(4/14/22) Wednesday's market action provided a good example of how to best implement stop losses in your portfolio. When the market breaks below a moving average, there is sometimes a market bounce, and an improperly placed stop loss would cut you out of that rally. Wait for confirmation that the break of the 50_DMA is legit. Pay attention to sell signals relative to the market's over-sold or over-bought conditions. The retest and failure of the 50-DMA is the validation you're looking for. The key is not to react immediately to a break in the moving average; let the market tell you it's for real. You may risk more upside, but at the expense of less emotional stress as you navigate the markets. -------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/news... -------- Watch the video version of this report by subscribing to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ztjGikMozE&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/ #MarketBounce #StopLoss #PortfolioManagement #Markets #Money #Investing

(4/13/22) Markets are back on a sell-signal, and getting back to an over-sold condition, suggestive of a bounce. Coming on the heels of the hottest inflation print since 1981, markets are working to hold support at the 50-DMA. This pattern is not just confined to the S&P 500; International markets are continuing into a very negative downtrend, Emerging Markets have performed terribly this year,. In fact, International and Emerging Markets have been under-performing the S&P since 2009, and we have recommended against investments in these areas for the past year. Small Caps are over-sold and on a sell-signal, and this group's performance has been markedly worse than domestic stocks. And there's not much difference in Mid-Caps, either, also on a sell-signal and very over-sold. Rising interest rates, high inflation, and a lack of new orders will weigh on earnings prospects as the economy begins to slow down. Small- and Mid-caps tend to be better performers in the early stages of a recovery...not so much when things are winding down in the late stages of an economic cycle. We are remaining more focused on Large-caps and domestic stocks for a safety dividend income play, and more defensively positioned than for growth. That will change later in the year as deflationary pressure come to bear, at which time we will shift from defense to growth, particularly in companies that can grow earnings in a slower economy. -------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/news... -------- Watch the video version of this report by subscribing to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1mMvLjMFn4&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/RealInvestme... https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinves... #MarketBounce #LargeCap #MidCap #SmallCap #InternationalStocks #EmerginMarkets #Inflation #Deflation #EconomicSlowDown #Markets #Money #Investing

(4/12/22) The recent surge in interest rates must be viewed in context: This IS one of the largest draw downs in Bond prices--and rate hikes--in quite some time. But rates are only back where they were in 2019--pre-Pandemic shutdown: Houses were selling (there was a "shortage") and consumers were spending. Post-pandemic, home buyers are "being shut out" because of current rates (at the same 2019 levels); what's the difference? Rising rates are affecting higher debt loans than we had in 2019. Higher interest rates have two impacts on consumers: They cannot buy more stuff, and so contract spending, leading to slower economic growth; and consumers note that higher rates have eventually come back down, thus delaying purchases until rates are lower. Waiting to make consumption also leads to slower economic activity. Historically, when rates are more than three standard deviations oversold (where we are, currently), it has marked a peak in rates, which always leads to lower rates as a risk-off phenomenon hits financial systems. Today, as the Fed hastens to hike rates because of surging inflation, rates have already tightened (as witnessed in slowing housing sales and consumer spending). This price action in bonds is the best buying opportunity we've seen in 40-years. -------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/news... -------- Watch the video version of this report by subscribing to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy3YQu_a9hc&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/RealInvestme... https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinves... #InterestRates #RateHike #BuyingOpportunity #Bonds #HousingSales #ConsumerSpending #HomeAffordability #Markets #Money #Investing

(4/11/22) This will likely be a much-lighter trading week, ahead of the Good Friday holiday and Easter. Markets have been in an orderly decline following the recent rally; markets are holding support right at the 50-DMA. If that level can be sustained, markets will be primed to rally again. However, sell-signals have been triggered from a fairly high level, so more correctional action is also possibility. Markets are continuing in a month-long consolidation process. As we enter the next earnings season, companies' outlooks will be key in understanding the impact of inflation and higher costs on their bottom line. Oil prices remain extended by three standard deviations, and we've suggested reducing exposure to energy stocks. Oil is about to retest the $81/bbl level, and factors indicate the possibility of lower oil prices in coming months. Gold, however, is on a buy signal--good news for gold bugs. A breakout could push gold prices to the $2,022 level. -------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/news... -------- Watch the video version of this report by subscribing to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D5bTKx-Z1E&list=PLVT8LcWPeAujOhIFDH3jRhuLDpscQaq16&index=1&t=6s ------- 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/RealInvestme... https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinves... #EasterHoliday #OilPrices #GoldPrices #MarketCorrection #EarningsSeason #CorporateGuidance #Markets #Money #Investing

