    "It's Really Broken" - Divergences & Decouplings Dominate Week In Stocks, Bonds, FX
    Distracted much?


    US Macro data dumped this week...

    [​IMG]


    Something odd is going on... VIX is down 6 days in a row but stocks are not playing along...

    [​IMG]


    Bond-Stock correlation collapsed this week...

    [​IMG]



    Stocks and bonds decoupled last week on what appears to have been rate-locks ahead of the large Saudi issuance...

    [​IMG]



    Yuan's collapse overnight hasn't quite rippled through yet... just like last week...

    [​IMG]



    And today saw USD strength and stocks strength...

    [​IMG]



    8 days in a row and the ubiquitous end of day ramp has not occurred (chatter about SEC probes of end of day ETF rebalancing shenanigans remain unconfirmed for now)...

    [​IMG]




    On the week, futures show the craziness, dips bought but lows retested...China session weakness (red arrows)

    [​IMG]



    Trannies ended the week red,, but the rest (even The Dow) managed to scramble back into the green for the weekend...

    [​IMG]



    The USD Index rose for the 3rd straight week led CAD weakness (and EUR)...

    [​IMG]



    Pushing the USD to the highest sicne Feb 2nd and higher on the year...

    [​IMG]



    Bonds rallied all week, with the same systemic pattern and a notable flattening of the curve...

    [​IMG]



    Gold was the week's winner among commodities with silver second, despite dollar strength, as copper and crude slipped...

    Submitted by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com,

    In yesterday’s post, I discussed Howard Mark’s view on being a contrarian. To wit:

    “Resisting – and thereby achieving success as a contrarian – isn’t easy. Things combine to make it difficult; including natural herd tendencies and the pain imposed by being out of step, particularly when momentum invariably makes pro-cyclical actions look correct for a while. (That’s why it’s essential to remember that ‘being too far ahead of your time is indistinguishable from being wrong.’)

    Given the uncertain nature of the future, and thus the difficulty of being confident your position is the right one – especially as price moves against you – it’s challenging to be a lonely contrarian.”

    The important point of his comment is that being too far ahead of a turning point (either bullish or bearish), even though ultimately being proved right, is still “indistinguishable from being wrong.”

    However, there is a huge difference between being making the right call early, particularly when the trend is changing from bullish to bearish, and making no call at all.

    The “buy and hold” mantra is essentially based on the premise that stocks rise much more often than they fall, and since you are either too stupid or lazy to actually understand how investing actually works, you are just better off making investments and forgetting about them. Hopefully, you will win.

    This is the equivalent of saying: “Since 8 out of 10 people who play ‘Russian Roulette’ survive the first pull of the trigger, the odds are in your favor of winning.”

    While that is entirely true, it is the 20% of the time you lose that matters most.

    The chart below shows the long-term view of the market, going back to 1920, as compared to GAAP valuations. This is a QUARTERLY price chart which also shows the points in history where valuations have collided with extreme overbought conditions.

    [​IMG]

    While hindsight is pretty clear about what happens given the current environment of weak economic and profit growth combined with high valuations and deteriorating technical underpinnings, the ultimate outcome took months to develop. Just as with the“boy who cried wolf,” warnings eventually fell on “deaf ears” at the point those warnings actually mattered.

    Currently, there is little argument the “bullish trend” remains intact. As such the mainstream analysis, if you can actually call it that, continues to the tout the inherent benefits of low cost, passive indexing and the ultimate “chase for yield.” However, it is here the real danger lies. Much of the monetary flows into passive indexes is actually NOT PASSIVE. When the eventual reversion comes, and it will, the pain inflicted on individuals, as is always the case, will turn “passive indexers”in “panicked sellers.”

    It is here that being a contrarian will pay its dividends. Unfortunately, as is too often the case, there are few individuals who actually “sold high” in order to “buy low” when the real long-term investment opportunities are “laid to bare.”

    In the meantime, here is what I am reading this weekend.

    Week before Election more bullish than week of or week after
    [​IMG]
    Election Day is (finally) just around the corner. Next week will be two weeks before and it is also the week after October options expiration. Over the past 22 years the week leans bullish with gains exceeding losses by a margin of nearly 2 to 1 and respectable across the board gains. However, this same week (not always the week after options expiration) has nearly the exact opposite track record in election years. Since 1952, DJIA and S&P 500 have advanced during the week only 37.5% and 31.3% of the time respectively. The week before election week has a bullish bias that exceeds election week and the week after.

