Markets Reach All-time High on Friday (1/22/24)

(1/22/24) Markets registered a new, all-time high on Friday...but, after two years, markets are only ahead .9%, barely above break-even, despite an amazing rally back from the lows of 2022. (If you were needing 6% year to make your nut, you still need a 12% gain from here to make up for losses.) New highs tend to beget new highs, and the question now is, 'how much higher' will we go before triggering a correction?

Debunking Davos' Bucketnomics (1/19/24)

(1/19/24) Richard and Danny debunk the just-concluded Davos World Economic Forum and the foolishness spewed therefrom, including "bucket-nomics." Davos, Schmavos.

The benefits of guaranteed income in retirement; Why Ken Fisher hates annuities: "stocks solve every problem?" The right way/wrong way to use annuities: Doing the annuity math. The pure definition of "annuity: Check for Life. The problem with Pension-linked Emergency Savings Accounts (PLEASA's).

Near-term Downside Risk to Gold Prices Surfaces (1/18/24)

(1/18/24) Market breadth has been good, so far this year; the number of stocks above their 50- and 200-DMA is still healthy, but declining. While markets did take out the 20-DMA yesterday, it's not hugely negative. We'll see if markets can rally back above the 20-DMA and negate the break. If we don't, the next test will be at the 50-DMA. Optimism is still good, positioning is still strong, and breadth is still decent. The Volatility Index has seen a pick up over the last few days. Put Option activity has increase, too, as investors begin to add on some additional protection. Bitcoin and its ETF's continues to be interesting; just not enough data yet to chart, however. Gold continues to grind sideways, not doing a lot. There is some near-term downside risk to Gold prices. Interest rates are moving back up after being very over sold; actually a healthy correction in interest rates. A decent point to add exposure is coming, likely around the 4.15 - 4.19% range on Ten-year Treasuries.

Will Chilly Weather Heat Up Economic Data? (1/17/24)

(1/17/24) Texas and most of the nation are thawing out from the latest polar vortex: How will this impact economic numbers with the additional spending/expenses associated with cold weather? Will there be a spike in economic activity? The latest fad for kids: Scrawlish is a "new" way to write (and looks suspiciously like shorthand). Markets continue to work off over bought conditions. A preview/review of Q4 earnings so for: How estimates have shifted; a realistic look at valuations with a historical context; the way markets work & the fallacy in financial media. The theme of this year's World Economic Forum, "Rebuilding Trust." Good luck with that. Retail banking is now a write off for the nation's Big Banks, of which only and handful now hold 80% of banking customers. Why a proposed "fix" for bank overdraft fees is a bad idea.

Will the Magnificent-7 be Magnificent Again? (1/17/24)

(1/17/24) Markets continue to do not a lot, trapped in a consolidation range since December. Most all of the trades in small-cap & mid-caps that were wrapping up the end of the year have pretty much 'given up the ghost.' Also, end of year rotations have finished, and money is going right back into stocks that were the winners last year, like NVDIA & AMD, and money is going back into the Magnificent-7 stocks. Will that scene be repeated this year?

How to Avoid the Retirement Income Death Spiral (1/12/24)

(1/12/24) Prepping for the Freeze, Earnings Season is already getting ugly, and looking at alternatives to hedge funds.

Markets Prepare for the Q4 Earnings Parade (1/11/24)

(1/11/24) Q4 Earnings season commences next week on top of drastically lowered earnings estimates: Analysts have dropped their estimates by $8/share on average, dramatically lowering the bar for companies to clear in their quarterly reports. Additionally, analysts are expecting most of earnings growth this year to come from the Technology sector, with a little help from Healthcare. Meanwhile,. markets continue to trade sideways, yesterday touching December's highs, but rolled off by the end of the day; still, closing close to that level. Today's trading will hinge on this morning's .3% M/M increase in CPI, slightly hotter than expected, which could trigger some selling today as the Fed is anticipated to possibly walk-back it's bullish statements of late.

Markets Are in Limbo Working Through Correction (1/10/24)

(1/10/24) The market is holding above the 20-DMA, although futures are down-to-flattish ahead of today's open. Upside has been somewhat limited, but markets can work through a correctional process in two ways: 1.) Actually have a correction; 2.) work through a consolidation period in which the market just doesn't go anywhere, which is what is, and has been, going on over the past several weeks. This will allow for shorter-termed moving average to "catch up" with the market, and that limits downside risk. The more time spent trading side ways, the less downside draw is applied: Markets are now forming a base from which to launch higher.

