Here's the Last Inflationary Bear Market We Had

I know it is a Friday in late-May, with summer ahead of us after a grueling winter. So, you will pardon my sobering update here. But I do believe it to be quite instructive. The last time this country saw a protracted inflationary bear market was from 1966-1982. While it is certainly true that there are various differences between now and...

They're Trying to Mask it From You

While ARKK and many downtrodden growth stocks catch a bid today we have shares of AAPL (below on daily chart) hitting their lowest levels since July 2021. With a $2.22 trillion market cap, and the trifecta of ETF component weightings (DIA QQQ, and SPY), Apple is as serious as serious gets for this market. We know Buffett is still in the name,...

Oh, Have Another One!

I know I am dating myself with Toll Booth Willie references (about thirty years ago at this point). However, it is worth driving home the point that the transportation stocks, which got many bulls quite giddy as summer approaches regarding pent-up demand for travel and general post-COVID animal spirits, have actually gone in the other...

Cash First, Ask Questions Later

With many key spots in the market, be it with the Dow (on the DIA ETF daily chart, below) or any number of prominent stocks, giving up multiple sessions worth of gains all at once today, I elected to move back to full cash with Members a few hours ago. With the exception of a recent ag long I took on late yesterday, I was able to escape with a...

That's an Excellent Question, Mr. Lombardi

Shares of Target are getting eviscerated after earnings, to the point where no one even bothers to make the Americana joke of "Target or Tar-Jay" with regard to the retailer's pronunciation. Some broad market jitters off the TGT pounding is not too surprising, though. However, what is surprising is the action below the surface thus far today....

The Next Maneuver

Tech and bios are among the leaders of this morning's bounce, as the conventional wisdom that this is a mere "bear market rally" seem to be rather dismissive or skeptical of the move. Granted, I myself believe this is a bear market rally. However, I suspect a few more weeks of this type of action, sandwiching Memorial Day Weekend, will shift...

You Don't Have to Be a Private Eye to Figure it Out

Energy and agricultural products continue to rise this morning despite a mostly red opening for stocks as a group, as The Fed talking heads keep resting their hopes that inflation will magically recede to make their lives easier. In reality, as The Fed willingly stays miles behind the curve headed into summer, where oil and gasoline demand...
