Sector correction is not over; more econs are a’comin: CPI, Factory orders, Durable goods, and Consumer sentiment as oil pricing churns by weeks of conflict

Remember, the Nasdaq is highly sensitive to changes in certainty, corresponding sentiment as investors should expect a miserable outcome to the Iran conflict

Pre-open signals: watch the flow and act accordingly – I say HOLD

Never leave retail investor uninformed … I say what others won’t, so you can KNOW what others can’t!

 

Say/write less, mean more …

RMi Closing Bell: Hope is not a strategy or course of action; can the Iran ceasefire be sustained? … https://www.regmedinvestors.com/articles/14377   

I chose to speak-up when many analysts, brokers and commentators have shut-up!

 

Remember that overnight action in futures don't necessarily translate into actual trading in today’s regular stock market session.

  • U.S. stock futures are flipping negative on Friday, 4/10
  • European equities and bourses inched higher
  • Asia Pacific markets mostly rose

 

Economic Data: It’s still all about oil pricing and CPI and its cores, Durable goods, Factory orders, and Consumer sentiment

  • Economists see a month over month increase of 0.9% and a 3.3% gain over the prior 12 months.

Companies in my headlights – It’s your decision; I provide ideas and context

I post about “indication intelligence” looking toward investment conferences … to assist investors with insight into sector vulnerabilities and strengths.  A dictionary definition of “indicate” refers to something less than a certainty; an indication could be a signal of being oversold or overbought, a recommendation, or grounds for inferring or a basis for believing.

Let ‘em ride

 

The BOTTOM LINE: Welcome to my world of defining the “grey’ in our universe!

One word – temporary … don’t trust … verify

  • Stocks advanced on Thursday, extending their gains this week after President Trump agreed to pause attacks on Iran for 2 weeks.

Tradable market bottoms are met with widespread skepticism, I believe as uncertainty STILL solidifies a wall of worry.

 

Welcome to my world of defining the “grey’ in our universe!

  • I hate to be so negative or contrarian but, this is a NO spin zone and facts and truth are its products; I can always be WRONG but, I am mostly EARLY!
  • if I wanted to be liked, I wouldn’t have been an analyst/journalist.

As the leading voice of cell and gene therapy investors; I am NOT always a doom and gloom analyst/journalist but a man who has been “there” (BUY, SELL, VC and multiple operating roles) with the gray hair and a readership following with real numbers to prove it!

  • I am more frequently right than consequentially wrong; if I wanted to be liked, I wouldn’t have been an analyst/journalist.
