Afternoon Note

Yield Pulling Back

By Charles Payne, CEO & Principal Analyst
4/1/2021 1:26 PM

The ten-year yield is pulling back today, but it is still in its three-month trading channel that has caused so many problems for technology stocks. 

That pullback is helping Technology, which is the top performing sector in today’s session.  But I think there is more to this rebound than the correlation with bond yields.  Focus on the potential and look over a longer-term horizon to justify certain valuation metrics.

With the market looking at a three-day weekend, it’s intriguing this rally has held today.  Lots of folks are looking for one million net new jobs in tomorrow’s report.  That would be something, but I think it comes in below, which is what we need to keep inflation concerns under wraps. 

Things are going to be great, and it will feel like a party for a while…but only for a while before there is a more normal pace of growth.   I’m more than cool with that if the private sector is allowed to carry the heavy load. 

There will be no reports tomorrow. Have a great holiday weekend.  Be safe and stay well.

Dumb white boy here, who loves your story from nothing to something. Also I agree and with much respect, any person who is not sick can do anything if they want it. When I was very young I picked and sold worms to the people who fished around my city. Grass, shoveling snow, golf caddy, then trade school and at age 24 a legit corporation. Crippled now and forced to unload my businesses in 2019 and it angers me to see anyone who is not sick complaining about finances because the opportunity’s are better then ever in history in my own opinion. I want to work and compete in business so badly and now I find my self jealous over people who can. I am blessed, big time, but I want to work real bad and compete and I can’t find my way now with depression. like a pro athlete who’s career is over and the people are gone and finds themselves alone with no direction. I’m super happy for you young man.
Your story Brother it deserves much respect.
Love you man,
Dumb white boy.

Who drives the bus and who is in which seats on the bus are the major concerns I have about this ARP! Too much Governmental involvement and micro managing for the benefit of cronies will sub optimize the entire process/harken back to the shovel ready programs as proof!
8 years of spending/15 years of increased taxation does not bode well for business nor individuals. Government just keeps getting bigger and more parasitic on the private sector in general and then layer on their irresponsible fiscal policies/management and an financial abyss it in our future! IMHO
