Of course, bubbles can last a lot longer and run much deeper than anyone anticipates and hence our focus on risk control to both leverage the upside while reducing drawdowns.
The highlights of this week's market action are the following:
- Risk gauges remained green across the board, but underneath the hood there was some signs of weakness
- Small Caps (IWM or Grandpa Russell) improved its TSI (TREND STRENGTH INDICATOR) leadership over the other US equity benchmarks, up over +2% for the week
- Volume patterns show a neutral reading and digestion of the recent rally
- Value stocks are holding their recent breakout verses the S&P 500
- US long bonds rallied, leaving high yield corporates in the dust (a negative for US equities)
- Gold needs to hold recent lows as well as current levels relative to the SPY to stay in a positive mode
- Commodity sensitive Emerging Markets led by Latin America continues to perform well and looks ready for more
