The S&P 500 is still up 3.3% year-to-date and hasn’t hit it’s 50-DMA since October of 2019. ,20-DMA =3,323
* 50-DMA = 3,279
* 100-DMA = 3,159
* 200-DMA = 3,041
* Math says…S&P 500 is 3,337-3,041 = 296 points to achieve the 200-DMA. The S&P 500 would decline almost 10% from peak to trough if it achieves the 200-DMA in the coming weeks or months.

The bottom line for this past trading week is pretty simple; U.S. equities had become overbought/extended, peaked over the fence and saw several troubling signs in fixed income and currency markets and started to retreat. 

JPMORGAN: The “greatest threat” to bonds/equities? “Fed success in achieving its inflation overshoot.. [but] history is against this risk scenario developing quickly given that realized inflation has been undershooting consensus expectations for most of the past 15 years ..”

Fund Flows are rebalancing toward defensive & safety…The last 4 times the yield curve inverted, the market rallied for another two years, surging 40% on average. Assuming such a two-year lag from the August inversion before a downturn, the stock market could rise steadily into early next year. Based on the 2yr-10yr yield curve inversion in late August of 2019 and if history does prove relevant in this regard, we might not see a recession until November of 2020, if at all. The dynamics of the current economic cycle don’t match those of its predecessors, for the betterment of the economic cycle. It’s one of the reasons this expansion cycle has proven the longest in history and still going…

THREAD 21FEB20 - VERDAD'S CRISIS INVESTING: MAXIMIZE RETURNS DURING PANIC

1/ Notes on@verdadcap's Crisis Investing: How to Maximize Return During Panics First heard Dan speak on RealVision and very impressed.

mcusercontent.com/6dc62f307511d466ff78a94fe/files/b12058f7-afbd-4078-8604-52c9cbc1b592/Crisis_Investing_Verdad_Advisers_Ebook.01.pdf

2/ Overarching theme: Have cash on hand to invest during crises after high yield spreads hit 6.5% for 3 months. Investments made in small cap value equity with usually free cash flow, and CCC bonds that offer attractive extra yield for risk in the environment.

3/ What is high yield spread? The difference between the borrowing rate for a smaller, less-creditworthy business and the corresponding safe interest rate (US Treasuries). Verdad uses the BAML US High Yield Master II to measure the difference.
