Three week's ago, the S&P had fallen below 5,000 and Wall Street was worried the party in stocks might be over. Nope. Stocks rebounded and, as of today, the S&P, Dow, and (almost) NASDAQ sit at all-time highs. Technically, it looks like the bull trend is set to continue says portfolio manager Lance Roberts, especially with $1 trillion of announced …

Everyone is paying close attention to the Federal Reserve and wondering when they will begin lowering interest rates. The lower-than-expected jobs report from two weeks ago certainly got people excited, but inflation is still being stubborn. What is really going on with our economy, and how can we cut through the noise of the popular media and focu…

It feels like a tale of two economies right now. If you ask an economist, chances are you'll hear that the US is doing great, growing faster than its G7 peers, with low unemployment and a stock market back near all-time highs. But if you ask the average man on the street, you'll likely hear a very different story. One of hardship, where wages aren'…

The Dow just had its best week of 2024. And the S&P remains on a tear higher from its mid-April lows.

Stubbornly sticky inflation looks to be turning the Federal Reserve's campaign of Higher For Longer interest rates into "Higher For Even Longer" Today's guest warns that "Markets are unprepared for price growth that is becoming entrenched".

Is the market downdraft that sent stocks 5% lower from their recent all-time highs over? It's looking like it could be. But the market is at a "critical juncture" observes portfolio manager Lance Roberts. The S&P is getting quite close to its 50 and 20 Daily Moving Averages. If it rises above them, then we're likely back off to the races and new al…

With the market now expecting less than 2 rate cuts this year -- perhaps none at all until next year according to Bank of America -- what does that mean for the economy?

When I last interviewed today's guest back in December, he said that the forecast of his proprietary model made him about "as bullish as he'd ever been on stocks" heading into 2024.

The unending string of up weeks we saw in stocks in Q1 has ended here in April. The market had a volatile week, with the S&P ending roughly 100 points lower and bond yields continuing to rise, with the UST 10-year now over 4.5% Notably, the S&P has broken below the bullish trendline it has been trading in since the bull rally began back in November…

Today's guest expert is concerned that too many investors, giddy with the ferocious market gains since November, are increasingly willing to pay prices for assets that only make sense if the pace of gains continues into the far future.

When I interviewed today's guest expert back in August of 2021, when inflation was 5%, he made the bold prediction that the CPI would eventually hit 9%, a prediction that seemed unthinkable at the time -- but it indeed proved true less than a year later.He then called for inflation to moderate substantially, which it also then did.Where does he see…
