Earnings season is all but done after last night's Q4 Report from Nvidia, which beat estimates, but did not inspire markets. The next dynamic to affect markets will be the closing of the buy back window ahead of Q2 Earnings reporting season. Investor behavior and market psychology is as bearish as ever. We're now seeing risk-off rotation; Lance revisits the effective use of stop-loss settings, and the importance of allowing market activity to mature. Nvidia underwhelms despite beating estimates; this is why fundamentals matter. Could Nvidia become the next "cash cow," a la Apple? RIP, Gene Hackman. Lance and Michael discuss creating liquidity out of debt, and the Fed's Reverse Repo tool. Recent Fed minutes hint at tweaking liquidity ahead of debt ceiling adjustments. Investor psychology and levels of bearishness not unlike pre-crash mentality. This may be the year with high volatility and markets go nowhere. How to be more rational? Adjust views of markets in varying time-spans (weekly, monthly) vs hourly and daily. Double-down or get out? Avoid anchoring on purchase price.

Markets broke the 100-DMA again Wednesday morning, but closed back above it by the end of the day. This illustrates the wisdom of allowing markets to mature before making any knee-jerk response (see today's Daily Market Commentary). We've had a very small correction, and markets are getting over sold, sentiment is very negative, and on a contrarian basis, we're getting set up for a pretty decent rally over the next couple of weeks. Too much negative bias generally turns into a market reaction which reverses that sentiment. Meanwhile, Bonds have enjoyed a nice rally, with a near 8% lead over stocks so far this year, but we're expecting a pullback as economic data continues to weaken. Bitcoin yesterday challenged its 200-DMA, and bounced off; think of Bitcoin as a proxy for risk. While the S&P has had a 3% decline, Bitcoin has had a 15% drop. A rally in Bitcoin would serve as a risk-on proxy, and translate back into higher prices for the S&P 500.

It's Nvidia Day today; no matter what happens on Wall Street, tomorrow's activity will hinge on tonight's report. PCE revealed on Friday: This is the one the Fed watches, and it's expected to be weaker. Interestingly, Bonds have outperformed stocks, YTD, so far. Lance discovers RentTheChicken.com; hilarity ensues. Markets take out the 100-DMA, but rally forward; a discussion on stop-losses and knee-jerk reactions. Lance and Jonathan discuss their wives' proclivities based on the latest TikTok video: Chickens, fainting goats, and ducks. Lance and Danny share their ideas for a faux FB page to influence their spouses' buying habits. The Nvidia story: Is AI going to be "the next Internet?" Nvidia's forward guidance tonight will be all that matters. Lance and Danny discuss the consequences of improper estate planning; dealing with mortality. The interpretation of Consumer Confidence Surveys: what's the database? They're more a sample of psychology than economics; the economy IS slowing, but it's not recessionary, but more of a return to pre-pandemic "normal." What is the impact of Federal employee firings? Drill-down into the data; What is the source? Sentiment surveys and expectations are skewed by political preferences. The concern about tariffs: Can companies pass along the increased costs to consumers?

Markets on Tuesday took out the 100-DMA, and lots of stop-loss levels were triggered. But, the markets actually closed for the day ABOVE the 100-DMA, and the lesson is to allow markets to mature before making moves when stop loss levels are broken. We're still in favor of selling into rallies to reduce portfolio risk. The market is getting decently over sold with four straight days of selling; so we're due for a day or two of Rally, but that may be truncated...if Nvidia lays and egg tonight, that could certainly weigh on markets tomorrow. We are in a corrective process; this is going to take a little time. (Bonds actually have a larger year-to-date gains than does the stock market at this point.)

The Chicago Fed's National Activity Index falls to -4.3: Looks like the data is catching up with reality. Excess Savings Metric: Most are in no better financial shape than before the pandemic; implications to companies' earnings that the bottom 90% are beginning to struggle. Markets challenged the 50-DMA and failed on Monday; likely to be in a corrective phase for a while. "If I were President, the first thing I would do..." Lance and Jonathan solve all problems: Cleaning up D.C. first, and the changes are not going to be without pain. Analysts are extremely optimistic in their earnings estimates for 2026; investors should be careful about over-paying for stocks priced based on these estimates. What Valuation really means: Sentiment. The Schiller CAPE Ratio vs Lance's 5-yar CAPE Ratio (coming attraction!) Investing like Tiger-21 investors: High Net-worth investors' portfolio allocations; key to success is in assets that are not correlated to smooth out volatility. What is true diversification. Why NOT put assets (Gold, Real Estate) into an IRA? Lance and Jonathan provide sound advice here. Is the DOGE Dividend a good idea? Better ways to maximize fat-cutting savings without igniting more inflation.

Markets on Monday challenged the 20-DMA and failed, clawing its way back towards the 50-DMA until the last 15-minutes of the day. Then the Institutions kicked-in, and dumped holdings. Money flows remain positive for now, but are trending negatively as money comes out of the markets. That's corresponding with the selling we're seeing now, and it appears markets will be in a corrective phase for at least the next couple of weeks. We expect markets will try to challenge the 100-DMA before the end of the week. However, data points to be released this week could give markets room to rally: Nvidia reports earnings on Thursday, and on Friday the PCE report is revealed. (If Nvidia has a positive report, and PCE comes in cooler, relieving pressure on the Fed, these could serve as catalysts for markets to rally.) When the bounce occurs, use it to reduce risk.

