I welcome Chris Vermeulen, the founder of The Technical Traders, back to the show. Chris strictly follows price action and provides his thoughts on the SPY: he believes we are in a stage three topping pattern, which likely portends a further market decline.

It has been a long time since we witnessed a broad stage four decline, so people have forgotten what this could entail: a twenty to forty percent drop. He uses the SPY as an indicator of the trend much of the market is experiencing. When a bear market arrives, people are oftentimes scared and forced to liquidate positions; everything falls – including oil and precious metals. Though, they tend to recover quickly once a bottom is reached, potentially by the end of the year. Chris explains the pitfalls and risks people should be aware of if they intend to stay invested during a bear market, which can take a long time to fully recover from. His method of counteracting this is utilizing inverse ETFs during declines, helping individuals maximize profits when the bull phase resumes. He and his firm make few trades and only utilize the most liquid ETFs. He terms coin re-vesting as reinvesting into the next best asset classes.

We typically see bearish trends in the fall, with much market movement in the last quarter; a good opportunity for investors. Assets remain overvalued and thus would benefit from a correction. Unfortunately, many people get caught on the wrong side of these markets, so it is essential to protect your capital.
