The Real Investment Show Podcast

(7/25/22) Markets got a little over-extended last week, pulling back and retesting the 50-DMA without violating it. That turned previous resistance into support, broke out of the downtrend channel, and set up a row of higher lows. The resulting rally, however, has been more subdued in intensity; the S&P could work its way up to 4,170. Earnings season moves into high gear this week, the Fed's meeting on Wednesday will reveal their next rate decision and forward-looking commentary, and the first estimate of Q2 GDP hits on Thursday: all events and items that will affect market mentality. Meanwhile, bond yields are telling a lot about expectations for economic growth. While inflation may be slowing more than expected, so, too, is economic growth. A break below 2.65% on the 10-year Treasury, we could a see a sharp decline in short-term interest rates. These facts give two, competing theories about which way the markets will go...and which theory about the economy is correct.

(7/22/22) There's an emerging dichotomy between employment and workers' demands/desires for working from home; the effects of inflation on all aspects of life. Dealing with Texas' heatwave: Creative cooking. Life hacks for inflation: How much to tip? The Hierarchy of Saving and what to do to get ahead; dealing with credit cards; the Gig Economy, Swimply, and pool rentals; early retirement with T-72; would you drink this beer?

(7/21/22) Will the Fed cave to inflation and pivot on its interest rate hike course--and what will the effects be on markets? Will Markets' recent bottoms hold? Negative sentiment prevails--much of the recent rally has been driven by short-selling. With inflation and mounting debt, this time it IS different; Hasbro, Target, Wal-Mart's inventory surpluses; when will the Fed shift focus from inflation to financial stability? The Roberts' Family Move; the psychology of a Fed pivot & our dependence on debt; Where we are right now: Expecting Recession (so, will it happen?) everything goes back to liquidity and valuation.

(7/21/22) From a bullish standpoint, there seems to be a lot of bullish input: MACD's on a buy signal, and markets are on a defined uptrend. The next level up will be 4170 on the S&P. We've seen this before, but here come the seasonally-weak months of the year. The Fed's tightening policy, and weakening economic data and manufacturing indexes, and a strengthening dollar will all feed into earnings later this year. Any kind of rally at this point is an opportunity to reduce exposure, raise cash, and hedge against risk.

(7/20/22) Mortgage demand is at a 22-year low; that's not the only reason house prices are falling; technical charts don't lie. The market is down less than 20% for the year; has FOMO become FOBO--the fear of missing the bottom? There is a risk that this time it IS different, for all the wrong reasons. Cathie Wood's Transparency Fund fail; could the Chinese mortgage meltdown happen here? The risk of Millennials' balking on mortgage payments.

(7/20/22) We haven't seen investors THIS negative since 2008--does this suggest we're nearing a market bottom? This is not then: We're running the highest inflation rate in 40-years, the Fed is tightening its balance sheet AND hiking interest rates. What do the technical charts tell us? Markets are oversold by two standard deviations from the 50-WMA--but not as bad as in May, or March 2020, or in early 2016, pre-Brexit. The MACD indicator is very low and starting to turn positive. Other oversold indicators are behaving similarly and starting to turn up as well. This COULD set up for a decent, tradable rally. A longer perspective, back to 1994, illustrates market behavior following the Dot-com crash of 2000, the financial crisis of 2008, Brexit in 2015-16, the March 2020 pandemic sell-off, and the Fed taper tantrum of 2018--all compared to the bear market sell-off we're experiencing now. It is key to note the declines are smaller in magnitude going forward--but over-sold indicators did not register extremes like we're seeing now. So, yes, we could be seeing the starts of an intermediate term bottom in the market--but it's still too early to jump into the market with both feet.

(7/19/22) The ugly truth behind ESG Funds--and why they won't survive; Market commentary: Monday's rally fails (thanks, Apple); things are so negative, it's positive. Investors' "fear of missing out (FOMO)" has become a "fear of missing the bottom (FOBO);" this market performance isn't as bad as post 2008 or post-Lehman markets; the "American Dream" of home ownership has been warped by lending gimmicks; Markets' reaction to Apple hiring freeze--there's bad news and not-as-bad news.

