Big Money Buying Slows To Key Level

· · Leave a Comment

We prepared you for August volatility. We started telling readers in July, but this morning something happened. Our Mapsignals Big Money Buying (MBMB) Index breached a key level – 45%. You may remember that this means we expect to see lower market prices near-term. Basically, selling overtook buying and pushed our index down below 45%. But don’t worry, it’s nothing more than the 7th inning stretch. Our data says that the bears’ days are numbered. Selling is starting to exhaust itself.

So, what’s next? Historically we tend to be close to the end of a market pullback once the index falls below 45%. On average, it takes 13 days until the bottom. The average pullback is -5.45%.

As we’ve said before: get your buy list ready. History says the recovery will be fast.

BOTTOM LINE: The Mapsignals Index has guided us before: we think the bears’ days are coming to an end. Follow the big money and get your buy list ready.

Closed – Come Back In September!

“They should just close the market for August and re-open in September” is what a multi-billion dollar fund manager said to me a few weeks back. It’s true, markets tend to catch a cold in August. Maybe we should all be zombie investors in August…more on that in a bit.

Since mid-July we said that August tends to bring sell-offs. Having a game plan is key. The selling this week is nothing new and was expected. That said, Monday’s selling was the biggest of the year. Last time we saw massive selling like this was the week of 5/28/19. That didn’t last long. A zombie investor does well in this environment- buy great stocks and die for a while. Being a zombie can crush the market’s return, especially going shopping in a falling market! (link to a full report below.)

Will prices go lower near-term? Most likely. But, that’s a good thing because it’s a buying opportunity for great stocks. On July 14th we started preparing:

“Don’t get alarmed but know this:

We are in a strong market, trading at highs with nearly all buy signals. That’s usually unsustainable, which means I think we are setting up for a little give-back. I don’t do predictions, but gun to my head- we could see -5.5% by mid-August; 2850 on the S&P 500. The data will give clues if something like this is going to happen. But then I believe it will just continue to march right on higher.”

So, what’s next? We are prepping our buy lists. We only focus in on the best stocks out there.

What’s a zombie investor, anyway? Read our latest white paper, Zombies Are Real, in partnership with Navellier & Associates.

So here’s what you do: go on a market vacation for August and come back in September. If you’re brave and want to stay and fight- stay calm, have your shopping list handy looking for deals. Adopt the icy dead calm of a dead person. When you buy, plan on dying for a while like a zombie. When you wake up- odds are you’ll be really happy when you see your statements.
