Will the Fed Hike Rates Again This Week? (5/1/23)

(5/1/23) 64% of the S&P 500 have reported earnings, chalking up better-than-expected results (on lowered expectations; shocker), lifting markets heading into the weekend. The MACD buy-signal has turned up, but futures this morning are flat ahead of the open. Weekend news of First Republic Bank's failure and absorption by JP Morgan is keeping credit stress at a minimum. The Federal Reserve is expected to hike rates again this week, but the bigger news-driver will be what the FOMC says about future rate hikes and their outlook on the economy. Persistent, sticky inflation is not likely to allow the Fed to go dovish on rates. The idea of a Fed Pivot is being pushed out later in the year as economic data remains strong.

Microsoft & Apple to Expand Stock Buy-backs? (4/26/23)

(4/26/23) Microsoft and Google exceeded expectations in their latest earnings reports, providng some lift to markets after hours. Microsoft and Apple are now talking about expanding stock buy-backs, a big contributor to the goss advance of the markets. Since 2011, 40% of market advances have come from stock buy-backs. This also enhances companies' earnings per share look. Markets broke through the 20-DMA yesterday, and now are on sell signals across the board, suggesting lower prices over the next few weeks. Important to remember: With earnings coming in better-than-expected, those beats are are on significantly reduced levels of estimates from last years'. Slower earnings and slower economic environments will continue to weigh on stocks as we move in to summer.

Investing is like Chess: Thinking One Step Ahead (4/25/23)

(4/25/23) Joe Biden announces run for re-election, and markets continue regardless, awaiting the end of earnings season and the next Fed meeting.

Has It Really Been Such a Terrible Bear Market? (4/25/23)

(4/25/23) Has it really been sych a terrible bear market? Let's get some perspective: Most recently mkarets have enojyed anice rally from the mid-March lows; the current stall is no surprise; that's how markets work. Proximity to a MACD Sell signal now would suggest we're in for a down-ish period with some relaxation in the price advance. But, again, in perspective, markets are close to their highs for the year. The reality is, markets really haven't gone anywhere since October of last year, nor since the last couple of years. Remember that 30% decline when the pandemic began? Looks like only a blip in the grand scheme of things now because of the magnitude of the advance from that level. And from the Fed's perspective, the market is still well intact, which is why they're not very concerned about markets while continuing to raise interest rates. Investors would be well advised to remember where we came from; there is still some weakness in the markets, but on a longer term view, the bull market remains firmly intact.

Earnings Season Kicks-in to Top Gear (4/24/23)

(4/24/23) This will be a very important week for earnings outlooks, as well as how markets deem the rest of the year may go. The keys may be contained in the earnings statements by companies to be released this week. The MACD Buy signal is close to registering a sell signal, setting up markets for a pullback. Any correction we see over the next few weeks is likely to be fairly mild, and could provide a buying opportunity.

Word of the Day: "Rehypothecate" (4/20/23)

(4/20/23) Regional Banks seem to be fine as their earnings reports continue to roll-out this week, indicating the turmoil created around SVB and Credit Suisse were a one-off event, and not necessarily a systemic crisis. The interesting correlation between risk-on/risk-off rotation and market performance; we're looking for companies with poor earnings but good stock performance. Is the Worst behind us? Markets remain entrenched in a bullish trend. What can Transportation stocks tell us about the economy? Dow Theory as Economic Indicator; are "leading indicators" really leading? (Service Sector is lagging indicator vs Transportation as leading indicator). Our word of the day is "Rehypothecate." Inflation, Deflation vs Dis-inflation. M2 Money Supply as % of GDP; Money Supply + Velocity = Inflation. Is this time really different? Break-even inflation vs other asset classes. What is Break-even Inflation telling us now? Inflation is a function of demand; Break-even inflation is what the market thinks about inflation. Bank Earnings report indicate SVB was a one-off event; Zion's Bank missed estimates, but not fatally. Markets continue pattern of opening weak, finishing strong; not terrible, but not great, either. New Biden Administration rule requiring borrowers with excellent credit scores to pay a fee for subsidizing mortgages for borrowers with less-than-perfect scores!

