How to Navigate This Market’s Treacherous Conditions

Posted by Clint Lee | Feb 9, 2022 | Big Picture. Big Profits., Economy, Investing

Friday morning was a sight to behold. Our biggest snowfall this winter left a glistening white landscape everywhere you looked around my house … not to mention three very excited kids getting an extended weekend after schools closed. But the beauty on the surface masked treacherous conditions below. A thick layer of ice and sleet had come down first. Getting around in the snow may be difficult, but it’s doable. Driving on ice is nearly impossible … and very dangerous. Over the past year, the stock market has been staging a similar dynamic: dazzling and exciting scenery hiding the hazards beneath.

Don’t Bottom Fish for Speculative Growth Stocks

In today’s Your Money Matters, Clint Lee gives you the lowdown on areas of the market that are starting to see steep falls from their highs. Does that mean it’s time to go bottom fishing and grab those opportunities? Before you get ahead of yourself, Clint says to take a step back and look at the big picture. Because yes, many speculative areas of the market are tempting and have already seen a 50% peak-to-trough decline, but it’s not what it seems. Clint guides you toward the sectors that have seen true carnage, trade at reasonable valuations and are seeing good expected earnings growth. He also gives you three solid stock picks.

The Signal From Junk

Posted by Clint Lee | Feb 1, 2022 | Big Picture. Big Profits., Economy, Investing

That happened fast. Just 15 trading days for the S&P 500 to hit correction territory (at least on an intraday basis) last week, making it one of the fastest in history to kick off a new year. That’s a bit concerning on the heels of a mostly calm 2021, where the S&P 500 barely registered a 5% decline. Does this sudden burst of volatility tell us something about the stock market? Are we now careening over the edge and staring into a bear market abyss? Before you assume that 2022’s bad start is about to turn into something worse, lean on history to guide you.

Time the Bounce for Profit

In today’s Your Money Matters, Clint Lee and Ted Bauman review the stock market’s terrible start to 2022. But a bad start doesn’t always mean a bad finish — just ask the tortoise about his race with the hare.

A big question, though, is how to know when the market has reached the short-term bottom.

If you can spot that, you can grab the opportunity to ride it back up to whatever level it’s going to achieve later on.

Clint explains how you can identify that opportunity using easily accessible technical indicators … and why it’s so important to wait for confirmation of a rebound before jumping in.

The Fed Kills the Momentum Trade

Posted by Ted Bauman | Jan 28, 2022 | Big Picture. Big Profits., Economy, Investing

In June 2020, Barstool Sports founder and wannabe investor Dave Portnoy infamously said that “stocks only go up.” In 2022? Sorry Dave. In today’s video, Ted Bauman walks us through the consequences of the Fed’s recent hawkish turn. Even after big declines since the beginning of the year, there’s plenty of overvaluation in the market still. Ted reviews the history of stock performance in Fed tightening cycles, which is better than you might imagine. But there’s one big fear hovering over the market … what if the Fed is tightening into a downturn? That would be bad and not just for momentum stocks.
