We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Fed – We Make Money from Nothing

Lee Adler

Neither the Fed’s weekly real time balance sheet data, nor its slightly lagged data on the condition of the US banking system yet shows any sign of an imminent end to the stock market rally. On the other hand, there’s plenty of evidence of an entrenched mania. And they usually don’t end well. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

We can deduce that the fuel for this rally has several sources. They’re not finite. This is a matter of where there’s a will there’s a way. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Some of it is bond portfolio liquidation. Some is margin. Some is foreign money inflows. None of it is coming from the Fed. This is all about animal spirits, and the power of animal spirits to create money from nothing and stocks for free. Just borrow the money into existence. Or move it from something else, or somewhere else. That can go on and on until the mass psychology exhausts itself. When that happens, it usually does so with a vengeance. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

This process is sustainable until it isn’t. We, like the Fed, are data dependent, and that data includes both the liquidity data and the technical analysis data that I cover in the Technical Trader reports. So far neither set of data is screaming “It’s over!” Until they show signs of topping out simultaneously, we have to let it ride. The theater is crowded, but there’s no point in screaming “Fire!” yet. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Swing Trade Screen Picks – What Happens When Not Holding the Mag Seven

Lee Adler

Despite the huge gains on Thursday there were only 39 charts which met all my buy side criteria in the screens, and 26 with meeting final sell criteria. It suggests that this is a mature up-move, not one just getting started. By the same token it shows no sign of an imminent downturn.  Non-subscribers click here for access.

Technical Trader subscribers click here to download the complete report.

List performance was disappointing in light of the big move. That’s because I had too many shorts on the list. The average gain was just 4.8% on an average holding period of 26 calendar days. That’s versus 2.8% on an average holding period of 18 days, the previous week.  Non-subscribers click here for access.

It’s disappointing not to take full advantage of that huge gain. On the other hand, buying and holding the Magnificent Seven for the past couple of years would have been brilliant… Right… what they say about hindsight.  Non-subscribers click here for access.

If you’ve known me for a long time, you know that I am more comfortable shorting stocks than buying them. That’s been the weakness in this process in the past 18 months. I’ve been fascinated by those stocks that the screens are spitting out on the sell side, but shorting them hasn’t worked well. The downsides have been limited, if they emerge at all.  Non-subscribers click here for access.

This morning, I looked at the 26 charts on the sell side with interest to see if any of them stood out. Upon visual review, let’s just say that I was underwhelmed, which skepticism would have served better if I had applied it 4 weeks ago. But I did cave on two of them, and added them to the list on the short side as shown on the table below.  Non-subscribers click here for access.

On the buy side, most charts looked to be too late in the game, but there were 6 that I liked for their potential to be late-stage movers, or long-term breakouts that look likely to extend.  Non-subscribers click here for access.

All tracking, except for one pick, will start assuming half the purchase on the opening price and half on the close as of today, February 23. The exception is based on a limit price being hit at some point prior to the next update. These are all shown on the table below.  Non-subscribers click here for access.

6 picks hit stops since the last report. I will close out 2 shorts as of the opening print today. I have added or adjusted stops on several of the remaining picks. The rest I’m content to let ride for this week. The table below shows open picks and those closed out last week.  Non-subscribers click here for access.

Market Sentiment vs. Liquidity Reaches Historical Hysterical

Lee Adler

In last week’s report, we noted that “One of the key measures of animal spirits versus liquidity has reached an historic level of insanity that could mark the end of this move. Or it could signal the beginning of even more craziness.” Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Subscribers, click here to download the report.

The market’s verdict last week was “more craziness.” But the liquidity readings still are not cooperating. That craziness should end with a thud in the next couple of weeks. We’re already seeing the indigestion in the bond market. I think that that’s a sign of things to come, with worse news ahead for Treasuries and other fixed income. And then for stocks. Non-subscribers, click here for access.

The issue, as always is the timing. We’ve reached a stage in this market that the weekly banking data and real time weekly Fed balance sheet data is more important than ever. Therefore, I will go to a weekly follow up on this.  I’ll show you the charts, tell you what they mean, and we’ll formulate a plan for how to handle the tactical view from the TA.  Non-subscribers, click here for access.

This very well could be the week that was. One way or the other. This report shows what the key is, and what to do about it.  Non-subscribers, click here for access.

Swing Trade Screen Picks – List Recovers Both Ways.

Lee Adler

Over the past two trading sessions there were 102 charts with a second buy signal on the week, and 192 with a second sell signal. That includes signals from Tuesday’s big selloff and Wednesday’s big rebound. The bears still had the bigger numbers. Non-subscribers click here for access.

Technical Trader subscribers click here to download the complete report.

There were too many to review visually, so I added a filter to test 6-month cycle status. After applying that, there were 59 buys and still 174 sells. That speaks for itself. Non-subscribers click here for access.

List performance improved in the past week with an average gain of 2.8% on an average holding period of 18 days. That compares with the February 6 status of an approximate breakeven with an average holding period of 17 calendar days. Non-subscribers click here for access.

I am standing pat on the list this week. Yesterday, due to a Windows update meltdown, I was forced to reboot my computer 10 times until I finally was able to get it running smoothly again at 10 PM last night. As a result I was not able to accomplish the tasks I normally would have. So I will set aside looking for new picks for this week. We already have a very substantial list. Non-subscribers click here for access.

3 picks hit stops last week. I have added or adjusted stops on several of the remaining picks. The rest I’m content to let ride for this week. The table shows open picks and those closed out last week. Non-subscribers click here for acces.
