Breaking: retail sales for the month of July…
Good Thursday morning. The AI “king of the hill” did it again yesterday with Nvidia posting (another) quarter with absolutely stunning growth.
NVDA Bottom Line, as Tyler outlined in his podcast yesterday:
- Earned $5.16/sh, beating already sky-high estimates of $4.64/sh.
- Revenue also came in above expectations, totaling $22.1 billion vs forecasts for $20.5 billion.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning. A bit of air is coming out of the tech melt-up move higher this AM, post earnings reports, as Netflix (-6%), VRA 10-bagger Tesla (-4%) and IBM (-2%) are each selling off this AM. The moves higher in each has been parabolic this year and with our markets trading at extreme overbought levels on the VRA System, a shake-out does not surprise. Nasdaq is -120 in premarket.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning. Charles Payne of Fox Business had me back on his show ‘Making Money’ yesterday and the events surrounding it were interesting. Here’s how it works: First, one of Charles producers emails you a day or two before and ask if you’re available for the show. Second, they ask you to send over your latest “hit” (VRA Letter). I’m assuming they do this so they can see whether or not what you’re saying is interesting and/or worthy of being on air. Third, they let you know whether or not you’re officially invited onto the show.
Read MoreBreaking; we just learned that the Fed’s favorite inflation gauge (core PCE) fell to 4.2% in March from 5.1% in February. This marks 8 straight months that we’ve had “disinflation”. With both US and European GDP reports coming in weak, we reiterate our call for the Fed to cease rate hikes and to begin cutting rates. The 10 year yield is 3.44% this AM while the Fed funds rate is 5%. The Fed never leads, they only follow. The markets are screaming at the Fed to “pause and pivot”.
Read MoreAs 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.
But soon, our overbought sell-off will be behind us. Based on VRA System readings, by weeks end we should be hitting oversold levels that typically mark reversals higher, especially near the birth of new bull markets.
Good Friday morning all. From the 10/13/22 capitulation lows we’ve been witness to a textbook “new bull market”. It’s only just the beginning of a new bull market…one that should last years…just know that we have hit heavily overbought readings on the VRA Investing System (more on this later):
Read MoreGood Friday morning all. As we’ve covered over the last year, the current bear market…the 3rd in 4 years…actually started in February 2021. That’s when groups such as SPACs, meme stocks, China, biotechnology, etc hit a top and started to decline.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. I’ll be on with our great friend Wayne Allyn Root tonight on the Wayne Root Show at 8:30 PM EST. Listen in on USARadio.com or via Wayne’s site; RootForAmerica.com. We’ll be talking about this (bear) market and the soon to be extreme oversold conditions…
Read MoreGood Thursday afternoon all. Yesterday's recovery move higher, on the backs of that horrendous CPI report, was intriguing. Yes, each index finished lower but “well” off of their lows as the semis actually finished up nearly 1% with internals that were only slightly negative.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. As Tyler covered in detail on yesterdays VRA Investing Podcast (sign up for alerts @ vrainsider.com/podcast), something interesting could be brewing to restore our (short term) faith in the markets. Even as Nasdaq (-1.2%), on the back of the Netflix implosion was hit yesterday the internals actually showed improvement.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. Excellent day in the Dow Jones yesterday (+210…we love both the Dow and R2K charts here) but slow summer-like day elsewhere. ATH’s once again in S&P 500 and we’ve now had back-to-back-to-back days with ATH’s in the semis as SMH put up a bit of a furious rally…
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. Yesterday may have been a quiet day on the surface, but like ducks on the water it was a much different story below the water line. We’ve just had back to back days with fresh ATH’s in Nasdaq and Q’s (Nasdaq 100), the semis led the way higher (they’ll hit ATH’s soon),
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. Breaking news from the ADP jobs report this AM which came in at 978,000 jobs created vs estimate of 650,000. I can tell you that there’s some nervousness around the May jobs report that’ll be out tomorrow morning (8:30 AM EST),
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. This feels as much like a goldilocks market as I can remember. You know the reasons we’re bullish…the reasons we’ve been aggressively bullish for the last 14 months…but its primarily about two issues. These are the most important two issues of any bull or bear market;
Read MoreGood Friday morning all. Following a solid intraday reversal higher into the close that sent multiple indexes and sectors to ATH (including SPX, Nasdaq, Housing and Transports) the Dow Jones is giving back 2/3’s of yesterday's gains this AM. Earnings continue to destroy their comps of Q1 2020.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. Yesterday marked the 3rd straight day of less than great internals with negative across the board in A/D and volume, while the bright spot continued to be new 52 week high/lows at 341 new highs to just 39 new lows.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. Market softness continued yesterday, following a solid open with good internals, as mid-day selling pressure took the Dow from +320 to slightly negative at the close. Nasdaq weakness was pervasive throughout the day, taking the index -2% at the close.
Read MoreGood Thursday morning all. Wonder what new all time highs just a week after the corona with lime virus is telling us? The world's best discounting mechanism acts as our crystal ball. As you may have noticed we don’t get bogged down much with the news of the day…