Can Markets Defy Bearish Expectations (1/9/24)

1/9/24) Wall Street begins a new round of quarterly earnings, looking at the results of Q4; estimates for 2024 are allready falling. What are you really paying for earnings? Why we have to be in ETF's, even though we don't like them. There is evidence of an uptick in inflation this year. Markets miss achieving January Trifecta by .13%, despite tax gain selling pressure. Will January be similarly weak? We polled our viewers/listeners for their takes on what 2024 will hold: Polling the People includes commentary on S&P 500 Seasonality and bullish sentiment, and where the markets may end in 2024. There's an expectation for negative returns, higher inflation, slower economic growth and Real GDP; higher unemployment, higher interest rates, and the odds for recession.

Markets Missed It "By That Much" (1/9/24)

ng with a gain, despite an immense amount of selling pressure. What does that mean for markets for the future? Technically, if the first five days of January are negative, so will the rest of the month AND the year play out, resulting in lower returns. But not always. Statistically speaking, this generally holds true, but anything can happen. And consider, we're only about 1% from all time highs in the market, so this all does not necessarily mean the market cannot turn around.

Keep An Eye on Bankruptcies (1/8/24)

(1/8/24) What is up with airplane parts falling off in flight? Meanwhile, the first private sector lunar lander is launched in decades: The beauty behind "Hidden Figures" movie; looks like the January Trifecta could be short-lived; working off December's excesses. How deep will the pullback be? Congress' is enmeshed with another continuing resolution battle instead of mandated budgeting; that's how D.C. does business now. The conundrum of capital allocations in 2024: Wall St. doubles-down on bonds; will the Magnificent-7 lead again, or will last year's underperformers? What if interest rates come down but inflation stabilizes at 3%? no push for the Fed to act (not what's expected). What about the "in-between outcome?" Audacy bankruptcy and how best to spend ad dollars; broadcast vs social media. Keep an eye on bankruptcies; markets are now completely discounting recession, even though the risk remains.

Bullish Sentiment Continues to Reverse (1/8/24)

(1/8/24) The axiom, "as goes the first five days of January, so goes the month," could prove ominous for investors unless markets can rally past where we were at the close of December. And there is a decent, 40% correlation between negative January's and negative years. Not EVERY year works out this way, however. (At the time of this recording, Dow futures were down 150-pts head of the open.) Markets broke below the 20-DMA on Friday, and technical indicator show markets are still overbought. Some of the bullish sentiment is beginning to reverse as markets continue to work it off; a better opportunity to put capital to work is coming. Patience pays.

The Fed seems to be looking for moderation to keep things from getting out of control. The Fed is alluding to seeing something no one else does, but not saying what.

Will Sector Rotation Be the Theme for 2024? (1/4/24)

(1/4/24) Santa failed to deliver his rally to Broad & Wall by definition, with the declines in the last three trading days taking out all the gains built up before the end of 2023. So what happens next? Markets are still set up for a bit more correction, still sitting on a solid sell signal. Markets are finally starting to work off their over bought conditions, which could create a bounce. The question then becomes whether markets can get their feet back under themselves. This could keep pressure on markets over the next few days. The correction, however, is providing a better opportunity to put capital to work. The number of stocks trading above their 50-DMA is still high, so there is still room for reversions, particularly in stocks that did well last year.

The MACD sell signal was triggered, and there is evidence to suggest even lower prices to come. Markets are working on a break in the uptrend, and there is the possibility of a bigger correction, perhaps down to 4,500. Patience is the watchword this week, as a better buying opportunity emerges.

Market Returns Reset to Zero (1/2/24)

(1/1/24) Market returns start at zero today, as trading commences for a new year. (BTW, benchmarking is a terrible way to manage money.) The rally into the end of the year as nine-weeks long; that's extraordinary, and should be a reminder that a correction is more and more likely after such a long run of back-to-back gains. The current Santa Clas Rally will officially continue thru the first two trading days of January (today & tomorrow). Markets are very overbought at this point. We'd wait a bit before allocating money; a better trading opportunity may lie ahead. The MACD Buy-sell signal is very over-bought, and about to trigger a sell signal. There is now a negative divergence between the market and the relative strength index, which has been declining even as the market has continued to rise. This typically doesn't last for very long, heralding a correction, which would create a better opportunity to reallocate funds.

