Inflation? This, Too, Shall Pass | 3 Minutes on Markets & Money [5/13/21]

How long will inflation last? This is not the 1970's -- economic shut down and trillions in economic stimulus weren't there then. Is this inflation sustainable or transitory? Look at CPI with Base Effects, and watch them work through the system. Also, Inflation cannot grow much faster than economic growth over time.

Is the NASDAQ the Place to Be? | 3 Minutes on Markets & Money [5/12/21]

Is the NASDAQ the place to be during the sell-off? Money Flow gap between indicators and actual money flows is narrowing. NASDAQ is more over-sold than S&P at this point, and so may out-perform--may not go down as much! S&P indicator is still negative, keeping containment in sideways movement.

If Everyone Sees It, Is It Still a Bubble? [5/11/21]

“A bubble is a market cycle that is characterized by the rapid escalation of market value, particularly in the price of assets. Typically, what creates a bubble is a surge in asset prices driven by exuberant market behavior. During a bubble, assets typically trade at a price that greatly exceeds the asset’s intrinsic value. Rather, the price does not align with the fundamentals of the asset.“ -Investopedia Lance Roberts, CIO, RIA Advisors Chief...

Technically Speaking: If Everyone Sees It, Is It Still A Bubble?

“If everyone sees it, is it still a bubble?” That was a great question I got over the weekend. As a “contrarian” investor, it is usually when “everyone” is talking about an event; it doesn’t happen. As Mark Hulbert noted recently, “everyone” is worrying about a “bubble” in the stock market.

Some valuations have been stretched, but the market as a...
