The Tax Season Will Combine With Other Factors To Weaken Stock Prices
Financial stress is increasing in the short-term. Inflation is rising year-on-year, causing concern among monetarists. Higher interest rates are positive for stocks.
Models That Are Predicting A Headwind For The Stock Market
A stable of proprietary models that track the S&P500 with a high correlation.
Look For The Money Source
Knowing and tracking where the money that drives the economy (and the stock market) comes from is the secret (even though it is an open secret).
If You Like The Dotcom Bull Market, You Are Going To Love The Next Few Years.
The conditions are in place for a new tech-driven bull market that will rival the 1990's dotcom bull market.
Like Amputating Your Toes To Fit Your Shoes
Rates are not going higher, inflation is not going to get materially worse, and for the next 6-9 months the economy will not collapse into recession as long as the current fund-flow net-transfer rate is maintained.
Ignore The Herd's Fear Of The Fed And Of Recession. Focus On The Fund-Flows
In this piece we remind readers that it is not rates or the Federal Reserve Bank that drives markets, but rather net fund-transfers from the Treasury that fee bull markets.
Fear And Loathing Of The Deficit
Fear of the government deficit is making spending on infrastructure difficult. Austerity murders economies and stock markets.
Similar To 2018

A Technical Check-Up Of The Stock Market
The S&P 500 is bouncing off the bottom of the latest fractal trading range and is setting up to hit new highs later this year. The very short-term outlook is pointing to market weakness.
A Shot Of Liquidity
No matter what the semantic arguments are (QE, not QE, reverse QT...), the hard reality is that $400B of encumbered assets were added to the Fed's books at par, and an equal amount of unencumbered money (liquidity) was released into the economy.
Liquidity Breakout And The Resart Of QE
The Fed has suddenly ended tightening and restarted easing. The increasing liquidity in the private sector and positive net-transfers from the Treasury will support the stock market. The market is not about to collapse.
Private Debt And Recession In 2023
The "herd" continues to bleat about how high debt levels will cause a recession in 2023. We disagree. Margin debt and consumer debt are referenced in this bleating. When we look at the "stock" of margin debt in isolation, we see a mountain of debt.
