Stock Market Trends: Guiding the Markets

Earnings season kicks off in full today with Alcoa’s report. Earnings are going to play a large part in the direction the market takes in the next 3 months. However, we don’t believe the actual earnings reported are what will drive stock prices. Investors will be paying closer attention to management’s guidance for the weeks and months ahead. Everybody is expecting terrible earnings, but is business getting better or worse?

CS-CPI Negative 3.1% Year over Year in November
"Owners' Equivalent Rent" (OER) is the largest component in the government measure of the Consumer Preice Index (CPI). OER is a process in which the BEA estimates what it would cost if owners were to rent the homes they own from themselves. I do not believe this to be a valid pricing baramoter.

Humpty Dumpty On Inflation
There is an excellent article by Axel Merk on 321Gold called Monetizing the Debt. The article discusses the Fed's growing balance sheet and whether or not it represents inflation. The aspect that I want to highlight is in regards to bank lending.

Here are a couple of charts from the article along with commentary by Merk.
<>Whereas traditionally, the Fed is actively managing short-term interest rates by buying and selling short-term Treasury bills, the Fed may also buy, say, 10 or 30-year bonds. It's a wonderful funding mechanism: if the Treasury needs to raise cash, the Fed could come and provi...
