Who Wins the Tug-of-War Going on in the Stock Market?
Did you know that the tug of war was actually an Olympic sport from 1900 to 1920. Now, I’m generally a person who embraces the new and doesn’t reflexively believe the past is better. But, in this case, I’ll make an exception. Tug of war needs to be immediately added back to the Olympics. And, I have a feeling that it could help the Olympics with their ratings problem. Tug of war is on my mind, because it’s what is exactly happening in the stock market (SPY) as the bulls and bears grapple for control. On the bullish side, you have falling inflation, resilience in earnings and employment data, and high levels of traders/investors who are underinvested or short. On the bearish side, you have a hawkish Fed, a slowing economy, and various tail risks that could turn into outright crisis. In today’s commentary, we will discuss this market dynamic and then dive into various topics. Read on below to find out more…

How These 2 Dueling Impulses Could Impact the Stock Market
The S&P 500 (SPY) hit its first rough patch since mid-July. And, we've basically retraced the entire last leg higher.

Similarly, the factors that precipitated the bear market also remain, for the most part, intact.

End of the Stock Market Rally or Pause for a Breather?
The S&P 500 (SPY) rally has taken a breather after hitting the 200 day moving average. It’s certainly possible that we have topped and are immediately headed lower, it’s possible that this dip will resolve higher, and/or we could chop around in a range for some period of time. Given the market’s momentum and our above-average cash position, I’m comfortable with our current holdings and allocations as long as we stay above 4,200. Therefore in today’s commentary, I want to just share some brief comments on the market, then I want to dive into some of the various sectors that we have discussed in the past - auto parts, energy, biotechs, and travel - and provide some updates.