4/6/22) Tuesday's market sell-off was not too surprising, as markets retraced from over-sold positions to "over-boughtedness." As markets open down this morning, the 50-DMA will be challenged--and that needs to hold, at least for the moment. Even though markets are currently over-sold, a very clear sell-signal remains. Two choices beckon: either trade along the 50-DMA for a few days, working off the over-bought condition; or, violate the 50-DMA, and re-test previous lows. Either outcome will reduce the over-bought conditions. Meanwhile, Bonds remain under pressure, thanks to the Fed's Lael Brainard's recent comments about a need to taper the Fed's balance sheet more quickly. Bonds are over-sold, and holding onto support at recent lows. As market weakness continues, don't be surprised by some correctional action in the stock market, generating some buying into the bond market. -------- Articles mentioned in this report: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/bear-squeeze-or-return-of-the-bull/ -------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/news... -------- Watch the video version of this report by subscribing to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfGDBry9KtM&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/RealInvestme... https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinves... #MarketRally #MarketCorrection #FederalReserve #RateHike #QuantitativeEasing #Tapering #Markets #Money #Investing

(4/4/22) April tends to be a strong month, statistically; will that trend prevail this year? Only a few weeks ago did markets sell-off into extreme over-sold territory on Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Since then, markets have rallied, and now needs to consolidate to hold important critical support at moving averages that are just below current market levels. If markets break through these levels, there will be a retest of market lows. By May, all bets are off, as the Fed's next meeting occurs, with an expected 50-basis point rate hike, as well as release of the schedule for Fed balance sheet tapering. Reduced liquidity heading into the summer will result in slower economic growth and slower earnings pacing. That will weigh on markets in terms of justification of current valuations. A retest of market highs would be within the realm of possibility amidst a reflexive rally...sucking in more investors at exactly the wrong time. -------- Articles mentioned in this report: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/bear-squeeze-or-return-of-the-bull/ -------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/news... -------- Watch the video version of this report by subscribing to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSsHJmmJhHM&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/RealInvestme... https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinves... #MarketRally #MarketCorrection #FederalReserve #RateHike #QuantitativeEasing #Tapering #Markets #Money #Investing

(3/30/22) The current, near-10% rally is largest we've seen in history--assuming we're in a bear market. While technically, we didn't see a correction, the actions of the market belies otherwise. It is only in bear markets that these types of reflexive rallies are observed. We've had very negative sentiment, very light investor positioning, many are shorting the market, and speculators have essentially evaporated--AARK funds are down almost 30% this year. The subsequent reflexive rally off these lows, thanks to a little good news, is being mostly driven by short-covering. This will have a very limited life. Markets have now recovered to two standard-deviations oversold from two standard deviations overbought of the 50_DMA. A rally back to all time market highs will not change the market still being in a giant consolidation range, and the basic market dynamics have not been altered. -------- Articles mentioned in this report: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/bear-squeeze-or-return-of-the-bull/ -------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/news... -------- Watch the video version of this report by subscribing to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5Pbdh8j2Pc&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/RealInvestme... https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinves... #BullMarket #Bonds #Correction #Russia #Ukraine #Quarter_End #Rebalancing #Markets #Money #Investing

(3/29/22) Is the rally of the past few weeks a bonafide return of the Bull Market? Negative sentiment fostered by the Russian invasion of Ukraine set markets up for a reversal when the world didn't come to an end, and rallying mode ensued. All it took was a little good news. Now, with end of the quarter balancing looming, and a lot of portfolio managers still off-sides on their books: Underweight bonds as prices have fallen as rates have gone up, and still out of whack on equities, off from the usual 60/40 allocations--the move to re-jigger portfolios through stock purchases will create upward lift to continue the rallying. We've been adjusting, too--and as stocks continue to rise through two standard deviations, clearing resistance, the opportunity exists for markets to pull back, and if they hold, will be in a much better position moving into April. And with markets extremely over sold on multiple levels, we need that kind of pull-back consolidation. There are lots of indicators to suggest that we're closer to the end of this bull market rally, and that we could get a pull back over the next week or so, once quarter-end rebalancing concludes. -------- Articles mentioned in this report: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/bear-squeeze-or-return-of-the-bull/ -------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/news... -------- Watch the video version of this report by subscribing to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=synp76dN564&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/RealInvestme... https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinves... #BullMarket #Bonds #Correction #Russia #Ukraine #Quarter_End #Rebalancing #Markets #Money #Investing

