Stretching February to the absolute limit this week, as earnings season winds down. Next up: Economic activity metrics. Why are economists giving up on Recession, now expecting 2% growth? The difference between what's happening in the economy and the stock market. Recession may be off the table for this year, but it's still coming. There is still no reason to be overly bearish about the market. Why small cap stocks may now be at risk; are all things equal? The case for (or against) small cap stocks: We're not beyond the risk of economic slowdown; be cautious of narratives. Why now is a good time to trim risk.

Nvidia earnings did extremely well, jolting the entire market higher by 2% on Thursday, and momentum carried the S&P higher on Friday, closing at an all-time high. So how does a company like Nvidia guarantee growth in a company like VISA? Call options on stocks are reaching very high levels, investor sentiment and exuberance are also at very high levels; positioning by portfolio managers is very long on equities. This is not a bad thing within this momentum-driven cycle, there is nothing wrong with markets, so no reason to be overly-bearish. Until we violate the trend line at the 20-DMA, there is not much with which to be concerned. Markets remain over bought, and additional upside is going to be a challenge. The key thing for risk management is what happens if we take out the 20-DMA, which potentially sets up for a bigger contraction. Have we been here before?

Has Nvidia become the world's most-valuable company? The S&P is aiming at more all-time highs, but can they hold? Fed minutes reveal no rush to cut rates. The disconnect with markets' expecting more cuts. Will the Fed reduce QT as money flows into markets?  Meanwhile, markets continue to test rising trendline at 20-DMA, as consolidation continues. No reason to be bearish on markets...yet. What markets missed from Fed Minutes: the quantity of rate cuts to come. An unexpected risk: Effects of balance sheet run-off as Fed adjusts QT to manage liquidity. The unstoppable market: What is happening to Fed's repo program; the Fed Liquidity Index.

Markets sold off Wednesday to test the primary trendline of the bull rally at the 20-DMA. This behavior confirms, for the moment, that the bull rally remains intact. Thanks to Nvidia's big earnings report yesterday, we're expecting a big jump at the open this morning. There are two key things to watch: We still have this consolidation going on, as markets really haven't gone anywhere for the past couple of weeks. The over-bought condition in relative strength, however, has been declining, creating a negative divergence between markets and relative strength. If, in the short term, relative strength can improve, the sell-signal will flip to "buy," and markets will continue to move higher.

It's Nvidia earnings reporting day, and as tech companies have driven markets of late, the results, and the company's forward guidance, could have a huge effect. Earnings expectations are extremely high; risk of disappointment is high. The S&P is testing a rising trendline at the 20-DMA, against a negative divergence in relative strength. The dichotomy is unsustainable. The Conference Board releases latest survey of leading economic indicators, down for a 23rd consecutive month (but no one is expecting Recession!) What is keeping us out of Recession is remaining liquidity from government cash injections. No Recession because of "strong consumer spending," but is it, really? Spending more at the store, but buying the same or less. WSJ survey shows grocery spending as % of income at a 30-year high. The economic surge of 2021-22 is reversing. New student loan forgiveness schemes = more liquidity to spend. Palo Alto Networks' performance: Know the percentages. An over-valuation correction is coming: why forward guidance matters.

The big tech names were a drag on the overall market on Tuesday, with the S&P slipping to test the 20-DMA once again, which has been a rising trend line for the past few months. If the market against tests today, and fails, look for the S&P at 4800-ish, at about the 50-DMA. Note, too, along with that rising trend line, a negative divergence in relative strength. When prices are rising as momentum deteriorates, this suggests the need for a correction; what the catalyst might be for that event, no one knows.  Hosted by RIA Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO  Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Articles mentioned in this report: "Don’t Fear All-Time Highs, Understand Them" https://realinvestmentadvice.com/dont-fear-all-time-highs-understand-them/ ------- Register for our next Candid Coffee: "Five Money Habits of Unhappy Couples," Saturday, February 24, 2024: https://streamyard.com/watch/xRDYWQQqdFaF --------  Get more info & commentary:  https://realinvestmentadvice.com/insights/real-investment-daily/ ------- Watch the video version of this report by subscribing to our new "Before the Bell" YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0p2G5Y7jcfY&list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&index=1 ------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #InvestingAdvice #SP5000 #BullishMarketTrend #NegativeDivergence #RelativeStrength #MomentumDeterioration #MarketCorrection #ReducePortfolioRisk #20DMA #50DMA #Markets #Money #Investing 

