A Tale of Two Cities again as the Dow Jones hits a record high and the NASDAQ drops. Same effect here, tech stocks falling and traditional cyclical recovery stocks that don't mind higher interest rates and inflation (banks and resources) rise. the $1.9trillion stimulus bill going through this week puts the emphasis on economic recovery and value rather than momentum and FOMO. Today I address the short term bubble some people have had the luck to participate it over the last few months and warn them, as the last two weeks should have taught them, that it is not normal for everyone to love the stock market and ask them to decide if they are going to be investors for the future, or whether they should consider themselves lucky participants in a booming moment and cut and run.

Not much going on today other than BHP and RIO, CSL and WOW, going ex-dividend and shareholders switching into NAB, ANZ and WBC for the dividends coming up in April/May. Ex-dividend stocks going down, banks going up - notably the CBA, which is already ex-dividend is not part of the party.  Meanwhile bond yields have started trending up again taking the shine off the NASDAQ (down 2.7% against the Dow Jones down 0.4%) and technology stocks compared to the rest of the market. Today we look at the rebalancing trade and explain how the S&P/ASX Equity Indices Committee manages the ASX 200 and other indices with a rebalancing announcement due on March 12th. It tends to put a wave under a stock for a week or three whilst the stocks that drop out of the indices cop the wash.

Catch up with all the action today from the Marcus Today Team. A strong GDP number of 3.1% growth coupled with higher commodity prices helped ensure the strength stuck today with the ASX 200 closing up 56 points (0.8%). Bond yields steady but miners hitting multi year years with BHP up 3.5% and LYC putting on another 6%.

A standard day in the market - nothing to disturb the cash versus equities equation. We have started a holding in APT after its 28% fall over the capital raising and on the interest rate fears. If it behaves we'll add to it. BHP and RIO go ex-dividend tomorrow. Strong day for resources and gold. FMG a star stock today. The RBA didn't say much yesterday - didn't bother pouring cold water on the interest rate fears, which is as good a way of saying "Don't worry" anyway. Today we look at the "Signs" at the top of a market and reminisce over the GFC with some anecdotes that in hindsight made it pretty clear that the top was "In". 

Catch up with all the action today from the Marcus Today Team. A disappointing day after a strong start, buyers evaporated as miners came off the boil and BNPL once again under some pressure. RBA left rates on hold but the strength of the  economic recovery is once again a factor as 10-year bond yields push back up to 1.72%
