VRA Investment Update: Disinflation is Here. Get Ready for 2% Inflation Next Year PLUS Fed Rate Cuts. How We Want to Play It.

Good Thursday morning. July CPI (consumer prices) gained 3.2% on an annual basis, less than the 3.3% consensus from economists estimates. On a month-to-month basis, inflation increased just 0.2%, which was in-line with estimates while year/year CPI came in at 4.7%, matching estimates. The report also said real average weekly earnings were unchanged last month, in another positive sign that the Fed can be less concerned about a wage price spiral.

VRA Investment Update: VRA System Buy Signals. Housing Breaks Out to New Highs.

Good Friday morning. On Tuesday I wrote the following; “IMO, US markets are set up for a significant “short squeeze” higher. The combination of investor sentiment, seasonality, analytics and technicals are all aligned. This remains one of the best set-ups of my career, coming out of the bear market bottom on 10/13/22. We are well positioned for it.”

VRA Investment Update: Nvidia Earnings Call Surprise; "AI Inflection Point". My Fox Business Interview with Charles Payne.

As our markets complete their overbought “pause”, we believe seasonality is playing a major role as the second half of February is historically weak. It’s actually one of the worst two weeks periods of the year.
But soon, our overbought sell-off will be behind us. Based on VRA System readings, by weeks end we should be hitting oversold levels that typically mark reversals higher, especially near the birth of new bull markets.

VRA Investment Update: Preparing for A Sharp Move Higher. Why the 200 Day Moving Average Matters So Much

VRA Investment Update: Preparing for A Sharp Move Higher. Why the 200 Day Moving Average Matters So Much

Good Thursday afternoon all. The markets look to be setting up for a catapult move higher into year end.  The technicals are forming around the 200 dma (after a near parabolic move higher post the 10/13 capitulation into heavily overbought readings), in what looks to me to be a classic consolidation pattern in advance of both the santa claus rally and January effect bullish time frames.
