Money Life With Chuck Jaffe Daily Podcast

Sam Stewart, founder of the Wasatch Funds, now with Seven Canyon Advisors said that for all of the market's volatility and histrionics in October, it was simple business as usual, and that we're now living in a Goldilocks situation with the Federal reserve trying to get interest rates just right to avoid making the market too volatile in response.

Three years ago, Charles Rotblut of AAII Journal made Deckers Outdoor Corp.his 'Stock of the Week,' three years after the last time he featured the stock.

Jon Adams, senior investment strategist at BMO Global Asset Management said that if the Federal Reserve can 'thread the needle' managing interest rates and inflation, there's no reason for the current economic cycle to end in the next year or so, and he expects to remain bullish and overweight stocks -- particularly domestic stocks -- until the market and economy are signalling that real change is coming. Also, Jimmy Hausberg and Michael Sheldon of HighTower Advisors discussed the factors currently affectin

Charles Rotblut, editor of AAII Journal, said that Genomic Health Inc. -- an evolving diagnostic-testing firm that recently turned its first profit -- is the Stock of the Week, having just been added to one of the Journal's key portfolios after outperforming 98 percent of all stocks over the last six months.

Frits Folts, chief inveestment strategist at 3Edge Asset Management said that he expects the stock market to have one more melt-up -- a rebound back to recent highs -- that could even be a dramatic pop, but that any increase will be followed by a downturn. He took a 'not overly bullish' equity outlook and combined it with an even less-bullish take on bonds, suggesting investors should think of cash as an alternative investment for the time being. Also on the show, David Trainer of New Constructs rips apart

In a show featuring experts with divergent opinions, Mona Mahajan of Allianz Global Investors said the market will see increased volatility, sector rotation -- with strength in consumer staples and health care -- but generally a continued upward trend for the next year, while Avi Gilburt of Elliott Wave Trader said that the market, after rallying back to a level of recent highs, is due for a significant fall, perhaps as much as 25 percent in what could be a steep decline to end the bull market. Jack Ablin o

Michael Mullaney, director of global research at Boston Partenrs, said that the stock market has gone into a gray zone, a transitional period where fiscal stimulus has not kicked in -- though it should down the line -- and the effects of tightening money are being felt more.

Also, Charles Rotblut of AAII Jour

William Smead, manager of the Smead Value Fund, said in the Market Call that the popular companies of the next 10 years will be those that make money from the creation and establishment of households, as the millennial generation has families and starts raising kids.

But two interviews with technical analysts offered different opinions. Lawrence McMillan of McMillan Analysis said he is bearish but believes the market has become oversold and is due for a bounce, though he expects it to fall lower once the pop ends,

Charles Biderman, founder of Trim Tabs Investment Research, said he has gone half to cash in his own portfolio and he would urge investors to get more defensive for as long as interest rates are rising, saying that we could see a decent economy but still watch the stock market decline by 30 percent or more.

Jeffrey Cleveland, chief economist at Payden and Rygel noted that for all of the volatility that has been evident in October, the economy remains in its 112th month of expansion, and that he expects it to break the record of 120 months, meaning the current economic cycle is maybe showing signs of some weakening, but not of ending just yet.

Dan Zanger, chief technical analyst at ChartPattern.com, said he expects the market to re-test the lows it set during the first 10 trading days of October and potentially head much lower, staying in the doldrums at least through the mid-term elections before any potential rally.

Also on the show, Patrick Wood of Tormont Group discusses how investors can safely find an edge to investing in cannabis st

Doug Roberts of Channel Capital Research says that the stock market's recent spike in volatility and big decline at the start of October had all of the hallmarks of a correction, in that it appeared out of nowhere, was very scary and seemed to be triggered by fear of an event rather than an actual event. While something worse could be coming in time, Roberts did not see that kind of event happening until 2019 at the earliest. Also on the show, Tom Lydon of ETFTrends.com discussed tail risk -- and how to pro
