AVOID THE MISTAKE COUNTLESS INVESTORS AND ADVISORS ARE MAKING, ORAL WEIGHT LOSS DRUG IS ALMOST HERE

Apr 17, 2025

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

Avoid The Common Investment Mistake

Please click here for a chart of 20+ year Treasury bond ETF (TLT).

Note the following:

  • Countless investors and investment advisors are losing significant money because they are stuck in the orthodox thinking that long bonds are a safe haven.  
  • The chart shows when TLT broke above zone 2 (resistance), there was aggressive buying in bonds, often considered a safe haven.
  • The chart shows bonds fell the next day below zone 2.
  • The chart shows bonds proceeded to fall through zone 3 (support) to the top band of zone 4 (support).
  • The chart shows bonds have bounced back into zone 3 (resistance).
  • RSI on the chart shows TLT is oversold. This contributed to the bounce.
  • The chart shows there is an RSI divergence.  This indicates that TLT may fall again.
  • When the stock market recently began experiencing turbulence, countless investors and investment advisors rushed to buy long bonds.  The reason is that they are stuck in academic and Wall Street orthodoxy that long bonds are a safe haven.  The result of investors and investment advisors not being able to break out of the orthodox thinking is that they lost significant money on a so-called safe haven.  The foregoing is clearly proven from the chart.
  • The chart shows when the Fed made an aggressive 50 bps rate cut last year.
  • The chart shows that TLT also broke out above the top band of zone 1 (resistance).  At that time, believing that long bonds would go higher, countless investors and investment advisors bought long bonds.
  • The chart shows the contrary Arora call at that time that bonds will fall.  The chart shows that the Arora call has proven spot on, and investors who bought long bonds on the Fed’s aggressive rate cut have experienced significant losses.  
  • Not shown on the chart is another Arora contrary call that bonds would fall in 2022.  That call was made at a time when investors and investment advisors were rushing to buy long bonds as a safe haven.  In 2022, long bonds fell 31.24%, producing large losses for investors who were stuck in orthodox thinking.  
  • The record is crystal clear.  Investors who have followed The Arora Report’s proprietary Protection Band instead of following Wall Street’s traditional 60/40 portfolio have done tremendously better.  
  • Recognizing that many investors and investment advisors are not able to break out of the orthodox thinking, in every Morning Capsule, The Arora Report publishes a section titled “Traditional 60/40 Portfolio.”  Investors and investment advisors who have followed the dynamic recommendation embodied in the “Traditional 60/40 Portfolio” section in the Morning Capsules have also done tremendously better than typical Wall Street recommendations, but nowhere near as well as those who follow The Arora Report’s Protection Band.  
  • Initial jobless claims came at 215K vs. 225K consensus.
  • In yesterday’s Interim Capsule, we shared with you in Interim Capsule:

The big news today is that Fed Chair Powell was asked if there was a Fed put at the Chicago Economic Club. Powell replied, “No.”

Now that the market has discovered there is no Fed put, stocks are being sold.

  • As a member of The Arora Report, you prepared for Powell’s statement as we have been writing there is no Fed put.  However, the market believed there was a Fed put.  Powell’s statement goes against the market forecast.
  • President Trump blasted Powell in a post after Powell saying there is no Fed put.  President Trump wrote, “The ECB is expected to cut interest rates for the 7th time, and yet, ‘Too Late’ Jerome Powell of the Fed, who is always TOO LATE AND WRONG, yesterday issued a report which was another, and typical, complete ‘mess!’”
  • Powell has clearly angered President Trump.  President Trump also posted, “Powell’s termination cannot come fast enough!”
  • As a heads up, if President Trump fires Powell, the Arora Protection Band will likely be significantly raised.  
  • News about trade negotiations is very important for the markets.  Here are the three pieces of news to focus on.
    • President Trump met with Japanese trade representatives and made good progress.
    • President Trump had a productive call with the President of Mexico.
    • Today, President Trump is meeting with Italy.
  • Among earnings, the following are noteworthy:
    • The largest home builder D.R. Horton (DHI) reported below consensus and is guiding below consensus.
    • The largest health insurer UnitedHealth Group (UNH) reported earnings below consensus and guided below consensus.  UnitedHealth results highlight rising medical costs.
    • The largest semiconductor foundry Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSM) reported above consensus and is guiding above consensus.
  • Eli Lilly (LLY) reported Phase III data for orforglipron, an oral weight loss drug.  The weight loss is comparable to Wegovy and inline with Wall Street’s expectations of 5% – 6% weight loss.  The pill is also highly effective for diabetes.  Effective, injectable weight loss drugs have been very popular.  The stock market has been waiting for an effective weight loss pill.  Eli Lilly’s results show that a weight loss pill is almost here.  LLY stock is jumping 13% in the premarket.  LLY stock is trading at $829.12 as of this writing in the premarket.  LLY is in the ZYX Buy Core Model Portfolio, long from $318.45.  This represents a gain of 160%.  There is also a signal in ZYX Short for short selling Eli Lilly competitor Novo Nordisk (NVO).
  • As an actionable item, the sum total of the foregoing is in the Arora Protection Band, which strikes the optimum balance between various crosscurrents.   Please scroll down to see the Arora Protection Band. The Arora Protection Band is one of the large number of unique edges that are available to members of The Arora Report.

