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 Morning, I woke up this morning and looked  at the notifications on my phone and I was like what? A criminal investigation of Jerome Powell? What kind of fake Facebook post is that?? Then I saw a thing or two from a couple of the major networks and I immediately realized that this might…

    Good Day, Well this is the last blog of 2025. Was it a better year? Well the returns were better but you had to work harder to get them as well. Overall, it was a volatile year with the Fed interest rate/ Inflation issue, tariffs,  the AI trade and the government shut down dominating the…
