9-3-25 Is Tuesday's Market Drop the Start of Correction? | Before the Bell
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...

9-2-25 Be Cautious With Allocations | Before the Bell
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...

The Real Investment Show Podcast
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...
