Market Summary:
The big question right now is has the market bottomed? Or is this just another bear market rally before heading lower? Of course, no one knows the answer, but I will be open-minded and continue to analyze the positives and negatives in the market. The biggest positive is clearly the market is showing us the areas of relative strength. Many stocks in the Biotech, Biomedical, and Medical Products sectors are at or near new highs. The biggest negative is this past week’s advance occurred on lighter and lighter volume, showing that the big institutions are not convincingly coming back into the market.
The conclusion is the same: Stay defensive and be patient. Whenever there are mixed signals in the market, I will always lean towards being defensive and letting the market prove itself before getting more invested. Right now, I am approximately 50% invested in many of the names discussed in recent videos. That way, if the market continues higher, I will at least have exposure in some of the strongest names. If the market has another leg lower, hopefully being in some strong names and having a high amount of cash can cushion some of the downside. Either way, if we do get one more leg down, I am still expecting a bottom around August/September of this year and a fourth quarter rally. If you have any questions or would like me to review any stocks not covered in this video, you can ask them during the next webinar which will be Sunday, July 10th at 7PM EST. Thank you and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