(3/28/22) Markets' sharp rally heading into the end of the quarter was expected, lifting indexes above the 200- and 50-DMA amidst negative sentiment and light positioning in portfolios. The clearing of overhead resistance sets markets up for a little more rallying up to the levels seen in December last year. Markets are very over bought on multiple levels, and pretty close to triggering a sell-signal. That does not necessarily mean markets are going to immediately sell-off back down to their lows. But as we move into this week, the last in March, mutual funds, hedge funds, and pension fund managers all need to rebalance their portfolios, suggesting markets could hold their own for the next few days. But when the signals trigger, expect downward pressure on asset prices. Juxtapose to the stock market is the bond market, which is currently over-sold on multiple levers, and close to triggering a buy-signal. A risk-off move in equities would bode well for bonds, which are now over-sold by more than two standard deviations. Money flowing from risk-on to risk-off would potentially flow into bonds. So, any correction in equity prices should help push up bonds back towards their moving averages. -------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/news... -------- Watch the video version of this report by subscribing to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3b837raDt0&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/RealInvestme... https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinves... #BullMarket #Bonds #Recession #Inflation #Correction #Markets #Money #Investing

(3/24/22) Markets' recent rally back above resistance levels sets up for a bullish advance into the end of the month. Markets are over-bought, short-term, so some consolidation at current levels would not be surprising. There is good support as markets sit atop the 50-DMA, and the 20-DMA is starting to turn upwards as another bullish barometer. As the end of the month approaches next week, mutual funds will need to rebalance portfolios, thanks to two months of heavy welling, and the recent surge in interest rates. Bond prices have also come down, and the rejiggering of portfolios could provide some upward lift to markets as the quarter concludes. Beyond that, it's anyone's guess as to what happens in the markets: The Fed's rumored to raise rates 50-basis points in May, inflation is running amok, and over the next several months, the economic environment is going to continue to deteriorate, potentially putting a lid on prices. In the meantime, over the next few days, a correction and consolidation would not be a surprise, and would set markets up for yet another rally right into the end of the quarter. -------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/news... -------- Watch the video version of this report by subscribing to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB149ckvhTA&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/RealInvestme... https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinves... #BullMarket #Bonds #Recession #Inflation #Correction #Markets #Money #Investing

(3/23/22) Negative sentiment tends to be bullish for stocks, and lately everyone's been convinced the world is about to end. The technicals bear this out: We've had several re-tests of market lows since January, which would include the Russian invasion of Ukraine. But look at how markets rallied, breaking about the 50- and 200-DMA's. Markets need to hold above that resistance level, and reach up to touch the upper limits of the Bollinger Bands. In reality, the negativity has already been priced-in. Are we out of the woods? Not necessarily. Rising rates and slowing economic growth will continue to provide overhead pressure, keeping prices suppressed. A correction would be a bullish set up for markets. Take advantage now to rebalance portfolio risk. -------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/news... -------- Watch the video version of this report by subscribing to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onPy5MoARYs&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/RealInvestme... https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinves... #BearMarket #Bonds #Recession #OilPrices #Russia #Ukraine #Markets #Money #Investing

(3/22/22) Markets continue to perform remarkably, despite geopolitical distractions and Fed meddling; there seems to be no demand destruction from high energy prices. Yet.

(3/22/22) Maybe not yet, but we're probably getting close: The Fed this week has said it'll need to raise rates faster than previously thought because of rampant inflation. We might get a 50-basis point hike in May because of persistent inflation they didn't see coming (they also didn't see a war between Russia and Ukraine.) Expectations of higher inflation has been pushing bond yields lower. As the Fed raises rates, economic growth slows, and as that occurs, money flows out of riskier investments (stocks) and into safer plays (bonds) because of capital preservation over time. TLT pricing is more than two standard deviations below the 50-DMA. This phenomenon doesn't occur very often, or last for long, and we're currently not quite there, yet. Despite a selloff in TLT, there is a pick up in money flows into bond, and over sold conditions are setting up for a pretty decent reflexive action. From a trading perspective, this is a set up for a short term trade in bonds. Buy today, and be prepared to sell on any rally. Longer term, we're looking for rates to fall towards zero as a recession sets in later this year or early in 2023. -------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/news... -------- Watch the video version of this report by subscribing to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GnxJu06GEk&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/RealInvestme... https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinves... #Bonds #Equities #Recession #OilPrices #Russia #Ukraine #Markets #Money #Investing