Protection Band And What To Do Now

It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.  The proprietary Arora Protection Band from The Arora Report is very popular.  The Arora Protection Band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.

Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider holding 21% – 31% in cash, Treasury bills, short term fixed income, or allocated to short-term tactical trades; and short to medium-term hedges of 1% – 3%, and short term hedges of 0%. 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.

A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.  A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.

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.

Traditional 60/40 Portfolio

Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.

Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.  Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.

 

NEGATIVITY FROM CHINA RESTRICTIONS ON NVIDIA AND AMD – POSITIVITY FROM CHINA WILLINGNESS TO TALK

Apr 16, 2025

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

Nvidia’s $5.5B Hit

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

Note the following:

  • The chart shows that after hours yesterday, QQQ broke below the micro support zone.  The micro support zone shown on the chart has now become the new lower micro resistance zone.
  • The chart shows that early this morning QQQ rallied on China news.
  • The chart shows that QQQ barely rallied into the prior micro support zone before drifting below the prior micro support zone.
  • Markets always have crosscurrents.  Here are the important crosscurrents of the day:
    • China is ready to talk to resolve trade issues. The market is expecting more good news from China trade talks.
    • Talks with Japan on trade begin today.  There is likely to be good news from talks with Japan.
    • On the negative side, the U.S. Commerce Department now has a new licensing requirement for Nvidia (NVDA) H20 and AMD (AMD) MI308.
      • The new requirement is forcing Nvidia to take a $5.5B charge.
    • ASML (ASML) is a Dutch company and is the largest provider of extreme ultra lithography equipment for semiconductor manufacturing. ASML released earnings this morning with a beat on revenue and underwhelming guidance.  ASML stated, “However, the recent tariff announcements have increased uncertainty in the macro environment and the situation will remain dynamic for a while.”
    • We shared with you in Monday’s Morning Capsule that China had suspended the export of rare earth minerals. In response, President Trump has now ordered an investigation into new potential tariffs on critical mineral imports.   Investors should note China is the top producer of 30 out of 50 critical minerals.  MP Materials (MP) is a major American rare earth miner.  MP is in the portfolio that surrounds the ZYX Buy Core Model Portfolio.
  • How should investors handle these crosscurrents?  The answer lies in strategies such as dynamic hedging, raising cash, non-correlated assets such as gold, implementing proper position sizes, and differentiating between strategic and tactical positions. No worries if you did not implement some of these important strategies.  Markets go up, and markets go down.  It is important to understand these strategies, so that as new opportunities arise, you can implement them.  Consistently applying these strategies over years is the key to maximizing the wealth generated over a lifetime.  Long time members of The Arora Report who apply these strategies are reaping big rewards. For maximizing the wealth generated over a lifetime, it is important to follow signals related to these strategies when given.
  • China’s Q1 GDP came better than expected.  In The Arora Report analysis, investors should ignore the data because it is from before the tariff increases. Here are the details:
    • China’s GDP came at 1.2% quarter-over-quarter vs. 1.4% consensus and 5.4% year-over-year vs. 5.2% consensus.
  • Prudent investors closely watch retail sales data as the U.S. economy is 70% consumer based.  Retail sales came stronger than expected.  The U.S. consumer is still going strong in spite of various uncertainties.  Here is the latest retail sales data.
    • Headline retail sales came at 1.4% vs. 1.3% consensus.
    • Retail sales ex-auto came at 0.5% vs. 0.2% consensus.
  • As an actionable item, the sum total of the foregoing is in the protection band, which strikes the optimum balance between various crosscurrents.   Please scroll down to see the protection band. The protection band is one of the large number of unique edges that are available to members of The Arora Report.

