Is it Time for Value? Risk-off Shift Into Value Stocks Takes Hold

2021-12-06

by

"(12/6/21) Markets are fairly over-sold on multiple levels; but with MACD sell-signals still in place, there remains short-term risk to the downside. Markets are in a very defined downtrend with support holding at the 50-DMA. We're seeing a risk-off rotational shift into more value-oriented stocks--also what you'd expect to see when mutual funds execute their capital gains distributions at the end of the year. We anticipate this activity to...

2021-12-01

by

(12/1/21) Is the sell-off over--and is it time to buy stocks? After Jerome Powell mentioned retiring the word, "transitory," and speeding the rate of taper, stocks took a dive.

Is There an End in Sight to this Market Correction?

2021-11-30

by

DESCRIPTION: "(11/30/21) Despite Monday's rally, markets are still in correction mode, and the Omicron variant is providing the "excuse" for correction to occur. It's important to note that Friday's decline, in a half-day of light-volume trading, was followed by a Cyber Monday rally in a full day of activity, with only half the volume of Friday's rout. The Omicron variant is still a source of concern this morning. This consolidation...

by

(11/29/21) The Omicron Variant of the COVID virus shook Wall Street, turning Black Friday red, as the uncertainty surrounding this new variant proved too much to overcome.

Is a Jerome Powell 2nd Term a Bad Thing for Markets?

2021-11-23

by

(11/23/21) Jerome Powell gets Joe Biden's nod for another round as Federal Reserve Chairman, which markets initially liked until the realization hit that another term for St. Jerome most assuredly means the potential between three and five interest rate hikes in 2022. Additionally, talk of accelerating the Fed's tapering of monetary accommodation, further exacerbated stocks...and perhaps the lighter-than-normal sessions of Thanksgiving week kept...

Is There Any Upside Left?

2021-11-22

by

(11/12/21) Investor complacency can be demonstrated by markets apparent lack of motivation despite rising rates and rising inflation, a condition that's not too surprising, given the Fed's more active intervention in the markets since 2000. Stocks are trading at their upper range of the Bollinger bands, suggesting there's not a lot of upside left, currently. Money Flow indicators are fairly over-sold this week, and MACD's are still in a sell...
