    Get ready for the trading week beginning January 7th, 2019!

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 05:31 AM PST

    Hey what's up r/stocks! Happy Saturday to all of you. I hope everyone on this sub made out pretty good last week amid all of the insane market volatility as of late, and are ready for the new trading week ahead! :)

    Here is everything you need to know to get you ready for the trading week beginning January 7th, 2019.

    Stock market comeback is now in the hands of China-US trade talks - (Source)

    Trade talks between the U.S.and China will dominate the market's focus in the week ahead, while investors are also watching to see whether other companies join the ranks of Apple and warn about an earnings miss.

    Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, who sent stocks sharply higher Friday, speaks again Thursday at an Economics Club of Washington D.C. luncheon. He is expected to deliver the same dovish message about flexibility when it comes to policy and patience when it comes to raising interest rates.

    Apple blamed a revenue miss in big part on a sudden drop off in iPhone sales in China in November. The hit was seen as a sign that not only are trade tensions hitting China's economy, but the U.S. economy and corporations could feel the pinch. Apple's comments came the day before a stunning drop in ISM manufacturing data which also was blamed in part on trade friction.

    "What the market needs next week and the week after is positive guidance from companies. What are companies telling us? What are their customers telling us?" said Quincy Krosby, chief market strategist at Prudential Financial. "If we could move from a stellar earnings to a more moderate earnings backdrop, the market will accept that but if guidance is weak and companies are lowering revenue growth, that will affect the market."

    The S&P 500 surged over 3.3 percent Friday to 2,531, and was up 1.7 percent for the week. The S&P was up more than 7.5 percent from its Dec. 24 low close.

    China and the United States will hold vice ministerial level trade talks in Beijing on Monday and Tuesday and are expected to hold another round of meetings the following week.

    "China is going to be absolutely the big thing," said Julian Emanuel, chief equities and derivatives strategist at BTIG. China cut reserve requirements Friday to encourage more bank lending, its latest policy move aimed at ending a slowdown.

    Economists expect U.S. growth to slow slightly, to the 2-2.5 percent range in the fist half but markets have been reacting to the prospect of an even slower economy. The ISM data for December was particularly discouraging because of a steep drop in new orders.

    "The question is are we likely to have warnings? Given the economic data that we've seen, particularly the slowdown in the new orders component, we probably are likely to get warnings and the question is, is it baked into stock prices? We think, for the most part, it is," said Emanuel.

    Markets will also remain heavily focused on data after the weak ISM survey was followed by a surprisingly strong December jobs report with 312,000 nonfarm payrolls added. The employment report showed a strong labor market, with wage growth of 0.4 percent and a pickup in participation by more than 400,000 workers.

    "What this market needed was a strong data release, an unequivocally strong data release," said Krosby. "It was an injection to positive data in a market that has been worried about an economy that is potentially stalling,"

    Krosby said the market needs to build on its gains and the positive sentiment around the strong data. "This has been a market that had all of the signatures of the bear claws death by 1,000 cuts. No data release was seen as positive. Everything was seen as negative. If we could turn that psychology around and build on it, but we are waiting to see if there are sellers who were waiting to get out. We need to see if they're still there."

    Data releases in the comign week include Services ISM Monday and international trade data, out Tuesday morning, but the data the markets are waiting for will be Friday's CPI inflation report.

    During his appearance Friday, Powell indicated that inflation was not a concern for the Fed and the economy is still in good shape despite concerns. He also said the Fed was paying attention to the market, which is reflecting a weaker outlook than the data suggests.

    Powell also indicated the Fed can be "patient" and it will be flexible and willing to change policy if it sees changes in conditions. That comforted markets and sent stocks higher. Powell had said the Fed's balance sheet reduction program was on 'auto pilot' when he spoke in December, and that spooked some investors who wanted to see the Fed willing to modify its policy in the face of the market's sell off.

    "Certainly, the market feels better about the fact that the Fed is moving towards its view on the hiking cycle. which is that it's largely over. From that perspective it decreases the possibility that the Fed is going to hike too far like it did in 2004 and 2006. It did in 2000 and it did in 1974, triggering broader stock market downturns and recessions," said Emanuel.

    "That's makes people feel better and from our point of view that it makes it more likely that the technical bear market we've seen…is the likelihood that this going to be a shorter, shallower non-recessionary bear market," said Emanuel. The S&P 500 has briefly visited a bear market, falling 20 percent from its all-time high on an intraday basis.

