Is Kabul the Catalyst for Markets to Fall? | Three Minutes on Markets & Money 8/16/21
(8/16/21) The collapse of Kabul, Afghanistan, tops the news, but it likely will not be much of a catalyst for markets--not as much as the Fed's role and its move to taper quantitative easing. Markets are already competing with the economy for liquidity. Like Kabul, consumer confidence is collapsing as stimulus payments run out. Markets are holding on at marginal highs with the largest equity inflows on record--both those flows are declining. We're...

Why Markets Aren’t Making Progress | Three Minutes on Markets & Money 8/12/21
(8/12/21) Here are four stocks we're watching today, as investors digest why markets aren't making much headway, despite setting another, new high on Tuesday. Earnings are good, forward guidance is good, but stocks aren't getting much benefit from those results.

Market Sector Winners & Losers |Three Minutes on Markets & Money 8/11/21
(8/11/21) Markets hit an all time high, but didn't do much with it. Despite record earnings and good economic news, markets haven't gotten much traction, and in that process, money flows into the market are rapidly deteriorating and bringing us closer to a correctional period. A re-test of the 50-DMA and a break in that point would set up for about a 12% decline down to the 200-DMA--well within the context of time and duration. The decline in...

The Real Truth Behind the “Infrastructure” Bill | The Real Investment Show (Full Show EDIT) 8/10/21
New Job Openings and Jobless Claims numbers put the Fed in a box ahead of the Jackson Hole meeting, with growing calls for tapering Quantitative Easing. Congress' "Infrastructure" Bill is a pork-laden monstrosity that will further encumber the economy and generations to come with more debt. Markets are continuing to test the 200-DMA during one of the longest periods without a market correction. Something's gotta give.

Markets Are Primed for Correction | Three Minutes on Markets & Money 8/10/21
Markets are up 18% for the year...so far, but the breadth of the markets is weakening, setting up for some type of inevitable correction. The deviation between the S&P and the 200-DMA is at an all-time high. Combined with declining money flows, money flow signals set to flip, and declining volume--and the length of time since the last correction--the pump is more than primed for a return to the 200-DMA.
