2024-02-21
It’s Nvidia earnings reporting day, and as tech companies have driven markets of late, the results, and the company’s forward guidance, could have a huge effect. Earnings expectations are extremely high; risk of disappointment is high. The S&P is testing a rising trendline at the 20-DMA, against a negative divergence in relative strength. The dichotomy is unsustainable. The Conference Board releases latest survey of leading economic indicators, down for a 23rd consecutive month (but no one is expecting Recession!) What is keeping us out of Recession is remaining liquidity from government cash injections. No Recession because of "strong consumer spending," but is it, really? Spending more at the store, but buying the same or less. WSJ survey shows grocery spending as % of income at a
It’s CPI Day! – the Impact Gas prices may Have
2024-02-13
(2/13/24) It’s CPI Day (the Consumer Price Index increased .3% in January; on an annualized basis, CPI dropped from December 3.4% to 3.1% for January.) Actors, do not lie on your application (especially involving roller skates and the Super Bowl Halftime!) Amazon hit with class action lawsuit over upcharge for ad-free viewing. Markets start Monday flat, spike a bit, and end flat. Correction is one day closer today than yesterday; why managing risk makes sense. That doesn’t mean going all to cash. Romance scams abound for Valentine’s Day; how might gasoline prices factor into today’s CPI print?

Market returns for 2024 start at zero; the Santa Claus Rally continues; wait a bit for investing opportunity. Looking at Liquidity: What is needed for market corrections? Something no one expects. If you’re thinking about it, the market has already priced it in. It will be something to which markets cannot quickly adapt. Fireworks and dogs, January historical performance; three reasons for investor shortfalls; Investor resolutions for the new year. Reviewing Market Performance for 2023: It’s okay to pay taxes; means you made money. Three Rules for Investors: Homework, homework, homework.
