Stock Market Weekly update -Aug 10

 We recovered all of the previous week’s losses, with the Nasdaq up almost 4% and making new all time highs, and the SPX closing near 6400 once again. The Small-caps continue to lag.  PLTR rocketed to another all time high.  Crypto got a boost from new policy announcements. The VIX dropped back to its recent lows.  And this week we get another CPI report.

Stocks remain pretty extended here, especially the Nasdaq. We saw  market tops in July 2023, and in Jul 2024.  The S&P 500 is now trading at 3.15x sales, its highest valuation in history

  We saw lots of ‘chop’ last week, ending just below where we started, with tariff uncertainty still hanging over the market. The DOW lagged as it dumped on Thursday after UNH reported earnings. Long term rates pulled back a bit while Gold continued to rocket higher, closing near $3326. This week we get more earnings including GOOGL & TSLA,  04/06:  Hedging against losses… How? If you got ahead of the tariff announcement on Monday Mar 31st using an Inverse ETF like SQQQ (SPXS, SOXS, etc) , it was up approximately 30% that week! Note that Leveraged ETFs should only be used for short term trading.
