1-15-25 CPI Encourages Markets

The Real Investment Show Podcast

Markets have been flirting with the 100-DMA over the past few days, breaking it twice. But money flows have been coming into the markets, enabling recovery by the end of the day, and holding support at that level. Money flows still have a slight, negative tinge, but it's improving. Any good news today will result in a fairly decent rebound in the markets. This morning's CPI report reflected lighter core inflation than expected for December. Lance explains why we increased exposure to energy stocks and reduced other positions ahead of earnings reports. Hosted by RIA Chief Investment...

1-14-25 Tactically Bearish As Risks Increase

The Real Investment Show Podcast

PPI & CPI Preview: Earnings season is about to commence, followed by the opening of the Buy Back window. Higher yields (and term premiums) are weighing on markets. Term premiums are just a measure of sentiment; watch what companies say, impacted by higher yields. Markets rally to just above the 100-DMA. Lance reviews investor sentiment, credit spreads, and market valuation (which charts). Noting the (limited) impact of taffis on a service-oriented economy. Being “tactically bearish” does NOT mean we are expecting a bear market or a severe market crash. Regarding portfolio management,...

1-14-25 PPI Disappoints

The Real Investment Show Podcast

Markets rally to close just above 100-DMA on Monday. (If you're using a moving average as a stop-loss, don't initially react to a break!) Markets are typically oversold by the time those moving averages are violated. This morning's PPI will weigh on markets today (0.2% vs 0.4% EST), as will tomorrow's CPI number. There is lots of volatility potential for the next few days. With this cooler PPI print, markets could move higher: Markets are very negatively biased towards these reports, with expectations for a hotter number. How will markets respond to today's cooler count? Hosted by RIA...

1-13-25 Investor Resolutions for 2025

The Real Investment Show Podcast

The Cleveland Fed's expectations for increased inflation; Oil prices rise on increased Russia sacntions (thanks, Joe Biden); economic impact of California wildfires & the Broken Window Theory: There will be a short-term uptick from rebuilding activity. Markets point lower on hawkish Fed tone; current correction process is normal. There is not data to support investor sentiment on inflation sparked by tariffs; how we really create inflation. Employment increases inflation. Companies are front-running tariffs. Rising interest rates lead to valuation reversals. Every year, Dalbar Research...

1-13-25 How Low Can Markets Go?

The Real Investment Show Podcast

Markets will open lower this morning on continued inflation fears and the Fed's more hawkish stance. BUT...stocks have been really over bought and over deviated: Remember in December we were talking about over deviated stocks and the need for a correction. So now, selling pressure is continuing to revert that overbought condition, and so a correction should be no surprise. If markets do not recover today (we're right on the 100-DMA), there really is no additional support until markets go significantly lower towards the 200-DMA. That being said, it's not going to take s lot to create a bit of a...

1-10-25 What the Social Security Fairness Acts Means for Your Retirement

The Real Investment Show Podcast

Richard and Jonathan discuss the narratives that are driving the markets, and the fear factor for bond investors. Is the response to tariff threats an over-reaction? How to deal with emotions in investing. Menwhile, job satisfaction is highest among the 60+ crowd: The group has been working longer, and understands the value of socialization; retirement planning shold include qualitative elements. A look at Gen-z Worth Ethic. The Social Security Fairness Act is now the law of the land, signed on Sunday by President Biden. It promises to erase rules that penalized some retirees by eliminating...

1-9-25 Why Are Bond Yields Rising?

The Real Investment Show Podcast

Markets barely achieved a positive close on Wednesday, to create a string of positive action for the first five trading days in January. (Markets are closed today in honor of the late President Jimmy Carter.) There's a market consolidation underway, with the 20-DMA and 50-DMA about to cross. Lance & Michael discuss the Fed's sentiment shift about inflation, and the non-corellation between interest rates and inflation. The Fed may have cut interest rates, but markets have raised them; the actual effects of Fed rate cuts are deflationary. Fed policy is still restrictive; economy is back to...

1-9-25 DMA Crossovers Are Not a Death Knell

The Real Investment Show Podcast

Wall Street axioms can be fun, but remember that they're based on historical averages. Which brings up the January Barometer: As go the first five trading days of January, so goes the month; and as goes the month of January, so goes the year. Markets eked out a positive day on Wednesday to barely produce a positive string of five trading days. But anything can happen. One thing to be wary of: The 20-DMA is close to crossing the 50-DMA. Markets have been doing okay in a continuation of consolidating that began back in August, but the proximity of those two moving averages to one another is...

1-8-25 Market Reversal: Implications Now

The Real Investment Show Podcast

With Friday's December Employment Report waiting in the wings, it's fair to ask what happened to the December JOLTS Report. Investors are questioning whether we'll see continued growth from December. What does Q4 GDP at 2.7% really mean? Understanding the data and reading the January Barometer (so far). Lance shares his screen in commenting on sector rotations. Dan Niles' predciton of a 20% correction this year: Lance's reality check. Crash vs correction. Lance discusses the importance of an investing process: Rules to offset emotional bias.

What should you anticipate for your market playbook as 2024 comes to an end? The S&P has continued its steady trend along the 20-DMA, with a few tests of the 50- and 100-DMA's along the way. While we have had very low volatility this year, we're expecting a bit of a correction between the 8th and the 15th of the month. Likely nothing dramatic, just back to the 20-DMA. After that, portfolio managers will begin the process known as "window dressing:" putting the best possible performers on their books for positive year-end results. That will likely trigger a "Santa Claus Rally" into the first five days of January.