    Emanuel said the rally on the Fed was important since it had been a concern for the market.He expects the Fed to stay on hold this year and also announce that it will stop the roll off of its balance sheet by mid year.

    "This reinforces the view the bulk of this bear market decline is behind us, and there's at least an expectation that communication between the U.S. and China is poised to improve rather than become more acrimonious over the course of the next few weeks," he said.

    Why January is still the most important month

    Devised by Yale Hirsch in 1972, the January Barometer (JB) has registered ten major errors since 1950 for an 85.5% accuracy ratio. This indicator adheres to propensity that as the S&P 500 goes in January, so goes the year. Of the ten major errors Vietnam affected 1966 and 1968. 1982 saw the start of a major bull market in August. Two January rate cuts and 9/11 affected 2001.The market in January 2003 was held down by the anticipation of military action in Iraq. The second worst bear market since 1900 ended in March of 2009 and Federal Reserve intervention influenced 2010 and 2014. In 2016, DJIA slipped into an official Ned Davis bear market in January. Last year, 2018, became the tenth major error overall and the seventh since 2001 as a hawkish Fed, a trade war and slowing global growth concerns resulted in the worst fourth quarter performance by S&P 500 since 2008. Including the eight flat years yields a .739 batting average.

    (CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

    Let's compare the January Barometer to all other "Monthly Barometers." For the accompanying table we went back to 1938 for the S&P 500 and DJIA — the year in which the January Barometer came to life — and back to 1971 for NASDAQ when that index took its current form.

    The accuracy ratios listed are based on whether or not the given month's move — up or down — was followed by a move in the same direction for the whole period. For example, in the 81 years of data for the S&P 500 for the January Barometer, 61 years moved in the same direction for 75.3% accuracy.

    The Calendar Year ratio is based on the month's percent change and the whole year's percent change; i.e., we compare December 2017's percent change to the change for 2017 as a whole. By contrast the 11-month ratio compares the month's move to the move of the following eleven months. February's change is compared to the change from March to January. The 12-month change compares the month's change to the following twelve months. February's change is compared to the change from March to the next February.

    Though the January Barometer is based on the S&P 500 we thought it would clear the air to look at the other two major averages as well. You can see for yourself in the table that no other month comes close to January in forecasting prowess over the longer term.

    There are a few interesting anomalies to point out though. On a calendar year basis DJIA in January is slightly better than the S&P. 2011 is a perfect example of how the DJIA just edges out for the year while the S&P does not. For NASDAQ April, September and November stick out as well on a calendar year basis, but these months are well into the year, and the point is to know how the year might pan out following January, not April, September or November. And no other month has any basis for being a barometer. January is loaded with reasons.

    Being the first month of the year it is the time when people readjust their portfolios, rethink their outlook for the coming year and try to make a fresh start. There is also an increase in cash that flows into the market in January, making market direction even more important. Then there is all the information Wall Street has to digest: The State of the Union Address, FOMC meeting, 4th quarter GDP, earnings and the plethora of other economic and market data.

    Myths Dispelled

    In recent years new myths and/or areas of confusion have come to light. One of the biggest errors is the notion that the January Barometer is a standalone indicator that can be used to base all of your investment decisions for the coming year on. This is simply not true and we have never claimed that the January Barometer should or could be used in this manner. The January Barometer is intended to be used in conjunction with all available data deemed relevant to either confirm or call into question your assessment of the market. No single indicator is 100% accurate so no single indicator should ever be considered in a vacuum. The January Barometer is not an exception to this.

    Another myth is that the January Barometer is completely useless. Those that believe this like to point out that simply expecting the market to be higher by the end of the year is just as accurate as the January Barometer. Statistically, they are just about right. In the 81-year history examined in this article, there were only 24 full-year declines. So yes, the S&P 500 has posted annual gains 70.4% of the time since 1938. What is missing from this argument is the fact that when January was positive, the full year was also positive 86.0% of the time and when January was down the year was down 58.1% of the time. These are not the near perfect outcomes that true statisticians prefer, but once again, the January Barometer was not intended to be used in a vacuum.

