Is It Time To "Sell The Rip"? | Lance Roberts & Adam Taggart

WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET? SCHEDULE YOUR FREE PORTFOLIO REVIEW with Thoughtful Money's endorsed financial advisors at https://www.thoughtfulmoney.com Portfolio manager Lance Roberts, like Felix Zulauf, thinks the markets will remain volatile until Fall. Stocks will bounce, but then retreat, likely re-testing the lows made earlier this month. For many, this will be frustrating. Investors' hope will be raised, then dashed -- and then raised and dashed again. Lance doesn't expect a true bottom to be put in until the speculators currently in the market are washed out by this volatility. But once it's in, he thinks that will be the time to start going long more aggressively. While he doesn't expect us to get to that point for a number of months from now, stocks have bounced substantially over this past week. Which raises the question: Is it time to "sell the rip"? For Lance's answer, watch this video. #volatility #marketcorrection #tariffs 0:00 - Sell-the-rip strategy and market outlook 6:48 - Technical analysis & 2022 analogy 17:07 - Earnings season insights & tariff impacts 24:59 - S&P’s overly-optimistic earnings forecasts 30:53 - Tariffs as price shocks, not inflation 34:03 - Market optimism despite economic slowdown 41:27 - Retail speculators’ capitulation needed 47:02 - Bond market stabilization & TLT update 53:50 - Dollar strength & de-dollarization myths 55:00 - Bitcoin’s risk-on surge 59:42 - Speculator vs. investor mindset 1:09:45 - Market reactions to various trade war outcomes 1:20:03 - Ukraine-Russia peace deal impacts 1:27:30 - Rant: Incentivizing family formation 1:43:14 - Education reform 1:54:45 - Closing remarks & optimism for the future _____________________________________________ Thoughtful Money LLC is a Registered Investment Advisor Promoter.