(7/19/22) Stocks were poised to break above the downtrend, but Apple's announcement to freeze hiring killed market momentum. Hiring freezes are the first step before layoffs--because the economy is slowing down. Futures are higher this morning, suggesting markets will again try to challenge the downward trend that's been in place since March. We're not in the mood for a lot of risk at this time; we're going to use whatever rally we get to rebalance portfolios. The existence of so much bearishness leads to the ability to have a stronger counter-trend rally. A break above the trends line will set up for new highs; but a break below the trendline will establish new lows, requiring a reassessment of positioning.

(7/18/22) Earnings season gets underway in earnest as most S&P 500 companies report; the Big Question is whether analysts have adjusted estimates enough--or are there more disappointments ahead? Forward-looking outlooks will be a big driver of prices. Two bullish indicators to note: Downtrend market channels established in March could be breached to the upside today; the 50-DMA is important resistance. Watch for the development of a counter-trend rally to entice buyers back into the market. If earnings come in at or better-than-expected, AND forward guidance isn't terrible, we could see a fairly strong counter-trend rally.

(6/30/22) Markets have chalked up the worst first-half of the year on record; history shows that stocks tend to do better in the second-half of the year...outside of a recession. Much of the recent economic data does not bode well for the economy heading into July, with the risk of recession increasing by the Fed's rate hikes and balance sheet reduction. Historically, if a recession hits, markets dip lower. And even though markets are down this year, so far, there is still more downside possible. There is also a strong possibility of a recession in earnings. It all boils down to earnings, valuations, and adjustments--and earnings have not been revised down enough to compensate for the risk of an economic recession. Our advice: Trade carefully, and use rallies to reduce portfolio risk.

(6/29/22) Poorer than expected economic data triggered a market sell-off on Tuesday: The Richmond Fed Survey reported a big drop in all components, suggesting a recession is becoming a much higher probability. Similarly, the Philly Fed Manufacturing Index, the Dallas Fed indicators show pervasive economic slowing, thanks to tighter monetary policy, higher inflation, and higher interest rates. The Census Board's Consumer Confidence survey revealed big declines in street-level sentiment. Markets didn't like that, and fell to retest support at the previous lows of May. The hope now is that as June comes to an end, portfolio rebalancing and shuffling will provide a bit of a lift to markets.

(6/28/22) Calls for regulating Cryptocurrency are echoing our sentiments two years ago; Monday's market response was partially affected. This is not the bottom...yet. The Fed is "hard at work" fighting inflation, while should be focused on economic growth; inflation will cure itself. How the "bullwhip effect" will hurt. The problem with MMT and "free" money. House prices are falling as interest rates rise; we're seeing inflation's prelude to deflation; the effect on commodities & Dr. Copper. The Fed is in a trap, and using lagging data. The Fed is about to make a big policy mistake, hiking rates too fast instead of allowing inflation to take care of itself. But you can't fight the Fed. Fact Checkers' demands for censorship because their videos are garbage. Why does the Biden administration pattern its energy policy's after Germany's? How's what working out for them? What is needed for stable energy pricing is stable energy production (oil).

(6/28/22) $30-Billion in rebalancing is at play this week as the end of June marks the end of the quarter, and fund managers have much to do in the way of "window dressing" prior to reporting their results by the end of the week. This has provided an upward bias to markets over the last few days, following last week's 6.5% rally. After essentially consolidating yesterday, S&P, Dow, and NASDAQ futures are positive ahead of the opening bell. Markets are expected to challenge the 20-DMA at the open, and above that there's resistance at the 50-DMA--the level at which markets consolidate back in late April. If the S&P can achieve the 4,000 level, that will be a good place to reduce risk in portfolios.

(6/27/22) The end of June signals end of quarter rebalancing; if we're going to have a Recession, it will have been The Most Forecast Recession Ever. How much higher can markets rally? Investors have been trained (by the Fed) to believe markets cannot go down. Running in Houston Heat; the impact of healthcare on Retirement planning; healthcare costs are high because of demand on the system; The Affordable Care Act was neither affordable or caring; Sitting is the new smoking.

