In the daily view, the S&P500 looks a bit extended from support. The ~3075 price level shoud act as the gatekeeper for any large decline.
Just like asymmetric warfare, one trade war tweet will override fundamental and technical research in the short-term, so risk manage accordingly!

Weekend Stock Market Outlook - November 3 2019
The stock market outlook continues to show an uptrend.
The ADX and OEW remain bullish. Price and volume is still mixed, but a handful of distribution days will fall off this count this week, so you could be forgiven for thinking this signal shows an uptrend at this point.
Q3 earnings season is mixed, October's jobs report came in better than expected, and the ISM manufacturing index showed contraction again. And the U.S. Fed lowered rates by 0.25% last week.

Weekend Stock Market Outlook - October 13 2019
The stock market outlook flips to a downtrend, again with an asterisk.
President Donald Trump outlined the first phase of a deal to end a trade war with China on Friday. The key word is "outlined". With nothing written or signed, it's really just a cease-fire in the China trade war.
The U.S. fed also announced it would start growing it's balance sheet again. The last time we saw this, the intent was to lower long-term interest rates and boost the stock market. We called it Quantitative Easing (QE).
Both the measures are largely symbolic. As always, risk management and capital preservation are keys to surviving of uncertainty like we're experiencing today.

After deluge of data and a volatile week of trading, the stock market outlook is in an uptrend, with an asterisk.
Like Friday's payroll data, price action was strong enough to keep hope alive, but weak enough to make me feel otherwise.
Look for a gain on 1% or more early next week, on higher than average trading volume, to confirm the uptrend has more room to run.

In summary, the game of one-upmanship continued. The Chinese government decided to increase tariffs on U.S. goods, in retaliation for the increase of U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods. The U.S. retaliated by raising the existing tariffs on Chinese goods even higher. More tweets to come, I'm sure.
No change in the market outlook; the downtrend continues. The ADX, price/volume, and OEW indicators are all bearish.
2019-08-25 - SPX Trendline Analysis - Daily
The S&P500 ($SPX) continues to trade below its 50-day moving average. The trendline for the downtrend flattened a bit, now crossing through Thursdays close. The floor of support near 2,825 remains intact. The next stop would be ~2,725.
2019-08-25- SPX Trendline Analysis - Weekly
The weekly view shows a fairly steep downtrend, similar to May's decline. This time around, we've had "higher" lows each week. Year-to-date (3rd week in August), the S&P has basically gone nowhere; the index netted a loss of 0.9%. Prices rose as much as 5%, and fell as much as 18%, which reflects the volatility we've experienced over the past 12 months.The U.S. Fed meeting in Jackson Hole, which was supposed to provide the fireworks last week, became a sidenote thanks to the tariff talk. Fed chief Powell commented on the tariffs, more evidence of a global slowdown, and troubling economic "fundamentals" like low inflation. He also mentioned that the Fed is looking into the "monetary policy tools we have used both in calm times and in crisis, and we are asking whether we should expand our toolkit." Some people feel this is a reference to Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), or more accurately known as the Magic Money Tree.
- As an issuer of currency, a government cannot go bankrupt because it can just keep creating and printing money
- Governments can spend without restraint
- Large deficits and debt don’t matter when an economy is not at full capacity
- Assumes that public programs are created to stimulate economic activity
- All public programs can be financed by debt or creating money
- Politicians have latched on to this one with an iron fist!
- Financial and political activities are coordinated
- So long independent Fed
- Taxes can be used to control inflation
- Assumes that a government can actually do this correctly
- Assumes that the public will act rationally to higher taxes
Sadly, whether or not the theory is true or can even be successful in a democratic country is irrelevant. When we have another recession, cutting interest rates will not be enough, and the government will be called upon to do something (anything). Politicians will look at the potential benefits and say the ends justify the means.
I, for one, am hopeful that cooler heads prevail and we don't see anything like MMT. But I'm also getting prepared, in case we do.

In the weekly view, the plotted trendline had been holding strong, but finally gave way last week.U.S. 30-year bonds fell below the Fed Funds rate, meeting yet another definition for an inverted yield curve. As mentioned last time, don't try to time the market based on this indicator. Just know that the economy has issues, and prepare accordingly. Some companies are already acting like they're operating within a recession. Others may not be effected for some time.

