Good Evening,

I’ll start this message with a little known statistic that James DePorre pointed out yesterday. “Only twice in 35-years has the NYSE Index been at all-time highs, when the Russell 2000 broke below its 200 MA line. Those two times were in 1999 & 2007.” That’s a ridiculously ominous statistic, and it only reinforces the fact that we’ve been taking the less-is-more approach lately. Folks, I have been warning you all. The major indices are extremely misleading right now. Is anyone out there listening????? On to the day’s action. I could cut and paste from yesterday: Another day, another reversal and yes we’re still in the zone. Today’s close for the S&P 500 at 1875.90 keeps us well in the trading zone we have been in since February (1840 to 1890). We reverse, we rally, we dip, and yet when it’s all over we are still in the zone…

 

Stocks: Investors run to blue chips

The S Fund (small caps) got trashed again today which does not bode well for the market as a whole. Small caps losing momentum is part of the topping process so it is not unexpected. Until we see the major indices correct we’re in for more of the same. Here’s what the SPY looked like today:
SPY is very close to making record highs, but below average volume persists.
0508
While the Nasdaq has suffered some as of late, the S&P 500 and Dow are both close to upper resistance. I still expect them to be repelled at that level and eventually turn down for a real correction. It may or may not come in the month of May as I predicted, but it’s on the way. Is anyone listening??? That’s all for tonight. Have a nice evening and may
God bless you and yours.

    Good Afternoon, I am certainly praying for all of you effected by the ongoing government shutdown. I have been there done that and it was no fun. So far the market has shook the shutdown off as it obviously thinks that it won’t last long. My thought is that the market won’t give the shutdown…

    Good Morning, Well this months almost over and so far the major indices are still holding modest gains in the +1.5% range. If we can manage to hold onto or add to those gains we will have achieved what a lot of folks said we could not do. We will have made a profit when…

    Good Morning, Well we got the Fed meeting that we wanted with a quarter point interest rate decrease with the indication that the Fed is planning on two more rate cuts in 2025. As a result, we find ourselves in the odd position of holding a profit in late September. I said in last weeks…
