25 The Super Bowl Indicator
Sunday's Super Bowl LIX delivered a lickin' to Kansas City at the hands of Philadelphia; what does the "Super Bowl Indicator" portend for markets (and does it really matter) Lance Roberts examines the veracity of the Super Bowl Indicator and other Stock market predictions, Financial market trends, Investment strategies, and Economic indicators. We also address the threatened Trump Tariffs next on Aluminum & Steel: more sticks & carrots? Lance recaps his visit to Vancouver and assessment of Canadian healthcare, UK healthcare, and the level and accessibility of healthcare in the US. Commentary on Media bias and the importance for investors to recognize it as such, and not be misled. The issue of employment reports & revisions thereof; Lance's flight to Vancouver (not being deported); will corporations be able to pass along higher costs due to tariffs on Aluminum and steel? The issue of consumer choice (and how ChatGPT is wrong about tariffs). Lance's earnings roundup, S&P's 2026 Earnings Forecast, and why valuations continue to rise; understanding PE and PEG.

2-10-25 Fight the Urge to Do Something Now
Markets continue pattern of Friday sell-off, setting lower highs and lower lows, creating a declining trendline channel. There are still reasons to be cautious; earnings reporting will lessen this week, as buybacks resume. Market consolidation is healthy, with nothing really negative going on. We are close to triggering a short term MACD sell signal. So long as money flows remain positive, markets should retain their current range of support. This is a time for patience; fight the urge to "do something."

2-6-25 Where Money Comes From
Markets remain in a bullish trend for the moment, despite disappointing economic news in the Trade Deficit and the ISM Services Index. Improving relative strength is also providing lift for the market. Technically, everything is fine despite disappointing news from AMD, Google, and others. Money flows continue to creep upward with continued buying. Lance and Michael spend the remaining segments of the show discussing money, currencies, and concepts of money supply management: All money is lent into existence. The Federal Reserve or the government does not print money. Those two facts are vital to understanding our lead question: where does money come from? Furthermore, knowing who does and doesn't print money and the incentives and disincentives that change the money supply are critical to inflation forecasting. On this morning's episode, Lance and Michael share how money is created, monetary policy and Federal Reserve money supply are explained, along with the Banking system and money creation. Understanding Fiat Currency; ; the theory of BitCoin value; the hyper-inflation of the Weimar Republic; currency vs money. Understanding the "plumbing" of money, and how deficit spending has helped buoy the economy. What is the most readily-accepted medium of exchange = The Dollar (not gold). How high-income earners invest into assets.

2-6-25 Markets Continue to Defy Disappointing News
Markets rallied off support at the 20-DMA and 50-DMA's and had a nice finish for the day. That kept from triggering a MACD Sell Signal, so markets remain in a bullish trend for the moment. Improving relative strength is also providing lift for the market. Technically, everything is fine despite disappointing news from AMD, Google, and others. Money flows continue to creep upward with continued buying. There was a sharp upswing in AMD buying, even though the stock was down. Will there be carry-through in the semiconductor space? The latest economic data has also been helping the Bond market, with Ten-year Treasury yields dropping sharply through the 20-DMA and 50-DMA based on Trade Deficit and ISM Services Index numbers suggesting the economy is weaker than thought. The apparent trend seems to be for a continuation of slowing economic news, and the next test for Yields will be at around 4.2% or 4.3%.

2-5-25 If Volatility is Causing Too Much Worry, You Have Too Much Risk
Markets enjoyed a nice rally Tuesday after Monday's tariff-inspired action, closing right at the 50-DMA. the 20-DMA is about to bullishly cross above the 50-DMA, suggesting markets are still trending, and money flows are still coming into the markets fairly well. Markets today need to hold support at the 50-DMA so they can push onward and upward. If, however, the market closes lower today, watch for a MACD sell signal to be triggered. We're about halfway through the correction from the post-inauguration rally. If the present volatility is weighing on you, then you've got too much risk in your portfolio. If your portfolio is allocated correctly, allow it to do its work for you.

2-4-25 Trade War is Over!
Well that was fast. Over the weekend, President Trump announced tariffs of 25% on both Canada and Mexico, as well as a 10% tariff on China. The announcement of tariffs set the market on its heels Monday morning as media writers quickly pushed narratives about the potential impacts. However, as suggested on the "Real Investment Show" before the market opened on Monday, the best thing to do would be "nothing." We stated the market's opening would likely be the worst level of the day, so any "panic selling" of positions early in the morning would likely be a mistake. Early in the day, both Canada and Mexico blinked, and the trade war the media predicted would cause a massive inflation surge was over before it started. The market immediately rebounded from the early morning lows, leaving "panic sellers" in the dust. Such is why it is crucial to turn off the media when managing your portfolio to reduce emotional mistakes. Meanwhile, markets are flirting with resistance, and need some muster to rally above the 50-DMA. Lance and Jonathan discuss how Trade Wars can generate buying opportunities; a look at the Palantir story; look for sell offs as opportunities to buy. Lance reviews past Trade War history of the S&P (charts); volatility will result as trade wars are waged. Potential effects of a China trade war. Managing portfolios with concentrated stock holdings; the value of diversification. Commentary on NFIB and CEO Confidence surveys: Sentiment vs data.

