Weekly Market Update for August 11, 2023, from DeWayne Hall: Stock indexes have potential as market rally slows

Same song, third verse. 

We’ve been saying ad-nauseam that we believe the U.S. stock market is approaching the closing stages of an impressive ten-month bear market rally, and stock indexes will soon be rolling over as we race toward the backside of 2023.

Stock indexes continue to show potential

We can still see the potential for an additional 5% upside in the stock indexes if all goes well, but the eventual downside could and should far outweigh that. 

Now don’t get us wrong, we’re still net long for now but are seeing some success on the short side as of late, which is telling. We aren’t playing large enough to hurt ourselves either way and will hoard our cash until the new trend emerges.
