Just in case a significant

    Posted by steve on 26th of Oct 2023 at 11:41 am

    Just in case a significant top is in place - you could see these Mega caps retrace 50% or more of their moves in the coming months (do you have a plan in place if that scenario unfolds?)   First priority is always risk management (not a prognostication but crucial to have a plan in place just in case).   Now shorter term - can always see a violent rally from oversold so if short trail down stops in accordance with your plan.

    Totally Steve on those Mega Caps, they have the most to fall, so if a large top is in like that wave B I show on the monthly SPX, these stocks have the most to fall and will

    I kind of want an apology from a couple of the famous technical analysis guys out there   

    For one, After a stockcharts dot com presentation many months back now,  I asked Larry Williams why he was so sure we were in a new bull market. I commented that I could still see a very clear ABC pattern possibly playing out so shouldn't it at least still be on the menu? . He was a jerk. His response was "because we're in a new bull  market."  Like I was a child. Grrr.

    What is your opinion of Tom Bowley and his mention of this week showing weakest period of the year? I did post his statistics for last 70 years yesterday.

    Maybe this is a shakeout

    Maybe this is a shakeout to run most peoples stops, before the end of year rally to get the banksters their annual bonuses.....

    Below is the opposite, when stocks were partying and bonds were bearish, 2021 and then we got the big walkdown.   Today, per Matts divergence on SPX HYG it is the opposite scenario.....stocks in a slump, bonds picking up

    ill chime in more, got way too many windows open

    I'm personally not a fan of seasonality when there are very obvious and somewhat unique levers operating on the economy. There is no equivalent to the amount of money injected into the economy since 2021...nothing in American history is even close with the possible exception of WWII. Then we launched massive spending plans into the lowest unemployment ever recorded along with high GDP.  So much for counter cyclical spending!  Seasonals have been working surprisingly well this year, but I would argue that they shouldn't be because it's not a time period that is comparable to a previous one.

    The US dollar was on

    The US dollar was on a tear up until Oct 2 or so....I have been waiting on this for weeks....topping of something important like USD canbe a process, not an immediate plummet....do we end DXY with this steep rising wedge?

    Hopefully the dollar remains strong.

    Hopefully the dollar remains strong. It's good for normal Americans.

    Posted by DigiNomad on 26th of Oct 2023 at 12:22 pm

    Yeah, screw the multinationals.  I'll find true American companies to invest in and enjoy my increased purchasing power.   And, I think we all know, they'll be just fine no matter what. 

    One plus with strong USD

    One plus with strong USD it may encourage more interest in US treasuries.

    The relationship is typically the

    Posted by DigiNomad on 26th of Oct 2023 at 12:29 pm

    The relationship is typically the other way around. Global funds seek yield. You have to buy dollars first before buying US debt.  Funds also seek safety, which likely explains the DXY move today. 

    Bowley is bullish after this

    Posted by rbreese on 26th of Oct 2023 at 12:07 pm
