Good Thursday morning. The Feds rate cutting cycle has arrived. Going against 90% of economists predictions…who predicted a .25% rate cut…J Powell and the Fed actually got this one right by cutting by .50%.
Read MoreI have posted this VRA Letter each 9/11 since 2006 (updated only with relevant facts), when my research and due diligence made it no longer possible to remain silent.
Today marks a somber 23 years since 9/11/01.
Good Thursday morning. Heads up: I’m scheduled to be on Fox Business ‘Making Money’ with Charles Payne in the 2PM EST hour, followed by a 10 PM EST interview on Real Americas Voice ‘The Root Reaction’ with Wayne Allyn Root. Hope you can join us!
Breaking: retail sales for the month of July…
Good Thursday morning. After crashing 13% on Monday, Japan’s Nikkei has gained back 90% of those losses in the last few days. After Monday’s selloff, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) reversed course on hiking rates, saying that “doing so in unstable markets is a mistake we will not make”.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning. In Wednesday's VRA Letter, as Nvidia was falling 7% and taking the markets with it, I wrote the following:
“This looks nothing like panic selling or a liquidity event of the type that would take the broad markets sharply lower.
Read MoreDid you catch Kip Herriage on Real Americas Voice (RAV) for Wayne Allyn Roots' new hit show “The Root Reaction” last week?
If not, I have included the link at the end of this post.
Check out Kip’s latest interview on The Root Reaction with Wayne Root.
As we see it, too many remain in the dark about the generational bull market underway, featuring soaring corporate earnings, led by consumers & companies in their best shape in decades.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning. We start the week with 11/12 VRA Investing System Screens remaining bullish (record).
If you pay close attention you start to notice “personality traits” of each bull (or bear) market. I see several in this bull market…
Read MoreGood Thursday morning. As our resident Fed watcher covered on his podcast yesterday after the close, J Powell’s presser contained a lot of words, but should serious investors even continue to listen to him?
After 5 major policy errors since he got the job (from Trump) in 2018, Powell and team have been (exactly) wrong far more than they’ve been right.
Read MoreWe have been calling this “the resilient bull market”. Coming out of Q1 earnings we’ve had some rather horrible internals…the trannies (our second most important economic indicator, behind housing) just got hit 9% in a month…
Read MoreGood Thursday morning. It’s always great being on with Charles Payne. There aren’t many smart-money “talking heads”, but Charles is one of them. The reality is that the vast majority of media personalities know that “fear sells” so they pander to worst-case scenarios
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all.
This morning the Bank of England’s messaging made it clear that they will soon be cutting rates. The ECB is very close to that same decision. We expect both central banks to cut rates in June…
Read MoreGood Thursday morning. Just prior to publishing “The Big Bribe” in the fall of 2022 we went aggressively long the market, citing our primary base case;
We’re in the Roaring 2020’s, powered by consumers and US co’s in their strongest financial shape in decades…
Read MoreGood Thursday morning. We’ve dedicated much of the last week's VRA Letters to the “war risks” and corresponding action in the broad markets. We’re now just a few days away from Q1 tech earnings kicking off in style, with high profile names Tesla (next Tuesday), META (Wednesday) and Alphabet, Amazon, Intel and Microsoft set to report next Thursday. We see a great setup unfolding…
Read MoreGood Thursday morning. To start the week we barely had a day of (some) selling pressure in US equities and the same people that rarely (if ever) beat the markets are already warning of a severe market correction.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning. After spending more than a year writing “The Big Bribe” Tyler and I published it just prior to the 10/13/22 bear market lows. We forecast a boom time in America, with the Roaring 2020’s as the theme.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning. These short term mini-pauses have done wonders for the overbought readings on our VRA Investing System. Today, even as our markets are just off of all-time highs, those overbought readings are gone. This market still has room to run.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning. The AI “king of the hill” did it again yesterday with Nvidia posting (another) quarter with absolutely stunning growth.
NVDA Bottom Line, as Tyler outlined in his podcast yesterday:
- Earned $5.16/sh, beating already sky-high estimates of $4.64/sh.
- Revenue also came in above expectations, totaling $22.1 billion vs forecasts for $20.5 billion.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning. Long-time VRA Members may remember that from the end of the bear market (10/13/22) we’ve written often about the “action” of this market and the fact that it’s largely been “textbook bull market action”. We’ve seen this repeating pattern again this week, as the Nasdaq and Semis continue to rally into market closes finishing at/near their highs of the day.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning. As I explained on my podcast yesterday, J Powell went off script at his presser and likely just made “another” policy mistake, which will be his 5th since taking the appointment to Fed Chair.
I repeat; J Powell is the worst Fed Chair of my time…
