From buy on the dip to sell on the bounce–this is a stock market in transition
Yesterday, March 17, the stocks, and especially the technology stocks, that have been pummeled in 2022 continued their three-day bounce. For another day, at least, buy on the dip proved to be a very profitable adventure. Lithium recycling startup LiCycle (LICY), for...
What’s ahead for the stock market (and investors) in 2022? Here’s what to look for to drive the year
Looking ahead at 2022, it’s not too hard to list the forces that will drive the financial markets. Putting those forces together and blocking out a schedule for their effects on the stock market? Well, that’s a lot harder. But let me try. Here’s my...
Fed, jobs report clears the deck for an end of the year market melt up
The dominoes keep tumbling and I think we’re now set up for one of those extremely volatile market melt ups through early January. First, on Wednesday, the Federal Reserve removed a big worry hanging over the stock market when it announced that it would begin...
Buy on the dip LIVES! But it’s even more complicated than usual
Need anymore evidence than the stock market action yesterday and today? Yesterday, October 13, with the Standard & Poor’s 500 down for three straight sessions and the index lower by 4.1% from its September 2 high, the market reversed. Suddenly everyone...
Individuals buying on the dip can’t keep stocks in the green today
Retail investors sure tried. They bought $1.93 billion in stocks on Monday. But after a solidly higher open today, Tuesday, September 21, that saw the Standard & Poor’s 500 up 0.78% at 9:48 a.m., stocks drifted slowly lower for the rest of the day as a...
Individual investors aren’t buying on the dip–I think they’re waiting for bigger bargains
An interesting–and I think important–post by Ethan Wolff-Mann on Yahoo Finance yesterday (https://finance.yahoo.com/news/retail-traders-arent-buying-the-dip-like-normal-analysts-201817959.html). According to Data from Vanda Research, individual investors...
Investors buy the dip; Delta variant is forgotten for a day
Today investors and traders ran to buy all the re-opening, post-vaccine recovery, cyclical stocks that they dumped yesterday. Macy’s (M) is up 4.29% as of 3:30 p.m. New York time after plunging 4.90% yesterday. Amusement park operator Cedar Fair (FUN) is up...
Friday’s jobs report drives the week
All eyes all week long will be on Friday’s report on March jobs from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg project that the economy will add 642,000 new jobs in the month and that the official unemployment rate will drop to 6.0% from...
On my JubakAM.Com site I just restocked my buy on the dip “Dip-O-Meter” with
an initial 14 technology stocks. The list includes Adobe (ADBE), Facebook (FB), Infineon (IFNNY), Illumina (ILMN), Intuitive Surgical (ISRG), Microsoft (MSFT), Nvidia (NVDA), NXP Semiconductors (NXPI), Qualcomm (QCOM), Palo Alto Networks (PANW), SolarEdge Technologies...
NASDAQ 100 moves into correction
Traders who bought on the dip at the end of last week were a bit early, the market is saying today. As of noon New York time, the Standard & Poor’s 500 was down 1.91%; the Dow Jones Industrial Average was off 1.56%, and the NASDAQ Composite was lower by a...
Is a 20% drop in these Dip-o-Meter stocks enough?
I ran the prices and the performance of the 15 Dip-o-Meter stocks last night to see if any were yet in Buy-on-the-dip category. Of course all those numbers have been left needing big revisions after today’s rally. (I’ll wait a day on that revision to see...

China slides into correction too: Are Chinese stocks better buy on the dip candidates?
While our eyes have been glued to the volatility in U.S. markets, Chinese stocks have staged their own correction. The Shanghai Composite is down 12.1% from its high on January 24 to the low on Thursday, February 8. With the Lunar New Year and the week-long Spring...
A much better day than modest gains in the indexes indicate
The Standard & Poor’s 500 finished up 0.29% today. The tech- and bank-heavy NASDAQ Composite was up 0.54%. The Small Cap Russell 2000 was ahead 0.79%. Always good to finish to the upside, of course, when you’re looking for the end of a dip (and...
I hope you weren’t expecting clarity from today’s market
In my Morning Briefing post published on my JubakAM.com subscription site around noon (and on this site around 8 p.m.)today I said it would be critical to see if the early slight move up in the prices of stocks in technology and other risky sectors held through the...
A mildly positive but inconclusive day so far for U.S. stocks
An absolutely inconclusive day so far. Â Which is actually kind of positive. The upward move in technology shares and other risky sectors isn’t strong enough to qualify as a bounce. But it’s certainly not a continuation of the strong selling on Monday and...
Buy on the dip reflex intact today
Last night I posted that today would be critical for this market’s buy on the dip reflex. Yesterday’s move up after the Wednesday rout wasn’t convincing, I noted, and a retreat today would have raise doubts that the long-standing buy on the dip...

Nervous as we hit new high after new high? First dip, whenever, is likely to be limited
Today, February 21, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Standard & Poor’s 500, and the Russell 2000 each hit new record highs. As of Friday February 17, the &P 500 had already climbed 5% for 2017. But valuations do look stretched. The forward price to...The big test: How long will it take this rally to bust through 1,000 on the S&P?
Notice that I’m asking When?and not If?  This rally looks like it has enough momentum to get through the 1,000 barrier. It sure helps that the big alternative to stocks, money market funds, are paying just 0.5% right now. With lots of cash on the sidelines I do...Jim’s Daily Email Alerts:
