The Bernie Madoff Trendline remains in place: Monday and Tuesday's selloffs were followed by Wednesday's recovery after bouncing off the 20-DMA trendline. The buying algo's kicked in to buy thie dips. Bullish sentiment is very high; there have been few bear sightings on Wall Street, of late. Margin debt is back on the rise, as well, which is also supportive of rising asset prices. Volatility remains extremely low. There is no concern, no risk, and much investor complacency.    Hosted by RIA Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO  Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Watch the video version of this podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzLHu1gSp44&list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&index=3  ------- Get more info & commentary:  https://realinvestmentadvice.com/insights/real-investment-daily/  ------- 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/ #BernieMadoffTrendline #MarketAlgorithms #BullishMarketSentiment #MarginDebtReturns #RisingAssetPrices #MakretVolatility #UnstoppableMarket #MarketCorrectionComing #MarketTrendChannel #20DMA #200-DMA #InvestingAdvice #Money #Investing

5-7-24 Powell Sparks a Buying Frenzy

Markets rallied to close above the 50-DMA on Monday, triggering computers' buy programs, and a final push at the end of the day produced a close at the high for the session. Markets are now over bought and on a buy signal with no real, near-term concerns about a decline. Watch for a bit of sloppy trading over the next few days, and what would be great would be for markets to re-test the 50-DMA, hold it, and then make another move higher over the next few days. This would confirm a pathway to re-test previous highs. We think 5,200 or 5,300 is likely the top of this rally.

5-7-24 Aiming for 5,300

There are three possible paths for markets, moving forward. Markets are at a critical juncture at the 50-DMA; earnings "beat-rate" has been low, and earnings misses have been severely punished. Looking at the Fed's liquidity strategies; the markets' possible direction from this point. In dealing with inflation, which data measurement matters? Him's, Her's, & Botox: The rise in Gen-Z use of cosmetics for better selfies. What is Stagflation, and do we really have it? Inflation tracks economic growth; stagflation = high inflation, low economic growth, & high unemployment. We currently have record low unemployment, inflation is about average, not high, and there is decently strong economic growth. This is not That '70's Show.

5-6-24 What is Economic Stagflation?

Markets are right at the 50-DMA which is critical resistance. It's make or break time: If markets break to the upside, we'll try to retest previous market highs at around 5,200. 80% of earnings reports are behind us, and those were "not great" with a very low beat rate. The majority of growth came from large cap companies. Earnings misses were brutally punished; rewards were not that great. The pressure at the moment is to the upside with the Fed becoming somewhat dovish at the moment. External distracions like the whether we'll get a recession, what's happening with ther Yen, and the geopolitical situation: Pay attention to markets in the near term with bias to the upside. IF we break below the 100-DMA, then we'll have someething to talk about.