Buy Signal Getting Long-in-the-Tooth (4/20/23)

(4/20/23) With the first week of Earnings Season pretty much in the bag, results have been pretty much what you'd expect: Beating estimates. But what about companies like Tesla and Netflix, who missed estimates, but for which stocks are not going down? The bullish momentum in the markets is supporting asset prices, regardless. The buy signal is now getting a bit long in the tooth, suggesting some weakness in the markets could show up by next week, and setting up for a pullback. Real Estate and Financials remain the most over-sold stocks; Energy, Healthcare, Utilities, and Technologies are over-bought relative to Real Estate and Financials. A dis-inflationary, slower-growth environment is going to be good for companies that have the ability to grow earnings, like Technology, Communications, and Staples. During a rotation in the markets, watch money moves from over-bought sectors to some of the most over-sold sectors because of the rotation from risk to safety.

Are Higher Prices on the Way? (4/19/23)

(4/19/23) As rolling events allow markets to absorb their effects, investors have enjoyed a primarily bullish trend over the past two years. That's why it is important to focus on what markets are doing vs what the headlines and media are telling us is going to happen. Markets tend to do the opposite of what everyone thinks is going to happen. This is why we watch the moving averages for defining trends in the market. The 40-WMA defines the difference between a bull and bear market. Technically, markets remain in a bullish trend right now, suggesting higher prices are coming later this year.

Volatility Index Sending a Message Not to Be Ignored (4/18/23)

(4/18/23) Despite all the negative rhetoric of late, markets continue to rally in a more bullish mode. Interestingly, the Volatility Index (VIX) is also sending a message not to be ignored. The VIX collapsed to close below 17 on Monday after eaching a high of 26 during the banking collapse fiasco. As a fear/greed gauge, the VIX is telling us investors aren't worried about a market crash, recession, or economic downturn at this point. Markets are pricing-in "no fear."

Why Hasn't the Fed Panicked Yet? (4/17/23)

(4/17/23) Earnings Season is underway, and the reports we receive from regional banks could reveal a more accurate picture of the economy from a localized perspective. CEO Confidence was not good at the end of 2022; what will Q-1 statements reflect? Markets continue trend of bottoming higher: Why? Liz Ann Sonders/Charles Schwab posits we are seeing a "rolling recession" instead of a sudden, bottom fall out recession. Why hasn't the Fed panicked yet? There aren't too many catalysts for market upside. The Rolling Recession is the result of markets processing and absorbing news as it comes. Retail Sales miss the mark for the first real hit to economic data' the consumer is under increasing stress. Major appliance sales drop as stimulus and cash evaporate, and consumption was pulled-forward. The battle of Supply & Demand is why we have inflation. The phenomenon (and failure) of 'just-in-time' inventory management: What happens when the supply chain fails. 'Just-in-case' inventory implications: Higher costs will weigh on earnings. Reverse FOMO = FOBO: Fear of Missing the Bottom. It's always wise to consider your view of markets could be mistaken.

Is This a "Rolling Recession?" (4/17/23)

(4/17/23) What if the Economy has been experiencing a "rolling recession," instead of one in which the bottom falls out of everything all at once? A hypothesis posed by Liz Ann Sonders, Managing Director and Chief Investment Strategist at Charles Schwab, in that markets have been able to weather the storms of the past couple of years because they haven't all hit at once. A longer view of market performance reveals a continuing, upward trend since The Big Selloff when the economy was shut down for the pandemic. And, after working through all the stimulus-fueled froth, markets are now back in line with a longer-term, bullish trend.