Lance has come up with a new business model for a Help Desk subscription service. It works on anything. The problem with margin debt; there's no appetite for IPO's. What Wall st. is doing instead. market sell off on Friday more the result of volatility around options expiration than Wuhan Lab news of the second coming of Covid. Don't expect any reflex rally today to hold. Economic indicators continue to hint at weaknesses; be aware of the content feeding sentiment surveys. There is a Republincan and Democrat dynamic to the data and its interpretation. Two expectations feed into term Prieum. Coming this week: The second revision to Q4 GDP (as oppoased to China's one-and-done reporting. Or else.) PCE inflation report preview. Will markets ever never focus on Data next-day-ism? (no.) Lance recounts his first exposure to investing, 'Learning from Mr. Lehman." Reading the WSJ, the news was days-old, and average stock holiding period was 7-years; contrast with velocity of information today, and average stock holding period not is 4-months. Markets have become like casinos (and the house always wins). What does all of this have to do with marging debt? Short-termism & Market casinos: knowing the rules. Maring debt vs stock prices. The velocity of increase in margin debt is alarming: It provides buying power on the way up, but also adds fuel for selling power on the way down. Margin calls create mandatory selling.

Markets had a nice, 1.7% selloff on Friday which brought the market back to the 50-DMA, and also triggered a MACD sell signal. There were two catalysts in play: It was an options expiry, which added volatility to markets, and there was a midday announcement from Wuhan, China of a new, second strain of the coronavirus, which triggered a form of PTSD in markets. We all remember 2020 and the previous COVID catastrophe. But the sell-off was not unexpected following markets' run up of late. Futures this morning are positive, but our suspicion is that any reflexive rally off the 50-DMA probably will not hold.

Dealing w Roth IRA vs Roth 401k rules differences. The flaw in investing to avoid paying taxes (hint: If you're paying taxes, you're making money.) Tax planning should occur all year long. Gifting custodial accounts.  Richard & Jonathan are covering the 7am CST hour for the host of our terrestrial Radio partner; think of it as a bonus show: Markets aren't Red or Blue, per elections, but Green; learning from mistakes we made curing COVID; deflation and price consciousness; why tariffs will not be inflationary;; consumers will make product substitutions. Why Social Security has become the defacto pension; notes from William Shatner's "Wrath of Khan" presentation: How to plan for outliving your money. living to 100.

he latest Fed Meeting Minutes are out with a bit of insight; Trump's economic policies appear to be deflationary, as consumer strength is weakening; WalMart and Costco are tempering their forward guidance in anticipation. Palantir CEO is selling LOTS of shares as the Defense Dept. is being pushed by DOGE to cut spending. Market pullbacks may offer investors' opportunity; markets continue to do well, but there's a dichotomy between weighted indexes and those with less concentration of Mag-7 stocks. Money flows are still positive, with a surge into the survivors of the SPAC craze phase: More speculative mood. And then there's the "Alien ETF..."  Can the Fed stop QT while debt ceiling is under consideration; the the Fed isn't saying about driving liquidity by pausing QT. Cane's vs KFC (we're now identifying generational preferences for fried chicken??) Is the Fed handcuffing itself with the stickiness of inflation vs rising yields? The Fed is setting its own trap with no two-way street on interest rates. Why the Fed needs to keep its mouth shut! The US dollar is the only lawful money in the United States. While some think Bitcoin can supplant the dollar, they fail to acknowledge that it has significant flaws, which we believe are critical to understanding why Bitcoin should not be lawful money. Lance and Michael discuss Bitcoin vs US Dollar, Cryptocurrency and Fiat Currency, and the concept of Bitcoin as Legal Tender, plus the future of Bitcoin and USD, and Digital Currency vs Traditional Money. Why Bitcoin will not replace the Dollar; the supply of money is important; the issue of value volatility: Bitcoin pricing is not dependable.

Markets continue to do well, clearly breaking out to new highs, but are now becoming somewhat overbought. At this point, a bit of a correction/consolidation would be no surprise. But...while the S&P is breaking out, the NASDAQ is just challenging all time highs, not quite making its own break out. Money flows are fine, however. The equal-weighted index is also lagging the S&P, and it appears we're where we were last year with weighted indexes driving markets (those equal-weighted indexes have less of the Mag-7 in them). The performance gap between the two indexes is about 10%. The same dynamic exists for the IWM/Russell 2000, with a big cap between that index and large cap stocks. While International stocks have enjoyed a huge surge since the beginning of the year,  they are still way off their previous highs in October 2024. And the same applies for Emerging Markets. While there are opportunities, be careful of the narratives.   Hosted by RIA Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO  Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Watch the video version of this podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9YgTKhf0IU&list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&index=1 ------- Get more info & commentary:  https://realinvestmentadvice.com/insights/real-investment-daily/ ------- REGISTER FOR OUR NEXT CANDID COFFEE (3/29/25) HERE: https://streamyard.com/watch/Gy68mipYram2 ------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #WeightedIndexes #Mag_7 #NASDAQ #Russell2000 #SmallCap #LargeCap #EmergingMarkets #InternationalStocks #AllTimeHighs #MarketMomentum #RelativeStrenth #PriceCompression #MACDBuySignal #InvestingTrends #InvestmentStrategies #InvestingAdvice #Money #Investing

The New York Fed Reports an improving economy, and Nvidia cues up its next quarterly report after recovering from the DeepSeek dip. The Fed is on hold, and positive money flows abound on Wall Street. There are no real indicators we're on the cusp of destruction...for now. 2026 EPS estimates are insanely optimistic. Markets pull out another all-time high on Tuesday afternoon. What is the Economy? As thousands of government workers are being invited to leave, and Chevron offers severance packages to a swath of its employees, what's the best strategy if you're offered an opportunity to retire? Take a lump-sum or annuitize the dollars? Lance Roberts and Danny Ratliff offer helpful suggestions if you're facing "permanent furlough" with severance package advice and suggestions on how to invest severance pay;  how to manage a severance package and severance pay tax strategies; and, what to do after job layoff.
