Yes Investors...It’s a Bear Market
Investors were once again foolishly bidding up stocks coming into the inflation report Tuesday morning. Bulls were slaughtered when they found out that inflation is not fading away and that likely spells more economic pain on the way as the Fed will need to stay on the rate hike war path. Bears are back in charge. And perhaps ready to mount an attack on the recent lows of 3,636 for the S&P 500 (SPY). And likely much lower. Why is that? And how can you stay on the right side of the trading action? The answers await you in the article below...

Why Are Stocks Tilting Bearish Once Again?
The S&P 500 (SPY) rallied 18% from the June lows til they hit a wall in mid August. At first it seemed the reason was simply hitting the resistance level at the 200 day moving average. But really, if we are being honest with ourselves, it is the reawakening to the negative outlook for the economy. We can all thank Fed Chairman Powell for inscribing it on the tablets handed down from Mt. Jackson Hole. So where do stocks head from here? And what is the best trading plan at this time? Read on below for the answers...
Are Bears Ready to Push Stocks Back to June Lows?
The recent 18% rally for the S&P 500 (SPY) was a flight of fancy. Fed Chairman Powell made sure that message was heard loud and clear from the mountain tops in Jackson Hole. This sets up for an interesting fork in the road where dropping back down the June lows is a very possible outcome. Why is that? And how best to position your portfolio? Investment expert Steve Reitmeister shares his thoughts in the fresh commentary below.

Every article I saw today on Fed Chair Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole focused on the idea that raising rates will cause “pain” to the economy. This sparked a nasty -3.37% scalping of the S&P 500 (SPY) and having investors pondering if we are about to revisit the June lows. 40 year investment veteran Steve Reitmeister shares his views in this new commentary below. Note Steve is bearish at this time.
Bulls or Bears in Charge?
Survey investors in June and no doubt the bears are in charge. Then we go on a 2 month rally with 18% upside for the S&P 500 (SPY) and the bulls seem to be King of the Hill. Now we have backslid a bit over the past week. And the path forward is a bit more unclear. That is why 40 year investment veteran, Steve Reitmeister, weighs in on what happens next for the stock market and why he continues to have a bearish bias. Read on below for more...
