Market Commentary

COMMENT

Oil. Higher gas prices is a pure tax on the consumer. There has been a year or two of under investment in the area. There are calls in the shorter term for these prices to go higher. It is in OPEC's hands. Supply will come on from Iran later this year. Lots of moving parts. More gas prices go up, there will be less consumption in other areas.

COMMENT

Israel government changes. We are seeing an even more right-wing government come in. Troubling for peace in the Middle East. Geopolitics coming out of the G7 meeting is also on the radar. Can be disruptive in the bigger picture.

COMMENT

Duelling infrastructure bills in US. The build proposed by Biden is billions but over a decade. Needs bipartisan support. Without it, there will not be any substantial moves without it this year.

WAIT

Canadian financials in general. The steepening yield curve and higher profitability is already priced in probably. The yield curve has seen some flattening in the past weeks. We will still have a steep yield curve for a while. Right now, would not add exposure to the banks. Sees market volatility in the next few months. Would wait for 5-10% dips before adding new money.

COMMENT

Crypto. You can chose either Ethereum or Bitcoin. Wouldn't call it investing, it is speculating at this point. If you are looking at which tech is probably better, it would be Ethereum with its open architecture. Wouldn't recommend to investors.

COMMENT

Educational Segment. Yellen came back from G7 meetings and was able to get buy in for a global minimum tax rate. One of the narratives that Yellen put forward was to level the playing field. Raising taxes on corporations to pay for the debt is a big deal. Companies have 3 things they can do with income: invest, increase dividends, and buy backs. Buy backs exacerbates inequality as it only benefits senior executives with options and shareholders. The focus on ESG and fixing inequality will become a big part going forward. Buybacks will be seen under a new lens.

N/A

Market. The market is very good at pricing things in, and in this case inflation. The market did not react to hearing there was inflation. Anyone looking to allocate capital has to make bets a long way down the road. There are values on some value stocks that are still pretty low.

COMMENT

The U.S. market is selling industrials and bank stocks to rotate into growth stocks, as the market eyes Wednesday's US Fed meeting. He expects the US Fed Chief, Jerome Powell, will keep rates low to allow the poor to find decent jobs. Powell has been upfront about his plan, so pick up bargains. He agrees that inflation will run its course. There are senior growth (FAANG) and junior growth stocks (Twilio, Roku, Etsy, Docusign). See comments about Caterpillar.

COMMENT

Technical analyst Larry Williams sees the late-June Swoop, a modest dip to a deep dive. So, sell the S&P in mid-June then buy it back after that dip. Sell on the 8th or 9th-last trading day of the month, meaning the 18th or 21st this year. This is based on strong gains over the last 22 years. Therefore, next week the market will be ugly. He doesn't know why this is so, but he accepts it as reality.

COMMENT

Market rotation. Still going on and very natural. A broadening of the economy. As the base of vaccinated people grows across the globe, we will see sectors that had not been doing well get a boost.

COMMENT

Inflation. Central banks have not done anything positive to help with increasing housing prices. There are big concerns or no concerns depending where you stand. Those who believe the central banks will manage the excess liquidity and so are not concerned. Seeing central banks in NA taking steps to remove liquidity. We will see interest rates go up in the medium term. Those who are concerned believe the central banks are making policy errors and the record level of debt will be problematic. Inflation will not come this year.

COMMENT

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. If you zoom out two to five years, the inflation and price levels are largely in the range of historic lines. A lot of inflationary pressure is in areas that would be expected such as travel, leisure or car rental rates. The concern is if control is lost. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

COMMENT

Stocks keep edging up. Some say it's the calm before the storm, but he's learned not to short a hot market. People are buying growth vs. value. Forget Wall Street gibberish. Buy quality stocks cheaply. If we see red-hot inflation numbers, Fed Chair Powell may have to raise interest rates. We'll see if he mentions "transitory inflation" or not in Wednesday's Fed minutes. He expects Powell to stay on course and not surprise.

COMMENT

Bitcoin - calling a bottom Bitcoin has no fundamentals, no earnings, no business to analyze. This trade is based on emotions and headlines. Tech analyst Tom DeMark is looking for a bottom in Bitcoin. It peaked on April 14. He expects intraday dips below the $24,705 bottom of May 19; will trade sideways for the next 3-4 weeks, then making a new low after that. DeMark compares the market patterns of 1987 including that crash. Also, DeMark thinks the S&P will peak very soon, maybe next week.
