1 The Fast and the Furious December 28, 2018 by John Hussman of Hussman Funds "Valuations are informative about long-term returns and full-cycle risks. Market internals are informative about investor psychology over shorter segments of the cycle. Presently, neither valuations nor internals are favorable, and that is what opens up a trap door under the market. There will certainly be periods where short-term oversold conditions will enable scorching market rebounds (what we typically describe as fast, furious, and prone to failure ), but the strongest market return/risk profiles we identify will be associated with points where a material retreat in valuations is joined by an early improvement in our measures of market action. John P. Hussman, Ph.D., The Heart of the Matter, Nov 2018" Given the steep market decline in recent days, short-term market conditions clearly qualify as oversold and highly compressed, in my view. Beyond the short-term, the main considerations here are that 1) market internals continue to be ragged and divergent; 2) the most reliable valuation measures (those most strongly correlated with actual subsequent year market returns) remain extremely elevated from the perspective of history and even of recent market cycles, and; 3) credit spreads continue to widen, with European banks still being a central concern. All of this indicates that investors remain inclined toward risk-aversion in a steeply overvalued market. That in a nutshell, is the reason behind this decline, and those conditions particularly the ragged internals have been in place for months. Most of the explanations you hear for this decline are simply events that prompt investors to simultaneously take actions that were ultimately baked-in-thecake anyway. While we don t presently observe conditions to indicate a buying opportunity or a bottom from a fullcycle standpoint, we do observe conditions that are permissive of a scorching market rebound, even if it only turns out to be the fast, furious, prone to failure variety. I say permissive because there is no certainty about a rebound, and we wouldn t dream of removing our safety nets against a market decline that I continue to expect to draw the S&P 500 toward the 1000 level by the completion of this cycle. Still, we ve prepared for the possibility of unusual volatility here, most likely including one or more daily moves in the range of 4-6%, potentially to the upside. Yes, that means one or more daily moves on the order of points on the S&P 500 and points on the Dow. You think I m kidding. The following two charts provide some context to the compression we observe here. The first shows points where the S&P 500 Index had a 14-day percentage change (ROC for rate of change ) Page 1, 2018 Advisor Perspectives, Inc. All rights reserved.
2 amounting to -14% or more, along with a relative strength index or RSI below 20. The RSI is a standard technical measure originated by Welles Wilder, and measures the tendency for market advances or declines to dominate short-term market action. The bars show the subsequent percentage change of the S&P 500 to the highest close and the lowest close over the following 6-day period. All of these bars are positive, however, it bears repeating that there is no assurance that current oversold conditions will be resolved the same way. The next chart shows outcomes for the Dow Jones Industrial Average in data since Presently, Page 2, 2018 Advisor Perspectives, Inc. All rights reserved.
3 the RSI for the INDU is about 21, so the current instance is just short of those shown here, but the level of compression is close enough to make this chart instructive. You ll notice that the outcomes in the Depression-era involved a few points of even deeper compression (that is, the market experienced further short-term losses), but in a few cases, the fast, furious rebounds within the next 6 trading sessions were also extraordinarily steep. While we don t presently observe conditions to look for a buying opportunity or a bottom from a full-cycle standpoint, we do observe conditions that are permissive of a scorching market Page 3, 2018 Advisor Perspectives, Inc. All rights reserved.
4 rebound, even if it only turns out to be the fast, furious, prone to failure variety. Finally, to place the current short-term conditions into a cyclical perspective, below is a chart that appeared in my December comment, which shows a scatter of market valuations, as measured by nonfinancial market capitalization / corporate gross value-added (including estimated foreign revenues) versus actual subsequent 12-year total returns for the S&P 500. Valuations are scaled to correspond to current levels on the S&P 500, so looking at the lower-right corner of the chart, you can infer that once the S&P 500 Index broke below about 2643, our estimates for 12-year S&P 500 total returns finally moved back above zero. Unfortunately, every market cycle in history including the two most recent cycles that ended in 2002 and 2009 has drawn these total return estimates back up to the 8-10% area or higher by the completion of the cycle. Given the obscene valuations that the market reached at its highs, we would view a market decline to 1192 on the S&P 500 (about 60% below the recent September peak) to be a fairly run-of-the-millcycle completion, while a decline to 1398 would take valuations back to the level seen in 2002 (which was the highest level of valuation previously observed at any cyclical market low). Page 4, 2018 Advisor Perspectives, Inc. All rights reserved.
5 In short, being fully aware of where the market is in the context of the complete cycle, safety nets remain essential here, but we also expect the next few sessions to include a potentially steep clearing rally to relieve the compressed condition of the market. As always, our approach is to align ourselves with the market conditions we observe at each point in time. For now, we remain cyclically defensive, prepared for extreme short-term volatility in both directions, and open to that direction being higher, perhaps into year-end. We ll take fresh evidence as it comes Hussman Strategic Advisors Page 5, 2018 Advisor Perspectives, Inc. All rights reserved.
