Markets rallied again on Monday, but the trend is for lower highs and lower lows. While the market, per se, is not "bearish" at this point, this pattern that is developing certainly has some bearish tendencies. This would suggest some exhaustion in the markets, despite positive money flows (which are declining). The last half of February, statistically, is typically fairly weak. So, these developing patterns would suggest seeing some weakness in the markets over the next couple of weeks. The S&amp;P 100-DMA is sitting at 5900 with its pullback from 6000; that's going to awaken investors, given the amount of FOMO on Wall Street of late. There is nothing overly concerning that would trigger making any radical portfolio changes, but the creeping in of weakness should not be ignored. The US Dollar is very close to triggering a buy signal following its correction. If you haven't liked the way your portfolio has been performing recently, now would be a good time to take a critical look at rebalancing risk.&nbsp; Hosted by RIA Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO&nbsp; Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Watch the video version of this podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vsalh2Md7a4&amp;list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&amp;index=1  ------- Get more info &amp; commentary:&nbsp; https://realinvestmentadvice.com/insights/real-investment-daily/  ------- REGISTER FOR OUR NEXT CANDID COFFEE (3/29/25) HERE: https://streamyard.com/watch/Gy68mipYram2 ------- 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/ #MarketRally #PortfolioRisk #MarketExhaustion #MarketSellOff #LowerTrendline #MarketConsolidation #EconomicWeakness #StockBuyBacks #MarketVolatility #PortfolioRisk #20DMA #50DMA #100DMA &nbsp;#MarketCorrection #MoneyFlows #OverBoughtMarket &nbsp;#MarketSupport #InvestingTrends #InvestmentStrategies #InvestingAdvice #Money #Investing

2-11-25 Are Investors Exhausted?

Markets are coming to grips with that Trump Tariffs really mean, and are adapting through sector rotations. Lance &amp; Jonathan discuss the prices of eggs &amp; milk and grocery dates. The market defies more negative news because retail investors continue to step in and “buy the dip.” Retail sentiment is quite remarkable. Since the pandemic, retail investors have never been this bullish on the stock market. Such is amazing, given that their mailboxes are not being stuffed with government stimulus checks. Lance and Jonathan discuss FOMO investing trends from the stock market's fear of missing out, a look at the best stocks for FOMO investors, and how to avoid investment FOMO; a look at market bubbles and investor psychology, and we'll also cover questions we didn't get to on last Saturday's Candid Coffee episode.

2-11-25 FOMO is Alive & Well

Markets will have a big response to today's CPI Print (hotter-than expected 3.0%) because it's all about what the Fed will do next. Markets have been in a "hang out and wait" mode for the past few weeks, working thru a consolidation range. Headlines about DeepSeek or Tariffs really haven't had much effect, although there has been much rotation in and out of sectors within the market. Markets are expected to move to the downside if CPI is too hot, or move to the upside if CPI cools. Markets still enjoy good support at the 20- and 50-DMA, but there's also overhead resistance at about 6100.

2-12-25 Markets' Response to CPI

Today's market activity will hing upon this morning's CPI Print (which showed consumer prices rising higher than expected). WEven more telling will be tomorrow's PPI numbers showing input costs. The question to be answered by investors is what the trend of inflation is, and what the Fed will do next. Will companies be able to pass along higher costs to consumers? What is driving inflation? Oil price increases are a short-term indicator, but have a 90-lag in data. Lance delivers his annual Valentine's Day Public Service Announcement. Lance and Danny review questions from this past weekend's Candid Coffee episode [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy0IzfJ7fkI&amp;list=PLVT8LcWPeAugq7q4XzOcad3oSN5Z1Zd-Z&amp;index=1&amp;t=95s]: Outisde of treasuries and US government bonds, there are no "safe" investments.

