16 August 2019

NOT a good week, NOT a buy week. The sum of all the deviations has been 348, 310, and now 206 – not up 2 weeks in a row.
The number of funds I rate as a buy over the last 3 weeks has been 01, 03, and now 03.
In reviewing some of the market indicators:
SPY (S&P500 ETF) is -2% above its 50 day moving average,
QQQ (Nasdaq 100 ETF) is -2% above its 50 day moving average,
IWM (Russell 2000 ETF) is -3% above its 50 day moving average,
SPY and QQQ are above their 200 day moving average.
The sum of the deviations is positive.
Not a time to buy – Sum of all deviations is not up 2 weeks in a row.

So last Saturday (10Aug) I was talking with a doctor at the local medical center. He told me I was going to stay there for a couple of days. I told him he was no longer my favorite doctor. He laughed, told me he could live with that, and he was going to get me a room for a couple of days. Thus, I was not home to do my weekly report. Both this week’s numbers and last week’s numbers are below.

I was talking with a lady last week who previously used a stop loss order to sell a stock when it dropped. Of course after she sold, it went up. I suggest she should look into PTNQ as an investment. Pacer Trendpilot 100 ETF uses the NASDAQ-100 index as an investment as long as it is above its 200 day moving average. If it declines below the 200 day moving average it starts switching to treasury bonds. Then when it increases above the 200 day moving averages, it invests in the NASDAQ-100 index again. paceretfs.com/products/trendpilot provides details about these 6 ETFs.

The MACROVoices.com podcast/audio this week featured Mark Cudmore #178. The discussion was an evaluation of where the market is now and a not so wonderful outlook for the future.
MACROVoices.com also said on Sunday they were going to have a special audio/podcast featuring Peppa Malmgran and her father Harald. They have been advisors to 6 US presidents. Harald Malmgran was advising the department of defence during the Cuban missile crisis. I expect it to be a great educational discussion.

Gary Kaltbaum has an evening radio show on the market at 6PM. It can be heard on biztalkradio.com, garyk.com, and later it is archived at both locations. He gets a little excited about the 550b we are annually paying in interest on the national debt, the continued spending by congress, and about the complete lack of concern about the US total debt level. The level of total debt in the US exceeds debt level of 2007. He thinks a economic collapse, greater than the 2008 collapse is coming, just not sure how soon.

Jessie Felder produces a free weekly email on the latest ideas he likes on investing. thefelderrreport.com. One of the comments this week is on the intelligence of government regulators. An European regulator demanded that the manager of a pension fund get rid of some cash and buy bonds – because the rules stated that. So the manager had to buy bonds in Europe and with the negative interest rates they have has now guaranteed a loss on the bonds.

12 July 2019

An OK week, a buy week. The sum of all the deviations has been 652, 733, and now 734 – up 2 weeks in a row.
The number of funds I rate as a buy over the last 3 weeks has been 38, 32, and now 46.
In reviewing some of the market indicators:
SPY (S&P500 ETF) is 4% above its 50 day moving average,
QQQ (Nasdaq 100 ETF) is 5% above its 50 day moving average,
IWM (Russell 2000 ETF) is 2% above its 50 day moving average,
SPY, QQQ and IWM are above their 200 day moving average.
The sum of the deviations is positive.
A time to buy – Sum of all deviations is up 2 weeks in a row, if only by a minimul amount.

Sorry this is late. I spend Saturday working at WDW – Animal Kingdom, Dinoland, Boneyard, and it was HOT.
I have put in buy orders for the two ETF and one fund I am buying. I generally do that on Sundays unless Fidelity will not let me due to low volume or the ETF is on a secondary exchange.

www.macrovoices.com is the internet home of the MacroVoices interviews and podcasts. They have expanded their interviews from the Wednesday hour+ interview – this week MacroVoices #174 John Netto: Gold will hit $1500 this month – with two  shorter weekly interviews. The all stars report – this week – All-Stars #27 Pippa Malmgren: Don’t underestimate the importance of data security – and energy week – this week – Energy Week #9: OPEC+, G20, And a Deep Dive on Forward Curves. The all stars is the most interesting of the two new reports. #27 is Pippa Malmgren – a outstanding economist. #26 is Juleitte Declercq – a good international view. #25 is Danielle DiMartino Booth – a former Federal Reserve Board employee who watches the FEB closely. In a previous interview Booth said in her time at the FRB a high number of the 1600+ employees were economic PHDs who spent all their time getting published in their unique economic specialties rather than working to produce better results from and for the FRB – our money at work.

