Leibovit Negative Volume Reversals ™ formed in most major indexes.

Trend remains lower
BLK, one of my bellwether’s turned down on Groundhog day and has not looked back.
The big indexes fought the downtrend from all the “Buy the Dippers”
Until the markets can get out of the trading range from mid November to current, it will frustrate both the bulls and bears, unless you have an S on your shirt like superman, but in this instance, it is meant for “Super Nimble” and are able to take advantage of short term guerilla tactics.

Gold is overbought and is due a pullback and higher prices again. Same goes for silver, especially, ETF AGQ.
Crude oil has fizzled out. Uranium ETF’s and stocks are following crude oil’s lead.
Natural Gas has been strong. One of the lesser followed SWN, has been strong, watch for a possible long position.
Bitcoin continues its correction. Everyone is trying to rationalize its price movements.

AIQ has both main indexes Dow Industrials and Nasdaq Composite on confirmed strong down signals. The 10, 49 exponential Price Oscillator is getting close to going negative. If it does that momentum would be likely to pick up on the downside.

This week is month end window dressing week and into March. If Month end stays weak, it does not portend for a good month of March.

The big story this week is NVDA Earnings released on Wednesday after the close. Jensen’s character is that he will be bullish and positive. One analyst pointed out that CapEx spending is less that what is being communicated, in the details. In the meantime, NVDA is headed lower.

Spring Vernal Equinox is March 20, which can be a turning point.

Eyes will be on PCE Index this Friday, 8:30 a.m.

Defense stocks have been weak recently for a couple of reasons, DOGE looking for cost savings and cuts and the other factor is Trump ending the wars, Ukraine and mid-East. If Trump can bring peace, some of defense sector could have further
DIS has been holding up in the market decline, which is a good sign.

The Plunge Protection Team Explained

What is the Plunge Protection Team?

The Plunge Protection Team (PPT) is an informal term for the Working Group on Financial Markets. The working group was created in 1988 by then U.S President Ronald Reagan following the infamous October 1987 Black Monday market crash. It was formed to re-establish consumer confidence and take steps to achieve economic and market stability in the aftermath of the market crash. The U.S president consults with the team during times of economic uncertainty and turbulence in the markets.

The Working Group on Financial Markets’ informal name “Plunge Protection Team” was coined and popularized by The Washington Post in 1997.

What does the Plunge Protection Team Do?

The Plunge Protection Team was initially formed to advise the president and regulatory agencies on countering the negative impacts of the stock market crash of 1987. However, the team has continued to report to various presidents since that stock market crash and has met various U.S presidents on important financial matters over the years.

The team was believed to be behind the rally in the stock market shortly after a hefty drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) on February 05, 2018. As per some market observers, after the plunge, the market made a smart recovery in the following days, which may have been a result of heavy buying by the Plunge Protection Team.

Who is on the plunge protection team?

The Plunge Protection Team comprises several top government economic and financial officials. The Secretary of the Treasury heads the group, while the Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, the Chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and the Chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, are also part of the team.

Why is the PPT secretive?

The Plunge Protection Team’s meetings or activities aren’t covered by the media, which gives rise to speculations and conspiracy theories about the team. The probable reason behind the secretive nature of its activities is that it reports only to the president. Some observers opine that the team’s role is not only limited to giving recommendations to the president; rather, the team intervenes in the market and artificially props up stock prices.

Critics of the group claim that the members connive with big banks and profit from stock markets by carrying out trades on different stock exchanges when prices decline. They then artificially prop up the prices as part of their market stabilization efforts and profit from their transactions.

When does/have the PPT meet?

Although very little has come out in the mainstream media about the group’s activities, there have been some instances when the team’s meetings were reported. For example, in 1999, the team proposed to congress to incorporate some changes in the derivatives markets regulations. The last reported meeting of the group, at the time of this writing in June 2022, was in December 2018 when Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin headed the teleconference with the group’s members. Representatives from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Comptroller of the Currency also attended the meeting.

Before the teleconference that took place on December 24, 2018, the S&P 500 and the DJIA had been under pressure for the whole month. But after Christmas, the DJIA and the S&P 500 both recovered and reversed most of the losses in the next few days. Conspiracy theorists attribute the recovery and gains in the indices to the intervention by the Plunge Protection Team.

Final Thoughts

The Working Group on Financial Markets serves an important function: to advise the president on financial markets and economic affairs. Because the exact nature of the group’s activities or recommendations haven’t been made public, some critics of the group blame the group for market intervention and artificially propping up stocks’ prices. However, some market observers believe that the team’s quiet activities are excused as it reports directly to the president.

GATA CHRIS POWELL PRSENTATION – NOV 2024

The Walt Disney Company has been criticized (MYSELF INCLUDED) for its “woke” content and has faced backlash from conservative politicians and social media voices. Some of the criticisms include:

  • Donations to LGBTQIA+ organizations

    Some shareholders have argued that Disney’s donations to organizations that serve the LGBTQIA+ community are “extreme pursuits” that ignore the beliefs of most Americans.

  • Inclusion of LGBTQ+ characters

    Some critics have taken issue with Disney’s inclusion of LGBTQ+ characters and elements in stories, such as a same-sex kiss in Lightyear and a nonbinary character in Elemental.

  • Black Ariel in Little Mermaid

    Some critics have taken issue with the inclusion of a Black Ariel in the recent Little Mermaid.

  • Economic and reputational consequences

    Some claim that Disney’s “woke virtue signaling” has had economic and reputational consequences, with Disney’s market cap falling nearly 40% since February 2021.

In response to these criticisms, Disney CEO Bob Iger has said that:

  • Disney’s biggest priority is entertaining audiences

  • Disney is focused on the future, not the past

  • Disney needs to be more sensitive to the interest of a broad audience

  • Disney’s primary mission is to entertain and then have a positive impact on the world through entertainment
