i know from reading your notes
[2]
that the technicals do not look great
[4]
right now just how bad do they look in
[7]
the near term
[8]
well brian everybody's trying to put
[10]
into the perspective is this a bottom or
[12]
is this just a bounce and i think the
[14]
answer is this is just a bounce there's
[16]
just not enough technical evidence yet
[18]
to say that a true bottom has been set
[21]
and when you go through and you just
[22]
simply look at the charts look at all of
[24]
the microsoft's look at apple look at
[27]
adobe look at all these large cap names
[29]
they're all in very easily definable
[31]
downtrends at this point in time brian
[33]
so
[34]
as i look at this market i look at the
[36]
setup it looks like you got another
[38]
seven to ten percent downside we've been
[40]
kind of honing in on around this 3 500
[43]
level brian on the s p 500 as where we
[46]
will likely find some support and
[48]
perhaps at that point in time we can
[50]
find our footing but right now the fed
[53]
is not our friend and interest rates are
[55]
certainly not our friend either at this
[56]
point in time and the fed is clearly
[58]
going to keep raising rates to try to
[61]
push down inflationary pressures which
[63]
means likely more pain for equities
[67]
well we've had these gut wrenching days
[69]
craig where you get you know thirty to 1
[71]
downside volume to upside the vix pops
[74]
20
[75]
you know you've got no stocks on the
[76]
nasdaq 100 that are higher we've had a
[79]
couple of those days and yet the market
[82]
still has not found a bottom what are
[83]
you looking for is that i know there's
[85]
not
[86]
some big flag hey market bottom here
[89]
but is there one thing over something
[91]
else that you're watching for craig
[94]
don't say yeah for stocks to stop going
[96]
down i know that
[99]
brian you mean nobody rings a bell at
[101]
the bottom here i mean that's uh
[103]
shocking right no what in all
[105]
seriousness what we're looking for is
[107]
we've got some indicators we're looking
[109]
at in terms of market breadth those
[111]
market breadth indicators brian have
[112]
gotten to levels that have been
[114]
commensurate with prior major downturns
[117]
you and i have talked near the lows in
[119]
2020 2018 um in those periods and even
[123]
in 2007-89 those indicators are getting
[126]
to those levels but i'll just say this
[129]
brian it's only been the first week that
[131]
we've gotten to those levels and this
[133]
washed out breath indicators that we
[134]
look at typically will be anywhere
[136]
between six to ten weeks in this sort of
[139]
washed out state we're week one so again
[141]
i think it's going to take more time but
[143]
i want to see that breath measure wash
[145]
out i then want to see a little bit of
[147]
an improvement an expansion in that and
[149]
that'll be sort of for me the indication
[152]
i'll be looking for to step in and get
[154]
what i could define as a tradable bottom
[157]
not maybe the bottom
[161]
but here's maybe the big headline is
[163]
that you are sticking by your
[165]
end-of-year price objective
[167]
of 47.75 i believe it is craig i mean
[170]
that's bold that's big
[172]
that is big and that's about 26 27
[175]
upside from where we are now and
[177]
certainly we've gotten a lot of pushback
[179]
from investors as to why we're sticking
[181]
with this and the answer is really
[183]
history so when you go back and you look
[185]
at these weak first halfs like you have
[187]
discussed um there are indications from
[190]
june to december you can get a 20 plus
[194]
percent uh advance from here into year
[197]
end if the breadth of the market starts
[198]
to improve when we look at our our
[201]
indicators that measure that market
[202]
breath brian when we've gotten to these
[204]
levels we see this breath expansion that
[206]
happens i often think about it as
[209]
sitting on a beach ball inside of a pool
[211]
and watching that breath expand very
[212]
quickly we can get 20 30 advances in a
[216]
26 week period of time it has happened
[219]
and that's exactly what i think will
[221]
likely happen again once the fed comes
[223]
back and says
[224]
we've sort of accomplished our goals
[226]
inflationary pressures have come down i
[228]
think the market will respond very
[230]
quickly
[232]
but that's it right that's we've got to
[234]
history says along with the charts we
[237]
have got to have the fed
[239]
pivot we've got to have the fed change
[241]
their tune
[242]
maybe at the jackson hole conference in
[244]
august some are suggesting right
[247]
absolutely it could be that and then
[248]
don't forget about midterm elections
[250]
coming it could certainly uh boost
[252]
investor confidence
