About this episode
(2/1/22) January's brutal 9% market losses have been trimmed dramatically by market rallies the past few days, and futures are positive as portfolio managers position for February business. Buy signals have been triggered across the board, suggesting that the rally has room to roam yet again. The issue is where to allocate money now. There's a thesis that inflation might not be as bad, and the Fed might not raise rates as aggressively as first thought--something that will bode well for technology and growth stocks. Small Caps, more sensitive to growth, but still to underperform the large caps. Mid Caps are mirroring Small Caps, and are susceptible to slow growth impacting their ability to do business. International stocks have been underperformers for the past decade...they just didn't decline as much as the S&P. Emerging Markets have been under pressure--watch the Dollar and its effect on these stocks. Slower rates of inflation, slower growth rates, and a stronger dollar are not good omens for Emerging Markets. The Volatility spike is quickly evaporating, suggesting the risk-on trade is back in play. Looks like we have seen the bottom, at least for the next few months. - Hosted by RIA Advisors Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts -------- Articles mentioned in this report: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/hard-assets-are-they-a-trap-in-the-making/ -------- 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=2_vf2fP70jY&list=PLVT8LcWPeAujOhIFDH3jRhuLDpscQaq16&index=1 -------- 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... #SP500 #MarketRally #BuySignal #PortfolioRebalancing #50_DMA #20_DMA #Markets #Money #Investing
