Chart update 1/25

S&P now at 1502. A lot of people have jumped on the bandwagon the last week. Earnings and Revenues are not super great but they are there and equities are valued at around p/e 15 on this years earnings. Apple is yielding more than 10Y US Treasuries. I am not saying 10Y US Treasuries would be where they are without the FED's actions but still, there are bullish cases to be made and as long as that is the case, the bullish bandwagon is to be respected.

Considering the rapid rise and many days without correction I think the market will frustrate the  hell out of both bulls and bears in the coming weeks, a trendless low volatility market say 1490-1510. Then we will see some final push in to 1520-1530 where the situation will need to be reevaluated but for now I am comfortable shorting equities there and being long short individual equity names as well as long short equity index vs commodities on the way up there. Most likely we will have a trendless market up there for some months.

What is more interesting and potentially trending is the commodity space. Gold could be breaking down hard and to a lesser degree copper. I believe there are two drivers behind this move now, 1) the beginning of the first period end of money printing (i.e. there will be more later on). 2) the great asset class rotation from interest bearing assets to income generating assets.
