12:00 TUESDAY – Stock Market Report #118 – 6/8/21

by Robert Holman | The Defensive Advisor | www.defensiveadvisor.com

INSIDE: Current market rating, the economy, stock selection, and a free offer.

MARKET RATING … My rating opinion is more cautious than earlier this year, now at 6.5 (where 0 - 4 is bearish, 5 is neutral, 6 - 10 is bullish) due to expected future valuation decreases (see below). As indicated by this report in mid-March, the market shifted to sideways moves and sideways-up moves.

THE ECONOMY … Primary worries remain inflation and interest rates – the worry about inflation seems to be diminishing somewhat, and for now, the market seems to think inflation is under control. However, significant increases in either of these are highly likely to draw an immediate response by investors, in the form of reduced stock prices.

STOCKS … Picking stocks that will perform strongly in this environment is challenging, yet good still opportunities exist. Selection and timing are very important. Gains will likely be coming slower than in the immediate post-Covid environment.
