Lately, it’s been pretty quiet on the trading front…
With the Dow nearing all-time highs, the S&P following suit, and the NASDAQ is on an even bigger rip – it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement right now.
But truth be told, one of the worst mistakes a trader can make is getting too comfortable…
And this warning could change everything….
Here’s what you need to know…
Here’s How to Save Yours…
Major U.S. companies are nearing their “blackout” period – and that’s a huge deal – here’s why:
A “blackout period” is when most companies and corporate insiders are banned from repurchasing their own shares in the month before the company releases their quarterly results.
And while this seems to be something minor – in reality, this time period could remove a steady and unrecognized factor that has been guiding the market. These buybacks have been pushing the market, providing a nice support for equity prices.
Goldman Sachs (GS), one of the largest investment banks in America, reported that companies spent over $384 billion on buybacks alone in the first half of the year. That’s up 48% from last year.
These constant buybacks provided support and stability for the market. But with the blackout dates rapidly approaching, that measure of support will be gone – almost like pulling the rug out from under the market.
And history backs this notion as this wouldn’t be the first time the market has felt this shift and declined shortly after. Even in February of this year, many contributed the “blackout dates” to the wave of selloffs the market faced.
Now, there are four blackout months in a calendar year. But since each company releases its results on its own time – the blackout periods don’t always like up. However, currently, around 18% of companies in the S&P are currently in a blackout period. And it’s predicted that this number will rise to 86% by October 5. Now – imagine the volatility that will come. It could derail most investors
But you don’t have to sweat this impending crash – because my Money Calendar plans for even the worst volatility and executes triple-digit winners regardless of political talk, blackout dates, or anything else that is thrown at the market.
Picture this come Monday morning…
You wake up to the markets in the red. The talking heads on the financial news networks are pointing fingers at the cause – uncertainty from Washington D.C., tariff wars, FANG – and you immediately run to check your portfolio…