TRUMP SAVES APPLE DRIVEN TECH RALLY FROM FAILING, OPPORTUNITIES AHEAD BUT DO NOT BE A HERO

Apr 15, 2025

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

Trump Saves Rally

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

Note the following:

  • The chart shows the Apple (AAPL) driven tech rally.  The rally was triggered by President Trump removing reciprocal tariffs on smartphones, laptops, servers, and certain semiconductors over the weekend. For details, please see yesterday’s Morning Capsule.
  • Members of The Arora Report were already ahead of the curve as they knew there was disappointment that the rally was not bigger.
  • The chart shows that due to the disappointment of the rally not being bigger, the rally was contained by the micro resistance zone.
  • The chart shows that when tech stocks failed to break above the micro resistance zone, selling came in.
  • The chart shows when QQQ broke below the micro support zone.
  • The chart shows that hunt and destroy algorithms kicked in to take out the stops of those using traditional technical analysis.  No one would put a large amount of cash on a busy sidewalk and not expect it to be stolen – yet this is exactly what the followers of traditional technical analysis do day in and day out.  Then they become frustrated when their stops are taken out.  Please click here to see why traditional technical analysis does not work well anymore.  The Arora Report has made numerous innovations to optimize stops.  Consider using stop zones given by The Arora Report.  Please see Trade Management Guidelines to read more.  
  • The chart shows that after stops were taken out by hunt and destroy algorithms, a rally attempt ensued, as is normally the case.
  • The chart shows that this rally attempt failed when tech stocks broke below the micro support zone again.  This failed rally was the trigger for short sellers to push the pedal.  Of course, to the momo crowd every tiny dip is a buying opportunity. Little did the short sellers know that President Trump’s comment about auto companies would be interpreted by the market as help for tech stocks.
  • The chart shows when the news spread that President Trump said “I’m looking at something to help car companies with it. They’re switching to parts that were made in Canada, Mexico and other places, and they need a little bit of time, because they’re going to make them here.”
  • By the time news spread, as shown on the chart, the stock market was already interpreting Trump’s statement to mean that if he was going to help car companies, he would also help tech stocks.  This caused the rally shown on the chart.
  • The chart shows that the rally did not reach the micro resistance zone shown on the chart.
  • The chart shows that so far the pullback has not broken the micro support zone.  The foregoing two points indicate that so far the battle between the bulls and bears is undecided at this time.
    • If QQQ breaks below the micro support zone, short sellers will push the pedal again.
    • If QQQ breaks above the micro resistance zone, the momo crowd will become very aggressive in buying.
  • The import and export prices data released at 8:30am ET this morning provides a learning moment for prudent investors.  There are thousands of economic indicators across the globe.  Through extensive research a long time ago, The Arora Report identified the economic indicators that matter in achieving high risk adjusted returns and those that do not. The Arora Report system is based only on the indicators that matter.  The Arora Report monitors economic indicators from 23 countries.  We share in the Morning Capsules only the indicators that matter and leave out the rest.  One of the indicators that has received a lot of publicity in the media is import and export prices. Since this data has not made a difference to achieving high risk adjusted returns in recent decades, we have neither reported it in the Morning Capsules nor is it weighted in The Arora Report system.  The Arora Report system is a dynamic system – we are continuously evaluating indicators that are moving the markets, adding indicators, and removing indicators that are no longer useful.   Due to the current trade war, in the future, import and export prices may be added to The Arora Report system, but only if it helps achieve high risk adjusted returns.
  • The financial media is highlighting the import and export data that was released this morning.  In The Arora Report analysis, at least for today, investors should ignore this data.  The reason is this data, even though released this morning, is pre-tariffs – this data is meaningless for the current market.  
  • This morning Bank of America (BAC) is reporting better than expected earnings.  BAC is in the ZYX Buy Core Model Portfolio.  It is long from $7.69.  It is trading at $37.34 as of this writing in the premarket, representing a gain of 386% for long time members of The Arora Report.
  • Consider not making the biggest mistake we are seeing many investors make at this time.  In The Arora Report analysis, the biggest mistake at this time is to follow through with the urge to be a hero in the stock market.  There are times to be a hero in the stock market and aggressively buy stocks – right now is not one of them.  There are plenty of risks ahead.  If nothing else, keep in mind what we have been sharing with you and illustrating with examples – change has unintended consequences.  Even if you are a 100% believer in the changes President Trump is initiating and do not care about losses in the short term, as a prudent investor, take into account that there will be unintended consequences that are difficult to foresee.  Investors are better off buying a few percent higher from here if the risk decreases compared to aggressively buying now when the risk of a retest of the recent lows and the potential of a break below the recent lows is high. At this time, all buying should be very thoughtful and in moderation. 
  • As an actionable item, the sum total of the foregoing is in the protection band, which strikes the optimum balance between various crosscurrents.   Please scroll down to see the protection band. The protection band is one of the large number of unique edges that are available to members of The Arora Report.

