TRUTH: as long as FED let it flow then market goes up

 

REALITY: it cannot continue forever and there will be a "reckoning" 

 

"Those betting against this “absurdly overvalued” stock market are about to get paid, if Kevin Smith, Crescat Capital’s chief investment officer, has it right in his gloomy assessment.

“Speculation is rampant and being championed by a bold new breed of millennial day traders,” he said. “The mania is based on a widespread hope in Fed money printing. The catalysts for reckoning are numerous as a major cyclical economic downturn has only just begun.”

Smith, who recently talked about learning the ropes from a stack of Berkshire Hathaway BRK.A, -0.51% BRK.B, -0.55% shareholders letters his dad gave him long ago, said, in a very un–Warren Buffett fashion, that shorting stocks “is worthy of a significant allocation today.”

Smith used this chart of plunging S&P 500 SPX, -0.56% profit margins to show “how insanely disconnected equity prices are from their underlying fundamentals.” He warned that buy-the-dip investors are “not paying attention and have simply been too eager to call the bottom.”

Smith reiterated his “macro trade of the century” call that there’s never been a better set-up for rotating out of overvalued stocks and into undervalued precious metals.

 

“Markets driven by euphoria never end well,” he explained in a note to clients this week. “The U.S. stock market today is in la-la land. It is discounting a new expansion phase of the economy at the same time as a major recession has only just begun.”

I must admit that I believe markets do not crash when there are so many doom & gloom naysayers. But, it is over-extended so expect a pullback that may have begun on Friday afternoon

Yes, I still believe there is more than a 75% probability markets will trade below SPX 2000 sometime before the end of 2021, most likely in 2020, and if  pressed I will tell you the low will be in October-November 2020, That does not prevent me from making tons of $$ trading NQ long!

"Have a great weekend! Last weeks engulfing candle saw no follow through-just a backtest of Mays breakout to put in an inside week. Decision week now. My plan: 3060 is battleground. Bullish above, and 3130 is gate to 3200+. For bears: Fail to recapture 3060 opens 2920 where Id buy"

3050-60 seems to be a favorite pivot: this from TIC TOC:

Trade plan for week of 6/22:

1. Look 👀 only fo longs above 3056, targets 3300

2. Shorts for me below 3056, targets 2905

Friday close 3057

Many are very bullish.... 

 

"...As long as this market remains above 3k support, the larger Covid rebound remains alive and well. Even a dip and test of this level isn’t a reason to abandon ship. But if prices fall under this level and the selling accelerates, as nimble traders, it is our responsibility to get out and reassess. Until then, continue giving this rebound the benefit of doubt.

Next week is an important make-or-break week for the market. If the breakdown doesn’t happen next week, it isn’t going to happen. Keep your stops near 3k and let the market tell us what it wants to do next. Until the price action tells us otherwise, ignore all the cynicism and second-guessing...."
