Are investors overly complacent right now?

First off I hope everyone down in the US is having a great start to your July 4th long weekend!

Ed Moya joins me for a quick recap of the jobs data released yesterday and general market moves. There is still a buy the dip mentality for the markets all thanks to the easy money policies of central banks. It’s a strange environment when bad news is positive for the markets as well as good news. This ties into a discussion on complacency.

This interview was recorded late in the day yesterday.

The Fed’s Balance Sheet, Gold, and Key Dates For Next Week

Marc Chandler joins me today to comment on a wide range of key market events. We start with the shrinking of the Fed’s balance sheet last week. Seems strange that the balance sheet would shrink for a second consecutive week during these easy money times.

We then discuss the trading in gold this week and the test of key breakout levels. Finally a look ahead to next week’s shortened trading week and some key data out of the US and Europe.

Recapping the Fed statement and market selloff today

Chris Temple joins me to share his thoughts on the Fed statement and Powell’s press conference from yesterday as well as the market selloff today. While not too much new came out of the Fed statement it is abundantly clear that rates will remain low and QE is here for a long time. The selloff today is continuing and pretty much every market is being dragged down with it.

Do fundamentals even matter for investors anymore?

Over the past week we have seen some of the most beat up companies pop by over 200 or 300 or 400% on the back of bad news. Stocks like JC Penny and Chesapeake Energy who are in bankruptcy proceedings have bounced strongly. JC Penny traded up by 55% on Friday and 96% yesterday, while Chesapeake closed last Thursday at $14.05, Friday at $24.80 and yesterday at $69.9.

Joel Elconin shares his thoughts on what is driving these rebounds and if he thinks they are sustainable. We also discuss the types of investors that are driving these stocks higher as well as any long term trends he sees as being more stable.