TRUMP GIVES APPLE A REPRIEVE BUT TRAMPLES ON STOCK MARKET BULLS INITIAL JUBILATION

Apr 14, 2025

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

Reprieve For Apple

Please click here for a chart of Apple stock (AAPL).

Note the following:

  • The Morning Capsule is about the big picture, not an individual stock.  The chart of AAPL stock is being used to illustrate the point.
  • The power of The Arora Report support and resistance zones is evident from the chart, which shows that during the recent swoon, AAPL stock dipped to the low band of the support zone and then bounced.  This support zone is not recent.  It is a long standing support zone that was previously given to members of The Arora Report.
  • The chart shows heavy volume when AAPL stock bounced from the low band of the support zone.
  • RSI on the chart shows AAPL stock is neither overbought nor oversold.
  • The chart shows a potential island reversal pattern in AAPL stock.  This is a positive.
  • The chart shows AAPL stock trading in the premarket today with a gap up.  The reason for the gap up is President Trump granting Apple a temporary reprieve. The reprieve also includes other smart phones, laptops, servers, and certain semiconductors.
  • The chart shows the prior gap.  On Friday in the late evening when it was announced that the reciprocal tariffs would not apply to smartphones, the expectation of stock market bulls was that today AAPL stock would close the prior gap shown on the chart.
  • On Friday’s announcement, stock market bulls were jubilant.  Stock market bulls were proclaiming that today would see a massive stock market rally for the ages.
  • Prudent investors should note that on Friday, AAPL stock moved more than the market.
  • The administration is clearly extremely sharp.  In The Arora Report analysis, they recognized the unintended consequences of the dollar falling and Treasury bonds falling when President Trump paused reciprocal tariffs.  As a member of The Arora Report, you were ahead of the curve.  We previously shared with you that the reason for the drop in the dollar was a perception among foreigners that President Trump had blinked, the U.S. was unreliable, and now foreign leaders would be tougher in negotiations with President Trump as they knew President Trump’s pain point.
  • Over the weekend, there was a frenzy with a full court press, including a post from President Trump that the reprieve was temporary.  President Trump will be reviewing the entire electronics supply chain.  The administration took great pains to explain that this was not a reduction in tariffs but a reclassification.  The tech products under review accounted for 23%, $100B, of U.S. imports from China last year.  In 2024, 78% of computer monitors and 81% of smartphones were imported from China.
  • AAPL stock is in the ZYX Buy Core Model Portfolio.  AAPL stock is long from $4.68.  AAPL is trading at $209.03 as of this writing in the premarket.  This represents a gain of 4366%.  Real gains are higher because most of the AAPL position has been hedged.  Hedges became very profitable.  A signal was recently given to take partial profits on hedges.
  • As the trade war between the U.S. and China intensifies, China has suspended the export of rare earth minerals.  Rare earth minerals are very important for the American economy.  China dominates in rare earth minerals.  MP Materials is a major American rare earth miner.  MP is in the portfolio that surrounds the ZYX Buy Core Model Portfolio.
  • As an actionable item, the sum total of the foregoing is in the protection band, which strikes the optimum balance between various crosscurrents.   Please scroll down to see the protection band. The protection band is one of the large number of unique edges that are available to members of The Arora Report.