(3/21/22) Markets decided to goose the index 6% while we're on vacation, and the Fed raises rates 25-basis points, as expected. Cash is now trash, thanks to inflation; why this is not like the '70's. The Greatest Generation and American Manufacturing strength; why CNN is wrong about solving inflation; Permanent DST, Congress' stealth pay raise, Bloomberg's $300k inflation threshold; the Fed is expected to continue to raise interest rates.

(3/21/22) Markets rallied an astounding 6% last week, coming off an over-sold, very negative sentiment scenario--which was the perfect set-up for a counter-trend rally. Our advice was to use such a rally to rebalance risk. Did you? The Fed's 25-basis points rate hike, and Friday's quadruple witching deadline, which spurred activity, gave markets the lift necessary to rise into the 200-DMA, which will be challenging resistance this morning. Even if the S&P achieves the 4,600 summit, it doesn't change the dynamics of the corrective process we've been in since October. Markets this morning are over-bought, creating some short-term risk. Today, honor your stop levels, and use any rally to remove more risky investments from your portfolio. Be careful of commodity trades, however--they're very over-bought. Watch for opportunities in companies that tend to have stable earnings growth regardless of the economic environment. -------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/news... -------- Watch the video version of this report by subscribing to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BO32VBAZFl8&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/RealInvestme... https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinves... #MarketRally #MarketCorrection #Recession #OilPrices #Russia #Ukraine #Markets #Money #Investing

(3/17/22) This week's Fed Meeting and monetary policy may be front and center, monetary tightening has been already occurring, thanks to higher energy prices. Will the Fed back off inflationary stance--and protect financial markets, or go full-speed ahead with higher interest rates?

(3/16/22) The news moves markets, and as the Russian invasion of Ukraine remains in the headlines, COVID has been all but eliminated! After sanctions on Russian oil were put in place, oil futures shed 2%. NFIB Survey shows sentiment waning, wage expectations falling, and anticipated sales down. The higher costs for energy are diverting money in household budgets from spending elsewhere. The neighborhood gas station you boycott could be owned by your nextdoor neighbor, and not the oil company you love to hate. New Retirement Legislation on the way--why are there limits on saving? The demographics and math of retirement; why 401k's were a bad idea. The dynamics of stimulus checks combined with bad financial habits; how long will this inflation last?

(3/10/22) The NASDAQ chalked up a 3% gain, and he S&P bounded nearly as much in the biggest one-day gain we've seen in a while. But even with this volatile behavior, markets have been in a consistent decline since January. The out-sized rallies have continued to fail--a hallmark of the correctional process. Below the surface of the average, individual companies are recording losses of up to 30- and 40% off their peaks. The S&P is being sustained by larger companies with the wherewithal to buy back their stocks. Amazon announced a 20:1 stock split and a buy-back program worth $10-B. Thanks to Amazon's effect on market weighting, this activity will further buoy the S&P and NASDAQ. Markets on Wednesday failed to reclaim support at previous levels, closing right at that support level, and as markets open lower this morning, that previous support level will be critical. Markets are over-sold, but not dramatically so, and fuel remains for a bigger correction to the downside. Next week's Fed meeting will be held in the context of what's happening in Russia/Ukraine, and whether OPEC will increase production. Any "good" news could change this dynamic. The big issue between a 10% correction and a rally to new highs is whether the economy falls into recession this year. -------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/news... -------- Watch the video version of this report by subscribing to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPOOHey3Mtc&list=PLVT8LcWPeAujOhIFDH3jRhuLDpscQaq16&index=1 -------- Articles mentioned in this report: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/high-gas-prices-and-recessions https://realinvestmentadvice.com/insights/daily-market-commentary/ -------- 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/RealInvestme... https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinves... #MarketRally #MarketCorrection #Recession #OilPrices #Russia #Ukraine #Markets #Money #Investing

