Why the Stock Market May Have Digested Most of the Bad News
The broad market continues to leak lower, but I do think there are some reasons for optimism. The big one is that our portfolio has been outperforming and is actually up 3% over the past week, while the S&P 500 (SPY) is down 0.5%. The second is that the trading environment is improving from a bottom-up perspective with many breakouts and bounces in certain sectors. Other sectors are showing relative strength during this latest move down as well. I think these developments increase the odds of success when ‘buying the dip’. I continue to like the trade setup of being long here with a stop-loss relative to the previous lows of 410 from late-February. In today’s commentary, I want to fill in the details on this and give more insight into the logic behind recent moves in the portfolio. Then, I’ll give a brief rundown of the parts of the market I find most interesting. Read on below to find out more…
Silver Linings in a Range-Bound Stock Market
The S&P 500 (SPY) continues to retrace the spectacular 10% rally in March. Now, we have given back about 50% of these gains. In many ways, this type of back-and-forth price action can be frustrating, but it should be expected in range-bound markets. And, if we take a step back, the market action could be construed as healthy given the strong gains from March 2020 to January 2021. These gains could be digested in multiple ways. And many of these would be much more destructive than the current 8% decline or so from the top and months of choppy trading. At the same time, there have also been some opportunities that we have been able to capitalize upon. In today's commentary, I want to share some reasons that I'm feeling more constructive about stocks and why we could be nearing the end of this corrective period. Then, I want to preview some moves I'm considering. Read on below to find out more…
How the May Fed Meeting Could Impact the Stock Market
Last week, we discussed the market’s ‘Crossroad’ as it was either going to decisively break higher from the range or fall lower and likely encounter some selling pressure in the process. As of now, we have retraced about 25% of the S&P 500‘s (SPY) 10% rally. While, I have less confidence in what direction the market’s path will meander in the near-term, I’m more confident that conditions will remain choppy and volatile. Our approach with these conditions is to be more aggressive in terms of risk management and more picky in terms of our buys. This is one reason we have stayed firmly in the green in 2022. The big opportunity ALWAYS comes in the market like clockwork. In today’s commentary, I will discuss these latest developments in more detail and how the market’s price action is lining up with typical pattern that we see in Congressional election cycles in the first term of a Presidency.

What the Recent Dip Tell Us and Where the Market Could Go Next
The S&P 500’s (SPY) breakout attempt over 4,600 has been rejected. However, it’s still unclear whether we are going to venture back deep into the range. Or will this just be a shallow dip and we merrily continue higher? My hunch is that we chop around in the upper half of our range between 4,100 and 4,600. But, this is more of a loosely held conviction, and I think we are well-positioned for any outcome. In today’s commentary, I want to talk about some of my more strongly held convictions and then do a brief overview of recent economic data. Read on below to find out more…