The Dash for Trash: FOMO & The Bandwagon Effect (12/21/23)

(12/21/23) It's the final live-show of 2023: We look at New Year's market indicators, the Super Bowl & the Bandwagon Effect; someone will be wrong next year. Economic data is starting to improve, which will be problematic for the Fed. The "worst market sell-off since September(!)" Simmer down; this has been expected. Market gains were "Gone in 120-minutes," less time than the movie. The dash for trash: FOMO & the bandwagon effect. What does the Fed know that they're not telling? Some turbulence ahead: Expect a soft landing to be "bumpy." Headwinds will come from the lag effect of the Fed's liquidity injections. Watch for volatility, epecially if the Fed has to raise rates to combat rising inflation; what happened to home sales? From Enron to the SPAC's: Where were the auditors?

Market Correction Finally Comes (12/21/23)

(12/21/23) Markets had come so much so far from September, that a correction, in the form of Wednesday's sell-off, was completed anticipated and long-overdue. What caused the sell-off? Who knows? Sometimes, you don't need a reason any more than someone saying, 'That's it; I'm out,' and the stapeded for the day ensues. An entire week's worth of gains was wiped out in under two hours: Gone in 120-minutes (which is shorter than the movie!) There's no real risk here; just a healthy correction that was needed.

Why Large Caps Will Lead in 2024 (12/20/23)

(12/20/23) Could small caps take the lead over large caps in 2024? Not necessarily. A look at the S&P over the past twenty years, the rate of growth has been 320%. A comparison with the IWM, the blend of small- and mid-caps, is up only 263% for the same long-term period. And for long-term investors, this is an important difference.

(12/19/23) Markets are winding-down to the Christmas hoiday; trading volumes will be light. We've seen record inflows to S&P 500 ETF's as markets have rallied = too much exuberance. Forgetting the basisc: Buy under-valued, sell over-valued. How the Dollar drives markets. Counting out the 12-days of Christmas: Why so many birds? Sell cash, buy stocks, as Powell pivots; how government intervention (the Fed) affects investor psychology: Did we get our money's worth? Where did all that money go?? the disconnect of markets from the economy; market rescues funded on debt. Pre-market commentary; holiday spending: more money, less stuff; Lance's weekend on the border; earnings preview: Shipping & freight commentary; don't expect a big crash. Yet. Unexpected, exogenous events are catalysts of catastrophe.

What a Dollar Rally Could Do for the Markets (12/19/23)

(12/19/23) It's interesting to note the asset classes that have been driving the markets' rally since early November: the Dollar weakened as markets surged. Now with expectations for stronger economic growth in 2024, and the dollar is a reflection of such activity, would a dollar rally tend to pull money out of markets..and could that be one of the catalysts for a market correction in 2024?

Has Market Exuberance Gotten Out of Hand? (12/18/23)

(12/18/23) It's the week before Christmas and on Broad & Wall, though Lance's shopping list is empty, he's not hitting the mall! Did markets mistake what Jerome Powell really said last week? The current market rally is long in the tooth: 7-weeks running a buying stampede; correction is inevitable. 46% of S&P is at all-time highs. Will markets drift higher through the end of the year?

The Fed Pivots (12/14/23)

(12/14/23) Throwing caution to the wind, a dovish FOMC takes the bearish stance away from markets; markets are forming a cup-and-handle pattern, suggesting a rally to record-highs; but that does not preclude a 3- to-5% correction. Bond yields are to fall. Out of control tipping; how the Fed trained investors to expect backup; the Fed's pivot to dovishness: What do they know that we do not? The benefits of lower rates vs risk of more inflation; financial conditions are easing. Look for a huge short-cover rally, and then get ready for correction. But first, more record-highs. Bullish vs bearish commentary; a look at the FRED database; the key phrase is "effective rate." Excess liquidity is leaving the system; where will the Fed turn when it needs more money? THe Fed is still doing QT, reducing liquidity. Economic data remains weak; is the Fed attempting to micro-manage the economy to a soft-landing? The Fed really doesn't know what it's doing.

The Santa Claus Rally Arrives Ahead of Schedule (12/14/23)

(12/14/23) Wednesday's (12/13) FOMC meeting took the bearish bias off the markets. Markets are currently extremely over bought; everything is pegged in terms of bullishness: Retail Investor Sentiment is extremely bullish with 90% of stocks being above their 50-DMA. Historically, such conditions have invariably resulted in correction, but that doesn't mean it has to happen right away. And, after a few weeks of consolidation without a correction, Santa has arrived early, and markets are off to the races, thanks to the Fed's dovish stance. Markets are now within a couple percentage points of marking all-time highs, something which we think may be achieved before Christmas. Meanwhile, Yields, which we have contended have been improperly priced, will likely take out the 200-DMA today on ten-year treasury yields. If you didn't lock in earlier opportunities in bonds, that window is gone.

