Markets continue pattern of Friday sell-off, setting lower highs and lower lows, creating a declining trendline channel. There are still reasons to be cautious; earnings reporting will lessen this week, as buybacks resume. Market consolidation is healthy, with nothing really negative going on. We are close to triggering a short term MACD sell signal. So long as money flows remain positive, markets should retain their current range of support. This is a time for patience; fight the urge to "do something." Hosted by RIA Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO Produced by...

Money flows continue to creep upward with continued buying. Lance and Michael spend the remaining segments of the show discussing money, currencies, and concepts of money supply management: All money is lent into existence.

Markets rallied off support at the 20-DMA and 50-DMA's and had a nice finish for the day. That kept from triggering a MACD Sell Signal, so markets remain in a bullish trend for the moment.

Money flows continue to creep upward with continued buying. There was a sharp upswing in AMD buying, even though the stock was down. Will there be carry-through in the semiconductor space?

Markets enjoyed a nice rally Tuesday after Monday's tariff-inspired action, closing right at the 50-DMA. the 20-DMA is about to bullishly cross above the 50-DMA, suggesting markets are still trending, and money flows are still coming into the markets fairly well. Markets today need to hold support at the 50-DMA so they can push onward and upward. If, however, the market closes lower today, watch for a MACD sell signal to be triggered. We're about halfway through the correction from the post-inauguration rally. If the present volatility is weighing on you, then you've got too much risk in...

Well that was fast. Over the weekend, President Trump announced tariffs of 25% on both Canada and Mexico, as well as a 10% tariff on China. The announcement of tariffs set the market on its heels Monday morning as media writers quickly pushed narratives about the potential impacts. However, as suggested on the “Real Investment Show” before the market opened on Monday, the best thing to do would be “nothing.” We stated the market’s opening would likely be the worst level of the day, so any “panic selling” of positions early in the morning would likely be a mistake. Early in the...

Money flows continue to be positive, despite all the negative headlines and news over the past couple of weeks. Admittedly, this is part of the overall cycle, with markets over bought and now going through a corrective phase. Halfway through a recovery, we're near the trigger point for a short-term sell signal, with only a little downside pressure. A consolidation is not surprising at this juncture. Also, we're midway through earnings season, and next week will see the buy back window open much wider. Markets today will once again flirt with the 20- and 50-DMA; markets need some "muster" to...

Markets have been doing "okay" as of late, in a large trading range for past couple of months. Markets will open today below the 20-DMA in a knee-jerk open in response to President Trump's promise over the weekend to impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico. We'll be watching for signs of the market processing the news, and see where things stabilize later in the day. This is a day to Do Nothing, and wait for the dust to settle, just like last Monday. We close to triggering a sell signal. Markets have been in a consolidation range, with no reason to be concerned so long as trading remains...

Apple's outlook will set the tone for today's market action; the January effect will be set by the end of the day. Rich & Matt discuss tariffs & volatility; Mexico and Canada are targets. Inflation data due today with the PCE report. The FEd's target is still 2%, and there's no reason to lower rates for now. This is forcing markets to shift focus; why a little inflation is a good thing. The US Tax Code can make you cry like Selena Gomez: Rich & Matt discuss inflation-adjusted tax brackets and standard deduction changes; Qualified Charitable Donations, Quarterly estimated tax...

There was a sharp upswing in AMD buying, even though the stock was down. Will there be carry-through in the semiconductor space? The latest economic data has also been helping the Bond market, with Ten-year Treasury yields dropping sharply through the 20-DMA and 50-DMA based on Trade Deficit and ISM Services Index numbers suggesting the economy is weaker than thought. The apparent trend seems to be for a continuation of slowing economic news, and the next test for Yields will be at around 4.2% or 4.3%.
