4-17-24 It May Be Time to Rebalance Risk
The Real Investment Show Podcast
Markets have broken the 50-DMA, which certainly says we're in the process of correction. We're on a very defined MACD Sell Signal, markets are oversold, and declining; we are expecting a bounce. We're oversold enough for a counter-trend rally, which should take us back to the 50-DMA: That is the point at which you should lighten up some positions, if needed, and do a little rebalancing. This does NOT mean to cut weight in general. Look for opportunities to rebalance risk. Hosted by RIA Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer...

4-15-24 Cracks Appear in the Market's Bullish Armor
The Real Investment Show Podcast
Tax Day woes and audit fears; earnings season commences; What are companies saying? No corporate buybacks, removing major buyers of assets; pay attention to companies' guidance. Markets last week failed at 20-DMA, and tested 50-DMA as momentum slowed. Is not the time to sell? Use any bounce to rebalance risk, but avoid any knee-jerk reactions. Could this be a "buy-the-dip moment?" Lance's favorite bowl is like the market: There's a hairline crack. Inflation has been stickier, and higher-for-longer interest rates have been too high for too long. Preview: Tuesday's article on the Reflation...

4-15-24 Is Now the Time to Sell?
The Real Investment Show Podcast
Markets last week failed at the 20-DMA, and began to test the 50-DMA as momentum began to slow. The narrow trend channel had begun weakening, and the break in the 20-DMA was the first crack to appear in the market's bullishness. The question now is: Do you Sell? By the time markets have confirmed a sell signal, they're already oversold. Don't forget that we're still in the seasonally strong period of the year, and we're moving into what is likely to be a fairly good earnings season. So don't over-react; use whatever rally we get today or tomorrow to rebalance risk in your portfolio. Move...

The Real Investment Show Podcast
CFP testing results & commentary on professional credentialling; the importance of the Health/Wealth connection; the importance of continuing education (CE); a brief history of JP Morgan and "too big to fail."

What clients "think" about portfolios is the toughest thing for advisors...

4-11-24 Is Inflation Too Hot to Handle?
The Real Investment Show Podcast
CPI Inflation clocks in hotter than expected, with more data to come; car insurance inflation is an out-of-the-blue surprise (unless you recently renewed your policy!) What does the Fed do next? Markets are pricing-in NO rate cuts in June...and maybe not at all this year. Markets trace the 20-DMA, building a rounded top as momentum slows; beginning to confirm a take-down of the 20-DMA. Economic growth is slowing; insurance inflation spike "smells like" an adjustment; it's a lagging indicator. Homeowners equivalent rent is also a lagging indicator. It's not a question of if, but when inflation...

4-11-24 Will Markets Break the Trendline?
The Real Investment Show Podcast
Last year's market rally amid the AI chase and hopefulness for Fed rate cuts tracked right along a narrow channel around the 20-DMA. Then came Summer, and a market correction that hit in October. Markets formed a rounded top during that action, which is what we're beginning to see currently. Markets have operated similarly in a defined range along the 20-DMA and are now developing another rounded-top as the market starts to lose momentum. Theoretically, markets could take out last Thursday's low today...a process that is beginning to confirm a break in the trendline that goes all the way back...

4-10-24 Can Social Security Be Saved?
The Real Investment Show Podcast
It's CPI Day (with m/m inflation clocking in with a .4% increase, and a y/y gain to 3.8%, hotter than expected). Sheila Jackson-Lee's science experiment; the NFIB Survey does not bode well for small businesses:Sentiment falls to a new low based on poor sales. There remains a dichotomy between headline economic news and what's happening behind the scenes. Markets break below the 20-DMA, but regain support. Why what really matters is the data the Fed looks at. Portfolio Spring Cleaning; Five or six ways to save Social Security (but first, a history of SS); the mathematical realities. Why...

4-10-24 Markets Hang Onto Support...barely
The Real Investment Show Podcast
Markets continue to hang onto support at the 20-DMA by its fingertips. Expectations are for a .3% increase in inflation last month. (There's a mini-scandal swirling over the BLS releasing the data early to a few select banks.) [This report was recorded before the release of inflation numbers, up .3% m/m and up 3.8% y/y.] The change in calculating rent inflation raises the question of whether we're measuring the data or just manipulating it. A weak print will put us back on track of the 20-DMA trendline; a hot print could break support, pushing us towards the 50-DMA. If we get something close...
