It looks like the oil trade has come to an abrupt halt. I am seeing money flow beginning to come into the beaten-up biotech sector which looks ready to come into favor.

This market is showing the diverse technical signals of a riptide- one of the most dangerous conditions of all. It is better to relax and not fight this market. The shipping group hit an iceberg yesterday…no reason to be the captain here. We have benefited greatly from the group but have now made a full exit from the group.

The market continues the downward slide, and most investors are in denial. Bear markets are painful, especially if you are unprepared. The market seemed ready for a strong “bear market rally” but the retail earnings reports make a recession even clearer. We are moving from detail to despondency- do not be fully invested, especially in the wrong names.

The market is in a textbook bear market cycle. We have been sharing clear warning signals that continue to come with surprising consistency. While value has been created, many are still clinging to hope in the wrong names. A headshot looks like it is coming. There are dozens of names that look great here- just not what many are holding enough of.
