VRA Investment Update: Follow the Semis & Buy The Dip. Economic Acceleration; The Trump Economic Miracle

Breaking: Treasury yields lost momentum this AM, with stock markets reversing higher, after the Labor Department reported that initial jobless claims rose to 211K last week, up from 190K the week before and more than the 195K forecast by analysts.

/

Good Thursday morning all. Not only was yesterday's huge move higher in stocks a textbook display of a new bull market (with semis up 5%, nasdaq +4%, leading the way higher), but we saw it in the internals as well with an 88% upside volume day for NYSE and near 7:1 advance/decline. No one was buying J Powells hawkish comments…the markets know what’s coming next (rate cuts).

VRA Investment Update: Solid Week That Should Lead to a Powerful Short-Squeeze. Everything is So Bearish That We Must Be Bullish.

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.

Good Thursday morning all. The much awaited CPI data is out and its a hot number, with inflation hitting a 40 year high as the CPI posts a 7.5% annual gain in January.
