| Why we increased exposure to markets leading up to the first trading week of April: The Barbell Approach. Consolidation patterns enabled participation in The Great Re-opening, but hedging against things not working out as well as we expect. Two buy signals confirming markets’ direction–first level of support ready to be tested. Money flow buy signals triggered at higher than normal level, which could prove to be shorter than usual; the real risk of bigger correction coming in the Summer.

Technically Speaking: Hedge Funds Ramp Up Exposure
2021-08-03
The “Fear Of Missing Out” has infected retail and hedge funds alike as they ramp up exposure to chase performance. We have previously discussed the near “mania” of retail investors taking on exceptional risk in various manners. From increasing leverage, engaging in speculative options trading, and taking out personal loans to invest, it’s all evidence of overconfident investors.
The Lifeline of Markets – Liquidity Defined
2021-06-30
We recently read an analogy in which the author compares the current state of asset prices to an airplane flying at 50,000 feet. Unfortunately, we cannot find the article and provide a link. The gist is market valuations are flying at an abnormally high altitude. While our market plane cannot sustain such heights in the long run, there is little reason to suspect it will fall from the sky either.

Technically Speaking: If Everyone Sees It, Is It Still A Bubble?
2021-05-11
“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.
#MacroView: Are Stocks Cheap, Or Just Another Rationalization?
2021-05-07
Are stocks “cheap,” or is this just another bullish “rationalization.” Such was the suggestion by the consistently bullish Brian Wesbury of First Trust in a research note entitled “Yes, Stocks Are Cheap.” To wit:
“The Fed remains highly accommodative, there are trillions of dollars of cash on the sidelines, vaccines have reached over 50% of Americans, and the economy is expanding rapidly. Some valuations have been stretched, but the market as a whole remains undervalued. As a result, we remain bullish and are lifting our targets.”
Yes, it is true the Fed remains highly accommodative, which has undoubtedly pushed asset prices higher. In fact, financial conditions recently reached a historic low, which suggests elevated asset valuations ironically.
We have busted the “myth of cash on the

Last week, we said:
“The market is trading well into 3-standard deviations above the 50-dma, and is overbought by just about every measure. Such suggests a short-term ‘cooling-off’ period is likely. With the weekly ‘buy signals’ intact, the markets should hold above key support levels during the next consolidation phase.”
“As shown above, that is what is currently occurring. While
Seth Levine: Bitcoin Doesn’t Fix Defi, Defi Fixes Bitcoin
2021-05-02
Does Bitcoin Fix Defi (Definancialization)? “Bitcoin fixes this.” I cringe every time I see this popular meme. I find it worse than nails on a chalkboard. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies (crypto) supporters seem to wheel this tired trope out for every problem they see, particularly at economic ones. To their credit, they genuinely want to fix the financial system’s problems.