The De-Dollarization of Reserve Currency (4/13/23)

(4/13/23) March Inflation seemed to soften, but a look at core inflation metrics shows higher prices are still pretty sticky, providing no evidence the Fed will be inclined to pause rate hikes, much less cut rates. FOMC minutes reveal discussion of a "mild" recession. That's like being "mildly" dead. The significance of the NASDAQ being where it was 2-years ago: No gains. The March CPI Report: Nothing Burger or ham on rye? "Sticky core prices remain very sticky. Higher gasoline prices are offsetting declines in services prices. Housing/Homeowners Equivalent Rent declines have a 3-month lag; expectations are for another 25bp increase at next Fed Meeting. Is the Dollar dead as a reserve currency?

Can You Ever Make Up What You Lost? (4/13/23)

(4/13/23) The NASDAQ has between The Big Winner this year, with the top ten stocks in the index generating about 90% of overall returns since January 1, far out-pacing the S&P this year. But...the NASDAQ is only now back to levels last seen two-years ago! A great rally since October, but really no gains for the last two years. So how does this impact the myth of the compounding of market returns over time? That's not what actually happens. What does the market need to generate to make up for the losses...and can it do so?

March Inflation Lower Than Expected (4/12/23)

(4/12/23) March Inflation data was released earlier this morning (prior to this recording) reflecting a lower-than-expected rate of inflation of 5%, year-over-year. Markets were hoping for a smaller number, which it is hoped would spur the Fed to at least pause in its interest rate hike campaign. And a weaker inflation print was also expected to have resulted in a sharp rise in the markets. A higher than expected number was thought to lead to a sell off in the markets. Bullish advocates are hoping for a Fed pause and associated monetary accommodations later this year, which the cooler inflation number would suggest.

Will Inflation Weaken Enough to Cause a Fed Pause? (4/11/23)

(4/11/23) Lots of Fed speakers are on deck this week, along with data releases with the latest measure of inflation: Will numbers indicate a weakening sufficient to cause the Fed to pause rate hikes? Markets continue to do well; why we trimmed out positions in the NASDAQ; Why did PC sales take a dive? Markets may be a bit ahead of reality. Why a lack of bullishness in the markets is a good thing; markets returns expectations vs reality; avoiding market downturns is more important than making market gains; we do the math.

Is it Time to Trim NASDAQ Exposure? (4/11/23)

(4/11/23) The NASDAQ has been on fire this year, rising sharply as the top ten stocks make up about 80% of the return of the S&P this year. That's an amazing performance after laster's swoon in FAANG stocks, and the pronouncement of the NASDAQ as dead. a 30% advancein the NASDAQ is quite the resurrection. The S&P is currently up 7% for the year, but would only be ahead 2% without those NASDAQ stocks pushing things along. Which is why we sold off our Q's holdings for two reasons: This rally has been very sharp since the beginning of the year, and that trend remains bullish; but as we enter earnings seasons, expectations are a little on the lofty side, with propfit margins expected to expand by 140-bp; and expectations for earnings continue to outpace markets. But since technology stocks depend so greatly on consumer spending, where's the money going to come from to support sales predictions based on 2021-22 perfomrance, which was sustained by stimulus funding? Secondly, we're close to triggering a sell signal from a very high level. Historically, such signals have led to a correction. which would be a better buying opportunity to add positions in tech stocks for our portfolios.

What a Fed Rate Cut Would Really Mean (4/10/23)

(4/10/23) Anticipated data in the week ahead should bolster the position of the Fed in not cutting interest rates anytime soon; labor participation rates are still not up to pre-pandemic levels; inflationary pressures on markets remain. Markets are betting on no recession and the Fed to cut rates, but fail to recognize the ramifications of the Fed needing to cut rates. "Millennial" ratings season begins: Everyone gets a trophy. S&P expectations for 2024 earnings to equal those of 2022, without stimulus or inflation. Analysts' initial earnings estimates are generally 30% higher than reality; looking for lots of earnings "beats." How the markets have become dependent upon liquidity and Fed intervention; this is not capitalism, and it's not good for markets. Companies are not winning the capital game (the things that really matter to businesses.) The fallacy of boycotts and protests; the true cost of debt. The challenge of investing in a no longer free market. A booming stock market is not necessarily good for the economy: Look at teh results of three bull markets, with 29% of population still expected to need more than $1-mil to retire. Markets will not make you rich; wealth will come from what you save.

