The Coming Era of QT

(6/2/22) Markets took to heart a quasi-retraction from Fed Gov. Bostic on possible halt to Fed tightening later this Summer, pulling back to previous lows. Regardless, markets are still in a buying mood, and this will be the wash-rinse-repeat pattern for the next several weeks; too many investors are predicting a bear market for it to occur. Queen Elizabeth-II marks her 70th year on the throne; can the monarchy last? The Fed's method of quantitative tightening can be partially accomplished by attrition; Securitization of Mortgages explained; With markets under pressure, is there still more downside to come? The reason bear markets happen: No one's expecting it. Individuals and investors are generally wrong at extremes. Working from Home to be a thing of the past? Corporate stock buy backs--Is it the most efficient use of capital? How companies manipulate number to meet Wall Street's estimates.

Markets Fail at Resistance

(6/2/22) Markets sold off after Fed Governor Bostic walked-back his comments about a potential Fed pause later this Summer, which markets interpreted to mean a more aggressive Fed in hiking rates and reducing liquidity. The hope for a kinder, gentler Fed policy had been fueling markets. The good news is that markets are still on a "buy" signal, and the MACD is still positive. But markets still remain in an over-sold condition. Higher future this morning are suggesting a bit of a rally, right out of the gate...but sustainability of said rally will be paramount. The not-so-good news yesterday was that markets failed at a resistance level that goes all the way back to February of this year. As markets grind higher, they'll be eating up the buy signals in the process, limiting upside somewhat. Because prevailing sentiment remains bearish, that will give a bit of a lift to markets as some investors are caught in a short squeeze on some positions. We think this continues to be a sellable rally. Our strategy remains, as markets work through multiple levels of resistance, to use the opportunity to sell laggards and raise cash.

California lifeguards earning 6-figure incomes; how The Great Resignation has shifted to The Great Re-hiring; how we're handling inflation & the Savings Paradox; Bearish or neutral, or bullish to neutral: best place may be to shift to neutral; where interest rates are going; financial solvency.

Could Markets Rally All the Way into Summer?

(6/1/22) We're seeing signs of a much stronger rally as we head into Summer months: There has not been a negative June in the markets since 2015; July also tends to be a stronger month in the Summer. Things are more dicey in August and September, but with markets under so much pressure the past two months, it would not be a surprise to see markets take off in the next two months. Markets tend to do the opposite of what everyone expects: With over 8,200 articles written on "the coming recession," the bear market, and lots of negative sentiment--consumer sentiment at levels reflecting proximity to market bottoms--markets tend to buck the trend. If markets can drive back up to the 4,300 or 4,400 levels, more bullish sentiment will reign. That will set up for the next leg of the bear market as the Fed tightens liquidity and raises interest rates. As economic growth slows further and stock prices begin to fall, that will be an opportunity to put cash to work.

No More Rate Hikes

(5/31/22) Markets prepare to wrap up May, and enter the final month of the Second Quarter, and how investors can take advantage; why inflationary pressures remain; how Washington's idiocy made inflation worse...and some Senators want to repeat the process. Oil Company margins are no better now, thanks to inflation of labor and materials, and higher costs of extraction. How trapped-longs can finally get out; why the Fed is behind the curve in preparing for the next recession; Iran's "secret" tunnels; The new Delorean; Why Student Loan Forgiveness is a fundamentally flawed concept.

Can the Rally Last?

(5/31/22) Markets are ending the month of May with a nice rally in the previous week--but can it last? There are still a lot of companies that are offsides in market allocations in terms of equities as well as in bonds--anyone with a 60/40 allocation is out of whack. Much of the remaining rebalancing will have to be accomplished in the final month of the quarter: June. Volatility, however, has not been suggesting the recent rally can stand. What are markets telling us? The bottom that has been building over the past several days continues to hold, allowing a triggering of the MACD buy signal. Markets are still in a very-defined downtrend; markets could rally back up to the 50-DMA--and if so, offer a great opportunity to reduce risk in portfolios.

Toughest Year Ever?

(5/30/22) As the markets go, so goes the year: The way we look at financial markets is very different from the way the Fed looks at financial markets. Keep in mind where we've come from, and where we are today: How inflation was created, and the mistake everyone made was that growth in the economy was organic...but in reality was fueled by all the liquidity that had been injected into the economy; the problem of not having an investing strategy.