There are "Dow Days" and "NASDAQ Days;" CPI inflation is still transitory; emerging influence of presidential election on Congress' ability to manage debt & spending, M-2 as % of GDP. There is little expectation for earnings growth this year. Markets remain in bullish trend, but a negative day today could trigger MACD Sell-signal. Time to reduce portfolio risk and wait until correction to put capital back to work. Instead of fearing market exuberance, understanding what drives it can provide you with insight and opportunity.

Markets were closed on Monday, after ending negative on Friday; the market rallied back to previous, all-time highs after touching the 20-DMA for a healthy intra-day correction. The result was a negative week overall, but just barley. Still, the market remains in a bullish trend, but very close to triggering a Sell-signal. With markets being down at the open, if we do have a negative day, we will likely cross into a MACD Sell-signal. That doesn't mean we'll have a big, major correction (we've been here before);  but eventually, we are going to get a bigger sell-off. The key is to be prepared for that lower entry point. Now is the time to trim risk from your portfolio and Be Patient.  Hosted by RIA Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO  Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Articles mentioned in this report: "Don’t Fear All-Time Highs, Understand Them" https://realinvestmentadvice.com/dont-fear-all-time-highs-understand-them/ ------- Register for our next Candid Coffee: "Five Money Habits of Unhappy Couples," Saturday, February 24, 2024: https://streamyard.com/watch/xRDYWQQqdFaF --------  Get more info & commentary:  https://realinvestmentadvice.com/insights/real-investment-daily/ ------- Watch the video version of this report by subscribing to our new "Before the Bell" YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aype3sudCwk&list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&index=1 ------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #InvestingAdvice #SP5000 #BullishMarketTrend #ReducePortfolioRisk #20DMA #MACDsellSignal #Markets #Money #Investing

The post-Valentine's Day afterglow; Markets are not behaving like it's February (typically a weaker month), so far. The NFIB Small Business Survey belies weaker conditions and negative sentiment; there is a correlation between the NFIB  and Small Cap Index. Markets continue to do well, despite weaker economic activity; bonds showing promise; NVIDIA captures 3rd place in S&P 500, unseating Amazon & Google. Commentary on pending legislation to reclassify Homelessness as a Healthcare issue; economic data preview: Retail Sales could be weaker; PPI and weaker regional manufacturing reports; the impact of Government Debt is a drag on economic growth; the continuing effects of fiscal stimulus. The Components of CPI: Homeowners Equivalent Rent/Shelter vs PCU (what the Fed looks at); the flaws in sampling data: Focus on trends, not monthly data. The consequences of too much debt, with Japan as an example, now in recession. China, Germany, and Japan are all in recession, yet the US remains immune? Toyota vs Tesla: 9% of US car sales are hybrid. The next advance in battery technology: Solid state Lithium batteries. Toyota is in the lead; Tesla is working on version 2.0 of current battery (no pun intended).

Retail Sales were expected to be weaker than expected (sure enough, January Retail sales were down .8%) which could potentially affect today's activity. On a short-term basis, markets are doing fine, bounding off the 20-DMA, and the bullish trend remains intact. The real challenge is the gap between the S&P and the underlying 200-DMA, and the further we move away from that, the harder it will be for prices to continue to move up. At some point, some type of corrective action will occur. Bonds continue to do well after a nice pullback. Bond prices are holding support as we become more oversold. We're looking for additional rotations out of stocks into bonds as markets begin to work off a bit of over-exuberance. NVDIA continues to have a very strong run, surpassing Amazon and Google in terms of market cap, securing its place as the number-three stock in the S&P Index. NVIDIA is up almost 30% this year.
