The Markets
Technology continues to dominate, keeping the new high engine for the S&P 500 Index running. The large-cap benchmark ended up by just over four-tenths of one percent, continuing to hold above the 20-day moving average (~6536), the variable hurdle that has supported the short-term trend off of the April lows. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has pushed into overbought territory above 70, threatening to exhaust buying pressures in the short-term. The weakest, most volatile, period for the equity market is upon us, running through the last couple of weeks of the month (the first half of September is normally positive), leaving us with a cautious bias pertaining to broad equity exposure in the very near-term. The strategy remains to avoid being aggressive in risk (stocks) for now (over the next couple of weeks), but take advantage of any volatility shocks (should they materialize) to increase the risk profile of portfolios ahead of the best six months of the year for stocks that gets underway in October. We have picked our spots in the market to which we want to be exposed (including various technology subsectors) in our list of candidates in the market that are worthy to Accumulate or Avoid and the performance continues to be exceptional. Those themes that are enduring according to our three-pronged approach incorporating seasonal, technical, and fundamental analysis keeps us focused and we are not concerned, at all, if the broad market weakness that is normal of September fails to materialize.