How Much Room Does the Market have?

(5/26/22) Good news for markets as they try to establish a bottom and set up for a counter-trend rally. Stock prices peaked in March, and since then have had a tough time. The MACD signal has been in a downward trend, applying downward pressure to pricing at the same time. Wednesday's rally triggered a MADC Buy-signal for the first time in 8-weeks. Markets have been stabilizing and forming consistent bottom levels. With the MACD signal in place, money flow signals turning positive, and markets still over-sold, these elements suggest the potential for markets to get a lift. The Big Question is, how much room does the market have before running into the next level of resistance? Because the upside is limited, playing any rally must be done with caution. Where will resistance levels be? Perhaps the 20-DMA trend line; the 50-DMA has a little more room to run up to the 4,200 level in the month of June. After that, the 200-DMA, which would lift markets to previous peaks we saw in March. As we move to these levels, reduce risk as these rallies offer the opportunity.

Bonds Are Turning a Corner

(5/25/22) Bonds have started to turn a corner in recent weeks, picking up their non-correlation relative to equity prices--exactly what you want if you're using bonds as a hedge against a stock sell-off. Taking a look at interest rates for hints of where rates are heading reveals much about the economy, and where it's heading, as well. As slowing in April of the rate of growth of inflation allowed interest rates to rise, so did May's reports of slowing inflationary growth, causing rates to drop. Interest rates are now sitting on critical support, and if the decline continues, we're expecting a break of about 2.7% on the Ten-year Treasury rate...pushing rates into the 2%-ish range. The significance of this is, stocks and bonds are starting to price-in slower growth, rather than higher inflationary pressures. So what to do about a very large short-position in Bonds? There's a good possibility of lower rates and higher bond pries through the month of June.

Will Markets Give Up All of Monday's Gains?

(5/24/22) Markets were able to hold support at last week's lows--and important test of the bottom, and a set up for a double-bottom. Unfortunately, markets are pointing lower following Snapchat's poor report, which is weighing on FAANG stocks, which in turn are placing a drag on the S&P. A commonality of recent weeks has been a rally that gets sold-into, which has been the heart of the negative pressure on the 20-DMA. Price declines are also what's keeping the MACD signal in "sell" territory, and yesterday's rally did not trigger a "buy" signal. Because markets are so over-sold, we are expecting some type of intermediate-term rally providing investors an opportunity to rejigger portfolios and adjust for risk. There is SO much negative sentiment in the markets; when markets do what no one expects--that will be The Opportunity to take advantage of.

Why the Recession Will Be Here Later than Expected

(5/23/22) The Dow is now stringing together 8-weeks of losses--its worst performance since the 1920's.

Why a 20% Correction Does Not a Bear Market Make

(5/23/22) Breaking through the markets' 20% barrier does not a bear market make, regardless of breathless media commentary. 20% off today's S&P is merely a correction, thanks to the lone-term bullish trend of rising prices remains well intact. On Friday, buying came in in the late afternoon, holding onto support established earlier last week. Markets are looking to move higher this morning--an indication that the bottom could hold, and the first, key test will be right at 4,000, right where its 20-DMA is sitting. However, there are several downtrends with which to be dealt. The good news is that Volatility is not indicating a panic-driven selling bear market. While there is much selling pressure, Volatility has been declining, and the markets' decline has been quite orderly. After eight weeks straight of selling in the Dow, and seven-weeks of similar activity in the S&P, it would not be surprising to see a couple of positive weeks in the markets at this point...offering a great opportunity to rebalance risk and reposition portfolios for what happens later this year as the Fed hikes rates and tightens policy.

Warnings from Target Sink Stocks: What's next?

(5/19/22) Target and Walmart's warnings about future earnings pulled the rug out from under stocks Wednesday, essentially reversing all of the previous gains, going back to last week. The data suggests a recession is near, if not already here. (We raised cash in anticipation of the worst.) The current level of resistance will be important for markets to break above in order to get the rally back on track. Negative money flows have improved, providing a glimmer of hope for investors. The S&P has been down for the past 7-weeks--8-weeks for the Dow--providing more seller pressure, and feeding seller-exhaustion. Could markets move lower from here? Yes. In fact, markets will open down following yesterday's extensive sell-off, which is not too surprising. It is important that markets hold intra-day lows from last week--down into three-standard-deviation territory. If those hold, it will set up a double-bottom, and there's plenty of resistance at the 20-DMA. Near-term, there are not a lot of positive catalysts to sustain that upward movement--so there still remains definite risk to the downside.

