What a week starting today! 

 

My FF is down to flat or slightly UP ... then FACE-RIPPING RALLY after the FED announcement & Press Conference. 
 

Rally could go all the way into late AUGUST ... then new 2022 LOWS into end of September

 

All this can be blown to smithereens with one or more GEOPOLITICAL events ---even a US issue.

Everyone knows the Fed is to hike by 75 bpts, but the real deal is what the Fed will say.  Likely profit taking before the Fed .......................

Near top of reversal zone but not go below zero before rallying again

This guy sends out some good stuff, also good posts like this one in Twitter -- I am BULLISH BONDS on IT basis, vis TLT CALLS  since TLT was 124 and started declining, hammering out a bottom, up, down, and ready to break out to new ST highs above 120 ....  click the link to view the 10-yr chart

 

No. But maybe this time?

That 50% Bearish Fundamentals is one of a few GOOD reasons by the markets will rally after another minor pullback

RECESSION ALREADY in progress .... markets bottom early in MILD RECESSIONS, this will be mild. BUT, the recovery will be slow, boring, maybe more painful than a MILD RECESSION should be.  Oil should drop below 70 & NAT GAS below 6 by the time the recession ends. 

The bigger problems are the persistent CHINA COVID slowdown and the dreadful European WINTER gas supply problem. So, 2 or more quarters with low negative GDPs, then positive but dragged down by CHINA & EUROPE/UKRAINE situation

In his latest, makes a compelling case that any recession will be mild and brief… One of many factors that support his case is the consumers' ratio of liabilities to net wealth is at the lowest level in 50 years!… $SPY $QQQ $TLT $USO More: https://bit.ly/3RWpu0e

I also see it this way:

 

 

Jul 21, 2022 | 10:35 AM EDT DOUG KASS The Way I See It As you would note in my diary, in the last 24 hours I have taken my foot off of the accelerator a bit - by selling out a few longs - ($SNOW) , ($RH) , ($GS) - and reducing my ($SPY) long

position. The markets are now overbought (S &P oscillator at 3.28%). That said, I don't see the downside that bears see. In fact, I only see a couple percent of downside. That is the way I see it and I am a buyer on weakness, waiting for the right pitch. @tomkeene @ferrotv
