Lance Roberts' Best Bets for Investing Today

(4/21/22) The Major Cap companies' earnings reports are just part of the overall investing picture. The S&P is setting up to rally to previous highs, but because the Fed is about to start hiking rates, we're expecting continued pressure on equity prices. The NASDAQ is over-sold, like the S&P, but still trading below its 50-DMA. Tech stocks have been under more pressure, lately. A lift to the S&P will also drag the NASDAQ up, as well. Disinflationary pressure in the economy will also lead to a rotation back into growth stocks, which tend to do better in a disinflationary environment. Small-Cap stocks are the most-impacted by slower economic growth, higher interest rates, and inflation; subsequently, these have been really under-performing the larger-cap indexes. Small-Caps are about half-way through the cycle from over-sold to over-bought, and have shown improved performance. Long-term trends have not been favorable. Mid-Caps look almost identical to Small-Caps--a lot of under-performance relative to the S&P. Emerging Markets continue to be under pressure from slower economic growth, inflation, and the war in Ukraine. Use any bounce here to reduce your exposure.
