Earlier in my career, it used to take about 2-3 months for sentiment to change from being bullish to bearish (and vice versa). Now, it feels like it only takes about 2-3 weeks. Here are some reasons why. 1) We have so much information in real-time, especially our account balances. Years ago, people used to [...]

HERE IS THE MARKET NOTE I SENT TO EDUCATIONAL MEMBERS TONIGHT. I tweeted that I reduced my equity exposure today and I received many emails asking me questions. The first main question is “why?” No one ever needs to justify locking in some profits. The simple answer is I’m up nicely to start the quarter [...]

We started a new bull market powered by artificial intelligence in May of 2023. I wrote about it on this blog several times and discussed it during this TV appearance last year. Here are my updated thoughts. 1) Some people say the bull market started around the October 2022 lows, and others say it started [...]

I tweeted on Tuesday night (4/16/24) that I feel the bulk of this recent market pullback is over. Before I continue, I want to remind everyone that I don't regularly update this blog.

The reason for this strength was the Federal Reserve signaling they were done with their interest rate hiking cycle. The market is a discounting mechanism and tends [...]

Here is the Market Note I sent to Education Members on 12/17/23: After running my Educational Product for almost 4 years, I am surprised that the recent strength in the market caused more stress for people than the bear market of 2022. I received more emails from members in November than I did during the [...]

In early November, I wrote a blog post discussing four reasons for a year-end rally. They included: 1) The big institutions were coming back into the market because the Fed signaled they are done raising interest rates. 2) Sentiment. Most people are bearish and underinvested. 3) Seasonality. November and December are historically two of the [...]

Here are the reasons I am expecting continued strength into the end of the year. 1) The big institutions are back! Since they control the market, it’s important to analyze what they are doing, and they came back last week with strong volume. The main reason was they interpreted the Federal Reserve is done with [...]