    Typical January Trading: Strength Early and That's Been About It Recently

    Historically, the New Year has started out well with modest gains the first few trading days of January. Since 1980, DJIA has averaged a 0.30% gain on the first trading day of the year. S&P 500 has averaged 0.21% and NASDAQ 0.22%. Similar to slightly better average gains have been observed on the second trading day of January, but after that consistent gains have become elusive. January's performance over the more recent 21-year period has been rather lackluster. Strength is still present, on average, at the start of the month, but quickly fades after the second or third trading day. Afterwards, the trend is sideways to lower, a brief pause mid-month and then more sideways to lower trading through the end of the month. Weakness is most pronounced just after mid-month, beginning around the 12th trading day of January.

    Market Fears and Economic Realities

    Recent Federal Reserve (Fed) rhetoric has spooked financial markets, especially as uncertainty has clouded investors' horizons. But we still believe the fundamental U.S. economic landscape is compelling, and despite market concerns, an important measure of market interest rates suggests that monetary policy remains accommodative.

    As shown in the LPL Chart of the Day, inflation-adjusted interest rates are still comparatively low and well below levels that historically have preceded economic recessions. Currently, the real fed funds rate sits at 0.3% (based on year-over-year core Consumer Price Index [CPI] growth of 2.2%), below the 1.3% real interest rate we've averaged since the end of 1970. During that same period, the real interest rate reached an average high of 4.2% before the U.S. economy entered a recession, significantly above where rates are today.

    (CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

    "There is a disconnect between U.S. economic data and pessimism priced into financial markets," said LPL Research Chief Investment Strategist John Lynch. "The U.S. economy is strong enough to operate at current rates, and we expect the Fed to be pragmatic and flexible enough to guide us to a soft landing."

    This has been one of the most challenging market environments to navigate since the end of the Great Recession. However, we believe strong fundamentals are still in place, and the Fed's plans remain supportive to the economic environment. While the uncertainty has been uncomfortable, the Fed remains data-dependent, leading us to expect two rate hikes in 2019.

    Does any know of some good “case studies” of day traders who have maintained net positive trades over time?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2019 08:37 PM PST

    Note that I am not talking about total return, but instead looking Day-traders who have made a profit on at least 51%+ of their trades over many years.

    Preferably looking around the past 15 years, and a very high volume of trades.

    Dividend paying stocks to ride the bear market?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 10:50 AM PST

    Many smart folks think we are in for a bear market that won't reach new highs for 2-3 years.

    Why not build a basket of high dividend stocks with strong track records of dividend increases and a balance sheet showing strong free cash flow. Preferably these companies would be in recession resistant hard to disrupt industries such as alcohol, tobacco, telecom, consumer staples, etc.

    Ride the market through the bear and just get paid to wait with the dividends. Reinvest those dividends and average down into the market with new paychecks.

    You'll come out the other end 3-4 years from now with more principal, more dividends(via increases) , and you were paid to wait all those years.

    I'm prepared to ride or die with dividend paying companies.

    All index futures are +3%

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 04:19 AM PST

    All futures are very, very green right now: https://finviz.com/futures.ashx

    is the correction over?

    Stocks bolted out of the starting gate Friday on positive news from China and stronger-than-expected December payrolls data, and ahead of comments from the Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell.

    Chip stocks rallied at the open, as Dow Jones stock Intel (INTC) surged early on an analyst upgrade and price hike. Netflix (NFLX) staked out a big lead among rebounding FANG stocks. Alibaba Group Holding (BABA) and IPO Tencent Music (TME) led an early surge among China-based names.

    The Nasdaq Composite was up 2.4% and climbing, as NetEase (NTES), Electronc Arts (EA) and Celgene (CELG) led the Nasdaq 100.

    The Dow Jones industrial average and S&P 500 each strengthened their opening gains to 2%. Intel easily topped the Dow. Varian Medical (VAR), CF Industries (CF) and Electronic Arts jockeyed for the top slot among S&P 500 stocks.

    $Sono calls?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 08:02 AM PST

    Im talking myself into some Feb 15th $12.5 SONO calls.

    With CES this week and earnings scheduled for 02/11...

    This might be a bonehead move but I'm feeling it but figured I'd bounce it off people that have more experience before pulling the trigger Monday

    [DISCUSSION] Are we entering a Bear Market?

    Posted: 05 Jan 2019 09:55 AM PST

    What kind of strategies you have? Should I check Daily, hourly 15 or 5 minutes indicators? I want to buy once every day around closing time. Do any of you do that, earn little by little every day?

