12:00 TUESDAY – Stock Market Report #197 – 2/28/23

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

STOCK MARKET RATING … 6.0 (0-4 bearish, 5 neutral, 6-10 bullish. The market seems to be in a holding pattern, waiting for more news on inflation and interest rates.


Nothing new to say this week. Many investors are waiting on upcoming significant economic data to be released over the next two weeks before making new buy commitments. These include:

· CPI on March 14

· Employment data on March 10

· Fed Reserve meeting notes on March 8

· Retail Sales March 15


Investors should expect daily volatility for a while – volatility that may produce little overall net change in the market. I’m nearly fully invested in most accounts, investing previously unallocated funds in broad-based, dividend-paying ETFs in preference to individual stocks. I believe the CPI data will moderate (or cool-down) from last months somewhat hot number.

Excelsior Divitiae. Learn from the Bible: Proverbs 15:22, 21:5, 22:3 and 27:12, Ecclesiastes 8:7, Joshua 1:9, Proverbs 3:5-6, Ephesians 1:17, 1Chronicles 29:11-13, and 1 Chronicles 12:32. I recommend you read them in this order.
