Down days for the markets. Right now s p down by about 11, dow by 96, nasdaq off by about 47 we were so close to you dow 30,000 earlier in the week, but that seems to be slipping away a little bit 29,400 and change is where the dow is right now and again, down two days in a row, down again this morning and after yesterdays declines, all three of the major averages are in negative territory for the week a lot of things happening with covid and well talk more about that in a moment, but some of those concerns creeping back into what you see in the markets. If you are looking at the treasury market, the yield on the ten year right now is sitting just at about 0. 852 and the vix also spiking yesterday, probably a little bit on concerns about what happens as we go back into some of the lockdowns. The seesaw of good and bad news on covid. And well give you a bit of good news that happened overnight in the vaccine wars developed by the university of oxford and astrazeneca found to be safe. An
Ask yourselves now that nearly all the big tech outfits reported and a day the market rebounded from its lows. S p jumping 1. 19 and the nasdaq surging 1. 69 . All right. It didnt make back everything it lost, but like i said, nobody ever made any money panicking. If you panicked yesterday, always a better time there is a whole network of smart, rigorous Money Managers who believe apple, amazon have become ridiculously expectative. Downright danger to zone they dont welcome the possibility that these could be worth trillions of dollars im not kidding, every day same goes for their compadres netflix and microsoft. There are tons of stocks in this market way too expensive by any traditional valuation metrics. However, that does not include facebook, apple, amazon, maybe alphabet say nothing of microsoft only netflix is one that i think is a bit of an outlier this is 2020, not 2000 that being the dotcom boom with the exception of amazon and netflix, all of these big tech stocks are valued
The nasdaq up 1 and s p 2. 7 and dow declined 86 points were about to get a set of u e unbelievably set of big numbers but frankly, its horrifying if you think about why they are thriving this week we hear from walmart, from home depot, lowes, and target and if their stocks get hit for any reason, you have to buy them because these major operators are up against general merchandisers, hardware stores, Sporting Goods and lumberyards that cant compete because they were deemed essential and i fear they will never get lost customers back, not with prices big guys charge. The winner haves so many advantages over the little guy im amazed there is any competition whatsoever i feared that there wont be and thats driving me nuts i love when these big household names go higher, but i hate when the reasons they are going higher their Small Business competitors are being wiped out. A lot of these smaller outfits have been able to hold their own before covid, but now the big guys have crafted pheno
Yesterday carl was a discouraging day for a lot of people who have been chasing momentum because last week was maybe one of the best momentum weeks i can recall since 1999, which meant that if you bought it went higher and how much fun is that . Yesterday was the day that you bought it went higher and then you got crushed. So i think that usually takes a couple days of reset where maybe you can after stocks that arent as hot, say, as tesla. So you would focus, say, on Something Like the banks ive been through the banks and i know dave and i talk about this all the time, they are incredibly complex beasts, they are not like, oh, tesla, hot and when i first went over them i thought they looked pretty good but already theyre reversing. This is not an uncommon pattern as people find one line or two line that they dont like and then they sell these stocks. David, its happening once again. You know that these banks could have had littered with bad loans, its not, they have great trading, the
You cant when the nasdaq is running like this. A 7 gain in index, you almost have to realize everybodys price target has to come up. Its baffling and confusing people who are not in the stock market but making a lot of sense to professionals who realize oh, my, god to chase. Yeah. Banks will get jp morgan tomorrow theres a lot of discussion about the commentary will matter more but also the idea that because of where estimates are, you could see some upsize to prizes another upside out of bsf. Jp morgan, the whole group is insane Goldman Sachs goes from 190 to almost 210 its almost as if people said, find me something that is not crazed my issue will be loan losses and possibly dividends and i think a lot of the chatter i listened to wilf this morning but a lot of the chatter is if people are getting more stimulus and money is being pumped in, why should these Companies Pay their dividends . I personally think theres no problem but that wells fargo dividend news shook people up. Hey, c