Is the Reflex Rally Over?

(5/18/22) Target and Walmart reporting less than expected earnings, and missing by a mile, as they cite higher price pressure and building inventories. This would suggest we have likely seen the peak of inflation, along with slower consumer activity--both are pre-recessionary indicators that are also disinflationary. Target and WalMart stocks are consumer bellwethers, telling us now that consumption is, indeed, slowing down as inflation begins to impact consumer buying habits. As consumer spending counts for 70% of economic growth, this does not bode well for corporate earnings in the second half of the year. This will also weigh on S&P pricing later this year. Over the past several days, markets have bottomed and turned back upwards, stringing together four positive days. Closing higher than where we open today will indicate a continuation of a positive trend. The point is to use the rally to sell those laggards to reduce portfolio risk.

How to Use Market Rally to Reduce Risk

(5/17/22) Stocks are looking to open sharply higher following yesterday's consolidation and advance. This makes three "green" days in a row, providing more lift to markets in the short term. Our initial target on SPY is still 416--at the 20-DMA, the first level of resistance, and also part of the current downtrend. The next level up will be 430 or 431. We will want to use any rally to dell into and reduce risk. If markets are able to break out of the down channel, we can always put cash back to work. Money flows and over-sold positions suggest this rally has some legs to stand on.

What do Kim Kardashian & The Market Have in Common?

(5/16/22) Markets put in a big bottom last week--at least for the short term. Even though markets finished down for the day on Thursday, they rallied back above the open, setting up a green candle, and establishing a test of the level at three standard-deviations from the 50-DMA. Friday's subsequent rally pushed the index up to within two standard-deviations from the 50-DMA, and got close to triggering a money flow buy signal in a market that was still very over-sold. Establishment of this bottom now prepares the market for a rally up to the 20-DMA, currently on the SPY at 416-418. That level is the top of the current downtrend line, around 430 on the S&P. All of the elements are in place to create a rally back up to higher levels. Whan that happens, use this as an opportunity to reduce risk and rebalance portfolios.

Cryptocoins Under Pressure

(5/12/22) Markets remain under pressure after April CPI numbers show hotter-than-expected inflation. But looking at longer-term charts can give a better understanding of where we've been...and where we're going. Are we over-bought, or over-sold, and where is the downside risk, and where is the potential support, moving forward? The S&P is currently 3-standard-deviations below the 50-week Moving Average, and money flow indicators are also over-sold. With the Fed remaining in a tightening mode, any reflexive rally will be limited. The NASDAQ is similarly deviated to the downside of its 50-week Moving Average, as well as over-sold now as much as it was in March 2020, as the Fed was reversing itself in terms of QE (which set up for a nice rally); we don't have that, yet. Cryptocoins are also coming under a tremendous amount of pressure; Bitcoin, Ether, and others, have all become high-beta trades in the markets. Oversold positions indicate we could be seeing a tradeable rally, and if so, that would be a good place to take some profits. 0:43 - S&P 50-week Moving Average analysis 3:08 - NASDAQ 50-week Moving Average analysis 4:09 - Cryptocurrency analysis Hosted by RIA Advisors' Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO Produced by Brent Clanton -------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/insights/real-investment-daily/ -------- Watch the video version of this report by subscribing to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFyiWgEuxgA&list=PLVT8LcWPeAujOhIFDH3jRhuLDpscQaq16&index=1 ------- Visit our Site: www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to RIA Pro: https://riapro.net/home -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #MarketBottom #Inflation #Cryptocurreny #Bitcoin #CPI #FederalReserve #Markets #Money #Investing

Will CPI Be Sticky?

(5/11/22) The CPI inflation print for April could affect markets today--will it come in softly, or reflect a stronger print from April 2021. If inflation wanes, will the Fed be less aggressive? If so, that's an encouraging sign for growth stocks in particular. The market Tuesday did try to rally, but failed; markest are still deeply over-sold on every metric we track, so a lot of fuel remains for a rally. Any good news on inflation would tend to provide some lift to markets.

