Reuters•3 hours agoBear or bull? Five reasons to claw or thunder
A sharp pullback in stocks last week, including the S&P 500's (.SPX) biggest single-day drop since a market correction in February, has left investors questioning whether this could signal danger for the longest-ever bull run for U.S. equities. S&P 500 earnings are expected to rise 23.1 percent this year, according to I/B/E/S data from Refinitiv. “If you still think the corporate profit story is intact, you should be owning stocks here,” said Chuck Carlson, chief executive officer at Horizon Investment Services in Hammond, Indiana.

[$$] U.S. Stocks Have Been an Anomaly in Global Markets. Not Anymore.
For months, U.S. stocks powered higher to records while most of the world’s markets crumbled, a divergence that analysts and investors said wouldn’t last. The factors that helped U.S. stocks to solidly outperform other global equity markets this year—a booming tech sector, and seemingly little concern for the pace of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate increases—faded sharply last week, when a sudden selloff left the S&P 500 down 5% for the month. The impact of escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and Chinese governments on the global economy has also hit stocks outside the U.S. hardest.

Trump called the Fed 'crazy,' but here's why an expert says it wont stop future rate hikes
President Donald Trump has gone on the attack against the Federal Reserve , but it's highly unlikely the Fed will listen, at least one market observer says. Last week, Trump amped up his criticism of the Fed by calling its decision to hike rates "crazy" and "out of control." Markets are pricing in another increase in December, in what would be the ninth increase of a tightening cycle that began in late 2015. "Loco, crazy, fake, whatever you want to call it, I think that has zero impact on the Fed," said Michael Schumacher, head of interest rate strategy at Wells Fargo, on CNBC's " Futures Now " Thursday.

Bloomberg•yesterdayBond Traders Eye Fedspeak for Sign of Doubt After Stocks Swings
In the first quarter, the Fed looked past a tumble in the S&P 500 Index to tighten in March. For investors seeking fresh insight into the central bank’s thinking, Randal Quarles, the Fed’s vice chairman of supervision, may garner the most attention when he speaks on the economic outlook Thursday. The tumult in stocks, which pared their losses Friday, has helped reverse a surge in the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield to as high as 3.26 percent, a level last seen in 2011.
Bloomberg•yesterdayJPMorgan Expects `Late-Cycle Vulnerabilities' as Yields Advance
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield should rise steadily into late 2019 because the Federal Reserve will probably hike rates every quarter through the end of next year, strategists led by John Normand wrote in a note Friday. “The bond market’s behavior and its contagion are symptomatic of late-cycle dynamics that will ratchet-up market volatility over the next year, leading most markets but equities to keep underperforming cash,” the strategists wrote. U.S. equities would be challenged by real cash rates in the range of 1 percent to 2 percent because that probably signifies a restrictive monetary policy setting that then weakens the economy and slows earnings growth, the strategists said.

Corporate insiders are giving the stock market the benefit of the doubt, despite the market’s early-October plunge.

It’s possible by slicing and dicing the SEC data to come up with portfolios that, generally, have beaten the market by a significant margin.
