Hey There Income Hunters,

I’m a huge Mets fan — and just a huge baseball fan, in general.

Opening Day is always one of the most exciting events of the year for me — and it did not disappoint yesterday.

Yes, I know, the Mets and Nationals were postponed due to Covid, but I’m just that big a fan of the Game.

Anyway, the unspoiled hope and promise this year was doubled because — as longtime readers know — I’ve been saying that we’re heading into the Best Quarter Ever … thanks to incredible government cash flows and the vaccine rollout spurring a recovering economy.

As for the Mets, with new owner Steve Cohen at the controls, we’re making incredible progress, including locking up All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor to a reported 10-year, $341 million deal — news that made up for the delay.

Meanwhile, the market hit a grand slam — with the S&P 500 finishing over 4,000 for the first time in history …

PLUS …

One sector performed in a way I never thought it would.

The Highlight Package

In addition to the S&P 500 closing above 4,000 for the first time, here are a few of the other highlights from Opening Day …

• SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (Ticker: SPY) closed over 400.

• NASDAQ (Ticker: NDX) rose another 1.8%.

• Oil traded down to 58.80 after an increase in production report — and still rallies to 61.38, closing UP 3.5%.

• And a personal favorite … GLD completes a two-day, 2.5% rally on good volume.

However, the most extraordinary performance of the day has to go to iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond (Ticker:TLT) …

It was up 1.5% with the 10-year yield dropping to 1.67% — in spite of sky-high prices …

For example, the median price of a home nationally has risen 16% from last year, according to the National Association of Realtors.

Elsewhere, used car prices have reached an all-time high — up 10.5% from last year — per Cox Automotive.

Finally, my Chart of the Day has to go to SPY … I said earlier this week we would see 403 by the end of the month … 

However now I think I may be low!

Check this out …

The top of the channel doesn’t come in until around 408. Plus, look at the last 6 days of volume … 

There must be barrels of cash on the sidelines looking to be invested.

Bring It Home

I can only dream the Mets will get off to as good a start as the market once they start playing.

On the bright side, the Amazins remain undefeated!

Enjoy the long weekend everyone and Happy Easter

As always …
