Throughout my career, I've observed financial figures like Harry Dent, Robert Kiyosaki, and Robert Prechter, known for dramatic yet often inaccurate market crash predictions. Despite their visibility, their long-term forecasts rarely materialize. I also touch on Jeremy Grantham and Nassim Taleb, who have had some success in investment management but still lean towards pessimism. We'll explore why many Baby Boomers, shaped by past market downturns, find these doomsday predictions appealing despite the market's historical resilience. Join me to learn why staying rational and making informed, long-term investment decisions is crucial—don't miss it!

On Thursday, July 11th, the government released a favorable CPI inflation report, sparking optimism for earlier Federal Reserve rate cuts. The S&P 500 initially surged but closed lower, while the Russell 2000 saw significant gains, outperforming the Nasdaq Composite in a historically wide variance. Despite this, the long-term performance of the Russell 2000 remains below its 2021 highs, with concerns about sustained economic slowdown. Investors are advised to reassess their portfolios, particularly those near retirement, to prepare for potential market volatility.

It's Undebatable: GOP, DNC, or 3rd Party Candidate
Saturday Jul 06, 2024
Saturday Jul 06, 2024
On Thursday night, June 27th, after our Second Half Market Outlook Livestream, President Biden and former President Trump engaged in their first of two Presidential debates. While we won't delve into the specifics of the debate, it's important to note that as of Friday morning, betting odds of a GOP victory in November shifted significantly. However, it's crucial for investors to remember that these betting markets, like Fed Funds Futures, often lack long-term predictive accuracy. Friday's stock market reaction to PCE inflation data highlighted concerns about ongoing deficit spending regardless of the election outcome. At Oak Harvest, our primary role is to manage our clients' capital and help them achieve their financial goals. We also strive to educate clients on financial markets, emphasizing the historical impact of the Federal Reserve over presidential policies on market performance. As we approach another election cycle, we advise clients to remain focused on data-driven insights rather than political emotions and to consult with advisors about their financial plans to navigate potential market volatility.

Stock Market 1H24-"Everyones a winner?" Not
Friday Jun 28, 2024
Friday Jun 28, 2024
2024 Market Recap: With over 35 years in the financial markets, I’ve seen the phrase "stock picker's market" frequently misused. Yet, in 1H24, outside of the S&P 500, it truly has been a stock picker’s market, with significant gains concentrated in a few major stocks, like NVDA, MSFT, and GOOGL, driving the S&P 500's performance. Despite the broader index rising, only two sectors—technology and telecommunications—outperformed, reflecting a narrow market breadth similar to the dot-com bubble era. This disparity underscores the importance of diversified investment strategies and the need for tailored financial planning, especially as we approach potential market volatility in the latter half of the year. If you're concerned about market fluctuations or your retirement plan, now is a good time to discuss your portfolio with your advisor. Oak Harvest Financial Group recently received recognition as one of USA TODAY’s Best Financial Advisory Firms 2024, and we're committed to helping our clients navigate these challenging times.

Join me as I share the intriguing developments in the financial markets as we approach mid-2024. Despite low overall volatility in the S&P 500, single stock volatility, especially in large-cap tech stocks, is unusually high. Discover how the S&P 500 is following the Presidential election cycle and the significant performance gap among sectors. I’ll also discuss the deteriorating market breadth and the economic complications arising from the yield curve inversion in Treasury interest rates. These dynamics call for a review of investment strategies, and at Oak Harvest Financial Group, we're here to help with proactive planning and a new strategy to manage market risks effectively. Don't miss out on this insightful analysis!

Summer Loving - Tactical Trading
Friday Jun 14, 2024
Friday Jun 14, 2024
A few times a year, I create videos addressing the constant warnings about economic collapse and stock market bubbles from various pundits who don't manage money or know individual financial situations. One of my videos titled, "The Trouble with Harry Dent, Robert Kiyosaki, and Nassim Taleb - Fear Sells - Crash of a Lifetime" published late December, has become our most viewed investment video on YouTube, surpassing others from when the market was declining last October. As we enter the usual summer rally period, I emphasize the importance of discussing tactical trading and asset allocation rebalancing with your advisor during low volatility periods. Additionally, I highlight the historical positive returns in the fourth year of presidential cycles and encourage proactive financial planning to manage risk and anxiety. If you need tailored advice, reach out to Oak Harvest, and learn about our new strategy offering more flexibility in stock management.

In this episode of Stock Talk, I explore the current economic climate, drawing comparisons to the early 70s and analyzing the potential for a similar financial outcome in the coming years. Some that come to mind:
- High inflation: Comparing the current inflation situation to that of the 70s.
- Wars in the Middle East: Reflecting on conflicts that impact global stability and economy, akin to events in the 70s.
- Socio-economic turmoil: Protests on college campuses and broader socio-political unrest, similar to the upheaval of the 70s.
With my extensive experience in economics and finance, I explain why this matters to investors: understanding these parallels can help you anticipate market movements and make informed decisions. I highlight the critical role of real interest rates in predicting market trends and discuss recent reactions to economic data, underscoring the bond market's influence.

2024: A Year of Storms and Volatility?

Friday May 31, 2024
In this week's Stock Talk, I discuss the tumultuous week of May 24th, when Houston faced a disruptive spring thunderstorm, causing widespread power outages that impacted nearly a million residents, including our team at Oak Harvest. I reflect on whether 2024 will be remembered as the "year of storms," not just weather-related but also political, military, and financial. Despite high volatility in single stocks like Walmart and Target, the overall market has remained unusually calm. I share insights into declining bond market volatility, future volatility predictions, and introduce Oak Harvest's new strategy designed to navigate these unpredictable times.

More Normal? Summer Rally? Stock Market Forecast Analysis
Friday May 17, 2024
Friday May 17, 2024
For investors frequently following financial news on CNBC, Fox News, or Bloomberg, the prospect of the S&P 500 approaching all-time highs again might seem implausible, especially after widespread recession predictions for early 2024 that never materialized. Despite the market’s substantial rise, many commentators who have consistently forecasted downturns remain pessimistic, often reframing their incorrect predictions as being "early" rather than "wrong." In this video, we'll explore historical stock market patterns, particularly how markets often stall before breaking out to new highs, and what this might mean for the coming months. We'll examine the predictive work of analysts like Larry Williams, compare current trends to notable years like 1995 and 2000, and discuss the potential for a summer rally.
