Are We Near the Bottom?

(5/9/22) Concerns over Fed speakers and Inflation numbers releases this week, as markets begin trading deep in the red; will we see inflation's peak--and with that, a softer stance by the Fed? Markets are starting the week down three standard-deviations from the 50-DMA. Professional, Retail, and Positioning sentiment are all quite pessimistic across the board; technical indicators are over-sold on virtually every level. At this point, it's extremely important to not allow emotions to take hold of your investing decisions and push you into a position of forced selling. If you're not happy about where your portfolio is right now, you've got an allocation problem; use the coming reflexive rally to sell off positions of weakness, and to balance the risk in your portfolio. If you sell today, keep in mind--markets could dip lower down to the 3900 level. That's likely to be short-lived, as evidence by market performance shortly after the invasion of Ukraine, and the sell-off following January's peak. At each such event, markets had a nice reflexive rally, and appear to be similarly setting up for the same thing again. Emotional selling opportunities tend to be traps for investors.
