Fear & Greed Index For Today👇
48 Yesterday & 51 Today.
The market pumped today and pushed us closer to the greed category.
I feel this is being a little generous and we are closer to 65 on this scale.
Be greedy when others are fearful.
Be fearful when others are greedy.
Today’s Economic Updates👇
30 year fixed mortgage rate falls to 6.61% today versus 6.84% yesterday.
10 year treasury bond yield climbs to 4.27% today vs 4.23% yesterday.
95% chance we get a 25bps rate cut Dec 18th, vs 86% yesterday.
CPI came in today @ 2.7%, which was in line with expectations👇
This is the YoY inflation rate each month.
The Stock Market Is Going Nuts
It seems like every week the market is hitting new all time highs.
Names like Tesla and Palantir are some of the biggest winners recently and everyone is talking about it.
Yes these companies do amazing things and are working on transformational products, but it’s not hitting the bottom line yet…
I have been making a boat load of money this year and I am not complaining, I am just saying to be careful!
Remember, earnings are the number one thing that matters for a stock price in the long run. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE PROFITS!
Many stocks are disconnected right now.
So Where Are We At On This Chart?
I feel we are in the greed category now.
Maybe we will remain here for a week, or maybe a year, or maybe 5 years.
Nobody knows.
The key is to continue to add to the base of the portfolio no matter what with the intention of holding those shares for many years.
If you find things trading at a discount to intrinsic value, use options to magnify returns.
I have been doing this through bear markets and bull markets and it works great!
Inflation Data Dropped Today
CPI came in today at 2.7% which is in line with expectations.
June of 2022 we peaked at 9.1%, so we came down quite a bit!
There is still work to be done, but we are close.
The data was viewed by the market as “good enough” to consider inflation conquered and also good enough to push away recession fears.
Now the CME fed watch tool is predicting a 94.9% chance we are going to get a 25bps cut Dec 18th.
The market pumped today on the news of this Goldilocks situation (inflation going down, strong economy, lowering of rates)
This is a best case scenario and it doesn’t usually happen this way.
Final Comments On Today👇
My trading account increased by $22,342 today.
Yes it feels good to make money, but I am being cautious with options now.
Keep your emotions in check.
Continue to DCA into quality stocks/ETFs at good prices.
When you find undervalued companies, use options to magnify gains
