We need more posts.
Personal Consumptions Index for Oct expectation was 0.3% but was below expectations at 0.2% thus another indication of cooling inflation. It’s giving the green light for the market today

Larry I agree about the lack of posts.
Your (and a couple of others) posts seem so ‘professional’, we lurkers are reluctant to expose our naivete. Don’t know how to change that, but we do appreciate your opinions!

I’m not interested in reading stock stories much as the internet is full of them with dozens of opinions on each bit of news. I used to watch financial shows with their special guests that were so called experts in the market. I would write down their top picks and track them for months. Most lost money so I gave up on stock stories. So I stick to charts and the old saying goes “charts don’t lie”. Here is a chart of the $SPX and one can see price has been in a downtrend for almost one year now. Overlaid is the Dow and $Compq to see the relative performance of them. The $SPX has to clear that downtrendline AND stay above it to suggest a change of trend from down to possibly up. For all of 2022 the $SPX has seen lower highs and lower lows. Until that changes don’t expect many to be interested in the stock market. Not surprising that there are few posts here anymore as many stock investors are under water with their portfolios and just ignore the market as they don’t want to sell and incur losses. So they just say “It’ll come back” and walk away for now.

I like Cramer if hours later he repeats the same phrase I used in the morning. The equal weighted SP500 index broke its’ downtrend line. Money still needs to come out of tech and it will take time for this to happen as investors slowly seek opportunity elsewhere. Other parts of the market will rally but the heavy weighting of those big tech names distorts SPX to the downside. Also look at DIA.

Thanks for the comment and charting. It confirms I should continue to sit on my hands for another month and not let those ichy trading fingers get going. The bank earning are nothing to write home about and likely to weaken more next year before a rebound given the larger level of write offs.

If you want a straight answer don’t think you’ll ever get one from Cramer. He is an entertainer and puts on a performance. Here is the Equal Weight S&P 500 RSP and you can see the downtrendline for all of 2022 has not been broken AND the volume has dropped dramatically on the recent run up. She’s still a sick puppy until price clears AND holds above that downtrendline……………….

My favourite to listen to is Eric Nuttall for stock ideas and forecasts. I do believe he is a little too aggressive with his evaluations.

Here is BNS.to again. Price needs to clear AND hold above $75 to suggest a strong run up.Seasonal trends for January are bullish. Perhaps over the next few weeks the selloff will end and reverse back up. Prices don’t go down forever.
