9-4-25 Markets' Bullish Trend Remains Intact | Before the Bell
The Real Investment Show Podcast
Markets were flat for the day on Wednesday until the end of the session, when markets rallied above the 20-DMA to keep the bullish trend intact. Each intraday pullback exposes the 'buy-the-dip' mentality. But that doesn't move the needle much in terms of relative strength or momentum, which remain rather weak. Markets just haven't made much of a move in a while. That is the type of activity seen when markets are trying to slow the pace and prepare for a pullback (not a MAJOR correction). The longer markets trade sideways and work off over-bought positions, the better the opportunity that will...

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...

8/28/25 Nvidia Falls Short
The Real Investment Show Podcast

8-28-25 Gold is Liquidity Source for Stocks | Before the Bell
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...
info_outlineMarkets 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 divergence in momentum and relative strength remains, and appears to be increasing, and that tends to lead to bigger corrective action. Was Tuesday's sell-off the start of a correction, which would align with September's reputation as a "weaker" month for markets? The Thing to watch will be the 50-DMA, as key support. There are a lot of trading algorithms lined up at the 50-DMA, and a break below that level will trigger a lot of selling. That risk is worth a bit of hedging in your portfolio at least until we get through the month.
