VRA Investment Update: Nvidia Earnings Call Surprise; "AI Inflection Point". My Fox Business Interview with Charles Payne.

As our markets complete their overbought “pause”, we believe seasonality is playing a major role as the second half of February is historically weak. It’s actually one of the worst two weeks periods of the year.

VRA Investment Update: Overbought Conditions Wearing Off. Year of the Bull Market. The One Group That MUST Be Owned.

VRA Investment Update: Preparing for A Sharp Move Higher. Why the 200 Day Moving Average Matters So Much

Good Thursday afternoon all. The markets look to be setting up for a catapult move higher into year end.  The technicals are forming around the 200 dma (after a near parabolic move higher post the 10/13 capitulation into heavily overbought readings), in what looks to me to be a classic consolidation pattern in advance of both the santa claus rally and January effect bullish time frames.

Good Friday morning all. It’s been a solid week for the markets, one that we believe is setting the stage for a strong move into end of month and possibly a mirror image of the first half of 2022. The economy is slowing, inflation is peaking, yields are topping and investors are too bearish.
