Wednesday was rocky for stocks, something we have been looking for since the beginning of the month. The spike in Treasury yields since mid-September has put a lid on stock prices, and the higher and (more importantly) quicker that yields rise, the more equity investors worry. It is unclear how high yields have to go before they really start to drag down stocks. Besides yields heading straight up, the U.S. Dollar Index has shot up since the latter part of September. If that continues, it can weigh on the results of multinational companies. Just a few weeks ago, everything seemed so perfect -- but a Goldilocks scenario can last only so long. There seems to be a growing expectation that former President Trump may well win the election. Who knows? But many believe a Trump presidency will be more inflationary and will raise the already humongous federal deficit more than a Harris victory. That's bearish for Treasury bonds. But as we have said, stocks historically do well under both parties. On Wednesday, the S&P 500 (SPX) fell 0.9%. The index bounced off its 21-day exponential moving average (EMA) and held its recent breakout area, a short-term positive. Both the Nasdaq and the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) also bounced off their 21-day EMAs, but both lost recent breakout areas. There are some minor worries as the Vortex Indicator is close to turning bearish on the major indices, the 14-day Relative Strength index (RSI) is close to breaking its uptrend, and the 21-day Rate of Change (ROC) is close to turning bearish.

Berkshire Hathaway: Lowering Moat Rating to Narrow From Wide; Raising Fair Value Estimate 9%
Berkshire Hathaway is a holding company with a wide array of subsidiaries engaged in diverse activities. The firm's core business segment is insurance, run primarily through Geico, Berkshire Hathaway Reinsurance Group, and Berkshire Hathaway Primary Group. Berkshire has used the excess cash thrown off from these and its other operations over the years to acquire Burlington Northern Santa Fe (railroad), Berkshire Hathaway Energy (utilities and energy distributors), and the companies that make up its manufacturing, service, and retailing operations (which include five of Berkshire's largest noninsurance pretax earnings generators: Precision Castparts, Lubrizol, Clayton Homes, Marmon, and IMC/ISCAR). The conglomerate is unique in that it is run on a completely decentralized basis.
