STRONG JOBS DATA PUTS THE FED AND MOMO CROWD IN A BOX

To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.

Fed In A Box

Please click here for a chart of  Nasdaq 100 ETF ().

Note the following:

  • July Non-farm Private Payrolls came at 703K vs. 650K consensus.
  • July Non-farm Payrolls came at 943K vs. 845K consensus.
  • July average hourly earnings came at 0.4% vs. 0.3% consensus.
  • July unemployment rate came at 5.4% vs. 5.6% consensus.
  • The chart shows when the jobs data was released.
  • The chart shows an immediate drop in .
  • The VUD indicator is the most sensitive measure of net supply demand in real-time. The orange represents net supply and the green represents net demand.
  • The VUD indicator is orange but the magnitude is very low.  This indicates that there is not a huge net supply of stocks.
  • The Fed has been maintaining its policy of printing $120 billion per month in spite of strong economic data.
  • This strong jobs report will put the Fed in a box and may force its hand to start tapering.
  • The momo crowd is oblivious but the real reason that some momo strategies have worked is the money printing by the Fed.  If the Fed starts tapering, it will become progressively more difficult for the momo crowd.

The Most Powerful Senator

Some believe that Joe Manchin is the most powerful Senator.  The reason is that Democrats need Manchin’s vote to do anything.

In an era when politicians are all about reckless heavy borrowing without any thought of how it will negatively impact the United States in the long run – when the most powerful Democrat Senator starts becoming concerned about the Fed policy, you should take notice.

“With the recession over and our strong economic recovery well underway, I am increasingly alarmed that the Fed continues to inject record amounts of stimulus into our economy,” Manchin wrote to Fed Chair Powell. Investors should take notice.

Protection Bands and What To Do Now?

It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.

Consider continuing to hold existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider holding 🔒 in cash or treasury bills or short-term bond funds or allocated to short-term tactical trades, and short to medium-term hedges of🔒, and short term hedges of 🔒. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.

You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.  The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.  If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.

It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.  When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.  High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.

MOMO BUYING AHEAD OF MOTHER OF ALL NUMBERS

To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.

Antidote To FOMO

Please click here for a chart of Fastly ().

Note the following:

  • The Morning Capsule is about the big picture and not about individual stocks or ETFs. The chart of FLSY is being used to illustrate the point.
  • We get a large number of emails from private investors and money managers alike asking how to avoid FOMO (fear of missing out).
  •  has been a perpetual favorite of the momo crowd.
  • Over a period of time, FSLY has been among the top momo stocks that investors have questioned as to why it was not in the Model Portfolio.
  • Momo usually buys FSLY ahead of earnings hoping for good earnings.  Earnings often disappoint and the stock sells off. Then momo runs it up again because it has become a good bargain.  In the process, the stock is down from $136.50 to $34.85 in the premarket as of this writing.
  • Take a close look at the FSLY chart.  This should serve as an antidote to FOMO.

Mother Of All Numbers

The jobs report will be released tomorrow at 8:30 am ET. It is known as the mother of all numbers because of its market-moving potential. There is significant uncertainty about the numbers to be released tomorrow.  To prudent investors, it is a risk event and they reduce the risk ahead of the event.  To the momo crowd, it is an opportunity to buy before the risk event because to them all risk events resolve to the upside. This has been a consistent momo pattern since March 23, 2020.

Jobless Claims

Initial Claims came at 385K vs. 375K consensus.

MOMO BUYING STOCKS ON A BREAKOUT IN THIS LEADING SECTOR BUT YOU SHOULD IGNORE IT, ‘SPIRITUAL OPIUM’

To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.

  • The momo crowd is getting more excited from the bullish proclamations and aggressively buying.
  • We always encourage investors to dig deeper.  When you dig deeper, you will find that the breakout in  is not because there is high tide for semiconductors but is only one component of the ETF – it is  with a strong up move.  For this reason, at least temporarily, investors should ignore this bullish signal.  Investors should watch other components of the ETF to see if they start breaking out.
  • Also, note from the chart that the breakout is on low volume.  This indicates a lack of conviction.
  • The chart also shows that the breakout is running into selling as evident by the red candle.

‘Spiritual Opium’

The Chinese government continues its mission to reform Chinese society.  In the latest move, video games were branded ‘spiritual opium.’  Important video game stocks such as , and  are plunging.  After watching the stocks plunge, there is a walk back with a much softer tone.
