About That Inflation Problem
By: David Moenning, Heritage Capital Research
Published: 6.14.21
For those of you keeping score at home, it is the inflation data that has dominated the stock market game of late. While the recent numbers were eye-popping, the market reaction was not. And the narrative around the subject appears to be evenly split between the two teams on the field.
Froth and Greed Are Back
By: Paul Schatz, Heritage Capital LLC
Published: 6.14.21
Right now, the vast majority of stocks on the NYSE are above their long-term and intermediate-term trends, meaning that any and all weakness remains a buying opportunity until proven otherwise. Shorter-term, we are back to some frothy and greedy sentiment readings which have been a hallmark of this 15 month bull market. The infamous “meme” stocks are back in Vogue with AMC leading the way although I do not sense the same euphoria as I did in Q1 when Gamestop started the whole craze to attack the short sellers…
Is Sideways the New Down?
By: Ryan C. Redfern ShadowRidge Asset Management
Published: 5.28.21
Since the end of April, the S&P 500 has been in a tight range and as of this writing, it is sitting almost exactly where it was a month ago. However, there are several factors that are looking more positive than we’ve seen in a while – and it seems possible we could get another move up from here. Of course, the market could remain choppy even if it moves higher (certainly more so than we saw in 2020).

The Trend Is Still Your Friend

We continue to see the stock market pushing up through the top of the trading ranges that have been entrenched over the
last three to six months.
Where Do Stocks Go From Here?

Technically, not much has changed over the past month. In our May Market Update, I wrote about how long-term the market is extended and short-term it’s consolidating. That is still the case. However…
The NAAIM Dynamic Allocation Model
Designed to be a value-add benefit to membership, NAAIM offers a Dynamic Asset Allocation Model based on the NAAIM Indicator Wall of indicators and models. The overall objective of the model portfolio is to dynamically adapt to changing market environments and to keep equity exposure in line with conditions. The model targets a normalized allocation of 60% stocks and 40% Bonds.
Here is this week’s model allocation:
The model has been run live on the NAAIM website for several years and has demonstrated the ability to reduce exposure to market risk during negative environments such as those seen in 2015-16 and 2018.

The Breaking Point
By: Sam and Bo Bills Bills Asset Management
Published: 6.11.21
As typical of many summer weeks, the market spent the week meandering in a very tight range. The resistance at the highs
remains strong and a barrier to higher prices. As mentioned last week, there will need to be a catalyst for the market to
break through resistance. The Fed meeting next week could be that catalyst and could lead to a breakout to the upside or a
break down into the trading range. At market inflection points, economic news and readings of the Fed thoughts take on
greater importance. We are at such a point….
Rotating Back To Growth?
By: Dexter P. Lyons Issachar Fund
Published: 6.14.21
I like to see the Tech stocks come back to life as the inflation trade may indeed be transitory. I believe the inflationary pressures we have recently seen are temporary phenomena because the 10-Year Treasury Yield dropped to its lowest level since early March. If the market were concerned with inflation, I believe rates would be trending higher instead of lower…
