ShepWave Pre-Market / Intra Day Update for Friday Published. Most Recent TIME-CYCLE TURN DATE ...FLAWLES, SO Far!
by ShepWave.com
Posted: 9/6/2018 23:12 EST

ShepWave has received many emails commenting on the fact that: so far the expectations we had for the most recent TIME-CYCLE TURN TIME period have  turned out nicely. But it is too early to make any more projections based on the anticipated action so-far. We are still in a period of time coming up when we have seasonal, political, and risk/reward factors coming into play in a new way.

The recent market action has been predictable--as well as what would be expected if a critical market set-up is in process. NOTICE--even the Russell 2000 index gave us an overthrow (as anticipated) of the key trend line as we have been showing in the 60 minute time frame. Also--the $RUT index finally made a new all-time high!  BE READY FOR WHAT IS NEXT!

Again--You JUST CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!

Be careful--this was too easy in a sense. We have some new factors coming into play. Now is not the time to be a sloppy trader.

Pay close attention to new trend lines and the short-to-mid term signals we will be watching next.

STAY OBJECTIVE!

Dreaming of a "Comfortable Retirement" on a Public Pension?
A 9-year bull market fails to close the pension gap

By Elliott Wave International

Did you realize that many U.S. pension funds are in trouble even though stocks have been rising since 2009?

Even so, many retirees expect a comfortable retirement.

Our March 2018 Elliott Wave Financial Forecast showed this chart and said:

WouldBeRetirees

Over the last 20 years, [a University of Michigan] poll asked the following question every month: "Compared to five years ago, do you think the chances that you will have a comfortable retirement have gone up, gone down or remained about the same?" Considering that the line between a better and worse retirement is a reading of 100, consumers have been mostly glum about their retirement prospects since the record optimistic extreme of 123 in November 2000.... After stocks had been rising for five years... the survey's results pushed to a high of 105 in February 2007.... The chart shows retirees' negative responses as stocks crashed in 2008 and early 2009....

In March of 2017, retirees finally capitulated once again to the uptrend in share prices by registering a response of 104.... Last month, the survey even pushed to a 17-year extreme of 109.

A big reason why the hopes of retirees may be sorely misplaced is that the shortfall in local and state pensions is a staggering $4 trillion, according to Moody's Investors Service.

On July 30, the Wall Street Journal put that figure into perspective:

The Pension Hole for U.S. Cities and States Is the Size of Germany's Economy

Many retirement funds could face insolvency...

As the article notes, a fund covering Chicago municipal employees had less than 30% of what it needed in fiscal year 2017. New Jersey's pension system for state workers is so underfunded that it could go broke in 12 years, according to a Pew Charitable Trusts study.

But, in EWI's view, many public pension systems may become insolvent long before then.

In fact, this is already happening with retirement-age individuals.

On Aug. 5, The New York Times reported:

The rate of people 65 and older filing for bankruptcy is three times what it was in 1991.

With pension funds heavily invested in risk-assets like stocks, imagine the scenario during the next financial downturn.

Our analysts' comments about the stock market's technical picture should be of high interest to every market participant, including those expecting a comfortable retirement.
