Louis Navellier expects a flight to quality after the 10% surge in the S&P 500 during the summer. "Stocks were off fractionally last week, but we closed the summer months (June 21 to September 21) up 10.2% in the S&P 500 and +11.2% in NASDAQ. I don’t think we’ll match those gains in the autumn months - due to new global uncertainties, an election that seems too close to call, and a potential decline in third-quarter earnings - but the silver lining is that there should be a "flight to quality.""

Louis Navellier examines the possibility of further Fed easing after the upcoming September Fed meeting in Jackson Hole, WY. "The market's six-week winning streak came to an end last week with a small (0.5%) drop in the S&P 500. We will likely see one more week of these "dog days" of August, characterized by light trading volume and sideways motion. With the distraction of political conventions over the next two weeks, I suspect that the stock market will continue to meander listlessly until the August payroll report (released September 7), followed by the possibility of QE-3 coming out of the FOMC meeting September 12-13."

Louis Navellier takes a look at the market distractions, productivity in the US and the rise in commodities. "Don't look now, but the S&P 500 rose each day last week and each of the last five weeks. However, I see a mixed market in individual stocks. Some winners are consolidating, while many beaten-down stocks are firming up. Stocks exhibiting the most relative strength are primarily the high-dividend stocks and those providing higher sales guidance, but as the second-quarter earnings announcement season draws to a close, we could see a sideways market on low volume while traders take their late-August hiatus."

Louis Navellier takes a look at dividend paying stocks and how low interest rates are driving them up. "Stocks declined steadily over the first four days of last week, mostly due to lackluster second-quarter earnings reports and growing fears of the impending "fiscal cliff." But on Friday, JPMorgan Chase reported unexpectedly high earnings of $5 billion, despite a $5.8 billion trading loss in May. On that news, the Dow shot up 204 points and the S&P 500 eked out a small (0.16%) weekly gain." Download Full Commmentary Here Get Free Research Reports about Navellier & Associates, Inc.

This week's commentary from Navellier & Associates focuses on the latest jobs report and commodity prices. "Despite sizzling temperatures and Fourth of July fireworks, the stock market cooled down after Friday's payroll report put investors in a bad mood. But most bad news has a silver lining: (1) The world economy is slowing down, but that means lower oil prices and (2) Companies aren't hiring as fast, but their higher productivity could boost earnings. For the week, the Dow Industrials and S&P 500 fell 0.84% and 0.55%, respectively, but the Russell 2000 rose 1.08%, and NASDAQ eked out a 0.08% gain."

Louis Navellier of Navellier & Associates go over why he thinks a stock market correction is coming soon. "The stock market continues to benefit from a tidal wave of buying pressure, as new money keeps flowing into stocks. The S&P 500 and Dow rest at their highest levels since before the 2008 financial crisis, while NASDAQ is trading at an 11-year high. This surge was thought to be impossible last October, when fears of a double-dip recession were dominant. Back then, we called for a strong market recovery. Now, I may be going against the grain again - calling for a short-term correction due to rising oil prices."

With the dramatic events in Europe over the last few days, Louis Navellier is out with a special market update describing what's going on. "What is killing Greece and Italy is that their cumulative budget deficits are larger than the U.S. relative to GDP. When interest rates were low, both Greece and Italy could manage their interest burdens, but now that both countries are characterized by soaring interest rates, they have hit their respective breaking points."

Navellier's third quarter commentary discusses high-frequency trading, S&P 500 earnings, the banking sector and Operation Twist. "In the aftermath of the recent selling capitulation, there are many incredible buying opportunities at hand, especially before another round of positive earnings announcements. We believe aggressive investors should be prepared to deploy capital before the third-quarter earnings announcement season commences. We realize the overall stock market has been worrying over the past quarter. Fortunately, the seasonally strong time of year is fast approaching, and as the holidays arrive, we believe there will be many opportunities for savvy investors."
