Blog : Mandatory: Worst May Be Over for Stocks

by Peter Leeds on October 1st, 2015

 
The worst may be over for stocks.  
 
We warned of several major problems with the markets months ago, and events have played out exactly as we expected.  
 
Now, it may be time to change our tune, and start taking advantage of the hoards of panicking investors, and oceans of highly oversold shares.
 
Here is just a sample of some of our warnings about the economic weakness we made months ago.  It stands to reason that if anyone had been paying attention, they would have saved thousands and avoided this whole mess just like Peter Leeds has:
 
 
 
 
 
 
Now our outlook is shifting towards the ridiculous bargains which are surrounding us all.  Some stocks will continue to fall, some sectors will remain weak for a long time, but there are specific stocks which are going to do great, and quickly.  Peter Leeds and his team are having a field day tearing into many of these, and posting them to subscribers.
 
If a medium term market bottom is indeed the case, it means this is the perfect time to scoop up some bargains before they move back to higher prices.
 
One thing is for sure - the market will start to recover before the masses expect it to.  This is always the way things play out.  In fact, it is usually the initial recovery which gets investors off the sidelines, but by then they've missed the bulk of the early snap-back gains.
 
Tomorrow's (Friday's) jobs report will be a very significant one, but the information is a lagging indicator (as Peter explains here).  This means it won't demonstrate where we are heading, only where we have been.
 
Even so, the market will react strongly to it, either negatively or positively, and it may set back the potential recovery by several weeks.
 
No matter if the recovery has just begun, or appears in the near future, we believe we are closer to a bottom than a top.  
 
Our outlook for the coming months, into the fourth quarter of 2015, is for some good gains across all indexes.
 
Keep in mind, this is different than "trying to pick a bottom," which is one of the cardinal sins to investing.  We aren't changing our tune to try and catch the absolute bottom in shares, rather we are watching dozens of metrics and (unlike months ago) they are telling a different story.  
 
The analysis is pointing to oversold situations, capitulation (as Peter explains here), and reactions to negative events which have now been widely and publicly factored into share prices.  The market weakness has decreased some of our main warning indicators, such as the Q Ratio (which Peter explains at the bottom of this page) declining from 1.09 to 1.03.  
 
The velocity of money (which we explained and warned about here) seems to be holding up well, and consumer spending, business jobs, and manufacturing data is strong enough to imply that current levels in most industries represent bargain opportunities.
