Why Markets Say a Crash is Coming

Liberals can’t stop fawning over Kamala Harris, even though she has the lowest favorability rating of a vice president in history. Now, the Fed has her back, hinting at a well-timed rate cut next month, just before elections get underway. Here's what the CNBC cheerleaders won't tell you: This rally is more artificial than Harris’s list of accomplishments. People see the S&P 500 popping and assume all is well. Yet, there are some obvious signs of concern if you look just one layer down. We’ll explain what those are, how to read them, and the best strategies for utilizing them.

Millionaires will be minted overnight.” [He’s revealing EVERYTHING here.]( [Click Here to Read More...]( A One Stock Market Six stocks make up nearly a third of the entire S&P 500 index, as do technology stocks in general. As the most valuable company in the world, Nvidia makes up a whopping 6.2%. To give you a sense of how massive this company is, the +10% jump it had last Wednesday added $300 billion in market capitalization. There are only 26 companies in the S&P 500 with market caps over $300 billion. That one day move was the equivalent of creating the entire Coca-Cola company! While it’s always been touted as the best index, the S&P 500 no longer offers the diversification it once did. That’s great so long as Nvidia keeps running higher. But we all know how that story will end. You can see this concentrated risk by looking at the performance of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY) exchange-traded fund (ETF) when compared to the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (NYSEARCA: RSP) ETF, the latter of which is an equal-weighted S&P 500 ETF. From the top of the market in July to the bottom, the SPY fell 4.9%. The RSP fell just 3.2%. That’s why investing in the S&P 500 isn’t as straightforward as it used to be. However, as well explain a bit later, you can use this excess volatility to generate regular daily payouts with [just one trade a day on the SPY.]( Sponsored Content [Free 23-page book shares my #1 indicator to use]( I've used this indicator since 1997. It's not a 10-day, 20-day, 200-day moving average. You would've successfully bought Apple in early May after it dropped. Then, as it topped out, the #1 indicator would alert you to stop buying. It's really incredible. Even better, it's 100% free to use. You won't believe how easy it is to know when to buy and sell with it.

Nvidia is an incredible story full of immense promise. Yet, no company has EVER maintained growth at the indefinite rates implied by the company’s share price. And with the Fed set to cut rates, money is likely to flow into less profitable growth stories, rotating out of the current winners. That’s why we’re seeing the S&P 500 volatility index (a.k.a. the VIX) sit at elevated levels. The VIX is a measure of option demand on the S&P 500 index, which are expensive. Generally, institutions will buy puts on the index to hedge their stock portfolio. This causes the VIX and the stock market to move in opposite directions. It’s also important to note that the VIX is mean-reverting. So, the further it moves away from the average, the more likely it is to snap back. You can see what we mean in the weekly chart below: Source: Stockcharts.com When markets crashed back in 2020, the VIX shot up to 80, levels that hadn’t been seen since the Great Recession. It remained elevated, as did overall volatility for more than two years. It’s only been within the past year we’ve seen things calm down. However, we’re now at a point where the VIX is moving higher, but so is the market. Source: Stockcharts.com Naturally, one of these two is wrong. We know for sure that the VIX is telling us loud and clear that we should expect volatility. You only have to look at Thursday’s massive drop to confirm this as fact. Considering the market is being driven largely by a few tech companies, several of which got pummeled after their earnings releases, we’re leaning on the VIX being correct. Now, we’re going to share a secret most folks don’t know about. You can use the VIX to locate market bottoms simply by looking at whether the VIX has made a top. No, there isn’t a clear definition of what a top or bottom will look like. However, if you see large red candles in the VIX appear for a few days in a row, there’s a good chance there’s at least a temporary floor in place. And once the VIX starts to move back into its previous range, around 12-14, then you know that big money players are confident enough in the market to remove their hedges.

[Hugh Grossman’s Daily Payout Plan]( takes advantage of these wild market swings, allowing you to potentially rake in gains whether stocks are soaring or plummeting.
