1-15-25 CPI Encourages Markets show art 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 show art 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,...

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...

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? show art 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...

1-9-25 Why Are Bond Yields Rising? show art 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 show art 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...

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.

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. Fundamentals matter over the long term.  SEG-1:...

The Real Investment Show Podcast

Today is the 5th Trading Day of January, and as go the first five days of the year, so goes the month of January, and so goes the rest of the year...according to the January Barometer. We are in the middle of the January Barometer: If markets close higher today, we will have successfully created a positive first-five-days-of-the-year. But just barely. Note: We failed the Santa Claus Rally, we are threatening to close lower today (Dow Futures are down during this recording), and today's result will trigger the second leg of the January Barometer. HOWEVER: In 2024, we had a negative First Five...

The Big news overnight is that Bitcoin hit $100,000 with President-election Trump's appointment of pro-cryptonian, Paul Atkins, to return as SEC Chief. Consider, Bitcoin was at $60k back in October; this recent climb culminates a long period of consolidation. Caution should be the watchword, however, as Bitcoin is highly deviated from its long-term moving averages. Eventually, it will get a pullback. Technology also had a big breakout Wednesday, after a long period of consolidation following the Yen Carry Trade blowup. Markets are very optimistic, very bullish, which is moving asset prices higher. We're seeing massive inflows of money into equities and ETF's, particularly in leveraged ETF's.  There is a lot of speculative investing going on. Investors need to continue to manage risk.
