It's been nearly three decades since Howard Capital Management developed a proprietary indicator, called the HCM-BuyLine, to help protect client assets. This tool overlays all separately managed portfolios, as well as proprietary Mutual Funds and ETFs in an effort to keep assets on the right side of the market. The HCM-BuyLine is based on a proprietary calculation of the strength of the market derived from the ratio of new highs to new lows on the New York and Nasdaq stock exchanges. The tool uses trend analysis – moving averages – to help identify the broad trend in the equity market and determine when to be in or out of the market.

Vance Howard, the founder and CEO of Howard Capital Management, discusses his investing outlook in 2026, the impact of recent US military action in Venezuela, and how to respond to key market trends based on the HCM-BuyLine. Vance speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.

President Donald Trump said he would move to ban institutional investors from buying single-family homes, part of a push to address housing affordability ahead of this year’s midterm elections.
“People live in homes, not corporations,” Trump said in a social media post Wednesday announcing the effort, adding that he would expound on the plan at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, later this month.
The news sent shares of homebuilders, including Toll Brothers Inc., Invitation Homes Inc., KB Home and PulteGroup Inc., down. Shares of Blackstone Inc. — a major investor in single-family homes in the US —fell by as much as 9.3%, though later pared some of those losses.
The initiative comes after Trump’s allies have repeatedly raised alarms that affordability has become a political albatross for the GOP heading into the November elections. Trump urged Republican lawmakers Tuesday to avoid losing control of the House this year, saying it would lead to his impeachment. There’s reason for the White House’s concern: Just 36% of Americans said they approved of Trump’s job performance in a Gallup poll released in December, about 2 percentage points higher than his personal low before his first term ended in January 2021. Nearly half of adults described current economic conditions as “poor.”
Today's show features:
Bloomberg Intelligence Senior REITs and Commercial Real Estate Analyst Jeffrey Langbaum on President Donald Trump’s move to ban institutional investors from buying single-family homes
Bloomberg News Corporate and Economic Statecraft Reporter Joe Deaux on the US seizure of a Russia-flagged ship and renewed concerns about potential action toward Greenland

A small fleet of ships booked by Chevron Corp. is sailing to Venezuela as the company emerges as the only exporter of the country’s oil following the ouster of President Nicolas Maduro by US forces.
Chevron is poised to export more Venezuelan oil this month than last, with at least 11 ships scheduled to arrive in the Venezuelan government-controlled ports of Jose and Bajo Grande, according to preliminary data compiled by Bloomberg.

All eyes are on the Houston-based company to see if it will begin shipping out more Venezuelan crude after US President Donald Trump said he wanted “total access” to the country’s vast reserves. Chevron is the only Western firm allowed to produce and export crude oil in Venezuela amid American sanctions and it operates under a license granted by the Treasury Department. It is responsible for nearly 25% of the nation’s production and oversees the crude through delivery to fuel-makers in the US Gulf and East Coast markets.

Today's show features:
Peter Tchir, Head of Macro Strategy at Academy Securities, on the market impact of the US military action in Venezuela and removal of Nicolas Maduro
Bloomberg News Cross-Asset Reporter Denitsa Tsekova and Bloomberg News Financial Regulation Reporter Lydia Beyoud on the Bloomberg Big Take on the prediction market boom
David Royal, Chief Financial & Investment Officer at Thrivent, on the 2026 investing outlook, the oil market, and the situation in Venezuela
Christina Lee, Co-portfolio Manager for US Private Debt strategy at Oaktree Capital Management, on the M&A outlook and key credit market trends to watch