The Relentless Fed

(5/10/22) Monday's market Capitulation actually smelled like margin calls coming home to roost; as financial conditions continue to tighten, the Fed is relentless in its squeeze. The inflation now was caused by "free" money (which isn't); the best course for the Fed now is to do nothing, and allow inflation to run its course in curing itself. Low volatility begets high volatility, and investor sentiment now is so bearish...it's bullish. Corporate Reporting Preview; look to buy value today--why Uber is not; TeleDoc, Peloton vs Amazon.

Are We Near the Bottom?

(5/9/22) Concerns over Fed speakers and Inflation numbers releases this week, as markets begin trading deep in the red; will we see inflation's peak--and with that, a softer stance by the Fed? Markets are starting the week down three standard-deviations from the 50-DMA. Professional, Retail, and Positioning sentiment are all quite pessimistic across the board; technical indicators are over-sold on virtually every level. At this point, it's extremely important to not allow emotions to take hold of your investing decisions and push you into a position of forced selling. If you're not happy about where your portfolio is right now, you've got an allocation problem; use the coming reflexive rally to sell off positions of weakness, and to balance the risk in your portfolio. If you sell today, keep in mind--markets could dip lower down to the 3900 level. That's likely to be short-lived, as evidence by market performance shortly after the invasion of Ukraine, and the sell-off following January's peak. At each such event, markets had a nice reflexive rally, and appear to be similarly setting up for the same thing again. Emotional selling opportunities tend to be traps for investors.

The Fed's Silver Lining

(5/5/22) The Fed is raising rates by 50-basis-points, but tapering its balance sheet at a slower pace than expected, causing great jubilation on Wall Street, and a 3% rally after the announcement. The narrative the Fed feeds does not always comport with reality; how Jerome Powell "walks the line." Is the Fed looking at the economy in the right way? Economic data are telling a different story; is the market actually bottoming--or could it go even lower from here? Why companies are always slow to hire and slow to fire. The impact of passive investing; Elon Musk vs Cathie Wood; Blackrock, Vanguard, and voting virtue with EFT's; Have ETF's taken away the voice of individual investors?

No surprises from Fed - where do we go from here?

(5/5/22) Jerome Powell's announced 50-basis-points rate hike was as expected--but the Fed added a dovish tone by slowing the rate of tapering on its balance sheet. With Professional and Retail investor sentiment at some of the lowest levels we've seen, and positioning very, very light in equities, the bit of good news was all Wall Street needed to stage a 3% rally, pushing up to resistance at the 20- and 50-DMA's. If markets go there, that's the signal to raise a little cash, take some profits, and clean up your act. We're not quite out of the woods; with a short-term buy signal triggered, money flows positive, and the MACD starting to turn upward, this is the bullish octane markets need.

What Will Today's FOMC Meeting Reveal?

(5/4/22) Today's FOMC meeting will reveal what Jerome Powell & Co really think about the economy, and how the Federal Reserve intends to address inflation: Corporate earnings are decent, but forward guidance is sucky. What we mean when we say we're "taking profits;" how to adjust your portfolio strategy for risk, and why cash is king. Don't confuse narratives for returns: Indexes paint a different view than what's really happening in the markets; the guaranteed returns of Bonds; the surprising proclivity of cryptocurrency investors to gambling; housing valuation compared to stock markets; the impact of the velocity of information; why a buy-and-hold strategy does not work.

How Will Today's Fed Meeting Impact Your Money?

(5/4/22) Market futures are elevated following two days of volatility and a slow grinding higher; lots of trepidation on Wall St. as the Fed's FOMC meeting convenes today. What the Fed says--or does not say--will affect markets, and in turn, your money. Will the Fed announce a 50-basis-point hike in rates, and a tapering of its balance sheet starting in June--or--will they be more aggressive, hiking rates 75-basis-points, with more, similar rate hikes to come? We suspect the FOMC will do exactly as expected with a more dovish approach to inflation, raising rates only 1/2%. If that is the case, and the Fed hints that inflation may have peaked, that will bode well for stocks. Money flows have remained positive despite market gyrations, and any good news--or expected news--from the Fed could boost markets higher. It would be no surprise to see a market rally up to about the 50-DMA at 4,300, which, at that level, would provide a nice opportunity to rebalance portfolios and reduce risk. Think ahead about the coming headwinds later this year as inflation recedes, but economic growth slows. Markets are still in a downward trend, going back to support levels from September. Even as markets are primed to rally, there is still much resistance overhead.