(3/9/22) Oil prices on Tuesday spiked on expectations of sanctions on Russian oil, and as it came to pass, oil futures dropped 2%. Oil had been over-sold by more than three standard deviations, so a pullback was not unexpected. An oil price correction back down to $100/bbl would not be surprising, as a re-test of the 50-DMA--and that could set oil prices to go even higher, still. But high prices are the cure for high prices, and that dynamic is being witnessed. Commodities run together, and Gold is no exception to the current climate. A pullback to $1,950/oz would not be surprising. Equities are looking much better, however, with markets building a tight consolidation--a break to the upside could be fairly strong. Factors affecting this include the Fed's stance at next week's meeting, and/or good news in the Russian-Ukraine conflict, i.e., hostilities ending. Stocks are setting up for a nice counter-trend rally.

(3/8/22) The cost of filling your tank just got real, and it's effectively pulling liquidity out of the market, and slowing down economic growth. Earnings Estimates are too optimistic with consumers having less to spend as a result of higher energy costs. This could bring on Recession before the end of the year. Just because NASDAQ has declined 20% does not make it a bear market--it's the trend that counts. We're primed for a reflexive rally. Do you want to boycotting & virtue signal, or do you want to make money? A commentary on market futures: Buying is easy--selling is the hard part. How will the Russia/Ukraine war impact future earnings of companies like Apple, P&G, etc.?

(3/8/22) Markets sold off on Monday, breaking through support all the way back to October's levels. Markets are not yet on a sell-signal, and not really all that over-sold--meaning, there's still some downside risk with which to be reckoned. We will likely re-test the intra-day lows established when Russia invaded Ukraine. Sentiment remains negative--the CNN Fear & Greed gauge is in the "extreme fear" category. This would suggest we could get a quick rally back up to the 50-DMA, but the trends are still pointing lower--putting pressure on prices at lower levels. So as markets rally, there's not a lot of headroom in which to play. Use these rallies to reduce risk. Higher oil prices and higher energy costs will weigh on outlooks for the rest of the year, and will push us towards a recessionary economy by the end of the year. The surge in oil prices over the past few weeks, thank you, Vladimir Putin, has placed them more than three standard deviations above the moving average. The spread in contracts seen thru the lens of backwardation is the largest in history, suggesting we are at or near the peak in oil prices. Will high prices cure high prices, or will the increase in energy costs trigger a full-fledged recession? There will be a rapid reversal in oil prices at some point. If you're long oil & gas, watch for that reversal--the tell-tale sign to take profits and remove yourself from that trade. It's easy to do the buying, but more difficult to do the selling--don't forget to sell and take profits!

(3/7/22) It might take a short-term loan for your next fill-up: Crude Oil price inflation isn't over; are we seeing the death of ESG investing in the face of fiscal reality? The flaw in investor anchoring--and market perspective. Why high oil prices are essentially tightening money supply; the true cause of inflation, per Milton Friedman (it's Washington's fault); Word of the Day: "Slowbalization."

(3/7/22) Why be invested now, with all the turmoil in the world? Controlling your emotions will help you avoid making mistakes with long-term disadvantages. While markets have started 2022 with a 10% decline (normal in any year), investor anchoring can skew your view: when compared to the all-time highs of October 2021, today's markets are only off by about 3%. The reality is that markets really haven't gone anywhere since last October. The importance of perspective is illustrated even more by looking back a couple of years: In February , 2020 markets were hitting all-time highs, followed by the pandemic-driven shut down. Markets then had a 120% run upwards with little volatility. The 10% correction "blip" is exactly that in the context of a longer-term view over the past two years. That's why perspective is important in keeping investors' emotions in check.

(3/3/22) Markets liked what Jerome Powell had to say to Congress, and continue to consolidate off over-sold conditions of a few days ago, holding support from January's lows. Markets remain in a bullish position, with stock buy backs very supportive of large-caps. Despite geopolitics and inflationary pressures, markets have held their own, going through a corrective process. However, there is still risk to the downside: There are three resistance levels to be conquered. What needs to happen next is a combination of good news, such as a troop withdrawal from Ukraine, or perhaps a complete reversal by the Federal Reserve, suggesting no rate hikes, and a pause in balance sheet shrinkage. Both scenarios are a stretch with inflation running hot. We believe we will see a continued, downward trend for the time being, and if markets do break thru resistance levels, the possibility of a larger correction looms.
