P/E multiples will be in flux for the next few months. Phase I will begin in October. Phase II will begin in January. The sequence will look something like the following: Analysts: Many sell-side analysts will revise their December quarter Revenue and Earnings estimates downward coming off of the September quarter earnings calls beginning in … Continue reading P/E Multiples In Flux
A rate hike is what's next for the U.K. The hike will come before the bank's November meeting. The U.K. has an abundance of economic problems yet deflation is not one of them. The Bank of England put forth a weak rate increase last week. The Bank of England would tell you the reason for … Continue reading What’s Next For The U.K.?
Could the NASDAQ re-test the COVID lows of March 2020 when it sat around 6,900? Yes. That would require a prolonged recession (which we expect) AND The Fed not restarting its ultra-dovish monetary policy of Quantitative Easing combined with a near zero Fed Funds Rate. Who knows how the Fed will behave in 2H 2023 … Continue reading The NASDAQ Could Re-Test COVID Lows & The Rise of High Yield
If the Fed raises by 100 BPS tomorrow we believe there is another 10% downside to the NASDAQ before October earnings. We believe the NASDAQ will continue to work lower as the Fed hikes its Fed Funds Rate and as Treasury yields climb. We expect the Fed's rate hiking will stop by early next year … Continue reading A NASDAQ Bottom. QT Or Not To QT?

That's 7 months from now if you include March 2023. We need two things to happen in order for investors to capitulate: First, we needed the Fed … Continue reading How Quick To NASDAQ 9,000?
Today many non-believers got religion and came to the realization that the Fed will have to raise rates a bit higher (north of 4%?) and hold them there for longer in order to fight inflation. A fall or winter Fed pivot feels like more than wishful thinking.Today was the first Chair Powell speech I've heard … Continue reading No More Bear Market Rally
The Housing Supply ratio tells a story of a weakening consumer. Housing Supply: The ratio of new houses for sale to new houses sold is at its highest level (9.3) since May 2010, the latter part of the Great Recession. This despite the fact that mortgage rates have ticked down in recent weeks. Housing Supply … Continue reading Housing Supply & The Weakening Consumer
This bear market rally feels more driven by FOMO than the fundamentals. What is there to get so excited about as to justify this rally off of the June lows? Inflation: Is the fact that headline CPI slowed to 8.5% from 9.1% really anything to write home about? Core CPI plus Food was up 1.4% … Continue reading This Bear Market Rally Is Overdone
The Treasury yield curve continued to invert as short rates climbed higher and long rates fell. The 1-Year climbed to 3.14%, the 2-Year rose to 3.10% while the 7, 10, 20 and 30-Year Treasury yields all fell (see table below). The Treasury market is telling us that it expects a near-term recession by way of … Continue reading Yield Curve Inversion Implies Near-Term Risk