    I’m expecting Netflix (NFLX) to take a pretty big hit at some point this year. What do you think?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2019 04:23 PM PST

    Full disclaimer: I'm not a savvy investor, but...

    Currently it has a P/E ratio over 100. Disney is planning on pulling content off to enter the industry as a competitor.

    A P/E ratio of that magnitude indicates that the market has a lot of faith that Netflix will continue to grow, right? I just don't imagine Netflix will continue to grow at the same rate with another major additional competitor.

    What do you think?

    Edit: Took out a dollar sign that was incorrect.

    Thanks for all of the different opinions, it was nice seeing many different POV's!

    The future of stocks in the healthcare market if...

    Posted: 04 Jan 2019 04:37 PM PST

    There seems to be a push for a single payer healthcare system in the U.S. Congress. If single payer healthcare is passed, how would the stock market react? Especially in the healthcare sector?

    My current stock strategy (short term/ long term)

    Posted: 04 Jan 2019 06:53 PM PST

    Please let me know what do you think about my view. I am bullish on Netflix and Amazon and bearish on FB and Apple. First three are not trade war stock still they are not fully immune. Important thing to look next week is the meeting netween US and China. If meeting goes good (less chance) buy long call DTE march 1 for amazon and Netflix. If meeting goes bad buy more apple put Feb 15 DTE

    Other Important points: Border wall shutdown: No solution within next week. When it is solved stock will temporarily go up. (+) China trade war and slowing economy: Most probably will not change until trump gone. Trumps position is weakening and china will exploit that to buy time. But trump will not risk economy by imposing more tax. What they gonna do is to make a face saving deal and keep things like it for now. (+) Feds became dovish (+)

    Within next 3 months general stocks remain same or move up. Don't go down much. In this earning cycle (Q1) all tech and china stock report bad earning most likely.

    Possible things on the table: Trump impeachment: New government will be stable and china trade war will stop. That is positive. If trump is impeached (he will not be) than it will be problem as violence and unrest may result. If he lost 2020 election (which he will) it is good for stock market in a long run.

    Current turbulent state will run through 2020 with stock loosing or not increasing much. After that we may se bull run again.

    Fed Chairman Powell Comments and Market Performance (HINDSIGHT 20/20)

    Posted: 04 Jan 2019 06:32 PM PST

    Just thought how the market reacted post-Powell commentary. I just selected what I thought would be strategic keywords placed during a speech or for what media usually highlights post-speech.

    Here you go:

    10/3/2018: Keywords A LONG WAY

    "Interest rates are still accommodative, but we're gradually moving to a place where they will be neutral," he added. "We may go past neutral, but we're a long way from neutral at this point, probably."

    Markets: S&P500 +2.08, DJIA +54.45, NASDAQ +25.54

    11/28/2018: Keywords JUST BELOW

    "Interest rates are still low by historical standards, and they remain just below the broad range of estimates of the level that would be neutral for the economy — that is, neither speeding up nor slowing down growth."

    Markets: S&P500 +61.62, DJIA +617.7, NASDAQ +208.89

    1/4/2019: Keyword PATIENT

    "As always, there is no preset path for policy," Powell said. "And particularly with muted inflation readings that we've seen coming in, we will be patient as we watch to see how the economy evolves."

    Markets: S&P500 +84.05, DJIA +746.94, NASDAQ +275.35

    Discussion on SimplyWallSt.com. Good for novice investors?

    Posted: 04 Jan 2019 03:03 PM PST

    I signed up for Simply Wall St. which is a website for investors that aren't fluent in reading balance sheets. This site makes it easy with easy to read infographics. I'm a fairly novice investor and am curious if anyone here has used this service and whether you think it's a good tool or mostly inaccurate.

    ​

    Would greatly appreciate your insight!

    Share your stock picks with me please.

    Posted: 04 Jan 2019 08:23 PM PST

    Looking for new stock investment ideas. Would love for you to share your favorite stock picks which meet the following criteria:

    1) Traded on a U.S. based exchange and actually based in the U.S. (no ADR or other tracking stocks)

    2) Revenue growth, but doesn't have to be profitable (yet).

    3) Hasn't recently conducted any stock buybacks nor has plans to buy back stock

    4) More cash on hand than total liabilities - preferably companies with very little debt.

    Industry and market cap size doesn't matter.
