Strong Technical Trend in Stock Likely to Continue


The weekend just got away from me once again so I apologize for my tardiness in publishing this week’s letter.  Instead of writing another diatribe on why I think the economy remains strong I thought it might be more instructive to share a link to a video about how strong the technical trend in stocks are.
The video is from Chris Ciovacco on You Tube.  He is completely unbiased and always focuses on the probabilities of what could happen.  He keeps it very simple but the message in this week’s video is particularly poingiant.  This is one of my resources that help me keep a pulse on the probably direction of the trend in stocks.  Enjoy!

U.S. GDP Growing Strong

by Mark Bern, CFA Estimates Rising The range of forecasts for Q2 (quarter 2) GDP growth is huge.   The lowest forecast found by the Wall Street Journal Quarterly Forecasting Survey this June was 2.9% and the highest was 4.2%, with the average at 3.58%.   But forecasts have moved higher recently because of a shrinking trade deficit and higher than expected consumer spending.   As of June 27 th, Macroeconomic Advisors, said to be provide the most detailed forecast on Wall Street, predicted an increase of 5.3%.   GDPNow, provided by the Atlanta FED, is predicting 4.5% and the NY FED’s NowCast is calling for only 2.9% growth.   Q3 and Q4 forecasts range broadly by the averages were about 3.05% and 2.9%, respectively.   These forecasts are likely to be raised as well.   But if those older predictions turn out to be close and the more modest rate of 3.6% for Q2 becomes reality the average for the full year will be about 2.94%, which would be the...