The Elf on the Shelf explained; embodiment of The American Dream; cost now more than ever, unless you create it; what the American Dream is NOT; the value in learning a trade; defining your personal American Dream; how to beat the high cost of the American Dream (The Millionaire Next Door); baby cribs, diamond rings, & funeral costs.

Markets Haven't Generated Record Highs. Yet. (12/13/23)

(12/13/23) Markets are making new highs for this year but have not generated "record highs." Yet. All it would take is about another 150-points...don't see that happening today. Markets are still trying to recover all that was lost during 2022. Markets are very over bought at this point; but is the market unstoppable? Markets have to breathe; and historically, every time markets have been over bought, there has been some kind of correction. In a bull market those corrections are shorter, but in a bear market they're protracted. In a bull market they're not as deep: 3-5% vs 5-10% in a bear market. Investors may be tempted to jump now because it seems the market is unstoppable. It is, indeed, stoppable. Patience is the watch word at this point; let the markets come back to you.

Are Markets Front-running Rate Cuts? (12/12/23)

(12/12/23) It's CPI Day, and November inflation clocked-in at an expected rate of .1%, which now begs the answer to tomorrow's question: Will the Fed do? A review of market performance vs portfolio performance: What metric are you using to measure success? Market history vs current market dynamics, and the investor conundrum" How "this time" could very well be different. We have seen a classical conditioning of the markets: The Fed always comes to the rescue. All you need to know about QE from Ben Bernanke in 2010. Al Gore is up in arms over no elimination of fossil fuels (which are necessary for life as we know it). Tik-Tok news and "adult" discussions; Poll: Are economic conditions getting worse? Data sources. Composites of the CPI: What matters more--CPI or Core CPI (what the Fed looks at). Markets are betting the Fed is done...but, the Fed has not said: Wants lower asset prices, slower economic growth and higher unemployment and disinflation.

Is Measuring Markets By Equal-weighting Better? (12/12/23)

12/12/23) How can you accurately measure your portfolio performance when the "Magnificent 7" gaggle of stocks this year has literally domninated market performance metrics. Perhaps a better metric would be to compare against the RSP equal-weighted index. Markets do continue to run up: The S&P, Dow, & NASDAQ all over-bought; the Russell 2000 is also in rally mode, but somewhat weaker in performance. Volatility is very low at this point, but that could change with reduced trading aas the holidays draw near. Meanwhile, November CPI clocked-in at an expected .1% rate.

Ten Steps to Achieving the 'American Dream' (12/11/23)

(12/11/23) Friday's employment report was not great: comprised pf mostly striking workers returning to the job; factor out anomalies, and it was a very weak report: Weak enough for markets to hope for Fed to further pause rate hikes? What will the Fed say on Wednesday? The risk of correction from a hawkish Fed. Markets set new highs for 2023 but remain at zero for the past 22-months.

Markets Set New 2023 High (12/11/23)

(12/11/23) Markets have actually set a new high for the year, now up about 20% for 2023. Pretty amazing, considering markets haven't really gone anywhere over the past 22-months. Markets have had a zero rate of return; why is this important? If your financial plan calls for 6% growth annually, with zero gains over two years, you're 12% behind your goals. Only a handful of stocks have driven markets this year. Now, with a very overbought market, now at levels associated with short-term peaks, any trigger for selling could generate a substantial reaction. A pullback to 4,300 would not be surprising.

What the VIX is Saying

(12/7/23) As recently as October the Volatility Index (VIX) was rising, spurring concerns about super-bearish outcomes; and as the VIX was very extended, we were looking for a reversal in November that would correspond with a rally...and what a rally it was! But volatility has since evaporated, and has more recently turned up on a buy signal, suggesting a potential push higher over the next week or so: Lower prices = higher volatility. The question is, what piece of news (we're looking at YOU, Federal Reserve) might be the trigger for that increased volatility? Meanwhile, oil prices continue to climb, and are over sold by two standard deviations below the moving average. We think any reversal in oil prices probably won't happen until after December. And despite the recent rally in Bitcoin, it's technically very over bought, at three standard deviations above the long term moving averages. We're looking for a pull back to the mid-30's for a better entry point. The entire asset class is very speculative.
