The magnificent 7 tumble and the talk is that the upcoming inflation report could spark the stock market’s next big sell-off.

Seems to me there are a number of risks, not the least of which is the Middle East War, a looming election, interest rates and inflation. To me this is still a good time to keep your powder dry or look at high yield alternative investments.

The next big catalyst for the stock market is the February CPI inflation report, according to Fundstrat.

  • It will be released on March 12, and will signal to investors whether the Fed could soon cut interest rates.
  • “We wonder if this is potentially the fundamental catalyst for a sell-off,” Fundstrat said.

The next big catalyst that could shake up the stock market is the February CPI report, according to a recent note from Fundstrat.

The inflation reading, which is scheduled to be released on March 12, will signal to investors whether the Federal Reserve could soon cut interest rates.

“To us, this is also the decision point for markets in 2024. If the Feb CPI is ‘hot,’ even if for statistically wrong reasons, we think markets could become anxious,” Fundstrat’s Tom Lee said.

The current offering features:

  • Preferred 10% annual, simple interest return from all cash available
  • Then, 80% of cash available up to an IRR of 15%

Any capital gains realized from the sale of property to unrelated person that are reinvested in a qualified opportunity zone fund within 180 days is deferred until the earlier of the sale of the investment or December 31, 2026. (Many industry experts forecast that this will be extended).

The Terrible Ten
February 23, 2024 by Paul Henneman

“The Magnificent Seven” was the most popular sobriquet among stock market strategists, portfolio managers and reporters in 2023.  Stocks such as Google, Nvidia, Tesla, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Apple dominated performance and volume charts.  Almost unnoticed, Broadcom pushed its way to 4th in Market Cap in the Nasdaq and more than doubled in price last year but is still left out of the popular lists.  Perhaps they should be called the “Elite Eight.”

 That said, most of the aforementioned group of quotable experts expect some mean reversion for the top stocks in the S&P 500 and counsel avoiding market cap weighting in favor of equal weighting.  There has been an Invesco ETF based upon an equal-weighted version of the S&P 500 for more than 20 years with the ticker symbol RSP.  With such a top-heavy S&P, several experts have opined that investors may wish to switch to the equal-weighted S&P to mitigate the risk of a tech bubble.