(6/27/22) Markets rallied 6.5% on the S&P last week--was that the bottom? We won't really know until the dust settles from this week, with a $30-B rebalancing act coming as the end of June marks the end of the quarter. This regular "window-dressing" parade will add more buying pressure to the markets ahead of the first two weeks of July--which tend to be strong performers, historically. Caveat: Seasonality hasn't worked out too well for markets this year...2022 has had one of the worst starts to the year since the 1930's. However, over-sold market conditions are turning up; there is some support remaining for a rally. The target is between 3,900 and 4,000 at the 50-DMA. We're seeing the same set up for June that we saw in May, when a rally wiped out most of the losses.

(6/23/22) Fed Chair Jerome Powell's testimony Wednesday that he might have to create a recession to contain inflation roiled markets, and he's set for a second round today. Futures have been reversing early losses, and the question now is whether markets can keep it up. We contend that any rally should be sold-in to; selling pressure continues to appear in these rallies because of so many investors feeling trapped, looking for any relief. We're looking for markets to rally back to the 20-DMA and 50DMA, somewhere between 3,950 and 4,000. Markets continue to price-in what's going on economically, but have not yet priced-in a recession, nor the decline in earnings estimates that has to occur as the economy slows. In turn, prices will have to decline as adjustments are made for lower earnings. Similarly, yields have not yet priced-in a recession; we're looking for interest rates to fall sharply to 2-1/2%.

(6/22/22) Markets bounced 2% following a long weekend break. This morning's early morning sell-off may keep prices suppressed. Consolidations lead to failures and short-term increases, making it difficult for investors to make any returns. Oil prices are beginning to exhibit this behavior, too, down about 4% after big run up. We're looking for a bounce at about $96 to $100/bbl. As demand slows down as the economy weakens, the diminished demand for fuel will further weaken prices.

(6/21/22) Last week's sell-off pushed markets down sharply, and markets tried to stabilize on Friday, ahead of the long weekend. As we produce this report, all indexes are showing the possibility of a bit of a bounce this morning. Markets are over-sold down to three standard deviations below the 50-DMA, putting more downward pressure on stocks as the average continues to slide. This and other indicators are at levels from which we should start to see a bounce. A reasonable retracement level would be right at the 3,900 to 4,000 point for a rally. We're suggesting that any rally be used to sell into to reduce risk and raise cash. A break above the 50-DMA will give you a shot at the 200-DMA. So long as the Fed continues to aggressively raise rates, keep a watch for indications of a breakout to the upside---something we don't expect to happen today.

(6/16/22) Markets rallied on Wednesday despite a 75bp rate hike announced by the Fed. Then, overnight, traders sobered-up to the news that the Fed will be more aggressive in the future about raising rates additionally--not a good omen for strong economic growth. Markets are three standard deviations over-sold, and a short-term buy-signal failed to trigger. Markets continue to trade in a defined downtrend, and are now near the bottom of that range. Markets will have to hold support at this level in order to produce any kind of a short term rally over the next few days. Earnings estimates have yet to fall in reflecting the future impact of higher rates and diminished spending. Ongoing sell signals would indicate lower valuations to come. That being said, use any bounces we might get over the next few days to raise some cash and trim risks from portfolios.

(6/15/22) What will the Fed do? Between the heat, high prices, wars, and uncertainties, it seems to be the Summer of Apocalypse. The Fed is set to raise interest rates (50 vs 75 basis points?) How will the Fed fight inflation? A more pressing problem is Financial Instability; the impact of inflation; high oil prices tend to cure high prices; the Fed's mistake is in trying to extend the business cycle; dealing w inflation by moving to Mexico; the root of unrest is economic inequality; the dilemma of inflation vs deflation (which is out of the Fed's control).

