Is the Sell-off Over?

(12/1/21) Is the sell-off over--and is it time to buy stocks? After Jerome Powell mentioned retiring the word, "transitory," and speeding the rate of taper, stocks took a dive. We said this would happen, prior to a Santa Claus rally at the end of the year. Buying stocks could be a good idea...but: When should you do so, and how? First, watch the bearish trends, testing the downtrend channel. We're looking for strong support at the 50-DMA. Money Flow buy-signals are also very flat, and close to turning positive. However--Money Flows did turn negative on Tuesday for the first time since September/October...and the over-bought/over-sold indicators are at very low levels...all suggesting we're near the end of the selling pressure. So, how to add money to portfolios? Be aware of continued selling pressure as mutual funds rebalance, and note the continued negative divergence of market breadth from the market. It's better to buy a stock on the way back up than to bottom fish a stock on the way down. Also, consider Bonds, which are still providing a safe off rotation against risk in portfolios, especially as the Fed begins to taper. - Hosted by RIA Advisors Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts -------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/news... -------- Watch the video version of this report by subscribing to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KllVV-9n8g4&list=PLVT8LcWPeAujOhIFDH3jRhuLDpscQaq16&index=1 -------- Register for our next Lunch & Learn: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/9616369301708/WN_X_zZBPQCQX2VnVXJlvUE5g -------- Visit our Site: www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to RIA Pro: https://riapro.net/home -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestme... https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinves... #MarketSellOff #FedTaper #TransitoryInflation #JeromePowell #Stocks #Bonds #Markets #Money #Investing