2-12-25 CPI Day

How did markets respond to a hotter-than-expected CPI print? As predicted, markets did open sharply lower...but, buyers immediately stepped into the markets, pushing prices higher and closing above the 20- and 50-DMA. Markets did not, however, break out of an ever-compressing price range. As investors began to digest the CPI components, it became clear things weren't as bad as first thought. So the consolidation range continues to hold as markets remain in a 'wait-and-see' mode. Trump's reciprocal tariffs are also ramping up the risk for a global tit for tat. Raising prices of goods companies buy may not be able to be passed along to consumers, affecting bottom line results. &nbsp; Hosted by RIA Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO&nbsp; Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Watch the video version of this podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afaw7jcibbc&amp;list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&amp;index=1  ------- Get more info &amp; commentary:&nbsp; https://realinvestmentadvice.com/insights/real-investment-daily/  ------- REGISTER FOR OUR NEXT CANDID COFFEE (3/29/25) HERE: https://streamyard.com/watch/Gy68mipYram2 ------- 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/ #TrumpeTariffs #ReciprocalTariffs #CPI #Inflation #FederalReserve #MarketRally #PortfolioRisk #MarketExhaustion #MarketSellOff #LowerTrendline #MarketConsolidation #EconomicWeakness #StockBuyBacks #MarketVolatility #PortfolioRisk #20DMA #50DMA #100DMA &nbsp;#MarketCorrection #MoneyFlows #OverBoughtMarket &nbsp;#MarketSupport #InvestingTrends #InvestmentStrategies #InvestingAdvice #Money #Investing

2-14-25 What If You Live to 100?

Markets closed on Friday at all-time highs, with positive money flows, and a buy signal in place. Markets are up 5% for the year following a sloppy start in January. We have a lot of retail exuberance in the markets, and correlations are starting to all go to One. There is too much money chasing too few assets, and that dynamic is lifting all stocks. Emerging markets and international have performed similarly so far this year; however, be careful of the hype. These markets have not broken out of their long-term channel for the past five years. Emerging markets are still lower than they were back in 2021. The question remains: Can these markets actually play catch up to the US?

2-18-25 Too Much Money Chasing Too Few Assets

It is the 90th anniversary of the establishment of Social Security; amazingly, some recipients over the age of 150 are apparently still receiving benefits (!). Could there be a clue here on how to help shore up the fund? Just sayin... Nvidia earnings are on the way; Meta has and a 20-day winning streak, not one down day for the pat6 20-trading days. &nbsp;Its performance as one of the Mag-7 stocks is what has helped, in part, keep markets elevated. The market defies more negative news because retail investors continue to step in and “buy the dip.” In our recent Bull Bear reports, we discussed the push by retail investors, but looking at retail sentiment is quite remarkable. Since the pandemic, retail investors have never been this bullish on the stock market. Such is amazing, given that their mailboxes are not being stuffed with government stimulus checks.” Retail investors are expected to become more bullish about increasing equity exposure when markets rise. However, the more extended markets become, the more confident investors are about increasing speculative risk. In other words, “success breeds confidence.” Lance reviews the dynamic between margin debt and free cash &nbsp;(w/charts); Lance and Jonathan examine the in's and out's of private equity fund investing; a discussion of the 60/40 portfolio rule viability; FOMO vs the fear of loss.

2-18-25 Retail Exuberance Sets Up Market for Correction

&nbsp;Markets traded very sloppily Tuesday...until the last 15-minutes of the day: Buys rushed into the markets, pushing up to another, new, all-time high. Can markets hold? Will they continue to build on yesterday's breakout? Typically, all time highs generate more all time highs; it's all about momentum. The MACD did not trigger a sell signal, and it's still on a "buy." Relative strength is starting to move up, but not over sold, yet, and money flows continue to be positive. Presently, there is no reason to be overly bearish in the market as the trend continues higher, at least for the short term. Also, we are still within the seasonally-strong period of the year. Price compression to the buy side continues. We suggest continuing to manage risk, and use opportunities to rebalance portfolios.
