by Robert Holman | The Defensive Advisor | February 9, 2021 MARKET BULLISH … Rating of 8 (0 - 4 is bearish, 5 is neutral, 6 - 10 is bullish). I’m going to 8 because these times are so unlike any other. The US Money Supply has increased so aggressively, and household savings have increased so dramatically, that it’s just amazing. Add-in the effects of several fiscal stimulus packages, and everything looks wonderful. The market is rallying so strongly, nearly every group is

by Robert Holman | The Defensive Advisor | February 2, 2021 MARKET BULLISH … Rating of 7.0 (0 - 4 is bearish, 5 is neutral, 6 - 10 is bullish). I’ve gone back to 7.0 because my concern over broker-dealer financial problems has diminished. It’s likely that the whole short-selling issue is beginning to resolve itself. What a difference a day makes. The market is up 600 points as of this writing. In the last two days, the market has recovered most of the territory lost in the se

by Robert Holman | The Defensive Advisor | January 27, 2021 MARKET BULLISH … Rating of 6 (0 - 4 is bearish, 5 is neutral, 6 - 10 is bullish). My biggest investor concern is a new one - speculation (covering and buying) on marginal stocks, those previously with a high level of short selling. That is the only reason why I’ve backed down one notch on the market rating. I was unable to publish on Tuesday, and yesterday was too volatile, as the price action was a “first” of its ki

12:00 TUESDAY – Stock Market Report
by Robert Holman | The Defensive Advisor | January 19, 2021 MARKET BULLISH … Rating of 7 (0 - 4 is bearish, 5 is neutral, 6 - 10 is bullish). My two biggest concerns are rising interest rates (10-yr T-Note) and asset class inversion (value stocks leading growth stocks) but the markets seem to be overlooking them, for the most part. The market is basically moving sideways-up. Value stocks are still outperforming growth stocks. Nothing else to say today. FOR NEW CLIENTS – If y