2019-08-11 - SPX Trendline Analysis - Daily
The S&P 500 ($SPX) broke the long-term trendline we've been plotting. Those key support levels, which I expected to provide some price support, never came into play, as price gaped below those levels to when markets opened. By Friday, prices recovered significantly, but still met resistance at the 50-day moving average. At least the selling was on lower volume.
2019-08-11 - SPX Trendline Analysis - Weekly
In the weekly view, the plotted trendline actually remained intact, with prices almost back to where they closed the week prior. You can also see the elevated selling activity, which sits in contrast to the April-May correction.On average, S&P performance is at its worst in August and September. So probability favors negative market action until the start of Q4. Furthermore, news (more specifically news on Twitter) is increasing volatility, and there's no shortage of potential market-moving players.
In the States, the U.S.-China trade-ware has been the noisemaker lately, and rightly so, but there are many other geopolitical issues lurking beneath the surface: Hong Kong, North Korea, Brexit, negative yield and ballooning corporate debt levels globally, Iranian ship seizures, economic contractions in Europe (don't call it a recession - we don't have those any more), etc.

What can you do?
Always limit your losses, preferably 8% or less. Admit the mistake, analyze it, and move on. You may get another chance, with the same stock even, when the overall market turns around.
Always take profits, preferably 20% or above. You don't have to sell it all, but prune your winning trades so that you have something to show for your hard work. Ideally, you can extract your original investment and let your profits run (i.e. play with the houses money).
And if you're somewhere in between? Check the price action. Failing to hold key support levels (technical), or missed/lowered earnings (fundamentals) are reasons to get out early. At a minimum, set a stop-loss at your break-even.

The ADX directional indicators crossed over on Wednesday, shifting that signal to a downtrend. Price/volume action was mixed; price remains above the 50-day moving average, but institutional selling shows a marked increase. OEW also confirmed a downtrend. OEW has been calling for a sell-off in recent weeks, so kudos the group.
2019-08-04 - SPX Trendline Analysis - Daily
The daily chart shows the S&P 500 ($SPX) resting on the 50-day moving average, with an elevated distribution day count. Wednesday and Thursday displayed "topping" action, which is when there is a large difference (spread) between the day's high and low prices, but prices end up finishing the day near the low. On the plus side, the trendline we've been tracking hasn't been broken yet.

The weekly chart also shows our trendline intact, with prices hovering at the 10-week moving average. One potential positive; Friday's close put the S&P near the 38% Fibonacci retracement level (not shown); a key support level for traders using technical analysis.The U.S. Federal reserve cut interest rates by 0.25%, but also signaled that it was "one and done". Too much? Not enough? It seems like no one was happy with the outcome, nor do they believe it's one and done. But I don't think the cut was the culprit. To me, the real catalyst came in the form of a tweet; the announcement of an additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods. Most of the immediate sell-off from the rate cut had been recovered by the time the tweet was released! That surprised the investment community, and the only kind of surprises they like are companies beating expectations.
Given the fact that the S&P sits on some key support levels, I expect a rebound early next week. Hopefully it comes with higher volumes, and we can say this downtrend was just a little tantrum thrown by surprised investors.

Even with that price level, and an economy that continues to grind along, the U.S. Fed is considering pre-emptive rate cuts to decrease the likelihood of a future recession. With that as a backdrop, Ray Dalio published an article on LinkedIn (you can read the article here), discussing market cycles and their effects on returns from different types of investments and asset classes.
- Over my roughly 50 years of being a global macro investor, I have observed there to be relatively long of periods (about 10 years) in which the markets and market relationships operate in a certain way (which I call “paradigms”) that most people adapt to and eventually extrapolate so they become overdone, which leads to shifts to new paradigms in which the markets operate more opposite than similar to how they operated during the prior paradigm.
Identifying and tactically navigating these paradigm shifts well and/or structuring one’s portfolio so that one is largely immune to them is critical to one’s success as an investor.
But why now? Per Ray:
- In paradigm shifts, most people get caught overextended doing something overly popular and get really hurt. On the other hand, if you’re astute enough to understand these shifts, you can navigate them well or at least protect yourself against them.
I think now is a good time 1) to look at past paradigms and paradigm shifts and 2) to focus on the paradigm that we are in and how it might shift because we are late in the current one and likely approaching a shift.
Need something visual? Check out that run! (chart courtesy of JP Morgan Asset Management)
"Buying and holding" equities has crushed it for over a decade. So it's highly likely many investors are overweight equities and underweight other asset classes. And who could blame them?
But under the surface, low rates have contributed to an explosion in corporate debt...mainly the kind one level above 'junk' (or non-investment grade). Even worse, some companies are unable to generate enough profit to pay their debts...even with record low interest rates. Government debt levels around the world are astronomical. Some have even suggested that those debt levels are no longer relevant because the government (at least in the U.S.) can just print more money to cover them...indefinitely. A new paradigm indeed.
Ray's article is worth a look, and at the end, he gives his opinion on what asset classes should perform well. The time to prepare for an emergency is before the wheels fall off, so to speak. So now is a great time to ask yourself am I diversified? How do I decide how much money to allocate to other asset classes? How will I decide when it's time to reallocate? Who can help me make those decisions?

