Why the stock market might soon careen down a dangerous ‘slope of hope’
Consider the average recommended equity exposure among the Nasdaq-oriented market timers I monitor (as measured by the Hulbert Nasdaq Newsletter Sentiment Index, or HNNSI). Today, in contrast, in the wake of a 17%-plus gain in the S&P 500 (SPX) and a 20%-plus rally in the Nasdaq (COMP) the HNNSI has risen to plus 73%. In other words, as you can see from the accompanying chart, in six weeks’ time this group of short-term stock-market timers has increased their average equity exposure by more than 140 percentage points: Away from being aggressively bearish (recommending that clients allocate three-fourths of their trading portfolios to short-selling) to being almost as aggressively bullish (now recommending that three-fourths of clients’ portfolios be long).

Dow holds on to 300-point gain as Trump announces plan to declare national emergency on border security
The Dow Jones Industrial Average held on to its early gains Friday morning, as President Donald Trump said he would declare a national emergency over security at the U.S.-Mexico border at a news conference in the Rose Garden. The president's plan sets up a potentially nasty fight between GOP and Democrats, as Trump seeks to secure further funds to build a multibillion-dollar wall along the southern border. The Dow was up 350 points, or 1.4%, at 25,786, the S&P 500 index climbed 0.9% at 2,770, while the Nasdaq Composite Index advanced 0.5% to 7,466. The White House said the president planned on allocating $8 billion in funds for a border wall. Legislation that was passed by Congress on Thursday allots about 1.4 billion for border security. The main U.S. benchmarks have been buoyant over persistent hope of a near-term tariff pact between Washington and Beijing, with weeklong talks that ended on Friday, extended to next week. Watch the news conference live.

U.S. and China made 'important progress' in trade talks: Xinhua
The U.S. and China have made "important progress for the current stage" of their trade negotiations after Chinese President Xi Jinping met with U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin in Beijing Friday, the state-run Xinhua reported. President Xi referred to the U.S.-China relationship as among the most important partnerships in the world and therefore, the two countries should maintain healthy and stable ties, according to the Chinese government's official media agency. Xi also said his country is ready to resolve its trade differences with the U.S. through cooperation and reach a deal that is acceptable to both sides. U.S. and Chinese negotiators are scheduled to meet again next week in Washington D.C. in a bid to hammer out an agreement ahead of the March 1 deadline. After the date, the U.S. has warned that it could further raise tariffs on Chinese imports although in recent days President Donald Trump has indicated that a grace period is possible if negotiations go well. U.S. stocks rallied on optimism over the bilateral talks with the S&P 500 rising 0.8% to 2,767, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gaining 1.2% to 25,752 and the Nasdaq adding 0.5% to 7,460.
