Whipsaw Bond Market Signals a Buy for REITs
Every so often, market volatility spikes, which invariably causes great upheaval in various sectors of the equity and bond markets. Lately, while the stock market has generally behaved itself, the bond market has endured one of the wildest periods of extreme price movement recorded in many years. Because the global bond market now exceeds $100 […]
Are Ultra-Long Treasury Bonds the Next Big Thing?
The topic of whether the United States will start issuing 50- and 100-year Treasuries in the next few years, if not sooner, has started a genuine dialogue. What has been reserved for very special emerging market situations, like the 7.9% 100-year government bond that Argentina sold in 2017 to raise $2.75 billion amid optimism about […]
Consumer Spending and High Seas Indicators Turn Sharply Bullish
The month of August closed out on a three-day uptick for the major averages, boosted by a rising narrative that the U.S. consumer is feeling pretty good about the present situation. The Conference Board’s Senior Director of Economic Indicators Lynn Franco stated, “Consumers’ assessment of current conditions improved further, and the Present Situation Index is […]
Spending Spree in 5G Makes for Big Investment Theme
Tumultuous market conditions for the month of August put a number of investing strategies to the test as to their viability to produce positive results against an inverted yield curve and other challenges. The other risks include a strong dollar that boosts the price of U.S. exports, spiking gold prices, algorithmic sell programs, geopolitical tensions, […]
Fed Faces a Key Decision on Rates
The Fed faces a key decision on rates that undoubtedly will move the markets once its next move is known.

August Correction Reveals Market’s Favorite Stocks
One thing I relish when the market undergoes a nasty correction, as it has in the past two weeks, is that after every stock has been washed, rinsed and gone through the spin cycle, we get a clear idea of which stocks are the best to own going forward. In a sell-first, ask-questions-later market landscape […]
Trading the New Bull Market in Gold
The stock market has entered no man’s land this past week, with the S&P breaking its intermediate-term uptrend line and yet finding key support at 2,800 where its 200-day moving average sits. The mid-week snapback rally took the S&P back up to its 50-day moving average that was met with selling pressure Friday, going into […]
Time to Sell Covered Calls on Rallies
The summer of love for the stock market has been well-oiled by the assumption of a locked-and-loaded rate cut by the Fed and generally better-than-expected second-quarter earnings. As of Friday, 59% of companies in the S&P 500 reported actual Q2 results with 77% of companies announcing a positive earnings per share (EPS) surprise, while 61% […]
Energy Infrastructure Is Making a Sudden Move
It’s no secret that for the past five years, investing in energy MLPs has been a losing proposition aside from collecting dividends while watching principal erosion. The energy boom in the U.S. has involved the building out of massive networks of pipelines, storage facilities, transfer stations and processing facilities, and yet the sector has sorely […]

The S&P 500 is trading at a new all-time high as earnings season is taking on the tone of a “glass half full” after the first full week of Q2 results. This is too bad for investment houses like Morgan Stanley, which have turned bearish on stocks and have thus taken their global equity rating […]
