The S&P-500 is showing a hidden bullish divergence and looks like it's at the head of a head and shoulders pattern forming. It's only 25% down so....this puppy just might end this possible correction right now.

buy the dip.

i'm no longer buying long or short the market, it's too volatile and can pivot at any second....i think TIPS are the best place to be, and to collect the dividends, cause more inflation is innevitable.

TIPS means an ETF? Be careful, all Derivatives will go to mon(k)ey heaven. With shares, you own a share of a company, no matter what the money is worth. If the company doesn't go bankrupt, you still own a part of that company when the smoke clears. And physical Silver is a insurance against total control via CBDC.

Thank you. Sounds good.

TIPS can be purchased directly from the government through the Treasury-direct system, in $100 increments with a minimum investment of $100, and are available with 5-, 10-, and 30-year maturities.

Some investors prefer to get TIPS through a TIPS mutual fund or exchange-traded fund (ETF). Purchasing TIPS directly, however, allows investors to avoid the management fees associated with mutual funds.

Better avoid the ETF variant.

Treasury Inflation Protected Securities...moves higher as inflation moves higher, and pays higher dividends.

...and "government issued"...and controled. Sounds like public education. I would not say TIPS are not safe, but one could question whether they're worth it.

No offense, but when bureaucrats or politicians determine what "higher" means in "...higher as inflation moves higher, and pays higher dividends", the market volatility doesn't seem as scary for some reason.

Silver is out of the bottle. It's going to get rough now. Fasten Seat Belts (and buy Stocks as Inflation Hedge).

PEZ, I'm curious how you reconcile "...Last Rallye or last monster rallye (before the MOAB/mother of all bubbles/ bursts)" with other post' "...and buy Stocks as Inflation Hedge"?

The system will end when the dollar becomes worthless and people don't want to hold anymore debt.

Greg,

Good afternoon.

You work yourself up on a daily basis.

The stress you put yourself under can cause you to get a heart attack.

IMO<>I disagree with you.

This inflation cycle was caused by supply chain breakdown and pure greed..

Yes we are in a recession and it will get worse.

With regard to the Fed raising interest rates. It takes 12 months or one year to have a full economic impact. Rate increases as follows.

3/17/22 <>0.25%

5/5/22<>0.50%

6/16/22<>0.75%

7/27/22<>0.75%

9/21/22<>0.75%

This will slow the economy and cause demand destruction.

One thing to watch

Estimates are starting to come in @ $65-$100 billion damage caused by Hurricane Ian in Florida

Tragically over 100 people died thus far. So sad. May they RIP

So stop destroying your room and relax and start paying attention to the long term historical charts and data.

Relax and enjoy the evening.

Thanks.

I think that the Ukraine situation changes this due to less gas on the market than normal

The UN pronouncement that interest rate hikes are killing the economy is meant to keep the suckers in the market before the designed crash. Now the banks will print more money now to keep the bond market low for a while and people will stay in let the insiders trade their investment funds and not hedge with commodities and high dividends. Will not know when to get out and will go down with the middleclass.

Wasn’t complaining when rates were zero interest now they’re holding the bag 💼

The Federal Reserve is playing a 'balancing act' of increasing bond yield significantly without hurting the markets...and their goal of raising bond yields is so that they can lower them for a longer period of time in the future, because heavy investors want to see the Ten Year Yield steadily decline in order to obtain maximum profits...a drop from 3.5% down to 2.6% is not enough, a drop from 4% down to 3.6% is not enough...considering that the Ten Year Yield had been sitting under 1% all of 2020. The yield curve is too close to the floor, and will make no impact on the equity markets at this current level....no room for the "plunge protection team" . But by raising the yields higher and incrementally coming in to save the equity markets while performing rate hikes, this increases inflation significantly.

IMO

When rates are done the 10 year will settle @4.5-4.75% causing the economy to come to a significant slowdown. We are in a recession and it's going to get worse.

The stock market will drag on until late 2023 or early 2024.Then watch out below

Thanks,
