Sell the stock market in May and go away? Not so fast, say experts
HW: But more importantly, what say the astrologers?!
ARE YOU PREPARED FOR MAY 2019 MARKETS?
- Take an early and long Summer Vacation and don’t worry as markets will most likely recover later in the year Or.
- perhaps markets may just turn down just 3-5%, BUT it may be the beginning of a real correction [10-12% or more] ….
WHY MAY? In addition to astro indicators, 5 potential EARTHLY reasons:
- More disappointing corporate earnings & forecasts coming
- FOMC Meeting April 30-May 1 unsettling markets
- A classic “Sell in May and Go Away” (unlike last year)
- Assorted geopolitical swan events e.g. China, [Iran, UK, Turkey, etc.]
THE BIGGEST REASON IS THAT GIVEN MARKETS ARE AT RECORD LEVELS.
WE DON’T SEE ANY VERY STRONG EARTHLY (OR HEAVENLY) REASON FOR MARKETS TO MOVE MUCH HIGHER AT THIS POINT IN TIME!
BOTTOM LINE:
We advise protect profits by placing trailing profit stops, raising cash, writing calls, buying puts etc., or sweat out late Spring but relax later year end!

2. Why this cheap commodity shouldn’t be overlooked, even by stock-market investors
Many companies to watch and PREPARE TO BUY LATE MAY/JUNE ON!
3. We continue to recommend Maximum Allocation or fresh precious and base metal investments for the intermediate and long term, given that the precious metal sector and copper are obviously very undervalued!
Happily, there will be less competition from MMJ & Bitcoin “investors” as time goes on.
With seasonal weakness and some unfavorable astro leaving over the next few weeks, we advise patient precious metal investors to pay attention to stock selection and be prepared to buy upon SERIOUS WEAKNESS (TEST OF 1255-58?) OR TIMEWISE JUNE/SUMMER 2019.
- Gold remains cheap geopolitical crisis insurance.
- For investors who cannot or will not buy the $US currency as well as investors who wish to safely and cheaply hedge their US$ exposure, ONLY GOLD IS AS GOOD AS GOLD!
Gold FV $1370 = Commodity FV: 1332 + Currency FV: 1380 + Inflation Metal FV:1368 + Crisis FV: 1400.
Gold/Silver ratio à 78 Silver FV $18.
INVESTORS: We plan to stay LONG into H2 2019 (recommending a precious metal sector hold rating and only occasional hedging, selling or profit taking).
We remain disinclined to short or sell until gold is overvalued e.g. $1400-1450. For silver our first selling numbers remain $20+.
4. “The current optimism that things are bottoming out by those who have been wrong for quite some time is premature. I think the consensus will be disappointed again in the second half, and that will have implications for the corporate sector’s earnings situation.”
Felix Zulauf, head of Swiss hedge fund Zulauf Asset Management
HW: Or the reverse!
“The U.S. economy is in good shape in the spring of 2019.”
Gus Faucher, chief economist, PNC Financial Services
HW: Especially on a relative global basis.
"Global debt is a big problem."
Rick Rule, CEO, Sprott US Holdings
HW: I agree.
5. Now Is the Right Time to Turn Cautious on the Stock Market
Trump Is The Wild Card In Oil Markets
READER: "Tomorrow (5/1) may not be a good day for puts."
HW: No -The BEST time to BUY puts is when it seems nothing can stop the market from going up! - IF our prediction is correct, that is!