I sent a copy of this webinar archive to many people this week so this may be a duplicate. Anyway, if you, friends, parents, kids, relatives, etc. have an IRA, changes are coming when tax rates change and IRAs are inherited. Based on what James says, it is the insurance companies which are pushing it so they can sell more annuities. Anyway some of his tax saving suggestions are based on current tax rates which possibly will end in two or six years. James has an interesting story on when he converted his traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs. In ’98 he was running his Pittsburgh CPA income tax preparation business on the second floor above a pizza shop. In February the pizza shop caught fire and burned the building down. He and his wife decided with a lower income that year to convert all their IRAs to Roths. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ut1i9cxpTXI

Last week I received a message from IBD – Investors Business Daily – on 5 stocks to watch. Disney (DIS) and Comcast (CMCSA) lead five top stocks to watch this week working on shallow bases as the stock market uptrend takes a breather. Cadence Design Systems (CDNS), TransDigm (TDG) and Estee Lauder (EL) round out the top five. During the week CDNS was up 5.4%, TDG was up 5.2%, CMCSA was up 3.0%, EL was up 2.5%, and Disney was down 1.0%. Friday IBD’s Stock of the day was RPD – the stock of the day is free on their web site – www.investors.com.

14 June 2019

Not a bad week, not a great week. The sum of all the deviations has been 081, 479, and now 483 – up 2 weeks in a row.
The number of funds I rate as a buy over the last 3 weeks has been 00, 08, and now 62.
In reviewing some of the market indicators:
SPY (S&P500 ETF) is 1% above its 50 day moving average,
QQQ (Nasdaq 100 ETF) is 1% below its 50 day moving average,
IWM (Russell 2000 ETF) is 2% below its 50 day moving average,
QQQ and IWM are below their 200 day moving average.
The sum of the deviations is positive.
A time to buy – Sum of all deviations is up 2 weeks in a row if only barely.

You should listen to MacroVoices All-Star #17 posted 14Jun19 which featured Danielle DiMartino Booth. She discussed last weeks Federal Reserve Board week long meeting in Chicago. As part of that session they changed the words “zero lower bound” with “effective lower bound” so that they can make negative interest rates (like Japan and the EU) and not violate any of their rules. There were also other terms changed to help hide their actions. Also interesting is that the first paper presented said that if the FED had cut rates from 5+% to -5% during the last crisis the the impact on the economy would have mitigated. They are setting the stage for a real downturn. Negative interest rates will cause cash hoarding (resulting government penalties) which may kill the financial system. Think of what that will do to your pension, bank account, etc.

07 June 2019

Not a good week, not a buy week. The sum of all the deviations has been 263, 081, and now 479 – not up 2 weeks in a row.
The number of funds I rate as a buy over the last 3 weeks has been 06, 00, and now 08.
In reviewing some of the market indicators:
SPY (S&P500 ETF) is 0% above its 50 day moving average,
QQQ (Nasdaq 100 ETF) is 1% below its 50 day moving average,
IWM (Russell 2000 ETF) is 2% below its 50 day moving average,
IWM is still below their 200 day moving average.
The sum of the deviations is positive.
Not a time to buy – Sum of all deviations is not up 2 weeks in a row.

So in January the Federal Reserve Board decided to quit raising interest rates and the market quit going down. This week the FED suggested they would reduce interest rates and the market quit going down. One of these days the FED will try it again and it will not work. There is also something to worry about when the economy is at a peak and the FED cannot raise rates without killing the market.

There is an interesting article in Seeking Alpha – https://seekingalpha.com/article/4269235-gold-surges-near-breakout. Several reports I heard claim that when gold finally closes at a new bull market high (>$1,365) it will be time to buy. SGold fund from Fidelity is performing well also.

Fidelity is back to not reporting fund distributions the weekend they occur. 5 of the funds I follow had a distribution, but it was not reported on the list of all YTD distribution. So when they get around to reporting them the results could be some minor changes in the relative fund rankings.