Earnings season is upon us and a slew of big names report Q2 results this week, including the rest of the FANG stocks: Facebook (FB), Amazon (AMZN) and Alphabet (GOOGL). Analysts expect lower growth, so a surprise could result in oversized moves...in either direction.
2019-07-21 - SPX Trendline Analysis - Daily
The daily chart shows the S&P 500 ($SPX) hasn't made much progress since mid-June.
2019-07-21 - SPX Trendline Analysis - Weekly
The weekly chart shows the first decline on higher trading volume since December...and below average volume at that. Look at how much prices have risen since that December low!Weak volume continues to plague the stock market as a whole. It's hard to put much conviction behind any type of move until volume returns. Leading stocks are no exception. Several growth stocks on my watch list broke out over the past few weeks, but the action left a lot to be desired; <1.5% price moves with anemic trading volume.
Friday was options expiration, which usually produces really high volume. Even that activity couldn't drive trading volumes up. Is it uncertainty about the U.S. / China trade war? Brexit? The Strait of Hormuz? Will they or won't they cut interest rates in U.S.?
OEW is still looking for 3,300 on the S&P. If we do see prices fall before that level, look for support between 2,900 and 2,830.
I've been part of several "debates" about inverted yield curves and recessions; particularly trying to time when we'll see the next one. Bear markets occur without recessions, but recessions make bear markets a lot worse. Since we haven't had a recession in a long time, it's definitely a worthwhile discussion and something to keep on your radar.
There was agreement on the fact that before every recession in the past 40 years, the yield curve has inverted. Also, that there are times (2 to be exact) when the yield curve inverts, and there isn't a recession.
There wasn't agreement on whether the yield curve has or hasn't inverted this year. I figured this might be something you're encountering in your research as well, so I wanted to show you the source of the disagreement. There were 2 different criteria for an inverted yield curve:
- 10-year yield < 2-year yield
- 10-year yield < 3-month yield
- 10-year yield = 2.05%
- 2-year yield = 1.80%
- 3-month yield = 2.06%
The 3-month and 10-year inverted back in March; the 2 & 10 year haven't inverted yet.
Which of these datasets you choose to follow is up to you. In either case, it's safe to say that the yield curve is saying the U.S. economy has issues to work through over the next 12 months, so watch manage your holdings accordingly (position sizing, allocations, etc.).

The daily and weekly charts show the S&P 500 ($SPX) grinding higher on lower than average trading volume. Ideally you want to see new high prices on high trading volume, but an uptrend is an uptrend.
While it seems like there "should" be a correction any day now (pick your reasoning, there is plenty to choose from), let prices tell you what to do. And don't fight the Fed!
An interesting set of charts from this week's On My Radar from Steve Blumenthal at CMG. It's one of his favorite valuation measures: S&P 500 Total Return Index vs U.S. Household Stock Allocation. It's the second chart (in the Concluding Thoughts – What Might The Endgame Look Like? Section)
Basically, it compares how much money individual investors have put into U.S. equities at a given point in time, with average annual return from the S&P500 over the next 10-years for that same point in time. Typically, individual investors are heavily invested in stocks at market tops, and that's when forward returns are their lowest.
The bad news: Your starting point matters quite a bit. 2019 will represent a peak in 10-year rolling returns until at least 2029. Why? Because money invested in 2009 occurred at a bear market low and right now we have an all time high in the S&P. Every year afterwards (2010, 2011, etc.) the starting price is higher, so the rolling return will decline at little.
The good news: 10-year rolling returns are almost always positive, even when investors are "all in". And since we know there will be another bear market, and another "low", you can prepare yourself now to go against the grain and buy, setting yourself up for great 10-year returns.