This Week Begins Earnings Season (4/10/23)

(4/10/23) This week launches earnings seasons, starting with the big banks. Will banks show more stress to come, or were the past events in that sector over with? What about lending standards and loan loss reserves for banks? What are their concerns about delinquencies, which are precursors for a recessionary economy. Earnings for Q1 have dropped significantly since the first quarter of 2022, from a peak of $225 to the current level of $172-share today, lowering the bar for companies. Meanwhile, markets continue to trade in a very defined channel, in a consolidation pattern that is considered bullish despite bad news from banking issues, a weakening economic environment, Fed rate hikes, and concerns over inflation. Markets continue to hold on, even though earnings have been on the decline. Markets' future moves will depend in large part on the results of the unfolding earnings season.

Does All that's Golden Glitter? (4/6/23)

(4/6/23) Gold has enjoyed a lot of media attention as it has had a nice run, of late, breaking out above $1,900 to touch $2,000. But Gold is now a bit over-bought, signaling time to perhaps take a little bit of profit if you're long Gold. The last time we saw this scenario, Gold corrected from $1,960 to about $1,750. And as markets have continued on an upward trend since October's lows, Gold has correlated to equities more than any other. Note: The idea of Gold as a risk diversifier really hasn't been the case; it's still more of a speculative trade. When trading commodities, remember that they do not pay dividends, so purchase for price and capital appreciation. We're looking at ten-year treasury notes (TLT) as potential spots to place profits; perhaps the best thing about treasuries is that you'll get your money back, unlike other asset trades.

Markets Retest the Breakout (4/5/23)

(4/5/23) The markets' rally from recent lows has flown in the face of Fed rate increases and bank failure news. The pullback we forecast in February came to pass thru early March, and since then markets have rallied back on expectations of a Fed pivot (despite no indications that's what the Fed will do). Markets yesterday retested a breakout of the downward trend line, combining with a trend of higher lows to create a market compression scenario. Today's action will be key in testing both boundaries.

Markets Are More Bullish than Bearish (4/3/23)

(4/4/23) Despite all the bearish market commentary from headlines and podcasts, plus negative news about a looming economic recession, the market continues to perfrom better. Markets have continued a rising trend established in October of higher lows, and on Monday rallied above a downtrend line originating in April 2022. All of this sets up markets to rally to about 4,200. Analysts are now ratcheting-up predictions for 2% economic growth this year, and the S&P increasing estimates for companies. This flies in the face of the idea of recession because of the Fed's rate hikes. It's all very confusion for investors, but in the short term, technicals remain very positive. Markets are becoming a bit over-bought in the short term, as well. There are several layers of resistance between 4,100 and 4,400, all of which are possible targets.

Will Oil Roil the Markets? (4/3/23)

(4/3/23) April marks the launch of another earnings season cycle and the start of Q2 with a decidedly positive market bias. OPEC+ production cuts hikes oil to $80bbl, fueling more inflation = more Fed rate hikes. Analysts are now expecting Q1 to have been the trough, q2 to show economic improvement: Not good for the Fed, creating a battle between what the Fed wants and what the markets are thinking. It's important to note the significance of oil price averages, and the deviation from the 200MDA: Price highs and lows are required to create an average: Oil prices are a function of supply and demand; recessions result in decreased demand. The US needs to decide whether it's going to be oil-dependent or oil-independent. The truth about Lance's Tweets; survey: Where mobile phones derive the most income: Gaming apps.

Oil Prices: What Goes Up Will Come Down (4/3/23)

(4/3/23) OPEC+ cut production by 500k-bbl over the weekend, hiking prices by 6% this morning to around $80bbl from $110bbl. The price of oil is a function of two things: As the economy slows, a slow down in demand occurs, dropping prices, in this case back to below the 200-day moving average, a pattern of about two-years' worth of pricing history. OPEC likes profitability from higher prices, and so cut production to keep supply low and prices high. That won't last, however. This, of course, runs afoul of the White House and Fed plans for cutting inflation. Can't do much of that when oil prices are on the rise. Meanwhile, energy stocks remain extremely elevated above the moving average. While we may see a short term bump in energy stocks, prices cannot remain as deviated from the average for very long.

