S&P 500 Projections
In our blog on April 22/18 we showed our TL_Forecaster Model’s projection for the S&P 500 ‘to a pullback to the mid 2700 range by mid/late May and if that level holds it could be a great buying opportunity.’ Since that forecast the market has moved moderately higher, peaking at 2955, just above our near-term target […]

S&P 500 hits new all-time high – but why?
The S&P 500 hit a new all-time high yesterday. While the mainstream media keeps pointing to Fed policy on interest rates and US-China trade optimism, the real driving force for the rise in the S&P 500 is much deeper and more powerful than the daily news. We have often stated that if you get the […]
Are you ready for a potential great buying opportunity?
In late 2017 we warned of much more volatile times ahead, from 2018 to 2020. Up until the start of 2018 the stock markets were in a solid 9+ year bull market. Investors were confident, to the point of being ‘complacent’ , with a ‘risk-on’ sentiment. But then things changed, inflation worries crept into the […]

Students prefer socialism, but what if they were the ones who had to pay for it?
According to a recent Gallup poll, more young Americans would prefer living in a socialist country than a capitalist one.They like the idea of free education, free healthcare, and even free income.

Why should I care if the yield curve inverts?
On Wednesday last week the US Federal Reserve announced the expected, saying they were not raising rates at this time.

Two indicators showing stock market is overbought
The S&P 500 is attempting to break through its key near-term resistance range but as of today it is also getting overbought. While we remain long-term bullish for the equity markets, we note that two key technical indicators are signaling that the stock market is getting overbought in the near-term. On the chart below we show […]
Time to address pervasive and unjust forfeiture systems that allows police to deprive even innocent people of their property.
Wikipedia defines Civil Asset Forfeiture “as a legal process in which law enforcement officers take assets from persons suspected of involvement with crime or illegal activity without necessarily charging the owners with any wrongdoing. While civil procedure, as opposed to criminal procedure, generally involves a dispute between two private citizens, civil forfeiture involves a dispute between law enforcement and property such as a pile of cash […]

How to identify a stock market top months before it happens
Most investors understand that the stock market doesn’t follow the economy, it leads it. That means we cannot wait for a recession to get out of the markets because the markets generally start to fall months before a recession kicks in. If the stock market tops before the economy goes into a recession, how do […]
Do we see a top in the S&P 500 next week?
The S&P 500 closed Friday at 2670.71 up 2.87% for the week and up 13.58% from its December 24th low. While this rally has been very impressive, our timing models are showing that Tuesday will be a key date (US markets are closed Monday for MLK Day), and suggests we could see a top and directional change […]
