The S&P 500 Number To Watch Near Term For Clues

By Kurt Osterberg · On April 12, 2018

On Tuesday, Rodney talked to his Triple Play Strategy subscribers about the extreme volatility we’re experiencing in the markets. He asked the question: “So, how are you feeling?” as he observed that investors are looking increasingly tired from the extreme drops and bounces we’ve endured the least few weeks. He concluded that the situation isn’t looking good and he’s admittedly turned bearish.

I may be with Rodney on that.

Never mind that the economy and debt and financial asset bubbles need to deflate if we’re ever to grow again. Right now, the bears are putting up a fight for dominance. But the short-term fluctuations seem to be favoring the upside a bit for now.

I wrote to our Boom & Bust subscribers on March 12, showing them the two scenarios we could see in the stock market before the inevitable greatest crash of our lifetimes. And last Wednesday I sent you a midday market update.

Well, we keep testing the bottom trend-lines of the final “orgasmic” rally, but have yet to see anything more than a few minor, brief breaches. Like Rodney said yesterday, it’s exhausting.

In my mind, those breaches suggest we could see a strong break to the downside. It could even get as bad or as violent as the sudden 1987 crash. If that happens, as my research suggests, the first drop could be at least 30%… and may even extend to 50%… in a matter of months.

The big question on everyone’s mind is: when?

In the last 12 trading days, stocks have been up or down as much as 500 to 700 points on the Dow (something that happened just before the sudden two-week crash in the Dow in 1987!).

And yes, the stock market is way overvalued due to Quantitative Easing and zero-interest-rate policies since early 2009, so it won’t take much to upturn the apple cart (ahem… trade war with China… or disappointing job and economic growth numbers ahead, despite projections to the upside…)