Fed Pivot? Be Careful What You Ask For (3/30/23)

(3/30/23) Markets continue to do well, led by tech and technology stocks. The NASDAQ, up 20% from its lows, is now officially in a bear market. Much of the rally is based on the idea of a Fed Pivot, but based on market history, that might not be a good thing. The importance of investors being flexible and able to "call an audible," if needed. Dogs' internal clocks adjust to DST; market performance has been improving since October, despite economic indicators screaming for trouble ahead; the dichotomy between markets & economy, the NASDAQ vs Russell 2000; where should investors place their bets?

The Most-hated Stocks Lead the Rally (3/30/23)

(3/30/23) Markets rallied almost 2% Wednesday to climb above the 50-DMA, the first line of resistance markets needed to clear in order to advance to 4,100. Futures this morning are higher, and markets are not over bought, so there is fuel for markets to continue to rally in the short term at least. Interestingly, this rally is being led by Tech and Communications stocks, among the most-hated of last year, thanks to disinflation and a reduction of inflationary pressures. Even as economic indicators are signaling weaker growth, analysts are ratcheting up earnings estimates for 2024.

Markets Struggle at 50-DMA (3/29/23)

(3/29/23) Futures are pointing higher following the last few days' sloppy trading, holding onto support at the 20-DMA and 100-DMA. Despite the negative news headlines, markets have been doing exceptionally well. Price trends are moving higher, a buy signal has been triggered, but markets are not yet overbought. We're now looking for the markets to move above teh 50-DMA, whihc would provide the ability to test support at the previous topping process set last May at 4,100. Teh rerlative lack of news is allowing markets to rise. Markets continue to define a consolidation process that began at the peak of the market in January 2022. A break to the up- or downside will be driven by some kind of financial or economic event, in one direction of the other.

Real Resistance Above the 50-DMA (3/28/23)

(3/28/23) There is a set-up in the markets that could take things back up to 4,200 which might see m a bit far-fetched, given everything that's going on. Technicals, however, have improved despite the Fed's higher interest rates, the banking crisis, et al. Markets remain bullishly-biased, risin above the 200-DMA, the 100-DMA, the 20-DMA, showing lots of support just below current levels. The only real resistance is just above the 50-DMA, which is sitting right at 4,000 on the S&P. Markets are not over-bought on a short-term basis, suggesting there is still fuel enough to markets higher.

Will Commercial Real Estate be the Next to Fall?( 3/27/23)

(3/27/23) In the aftermath of the bank fail and bailout fiasco, the Fed's QT is essentially being negated by bond buys; despite that, markets are setting a rising trend. Gold buyers read real interest rates; stock buyers read earnings estimates. While the Fed continues to focus on inflation, markets are pricing-in a 110-bp rate cut by Summer's end. 15-years after Bear-Stearns, the component missing for full financial crisis is a lack of faith in the system. It's all about stability, but risk remains of breaking something this year. The fallacy of the Fed's Bank Stress Tests; a simple explanation of what went wrong at SVB; the next area of risk will be in commercial real estate. Multi-family real estate also at risk because of origins of construction loans; too much supply, not enough demand. The use of buy-now, pay-later schemes; why Millennials and Gen-Z cannot save: Instant gratification vs delayed gratification.

Markets Continue to Establish Higher Bottoms (3/27/23)

(3/27/23) Despite the banking crisis, markets have continued to rally, setting up a nice rising trend, and the potential to touch 4,100 on the S&P. Money Flows and the MACD are both on buy-signals, and markets continue to establish higher bottoms. There is a nice, tradeable rally set up for the next few weeks, if not for a month or so.
