Market Report for Sep 30 2022

With the prior day rally being completely neutralised as the S&P 500 fell to new lows for 2022. The Nasdaq has still managed to escape any breach of YTD lows even with the AAPL downgrade by BoA which saw the stock decline 5% on Thursday’s trading.

We are still standing aside. The trimming of our portfolio at the start of the month and in recent weeks has helped with

Market Report for Sep 28 2022

The day started with the markets revved up but we have been here before and bought the t-shirt, signs of bullishness soon abated. The day ended mixed with the Nasdaq closing positive and S&P 500 and Dow 30 closing negative. The S&P 500 undercut its June 2022 lows.

Other than three stocks, all others closed positive for the day.

The September slump seems very long and there is no

Another red day but some relative strength in mega-caps did help limit the losses on Monday’s session.

While many stocks may appear oversold, this is more of an accurate hindsight interpretation. Just because an indicator shows as oversold, does not mean the market will abide by that reading and turnaround. So use caution when using overbought/oversold indicators. They offer little to no edge.

So how are we dealing with

Market Report for Sep 22 2022

The FOMC voted unanimously to increase the target rate by 75 basis points. This was not a surprise for the market although the commentary that followed with the terminal rate estimate brought up to 4.60% from what was originally 3.80%.

Still another week remaining for September and we will look to buy more stocks after that period if the market sets up.

Let’s go trade!

Market Report for Sep 20 2022

Selling follow-through sentiment was the premarket behaviour which changed as the session continued. However, any buying strength was limited due to the FOMC meeting and pending rate decision.

Most of our trades found strength in yesterdays session but not much can be taken away from that until after the rate hike.

Let’s go trade!

Market Report for Sep 16 2022

Thursday brought on more choppiness to weakness and has the S&P 500 testing the 3900 zone with the help of weakness from mega-cap stocks. The market did try to rebound early in the session but a bullish momentum was nowhere to be found.

We continue to watch and wait with a little less than half of the September slump remaining now.

Let’s go trade!

Market Report for Sep 15 2022

Halfway through the September slump and we are just chopping around. A choppy bullish session that ended with a decision candle but lacking conviction.

Mega-caps were leading the majority of stocks in the session with a slight pullback in Treasury yields.

We made no changes yesterday.

Let’s go trade!

After CPI the Dow falls 1200 points to its worst day since June 2020. The rising Treasury yields also piled on pressure for stocks as the mega-caps directed the downside.

The path the Fed will take probably won’t change based on what stocks have been doing but the CPI data has the market worried about how the Fed will handle it. Add to this the Reuters report of possible

Market Report for Sep 13 2022

Further to the weekend webinar and the end of last weeks sessions, we saw a carryover of momentum into the start of this week.

All the indices and sectors closed Monday on a positive note and all bar one of our stocks had a bullish day. Our newest purchase being our leader.

Today all eyes will be on the CPI data.

Let’s go trade!