(6/15/22) Cryptocurrencies were supposed to be the ultimate alternatives to Gold and the Dollar, but that hasn't worked out so well: Back in 2015 there was a big move towards crypto's as the new "digital gold," with the ability to combat inflation--which seemed to work well, so long as a continuous stream of liquidity into the markets was unabated. Bitcoin soared to the $70,000 range, but since has fallen dramatically to $20k as the premise of crypto becoming the replacement for Gold as a hedge against inflation has fallen apart, and the speculative nature of crypto has evaporated as losses mount. As in any speculative asset, when losses reach a certain, critical point, margin calls and negative sentiment are triggered, and liquidation events occur. We will not be surprised to see a significant reduction in margin debt in the next report from FINRA. Ethereum has similarly lost a tremendous amount of value, down 60% for the year. Have these assets lost all of their value? Not necessarily; but speculative investment assets will always exhibit spectacular booms and busts. The question remains--when will these find their bottom, and when will a more opportune time to invest in them become apparent? We are now seeing significant deviations from long-term moving averages, suggesting a decent tradable rally--but we'd recommend using that rally to liquidate weaker positions, reduce risk, and raise cash ahead of a better opportunity for a longer-term, positive trend in which to invest.

(6/14/22) Markets have officially declined more than 20%--the arbitrary measurement that defines a "bear market," but what does that really mean? (It's FELT like a bear market for the past several months!) Markets are not two standard deviations below the 50-DMA, a point from which markets have previously bounced. "Buy the Dip" is no longer in vogue--it's "Sell the Rip." The next level of resistance in the S&P will be at around 4,000; MACD and money flow indicators have reversed from "buy" to "sell" signals, all suggesting markets will go lower over the next few weeks. So, what's the difference between a "technical" bear market and a real one? That's when a previous, bullish trend of rising prices is broken and begins to trend lower. What matters is the perspective you use to view these trends. While markets ARE down 21% this year, from peak to trough, we are still above the 2020 market peak, and the 200-week moving average has been where markets have found bottoms--and that trend has remained positive. What we're seeing is not a bear market but a bull market correction. Markets are more over-sold now than at the bottom of 2020 and 2018. If markets go through a more normal correction, watch for the S&P to drop down to test the 200-WMA at about 3,500 or 3,400. As liquidity exits the market, things will revert to where they should have been over the past two years, in terms of valuation and earnings growth.

(6/13/22) Market Futures are sharply lower, with the Dow set to open in negative territory--which could be the low-point of the day. The hotter-than-expected inflation print released Friday is worrying investors that the Fed might move more aggressively in hiking rates in the near-term. That announcement comes on Wednesday, so markets are trading off ahead of the news. We expect the FOMC to follow thru on a 50-bp rate hike; of more interest will be the Fed's commentary for hints of subsequent actions later this Summer. Add to the mix a $3.2-T options expiration this week, and you've got a great recipe for market volatility. If markets open lower, we think it will trigger a MACD Sell-signal, unfortunately, since the Buy-signal was only recently established, with a subsequent rally; that rally is done. We believe it's best to use any intra-day rallies to lift exposure raise some cash--maybe even put in some shorts: If we break through market lows today, there is the likelihood of more downside in the near-term. Once we get past Wednesday's Fed announcement and Friday's Options Expirations, we can begin to think about what comes next. For the moment, the watchword is protect your portfolio.

(6/9/22) Texas Heat may be approaching par with inflation and gasoline prices; markets shed 1% on comments from SEC Chair Gensler on dropping Payment-for-Order-Flows.

(6/9/22) Markets are essentially stuck ahead of Friday's CPI report. Wednesday's market party was spoiled by SEC Chairman Gensler pontificating on the end of Payment for Order Flow and creating more of a market auction type atmosphere--a move that would dramatically affect how Wall Street makes its money. The news pushed markets 1% lower by the close, which remained in a tight trading range, for a ninth straight day. The subsequent consolidation process is eating up the buy-signal octane, shrinking the gap between support and resistance. A breakout to the upside would allow markets to shoot towards the 200-MDA, but a break-out lower would re-test lows established last month. A hotter inflation number, and a more hawkish Fed next week would certainly add downward pressure to the market. Volatility, however, remains rather muted. When volatility increases, meaning the stock market is declining, the resulting sell-off would test those recent lows, a potential risk not to be ignored.

