Stock Market Outlook - May 23 2021

No change in the stock market outlook; an uptrend in place with the S&P basically in the same place it was last Sunday.

The U.S. economy continues to improve, while stocks largely ignored issues in other parts of the world.

Stock Market Outlook - May 16 2021

Last week's price action made a mess of the stock market outlook signals, but an uptrend remains in place to start the week.

The lack of trading volume on upside days continues to indicate a buy-the-dip mentality. It’s a good sign that people are still willing to buy, even at these elevated valuations.

But that also means you need dips to buy, so practice good risk management. You never know which dip will be "transitory".

Stock Market Outlook - May 02 2021

The stock market outlook shows an uptrend in place to kick-off the month of May.

Another fairly flat week, and with trading volume remains below average, it’s been more a sign of profit taking than outright liquidation.

All things considered, the economy appears to be in pretty good shape, as are corporate earnings. So don't be surprised if the market's are still in buy-the-dip territory when another correction comes our way.
