Productivity Data Kills The Rally
Please click here for a chart of S&P 500 ETF (SPY) which represents the benchmark stock market index S&P 500 (SPX).
Note the following:
- In the Morning Capable we wrote,
A Shocker
Productivity-Prelim came at -7.5% vs. -2.8% consensus. This is a shocking piece of new data. In the past, the U.S. has overcome difficult circumstances because of rising productivity. This time productivity is falling by a shocking amount.
- We have previously warned you that stagflation was the single most significant important threat to your portfolio. We have previously written that all investors should increase their knowledge about stagflation. Lately we have been providing you with information to increase your knowledge about stagflation, such as this chart of Dow Jones Industrial Average from 1967 – 1982. You have already seen several changes to the Model Portfolios. You will be getting many new short term trades as the signals are given. Based on your requests, we have also started a podcast series on stagflation for those who want next level information.
- The productivity data this morning was the first solid piece of evidence strengthening the case that stagflation may be coming.
- Stagflation, if it occurs, will provide significant opportunities to profit, but investors will need to follow a strategy different from what they are used to over the last 13 years.
- The chart shows when the productivity data was released.
- The chart shows that ever since the productivity data was released, the market has been going downhill.
- It is not only the stock market, but long bonds are being aggressively sold.
- It is very difficult for those who have followed the traditional Wall Street approach of a 60/40 portfolio. In such a portfolio 60% is allocated to equities and 40% to bonds. The allocation to bonds is supposed to hedge losses in stocks.
- Now, both stocks and bonds are experiencing huge losses.
- Those who believed bonds could act as a hedge have clearly been wrong.
- The Arora Report envisioned the scenario ahead of time in which stocks would lose money and bonds would lose money. This is the reason that The Arora Report helped its members transition to cash and Treasury bills from long bonds well ahead of this carnage.
- The foregoing is a remarkable achievement and one of the best calls because the bench market for protection bands is a 60/40 portfolio.
- The VUD indicator is the most sensitive measure of net supply demand in real-time. The orange represents net supply and the green represents net demand.
- The VUD indicator is solid orange, indicating net supply of stocks.