    If Democrats Sweep on Election Day DJIA Returns Could be Below Average
    [​IMG]
    Six possible political alignments exist in Washington: Republican President with a Republican congress, Democratic congress or split Congress; and a Democratic President with a Democratic Congress, Republican Congress or split Congress. Data presented in the chart below begins in 1949 with the first full presidential term following WWII to focus on the modern era.

    First looking at just the historical performance of the DJIA under Democratic and Republican Presidents we see a pattern that is contrary to popular belief. Under a Democrat, DJIA has performed better than under a Republican. DJIA has historically returned 10.0% under Democrats compared to 6.8% under a Republican executive. Congressional results are the opposite and much more dramatic. Republican Congresses since 1949 have yielded an average 15.3% gain in DJIA compared to a 6.1% return when Democrats have controlled the Hill.

    Democrats in power of the two branches have produced an average DJIA gain of 7.4%, below the All Year average gain of 8.3%. This scenario is increasingly becoming more probable as the polls widen in favor for Hillary Clinton. With a Democratic President and a Republican Congress or a split Congress, DJIA has performed well averaging a 14.7% gain. The best scenario for all investors has been a Democrat in the White House and Republican control of Congress with average gains of 16.4%.

    [​IMG]
    8th Year pattern back in play in an undecided election
    [​IMG]
    Whether looking at “All Presidential Election Years” or just “Eighth Years” in the charts below, the market is usually in rally mode near the end of October. Should the election go as polls suggest then the market will most likely track the “All Presidential Election Years” pattern to finish the balance of 2016. Should the election results be too close to call and trigger a recount in a state or possibly more, then the “Eighth Years” pattern would be back in play. An undecided outcome similar to November 2000 (an Eighth Year) would produce great uncertainty and could lead to declines similar to those that occurred then. DJIA dropped 5.1%, S&P 500 plunged 8.0% while NASDAQ imploded 22.9% (tech bubble burst, not likely to occur again as valuations are not as extreme now) in November 2000. In the undecided scenario, it would not be surprising to see the Fed skip a rate hike in December in order to provide some relief to the market.

    An end to gridlock in D.C. or an incumbent defeat
    [​IMG]
    Historically, S&P 500 performance from the end of July until the end of October has been a reliable indicator as to the outcome of November’s election (hat tip Sam Stovall of CFRA, formerly S&P Global Equity and Fund Research). When the period was positive, the incumbent party typically wins the election, when the period was negative, the incumbent usually lost. Overall in 18 presidential elections since 1944, the indicator was correct 15 times (83.3%).

    As of today’s close S&P 500 is down 2.2% since the last trading day of July. This would suggest an incumbent party defeat and a victory for Republican Donald Trump. While certainly a possibility, it is also a possibility that the market is increasingly unhappy with the prospects that the Democrats could sweep the election and retain the White House while reclaiming the House and the Senate. The end of gridlock in D.C. would introduce even more uncertainty for the market to cope with.

    S&P 500 on track to complete 3-month losing streak
    [​IMG]
    Looking back to 1950, S&P 500 has completed 33 consecutive monthly losing streaks of three or more months. With six trading days left in October, S&P 500 needs to climb back above 2168.27 to avoid a third month. Should S&P 500 fail to reach this bar, it would actually be a positive for November as 20 of those past 33 streaks ended at three months and within one month of the end of all streaks, three months or longer, S&P 500 was higher 100% of the time with an average 4.72% gain. S&P 500 worst monthly losing streak since 1950 was nine straight in 1974. When this streak ended, S&P 500 also had the largest one-month gain, 16.3%.

    A piece of news related to AAPL, QCOM, and INTC
    http://www.forbes.com/sites/ewanspe...nfirmed-slow-iphone-secret-chip/#4d8be1f931e7
    It's bad news for AAPL that their big product has inconsistent levels of performance, and may anger consumers because they don't know if they're getting the "good iPhone 7" or the "bad" one. Nevertheless it's looking like this market will rally into 2018, so AAPL will be okay. Will buy AAPL if it pulls back below 110, but otherwise I think we can find other opportunities.

    Apple is trying to force Qualcomm to give them lower prices, and trying to make Intel a thing in their phone...we'll see how long it takes for the consumer to react, and how negatively they do.
