12:00 TUESDAY – Weekly Stock Market Report #223 – 10/31/23
by Robert Holman | www.DefensiveAdvisor.com
STOCK MARKET RATING (THE BIG PICTURE) … 5.0 (1-4 bearish, 5 neutral, 6-9 bullish). No change.
Wow, the markets had a big day on Monday. The major indices were up 1.2% or more. Yet it really was no big deal – the market just recovered losses from the weeks before. And so it goes.
Gold, Bitcoin, and Ethereum continue to make new highs for the last 12-month period. The Fed may pause interest rate increases this week for the second time in the past 12 months. It’s too soon to tell if they will resume rate increases again in six weeks, which I think is more likely than most perceive it.
Not much else to say. The market continues its downward course. We added positions within the last several weeks that are working very well in this environment.
PORTFOLIOS… After reading this report, if you are unsure how to position your portfolio to take advantage of these conditions, call me to discuss your circumstances. If you would like, I’ll do a complimentary portfolio evaluation, and I’ll explain what ought to be done to improve your situation.
