Why Apple’s Earnings Report Was Super Bearish – Daily Stock Analysis

aapl

First, the good news. Amazing quarterly earnings and future growth prospects, the stock is not excessively overpriced (when compared to some other high flyers), Carl Icahn thinks its a no-brainer $200 stock and Apple bulls are laughing at the shorts…. Apple doubters need a do over

And the bad news? Despite all of the above, Apple’s stock price is where it was 2 months ago. Thus far. Unable to break above $120 and suggesting that it might soon close its earnings gap and continue lower. Possibly low enough to re-test $75.

Why is this so significant?

Well, if Apple is breaks down after its blockbuster earnings report, it simply spells doom for the overall market. If strength can go higher, the probability of us already being in a bear market surges exponentially. That’s why.

Faber: Buy Gold And Short Biotech, Social Media

A very good interview with Marc Faber. Definitely worth 5 minutes of your time. Why? Well, Marc believes the FED is starting to lose control, the US economy is rolling over and the stock market is massively overpriced. Particularly sectors such as Biotech and Social Media. He suggests shorting them through ETF’s. And the good news? Gold is about to surge as it becomes the ultimate hedge against today’s currency wars. I mostly agree.

How I Predicted December 26th Top And How This Oil Crash Will Impact The Stock Market

Daily Chart January 30th

1/30/2015 – A big down day with the Dow Jones down 248 points (-1.42) and the Nasdaq down 48 points (1.03%). 

The market continues to perform as anticipated. As the market turned around and surged higher on December 16th, 2014, my subscribers knew exactly what that meant. My mathematical and timing work at the time projected the next tuning point on December 27th at 18,100 (+/- 50 points). The Dow topped out on December 26th at 18,103. Not bad if you ask me.

Since then, the Dow is down -5.2% So, are we about to bounce or is this sell-off just getting started? Click Here to find out.

Now, lets get to oil and what the collapse means for the overall stock market. One of the best technical/fundamental looks at the subject matter that I have seen can be found here Is Oil’s Big Capitulation Sell-Off Still Ahead?  I couldn’t agree more and, once again, that’s the reason why you shouldn’t try to catch a falling knife. Plus, oil might stay at today’s levels for quite some time.

oil5

With that in mind, my primary concern is as follows. This oil price collapse hasn’t yet been felt throughout corporate America and corporate earnings. We will only start seeing that in Q1 of 2015. And by default, in the overall stock market indices. Meaning, a huge number of companies will have to write stuff off or guide lower.

Yes, there will certainly be a positive impact from lower oil prices. Such as higher consumer discretionary spending power and cost savings for a few select companies. Yet, I don’t believe it will be as significant as most financial analyst believe. And as I have suggested a few days ago, the Dow Transportation index is not reacting to any such cost savings Shiller Thinks You Are Scared & What Does The Dow Transports Index Tell Us.

That is to say, I believe the negatives will outweigh the positives by a large margin. Shale development/production is no longer economical. Thousands of companies will default and go out of business. Tens of thousands will lose their high paying jobs. Banks will be impacted. Earnings will be impacted. Junk debt market will blow up. Market caps will be cut in half. And so on and so forth. Will this lead to Trillions in losses in both market and real capital? No one knows just yet. In either case, expect this oil crash to spread through the rest of the economy and capital markets in 2015.

This conclusion is further supported by my mathematical and timing work. It clearly shows a severe bear market between 2014/15-2017. In fact, when it starts it will very quickly retrace most of the gains accrued over the last few years.  If you would be interested in learning when the bear market of 2014/15-2017 will start (to the day) and its internal composition, please CLICK HERE.

Shocking: China’s Collapse Is Accelerating

China Bank Assets InvestWithAlexWe have been talking about China’s “ponzi” economy for well over a year now. Here is just a small sample of our previous work China’s Housing Collapse Is Already In Full Swing. It now appears that China’s massive fraud is beginning to unravels. Consider the news flow.

Here are just a few more bits that should scare the bejeezus out of you.

  • Chinese corporate borrowers owed $14.2 trillion at the end of 2013 Vs $13.1 trillion owed by U.S. corporations.
  • This means that as much as 10 percent of global corporate debt is exposed to the risk of a contraction in China’s informal banking sector.
  • Cash flows and leverage at Chinese corporations are the worst among global peers, having deteriorated from being the best in 2009.

As I have mentioned in the past, most of China’s economic growth over the last 5-6 years has been financed by massive credit expansion. The likes of which we have never seen before. The result? 

  • $21 Trillion Debt Mountain. Roughly the same size as the entire US Banking Sector. It took the US 220 years to get to that number, it took China just 5 years of explosive credit growth.
  • $6 Trillion In Shadow Banking. Actually, no one knows how large this number is. I have read good data/reports putting this number at $10-15 Trillion range.
  • Empty cities, shopping centers, massive speculative bubble in real estate, built out infrastructure, rising cost of labor and export driven economy.

How much longer can this go on? Well, that’s a Trillion dollar question…..or a $40 Trillion dollar question. Apparently, it is already unraveling. Either way, one thing is for sure, this will not end well nor will it end in an orderly fashion.

Are We In A Bear Market Already?

Daily Chart January 29th

1/29/2015 – A positive day with the Dow Jones up 225 points (+1.31%) and the Nasdaq up 45 points (+0.98%). 

A number of articles worth your time today……

I agree with both authors. Here is another good  way to look at today’s market.  As you know, I don’t make it a secret that based on my mathematical and timing work the stock market will compete it’s secular bear market in 2017 (2000-2017).  I have very little doubt about that.

Now, given the upcoming bear leg of 2014/15-2017 do you think it is possible that the Dow will end 2017 below 2007 top of 14,280?

Based on my mathematical work not only it is possible, it is almost a certainty. Yielding another decade of no returns for long-term investors. In other words, given today’s massive valuation levels most investors would be well advised to sell now and go into cash. And while this might not sound as attractive as the stock market gaining 10% this year, it’s a hell of a lot better than taking a 20-40% haircut over the next 2 years.

This conclusion is further supported by my mathematical and timing work. It clearly shows a severe bear market between 2014/15-2017. In fact, when it starts it will very quickly retrace most of the gains accrued over the last few years.  If you would be interested in learning when the bear market of 2014/15-2017 will start (to the day) and its internal composition, please CLICK HERE.
