Markets rebounded this past month, albeit with plenty of volatility. But the net result was a 1,500+ gain in the Dow Jones Industrial Markets. Unemployment, of course, is still pressuring the economy, with some 29.5 million Americans without jobs. However, the housing market perked with...

While we are definitely not out of the woods yet—with the economy and the markets—we are making progress. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has had a nice bounce back, albeit, with some volatility. We can expect that to continue, probably through year-end. As can...

Going Defensive In light of today’s negative reaction to the Federal Reserve’s so-called “Emergency” rate cut to 0% on Sunday (in reality, a panic move), we are advising additional defensive adjustments to our Model Fund Portfolio, reducing allocations to Energy and Consumer Discretionary ETFs increasing...

Bullish, but be Discerning It’s been another solid week for the market, with the major indexes kiting higher and, while individual stocks were a bit more mixed and news-driven, most are acting just fine. Overall, not much has really changed from a week ago—the vast of...

Market Views Growth still the Sweet Spot Our U.S. equity timing model remains on its November 1 buy signal. Small-cap growth remains stronger than small-cap value. There are no other consistent style preferences in relative strength. 10-year Treasury note yields have settled into the 1.80%-1.90% Our...

Market Views Quiet for Now Stocks finished a relatively quiet session lower today, after trading on both sides of breakeven amid waning optimism over Friday's partial trade deal between Beijing and Washington. Reports emerged that China wishes to continue trade talks before finalizing the "phase deal,...

Market Views Shifting to Value We have a lot of market analysts who are at a loss to understand the rotation(s) that have enabled stocks to work higher (and challenge highs) even at the risk of crying alarms. The hedgers and many technicians do so, the...

Market Views One Stock at a Time The major indexes are tilted to the upside to start the week. However, under the surface, we’re continuing to see increasing selling pressure on most growth stocks, including a bunch of names from leading areas like software and While...

Market Views No Longer Overbought Technically, the S&P 500 has corrected most of an overbought condition with a 2.73% decline from its July 16 high. News-related volatility will likely continue as the market enters its least favorable season. But, sentiment gauges have begun to improve a..

Market Views Be Ready for Profit-Taking The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average were little changed today on slightly negative breadth on the NYSE. Broad foreign equity ETFs (EFA, EEM, VEU) also had a quiet day. However, small and mid-cap ETFs fell about 1⁄2%. The Russell...

Market Views Mixed Signals The $SPX chart is still bearish, because there are lower highs and lower lows on its chart. Oversold rallies typically carry from their lows up to and slightly above the declining 20-day moving average. That’s exactly what this rally has done far...

Market Views Be Ready for Profit-Taking I see yields and stocks falling considerably more than this in the months ahead. Likewise, I think gold’s countdown is nearing its end, prior to re-launching in more dramatic fashion its interrupted secular bull market. But these moves—or at least of...

Market Views Watch for Violation of Lows Technically, not much has changed since last week. Momentum indicators on the major averages remain overbought for the short, intermediate, and the long term. Market sentiment shows high optimism (a contrary indicator), suggesting short-term caution. Today’s decline and were...

Market Views Bullish, but Cautious No basic changes for our overall views of a market capable of extending; but just in a guarded way. It measures higher, as its mostly fully-valued for big-cap leaders; hence vulnerable to shakeouts. Equity markets, the Fed’s calmer monetary policy, generally to...
