(1/8/24) The axiom, "as goes the first five days of January, so goes the month," could prove ominous for investors unless markets can rally past where we were at the close of December. And there is a decent, 40% correlation between negative January's and negative years. Not EVERY year works out this way, however. (At the time of this recording, Dow futures were down 150-pts head of the open.) Markets broke below the 20-DMA on Friday, and technical indicator show markets are still overbought. Some of the bullish sentiment is beginning to reverse as markets continue to work it off; a better opportunity to put capital to work is coming. Patience pays.  Hosted by RIA Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO  Produced by Brent Clanton --------  Register for our 2024 Economic Summit: Navigating Markets in a Presidential Cycle:  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ria-advisors-economic-summit-tickets-703288784687?aff=oddtdtcreator -------- 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=Q4gpChz0Rw8&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 #MarketCorrection #JanuaryTrifecta #20DMA  #Markets #Money #Investing
