The Real Investment Show Podcast

Markets sold off, as expected, for the first trading day of September. Market action has been very compressed, with not a lot of volatility. Markets ARE moving, but not in big moves in one direction or the other. This tends to lend to a lot of complacency in the market. Markets DID break through the 20-DMA, but a break is only valid if it holds through the end of the week. IF that occurs, the 50-DMA is the next level of key support, and below that, it's a long way down before reaching any significant levels of support. Still, the market is continuing its low-volatility rise. The negative...

The Real Investment Show Podcast

Markets closed down a bit on Friday ahead of a long, holiday weekend, but still maintained its bullish trend. The 20-DMA is continuing to act as running trend support, and bullishly-speaking, the market is doing just fine. The trend line support is very important because trading algorithms and systematic traders have all moved their stops up to that 20-DMA; if we DO get a confirmed violation of the 20-Day, we could see more selling pressure come into play. Just below that is the 50-DMA, which will become much more critical for support: If the market takes out the 50-DMA, a LOT of programmatic...

Markets are doing fine, sitting right at all time highs, and money flows have been improving. Relative strength has improved, but still has a negative divergence. Nvidia was also sitting at all time highs, but will not be surprised to see it open lower. From a  fundamental perspective, Nvidia is operating on "all cylinders," only the ultra-optimistic observers were disappointed in the company's earnings report. The Small-cap/Mid-cap space (IWM) has been performing better, but here's the concern: About 40% of these companies have NO profits, and are zombie companies, surviving on debt...

The Real Investment Show Podcast

Markets rallied Tuesday, still in a tight trading range. Negative divergence continues, and market breadth remains low, with a lot of stocks NOT participating in this action. There is no market concern; this level of complacency is what sets up for an eventual correction. And while a 5% might be expected (and normal), it will be painful following this elongated period of gains. Low volatility begets high volatility; all markets need is a catalyst.   Hosted by RIA Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO  Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Watch the Video...
