Retail Stocks Review

Those that view the message of the market on daily basis are likely confused by trading noise. While trading noise contributes to the long-term trends, it does not define them. Human behavior tries to explain trading noise as a meaningful trend. This confuses the majority which, in turn, contributes to their role as bagholders of trend transitions.

Retail stocks have been underperforming the boarder market for 20 weeks. The old trading adage "it's not problem until its a problem" says the majority doesn't care. The US economy, a consumption driven trend, says the invisible hand cares, so we watch the trend. Long term trend provides a better perspective on the dangers of an underperforming retail sector. Stock market rallies usually need retail stock leadership. Underpeformance can suggest economic weakness that leads to recession and bear market. It can also suggests a consumption pause, a slow down that doesn't trigger a recession or bear market.
