First, it was a recession. Then it was the sell-America trade. Now it’s TACO: “Trump Always Chickens Out.”

By now, you’ve probably heard about this latest idea that the mainstream media (MSM) has latched onto when reporting on Trump.

It’s so silly that investors can’t even agree on whether it’s bullish or bearish for the market. 

The MSM can’t stick to a single narrative, and that's because they don't know what they're talking about. Instead, they just want to grab your attention.

Increased engagement leads to more clicks. More clicks generate additional ad dollars. And ad dollars keep their fear-mongering machine running.

Don’t let this TACO narrative distract you from the market. Remember what really counts: price.

Price is truth, and it’s telling us the bull market is back!

Let’s take a look...

Insights You Can Trust

The media has been misleading us for their own benefit for hundreds of years. One of the oldest sayings in the newspaper business is “If it bleeds, it leads.”

Unfortunately, their nonsense can cost you real money as an investor.

A logical conclusion from the media narrative in the wake of “Liberation Day” would be to run away from the stock market entirely. And many investors did just that.

If you sat on the sidelines last month, you’d have missed out on one of the strongest months in recent market history. The S&P 500 rallied +6.15% and the Nasdaq was up almost +10%.

Research has shown that missing out on the biggest months in the stock market is the single factor that contributes the most to long-term underperformance.

So, if the media is misleading you for their own benefit, where should you go for quality insights to make you money?

Price Is Truth

It is stunning how often the stock market – and the movement of various technical indicators – is able to predict the future.

We see this happening right now and they’re saying the stock market is going HIGHER.

One of these signals is how quickly the stock market recovered to near its highs after a steep selloff.

Here is a table from one of my favorite research services, Bespoke Investment Group, that shows how the S&P 500 performs after it has sold off at least -15% and then recovered to within 3% of a new all-time high.

This has happened 15 times since 1954 and the S&P 500 has been up every single time six months later. It is also up almost three times the normal amount over that period on average.

Here’s a signal from another great service called SubuTrade.com, showing what happens next when the S&P 500 is +18% over 35 trading days.

This has happened only seven times before and the stock market is also up every single time in six months. Plus, it’s up more than four times the normal move.

Here is one last signal from one of my favorite strategists, Ryan Detrick of Carson Investment, showing what happens after the S&P 500 sees a +5% or greater gain in May.

Since 1950, it is up 100% of the time a year later — and more than double the average return of the stock market over the same period.

I have another dozen or more of these types of signals. They are all saying the same thing…

The stock market is headed higher, regardless of the media’s skepticism about Trump and his tariffs.

So ignore the media snark and focus on price. The market will reward you!