2-4-25 Will Markets Rally Back Above the 50-DMA?
Money flows continue to be positive, despite all the negative headlines and news over the past couple of weeks. Admittedly, this is part of the overall cycle, with markets over bought and now going through a corrective phase. Halfway through a recovery, we're near the trigger point for a short-term sell signal, with only a little downside pressure. A consolidation is not surprising at this juncture. Also, we're midway through earnings season, and next week will see the buy back window open much wider. Markets today will once again flirt with the 20- and 50-DMA; markets need some "muster" to rally back above the 50-DMA to keep support intact. There is a decent possibility markets could fail at this current resistance level and retest the 100-DMA...not outside the norm for the "weaker" month of February.

2-3-25 Markets Down in Response to Tariffs
Markets have been doing "okay" as of late, in a large trading range for past couple of months. Markets will open today below the 20-DMA in a knee-jerk open in response to President Trump's promise over the weekend to impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico. We'll be watching for signs of the market processing the news, and see where things stabilize later in the day. This is a day to Do Nothing, and wait for the dust to settle, just like last Monday. We close to triggering a sell signal. Markets have been in a consolidation range, with no reason to be concerned so long as trading remains within a broad banded trading range. Watch for a pick up in volatility, just like last Monday. Also worth watching today is the Tariff impact on the Dollar and countries anticipate the effects on currency exchanges. Remember, a strong Dollar = Monetary tightening, which will impact markets as well.

1-30-25 The Fed Holds Firm
It's the end of the month, and the determining day for the January Barometer is tomorrow. Markets knee-jerked all over the board following yesterday's Fed announcements to hold firm at current rates. Economic news was not encouraging, with export up, imports down, suggesting the economy is weaker than thought; labor and demand dynamics. There is a lot of speculative money pouring into markets; nobody is buying stocks anymore. It's all in options, which will end badly for many because it's very speculative. Lance recounts the latest reports from Magnificent-7 member companies; Michael explores data center dynamics, the DeepSeek effect of cheaper processing, and Tesla's big plans. An admonition to be careful about following headlines; the one thing China is good at: Stealing the work of others'. Lance's favorite day is Thursday; economic data is not good; what the Fed thinks now and commentary on Labor; What the Atlanta Fed said; trying to control inflation from the Executive Branch. How did DeepSeek do it? Michael preaches on the fallacy of Meme Coins, and why they're destroyers of wealth; the role of influencers.

1-30-25 Why Options Data is Off the Hook
This has been a week full of headlines, between the Fed meeting and the whole DeepSeek story, lots of panic and concerns were generated. Markets really haven't done a whole lot this week. Retail investors bought heavily into Monday's dip. But nobody really buys stocks anymore: Retail investors are piling into options at a pace not seen before. Most of the options are call options; investors are fully long on this market. FOMO is now a function of not missing the bottom. A lot of the money being put into the markets is very speculative, and that's not something many will survive on a sharp downturn.

1-29-25 Watching the Mega-Cap Earnings Parade
Today is Mega-cap earnings Day, and there's also a lot of economic data to be revealed. Plus, this afternoon will see the latest announcement from the Federal Reserve. Expectations are for the Fed to hold firm on rates this time. Interestingly, despite Monday's selloff, money flows have continued to come into the markets. In fact, on Tuesday (1/28) the QQQ had its biggest inflow since 2021. Monday's market action was NOT the watershed event the bears were trying to make it out to be. Markets are not overbought yet; we're still on a solid buy signal. That's not to say a pullback can't happen; remember the lesson from December...and why it's important to pay attention to money flows, either direction. Educational scores in America and the AI race; IBM, Meta, Microsoft, & Tesla to report this afternoon: What will be IBM's excuse for missing estimates? By next Friday, 80% of S&P companies will have reported, and their earnings will drive volatility over the next several days.

1-29-25 What Money Flows Are Telling Us
When money flows are positive, asset prices are supported; if money flows are negative, support is taken away. Understanding in which direction money flows are going will help you better determine where markets are going next. Interestingly, despite Monday's selloff, money flows have continued to come into the markets. In fact, on Tuesday (1/28) the QQQ had its biggest inflow since 2021. Monday's market action was NOT the watershed event the bears were trying to make it out to be. Markets are not overbought yet; we're still on a solid buy signal. That's not to say a pullback can't happen; remember the lesson from December...and why it's important to pay attention to money flows, either direction. Additionally, the Dollar is back on the march today, and Dollar strength has been one of the underpinnings of the market. We could be coming into another counter-trend rally in the Dollar, which could impact economic data and earnings forecasts.

1-28-25 The DeepSeek Knee Jerk
The race is on for dominance in the artificial intelligence arena with China's release of DeepSeek. Markets initially nose-dived Monday, but ended up slightly higher (with the exception of Nvidia). This volatility underlines the necessity for portfolio diversification. The pullback in an oversold market was not unexpected. The news resulted in the biggest single-day market cap loss for Nvidia, due in part to its massive market cap. Lance discusses what may be the positive results of thie "Sputnik moment" for the US. The markets' response also underscores the importance of Bonds in overall portfolio management. Lance & Jonathan discuss the fallacy of high-watermark comparisons in portfolios, and how to properly review portfolio performance. A discussion on how stocks are actually traded, on and off the exchanges, and the proper use of stop-loss settings in a portfolio.
