It took 11 years to recover after prices peaked in 1968 and 25 years to recover from the 1929 peak. #-ad_banner-#In global markets, the track record is worse. Japanese stocks still remain more than 40% below their 1989 highs. That’s an extreme example but it’s been almost 30 years since Japanese stocks peaked. Read More

So, in honor of her sage advice, I want to kick things off by saying something nice about the stock market — it’s likely we will have a lot of opportunities to make money buying put options for at least the next few months. Now that I’ve made Mom proud, I’ll say it less nicely. The stock market is in terrible shape. Here’s what I’m looking at… The 3 Bearish Signals We Saw Last Week Here’s the first chart I look at every day. It’s a daily chart of the S&P 500 index, with a 200-day… Read More

It looks like we are in a bear market. There are a few indicators that point to that conclusion but I’m going to look at just two of them today. The first indicator is a chart showing the percentage change in the prices of the Dow Jones components over the past four weeks. Notice that IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) are near the bottom. Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) and McDonald’s (NYSE: MCD) are at the top. In bear markets, investors tend to like McDonald’s. At the worst point of the 2008 bear market, MCD was… Read More

At the worst point of the 2008 bear market, MCD was only down about half as much as the S&P 500. Over the full course of that bear market, the stock lost just 7%. This chart shows investors are shifting to defensive stocks. That can be seen in the next chart, which looks at the changes in different sectors over the past three months. Consumer staples, healthcare and utilities are the classic defensive sectors. These include companies like Procter & Gamble in the consumer staples sector, drug companies in the healthcare sector and your local power company in the utilities sector. These are the kind of businesses that offer… Read More

Some, like Larry from Washington, will bank 6-figures this year. To find out what you’re missing, click here NOW… In the past few weeks, volatility has picked up. Applying technical analysis to the broader stock market, the tenor of trading has shifted. This can be seen in the chart below, which shows the S&P 500 index and its 200-day moving average (MA). The 200-day MA can be used to define the direction of the long-term trend. Notice that the index collapsed in the recent selloff and is now testing the MA. A decisive break below that MA indicates a downtrend in the market, which in this case would most likely lead to a bear market. The reason I believe a breakdown in the S&P 500 will lead to a bear market is because small-cap stocks have already broken down. Small caps are the most speculative group of stocks in the market because they generally have the weakest… Read More

I want to start this week by answering the question that’s on everyone’s mind… “What the heck is going on in the market?” To do that, we need to start by looking back. In particular, I want to review the busy-looking chart below. This is a chart of the Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ: QQQ) — an exchange-traded fund that tracks the tech-heavy NASDAQ 100 index — during the lead up to the dot-com crash. As you can guess, the NASDAQ 100 was at the center of the bubble in 1999. The vertical red line marks the day… Read More

As you can guess, the NASDAQ 100 was at the center of the bubble in 1999. The vertical red line marks the day when QQQ topped out following a huge run that saw the price climb about 150% in the previous 12 months. In hindsight, that overall 150% gain is what we remember. But in real time, it was difficult to hold stocks, even as prices soared. —Recommended Link— Create A 10%+ Income Stream For Life We’re sitting on a collection of the safest, most generous monthly payers available.

I have long believed sentiment is the most important factor. Sentiment explains the internet bubble in 1999. Investors believed the internet was going to revolutionize commerce… and that belief turned out to be correct. But it took time for companies and consumers to learn how to benefit from the internet. Market prices of stocks simply got ahead of earnings. #-ad_banner-#In a bubble, the gap between sentiment and earnings widens until it eventually becomes too large and the prices of stocks fall. We also saw the impact sentiment can have during the 2008 financial crisis. In 2008 and 2009, sentiment fell sharply — and so did stock… Read More

To get all the fascinating details, go here. (If you missed that piece, you can read it here.) If Hetty were looking at today’s market, I’m certain she would be buying Honda Motor (NYSE: HMC). I’m sure you are familiar with Honda. It’s a Japanese automaker, which means its business could be threatened by a potential trade war. #-ad_banner-#I looked beyond all of that and simply considered the value of the company.

Go here to see how it’s racked up $140,490 in extra cash for us… Now, that may sound like a bad thing, but it’s actually my favorite part of the strategy. You see, every time one of our options expires worthless, it gives us the chance to write another option on the stock, capturing another big income payment. Here’s a snapshot of our three positions that expired worthless on June 15. As you can see, we’ve already generated a significant amount of income from selling call options on these three positions. And because our June options expired worthless, we can now sell another round of covered calls. #-ad_banner-#On June 19, I sent my readers a trade alert with… Read More