(6/8/22) Markets have not gone much of anywhere over the past seven days; markets opened lower Tuesday, coming off support established last Monday, and closed up almost 1%, back towards the top of the trading range we've been in for the past week. The challenge is how to make some traction as the markets address three problems: Markets have rallied to the top of a trading range, which is at the same level as April & May bottoms; the current buy-signal is getting over-bought, and beginning to narrow; and as the 50DMA comes down to the top of the trading range, it creates another level of resistance; as markets continue to move sideways, more and more downward pressure is being applied. This is why we have been suggesting raising some cash--and we followed our own advice yesterday, building a short-market hedge if markets start to break to the downside, setting up a re-test of the lows of early May. With more and more economic indicators pointing to a slowing economy, and the Fed beginning to tighten monetary policy, there are plenty of reasons to remain concerned about market stability. But, if markets DO move to the upside, it's a simple thing to remove those hedges and put our cash back to work.

(6/7/22) Investor fear vs Doing Anything About it: Why we're still not yet in a Bear Market--no one is really wiling to sell anything. Interesting dichotomy in latest NFIB report: Plenty of job openings, but no one is hiring.

(This will never go away beause it benefits Wall St.) Friday's CPI: Has Inflation Finally Peaked? Results will take a while to burn off, but high prices will remain.

(6/7/22) Energy Prices have been on the rise for myriad reasons, including the Russia/Ukraine War, and an under-supply of domestic oil thanks to regulatory changes. The energy indexes have followed suit, up nearly 50% this year, while the S&P is down 14%--an amazing out-performance that historically does not last for long. So, it is time to take profits in energy stocks? Energy prices, as a proxy for energy stocks, are worth noting: Oil at $118/bbl is three standard-deviations above the 50-MMA of oil prices. That's a more than 4-year stretch of prices above long-term moving averages (remember, moving averages are averages for a reason: Prices had to trade above AND below that average over a period of time.) Just three years ago, energy prices were trading at a NEGATIVE, three standard-deviations BELOW that same 50-month moving average. In 2020 no one wanted to own energy stocks because they were in the tank; now, everyone can't get enough of 'em. The last time we saw this phenomenon was in 2008. With prices currently over-extended, and the economy going into recession, there are implications for a reduction in demand, and a consequential drop in energy prices from reduced demand and increased supply. Prices will revert--maybe not this month or the next--but now would be a good time to think about taking some profits in energy stocks off the table.

(6/6/22) ChaseBank CEO Jamie Dimon is warning against "economic hurricanes," which, as we on the Texas Gulf Coast all know, can be prepared for, and that hurricanes often do not hit their expected target. With market sentiment so heavily negative, every rally should be sold in to. ESG investing exposed for the great money heist that it is: S&P Energy Index performance vs. anti-energy ESG funds. The ugly truth about the green movement; The need for gradual transition; current result is "greenflation." There is no such thing as "ESG." The best cure for high prices is high prices. Inflation is an imbalance in Supply/Demand dynamic. There is no stability in prices. The importance of skilled labor, irreplaceable by automation.

(6/6/22) Markets are set to rally this morning following Friday's sell off--the big question is whether the rally can be maintained? Markets are starting the week on a MACD Buy-signal, and are on the over-bought side, short-term, which could suppress any rally slightly. Markets are struggling with bottoms established in April, and also when Russia attached Ukraine. Additionally, the 50-DMA is rapidly dropping, following the downward trendline. There is much work to do as negative sentiment remains predominant. Also providing impact this month will be $3.2-Trillion options expirations, and the quarterly portfolio fund rebalancing dynamic; these factors could give a lift to markets. As long as the downtrend remains intact, we've got to use these rallies to sell-in to, raise cash, and be a bit more defensive. Meanwhile, the Fed will be tightening liquidity AND raising interest rates. Observing price action will provide clues as to where markets might go next.
