1. Bear Market vs Market Crash: That is most likely the very best picture to make use of in a textbook to match and distinction a bear market vs a market crash.

And p.s. overlook about that “20% = bear/bull“ b.s., bear markets are a course of, not a p.c change. Present market motion displays removing of stimulus, correction of earlier costly valuations, and total: a transition within the underlying enterprise/monetary cycle.

2. FIFO: Keep watch over China…the Chinese language tech sector principally supplied the playbook for the : first to fall and certain first to backside. From a macro standpoint, China can be many months forward—they by no means actually stimulated that a lot, and truly ran pretty tight financial/fiscal settings final yr. And as such we’d seen important slowing there even earlier than the lockdowns. But in addition wanting additional out, they’re most probably to be first to pivot to stimulus down the monitor too. So keep watch over macro and markets!

3. CPI and PE Ratios: Everybody’s (present) favourite financial knowledge report from the US was out this week and it confirmed annual inflation working at an 8.6% clip.

On this chart that may suggest a P/E ~11x (Present P/E is ~20x).

4. Revenue Pitfalls: Some would possibly have a look at the earlier chart and proffer an announcement corresponding to: “OK, so what if P/E ratios go decrease, a minimum of earnings are rising, proper?”

Factor is, the outlook for income appears precarious if CEO confidence is something to go by… (n.b. income are the “E“ within the P/E ratio: if P/E goes down it will possibly imply that both E went up and P stayed the identical or that P went down and E stayed the identical, but when E goes down and P/E goes down, then that’s the worst forged situation for the P)

6. Family Fairness Allocations: In case you doubt the information within the earlier chart (which the truth is is solely a survey of members of the AAII), right here is the mixture view throughout all US households: fairness allocations are greater than ever earlier than.

7. Futures Positioning: In the meantime the professionals are more and more all-out: “Fairness futures positioning (asset managers and leveraged funds) has now turned internet quick for the primary time because the Brexit shock in **2016**”

(albeit, being futures positioning, there could possibly be some hedging or L/S trades getting combined into this)

Supply: @GunjanJS

8. Power vs Expertise: Everybody was so busying investing in tech and chasing goals of the longer term, we forgot to put money into vitality, and now: outcomes.

To be truthful, I might not count on that these two strains will cross once more any time quickly as such, however undoubtedly count on some additional rotation.

Supply: @Josh_Young_1 @BisonInterests

9. Passive vs Energetic: Corollary to the earlier chart, the push to passive implies that many buyers have been mindlessly drifted into large tech exposures and out of vitality (and supplies for that matter) by advantage of delegating their funding technique to easily “purchase the largest shares“ (a minimum of for passive funds that observe market-cap primarily based indexes).

(albeit, to be truthful lots of energetic funds have been most likely boots into tech/momentum too!)

10. Dividend Progress: Most earnings oriented buyers most likely concentrate on dividend yield, however this chart goes to point out that progress of dividends additionally issues…

BONUS CHART >> bought to incorporate a goody for the goodies who subscribed.

Funding Sentiment Dissonance: this week’s bonus chart is a return traveler, up to date to the most recent. It reveals a large disconnect or dissonance between surveyed investor sentiment and precise portfolio allocations.

Once more, there may be that huge disconnect that makes us ponder: are buyers overreacting of their surveyed evaluation of the outlook, or is investor allocations the following shoe to drop (in different phrases, is there extra promoting to come back because the black line meets the blue line—maybe leaving people feeling a bit black and blue!).

One element although I might level out in passing is that bonds have fallen alongside shares… “usually” when shares are falling bonds are rallying, however not so within the yr 2022 when the whole lot is down aside from money & commodities.

If bonds had rallied, then investor % allocations to equities would naturally get drifted decrease by arithmetic relatively than energetic allocation adjustments as such.

Except for all that, right here is one other very curious chart: this time displaying buyers’ excessive pessimism at odds with financial sentiment (i.e. mixed sign from surveys of customers, small enterprise, house builders, producers, and massive companies).

Nonetheless, one distinction on this chart is that the black line appears to be extra resolutely within the technique of “catching down“ to investor sentiment.

Once more, now we have an open query: are buyers being overly dramatic of their response to surveys, or is a recession proper across the nook?

Reply that query and also you most likely resolve the earlier chart too.