What if the Fed says it's raising rates by 75-basis points, and issues a much more hawkish view on inflation? That's the risk markets are facing as they try to position ahead of the meeting. With markets so negatively biased, any news that matches expectations will be viewed as GOOD news, and markets could rally back to the 50-DMA from here. Markets are very over-sold on multiple levels; so any news that's not bad news could trigger a reflexive rally. Additionally, the blackout window for corporate share buybacks closed, which could allow for up to $5-billion a day worth of trading, and more upward lift for stocks for the next six weeks.

Is a Bigger Bear Market Coming?

(5/2/22) Will April's showers bring a flowering to the markets in May? Comparing 2021 to now--is a bigger bear market coming? (Anything the Fed says next can tilt markets one way or the other.) The potential for a short-term rally is likely; use it to rebalance risk in portfolios. Wall Street's golden plateau is "buy & sell;" the velocity of news can destroy market caps overnight; Warren Buffett: "Markets are a Casino." Expectations for shrinkage in Fed balance sheet by mid-June; we may actually be closer to end of market carnage; why we cannot have a bear market: Everyone is expecting it. Avoiding making emotional investment decisions; know when to leave the table. The trouble with comparisons. SEG-1: Is a Bigger Bear Market Coming?

Why Now Would Be a Really Good Time to Rally

(5/2/22) Markets are set to prove the April-to-May adage: Thunderstorms on Wall Street in April resulted in extremely negative investor sentiment. Markets are very over-sold, and positioning is very light--not surprising given market performance last month. Can markets go lower? Certainly. And we could see a bit of a short-term rally at this point, too, albeit with a lower high as the market continues to establish a down trend. We could also see a revisitation of Russian Invasion lows as markets flirt in three standard deviation territory. A rally here would not be surprising at all. The Month of May sees a return of stock buy backs, which, if they occur, could give stocks a lift all the way into mid-June. So there ARE reasons to expect a rally; use it to lighten positions and reduce risk ahead of events that could impact Wall Street.

Why Facebook/Meta's Earnings Matter

(4/28/22) It's been a tough week for the markets; Facebook's earnings report showed lower revenues but heightened user counts; why a Facebook/Meta rally matters--and the opportunity it will afford investors. What the Atlanta Fed has in store in GDP report; how Russia will impact companies' forward guidance, effects on China. Inflation beginning to impact companies through reduced consumer spending: We're spending more to get the same or less. Why we reduced exposure to Apple but not MSFT. Dr. Fauci says COVID's ovah.

Don't Be Fooled by Facebook's Rally

(4/28/22) Facebook/Meta's report last night boasted increased users but diminished revenues, boosting its opening price to just about its 50-DMA. Despite the rally in the stock, there is still some concern: Over the past 9-months, Facebook has been down nearly 50% from its 52-week high. We're concerned whether this recent rally can stick. Why does this matter? Because Facebook is among those giant stocks in the NASDAQ which comprise 33% of the S&P 500 Market Cap. When this stock rallies, the effect lifts the entire index. On Wednesday, the NASDAQ was down about 22% for the year, already in a bear market. Under the surface, there's been some real devastation: the lift we're expecting this morning from Facebook should move markets off the March lows. If we can get a bounce that holds, it will push the NASDAQ up towards the 50-DMA. But as inflation, the war in Ukraine, and Fed rate hikes cap upward movement, use any rally you see to rebalance portfolios and reduce risk.

Have Markets Bottomed, or More Losses to Go?

(4/27/22) Markets remain under pressure as earnings come in not as strong as expected. Markets retested March's low, but this morning futures are pointing higher. Markets remain over sold, so expect at least a small, short-term rally. This would be a good time to rebalance and adjust for risk. Google reported worse-than-expected earnings, breaking down below support. Google is very over-sold but allow the stock to recover as investors digest just how bad earnings were. Microsoft, similarly, has been under pressure, and in a very over-sold condition. We expect it will rally about 7% out of the gate this morning, thanks to yesterday's earnings beat. Apple reports tomorrow.
