SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust

SPY tracks a market cap-weighted index of US large- and mid-cap stocks selected by the S&P Committee.

The bounce in the SPY failed to break out above the downtrend, and created sell signals as price now tests support. Uncertainty in Israel and Ukraine, along with the Fed's bearish tone and other negative factors, contributed to the market's sell signals. Strong support at $416 to $420 so I expect a technical bounce. I think the market will decline slowly for a soft landing, with bounces to test the downtrend.

SPY is experiencing a short-term bounce but faces downtrends on daily and weekly charts. Good earnings and holiday spending may temporarily boost the market, but long-term outlook determines the next move in the market. Downtrend signals suggest a bear market, and a soft landing in 2024 may not be enough to change this trend.

September was the worst month for equities in 2023, but that's simply creating buying opportunities for the long-term investor. I added to four different positions in my CEF portfolio this month, though they are all familiar names that I've already owned. The theme this month was once again avoiding taking on leveraged funds, and none of the four funds take on any leverage in the form of borrowings.

Seeking Alpha's quant computer ranking tool identifies Amazon, NVIDIA, Tesla, Eli Lilly, and Visa as the most overvalued mega-cap stocks. Earnings, EBITDA, book value, and dividend yields as value backstops are lacking for prudent investors at current price levels. If a recession is next, I fully expect these 5 stocks as a group to both underperform the S&P 500 index and strip investors of considerable wealth.
