Be Water, My Friend!
by Jeffrey Saut of Raymond James, 6/2/10
As the old sailor's axiom states, you can't change the direction of the wind, but you can adjust the sails. Clearly, the stock market's 'winds' have been in a downdraft. Last month was the worst May for the S&P 500 since 1962. Granted, the May Melt could have been worse if the SPX had stayed at last Tuesday's low of 1040.78, but most oversold indicators are about as compressed as they ever get. This week markets will have to deal with yet another disappointment after BP's failed top-kill operation in the Gulf. The best strategy now is thus defense, until the 'sell signal' reverses.

Real GDP rose at a 3.0% annual rate in the revised estimate for Q1, down from 3.2% in the advance estimate, although the story didn't change much. This was the third consecutive quarterly increase in real GDP. More importantly, the economy appears to be transitioning to a more sustainable recovery, less reliant on the shift in inventories and the government's fiscal stimulus, and supported more by consumer and business demand. Job growth, a key element in a sustainable economic recovery, has returned. Unfortunately, the economy still faces a number of headwinds in the near term.
