13,000 Thursday – Nasdaq in Critical Territory

13,146.    That's the 50-day moving average on the Nasdaq that we need to cross back over by tomorrow or it's likely the Nasdaq continues to correct back to the 200-day moving average at 11,721, which would be 10% down from where it is now.  Since we know the Nasdaq is ridiculously over-valued, the 10% down scenario is a lot more likely than the resume the rally scenario. Sure we just got $1.9Tn to play with but we knew we were getting that since November, when the Nasdaq was at 11,000.  $1.9Tn is 10% of our GDP and 11,000 + 10% is 12,100, not 13,146, which is 10% too high. Everything is Awesome again – just like it was in 2007 and do you know what else is just like 2007?  Refinancing!  That's right, American Homeowners cashed out $152.7Bn of home equity last year , up 42% from 2019 and the highest level of withdrawals since 2007, although 2005, 6 and 7 were actually $262Bn, $320Bn and $240Bn respectively – so we're not there yet.  Still, as we now know in retrospect – people using their home equity as a piggy bank does not tend to end well, does it? We're still on a stimulus high, of course and the Dow is at an all-time high at 32,300 but it's more like 32,400 in the Futures along with S&P 3,925 and Russell 2,305 and we'll be betting against them into the weekend so don't miss tomorrow's Short-Term Portfolio Review.  Considering the all-time highs, the STP is holdiing up remarkably well ( see yesterday's Live Trading Webinar for my notes ) but that's because our key shorts were TSLA and QQQ, which worked out very well for us and we even cashed out our Tesla shorts this week – another reason we need to adjust the STP.     IN PROGRESS
