TWELVE o'clock TUESDAY – Stock Market Report

by Robert Holman | The DefensiveAdvisor.com | August 18, 2020

Bullish … rating of 6 (0 - 4 is bearish, 5 is neutral, 6 - 10 is bullish). Still cautious.

Coronavirus statistics are declining, and the Presidential election is moving to center stage.

The market, as measured by the S&P 500, is fully recovered past its prior high and is up 4.7%, but the Dow is about <2.4%> behind. Our moderate-risk portfolios are up more than 33%. Two stocks are at all-time highs, and one is nearing its all-time high.

Gold is moving up nicely off its lows. It will most probably have a significant price increase from here if recent US debt increases are monetized. However, it will have only a modest price increase from here if the US debt is not monetized, but is instead sold in an effort to nudge interest rates up marginally as the economy improves.
