Market Realist•19 minutes agoGold Stocks Look Cheap Compared to the S&P 500—What’s Next?
Along with gold, gold miner stocks (GDX) (NUGT) are also seeing a lot of selling pressure lately. Gold equities are essentially a leveraged play on gold prices and as such, they usually move in the direction of gold prices with greater intensity. On August 15, the VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) has lost 20.0% of its value YTD, almost double the losses seen by the SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD).

Anthem-Walmart partnership will allow seniors cheaper access to OTC drugs, other health products
A new partnership between health insurer Anthem Inc. (ANTM) and pharmacy chain Walmart (WMT) will allow seniors enrolled in Anthem-affiliated Medicare Advantage health plans greater access to over-the-counter medications and other health products at lower out-of-pocket costs. The collaboration, which begins in January, applies to both over-the-counter products and items like first aid supplies, support braces and pain relievers that are sold at Walmart stores and on its website. The companies say they expect this will benefit older adults "who seek more value for their money and a convenient shopping experience," noting that many older adults rely on their Social Security benefit for most of their income.

S&P 500 is now set to break out to new all-time highs
On Friday afternoon, the S&P 500 (SPX) pushed higher to just about complete a 5-wave structure off the lows struck earlier that week. Should we see the ideal structure continue, it would suggest we see another corrective pullback in the coming week that does not break back below 2,806 on the S&P 500, which I have labeled as wave (2). The question then becomes if we will strike our S&P top at 3,011 or 3,225?

Bull market beliefs - Stock experts differ on market cycles
As Wall Street prepares on Wednesday to celebrate the current U.S. bull stock market becoming the longest in history, some investors are keeping corks in their champagne bottles. Not all stock experts will honour the milestone because they use different definitions of bull and bear markets. While one group is widely recognised for determining U.S. economic cycles - the National Bureau of Economic Research - no such body is uniformly accepted for defining bull and bear markets.
