Timing the Market with IBD’s ETF Market Strategy
what to do now
The stock market’s attempt to rally ended the week on a bullish note, with major indexes reversing gains on Friday and many leading stocks issuing buy signals.
Investors could and probably should have added some exposure on Friday. If the market continues to be strong, continue to shift away from cash, but do so gradually.
Remember that while stocks rebounded on Friday as Treasury yields came off their highs, market interest rates continue to rise. If the 10-year Treasury yield approaches 5%, it’s easy to imagine the major indexes falling again.
Therefore, be prepared to exit if the market or position starts to waver.
But this weekend is the time to prepare. Make sure your watchlist is up to date. Pay particular attention to stocks that are viable or close to viable.
Next week, investors will receive CPI and PPI inflation reports. Earnings season begins. JP Morgan Chase (J.P.M.), united health (UNH) and delta airlines (Dal) Among the headliners.
