Smart Money Or Dumb Investors Chasing Yields

Smart Money Or Dumb Investors Chasing Yields

Investors’ headlong rush into high-yielding stock funds has prompted Vanguard Group to close a popular dividend fund from accepting new cash. The Pennsylvania-based fund giant announced on Thursday that the $30.6 billion Vanguard Dividend Growth Fund (VDIGX) will no longer accept money from new. Full Story

The 1^st move towards the feeding frenzy stage is the desperate search for higher yields. We are going to reach a point where 5% a year will be viewed as great return by those who cling on to the past.  10% might resist until the end, but they will be beaten so badly that they will not know whether it is day or night. The other 90% will embrace the concept that the Fed is silently pushing “speculate or scorch”. Resistance is utterly futile at this point in the game only because the resistance is being mounted in the wrong manner.

Smart Money Should Not Chase Yields

You never fight a trend in motion no matter how smart you think you are. Hence, Gold bugs have a very good strategy they could put into play while embracing the Fed’s new game plan of inflating to infinity.  They can take paper and turn into more paper and then use this paper to buy the Gold they love at a discount.  For example, you take  5K to invest in stock X; stock X rises 30%.

You can then take the 30% gain and buy some Gold. Net result, you bought this gold for free. The Fed is slowly gearing up to move to the stage where they will start to buy everything to maintain the illusion that all is well. For now, the Fight has been restricted to the major indices, but soon it will move to liquid large-cap stocks, then to mid-caps and then finally to small caps; the idea is to maintain the illusion all is well.

By the way, it costs them nothing to do this; if they need a trillion, they just create it. So you need to understand that Fiat is stronger than nuclear weapons. It takes the time to make an atomic bomb, it takes second to create Fiat but the power Fiat has is 100 times stronger than the strongest nuclear weapon out there and so is the damage Fiat can cause and is causing.

Smart Money Investors Never Allow Their Emotions To Do The Talking

Do not get emotional over these things; once emotions rule, you are no longer in charge.  Negative interest rates are going to create massive market distortions and before this market crashes and burns we should witness one if not two moves over 3500 points; one downward move could even surpass 5000 points on the Dow. However, each one will most likely prove to be an incredible buying opportunity.  The Crowd has to turn insane; they need to love this bull market just as much as they hate it now, and it will take quite some work to get this crowd there, meaning that Dow 30K might be a possibility. However, don’t focus on this target as we are a long way from it.

Taking an educated guess based on the current pattern and V readings (both of which will change, we are sure the V-indicator will be trading at a much higher level) a move to the 21,000-21,500 should lead to a pullback of 3,500 points or move.

Tactical Investor Stock Market Update July 2019

This bull market is unlike any other; before 2009, one could have relied on extensive technical studies to more or less call the top of a market give or take a few months; after 2009, the game plan changed and 99% of these traders/experts failed to factor this into the equation. Technical analysis as a standalone tool would not work as well as did before 2009 and in many cases would lead to a faulty conclusion. Long story short, there are still too many people pessimistic (experts, your average Joes and everything in between) and until they start to embrace this market, most pullbacks ranging from mild to wild will falsely be mistaken for the big one.

In terms of the stock market, until the Fed changes its mind, all sharp corrections have to be viewed as buying opportunities, and backbreaking corrections have to be placed in the category of “once in a lifetime events”, provided of course the trend is positive. That is what we are here for; to inform you if the trend is positive (Up) or negative (down).

The world is going to witness a Fed that has decided to make a cocktail of Coke, Heroin, Crack and Meth and take it all in one shot. Imagine what a junkie on this combination of potent drugs is capable of doing, and you will have an idea of where the Fed is heading in the years to come.  Market Update Feb 28, 2019
