The Fed model compares the forward earnings yield of the stock market with 10-year government bond yields. The model assumes that investors view stocks and bonds as competing assets and will purchase whichever asset has a higher yield, according to an article in Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance May 2009 issue. Jobs Summit Delight!The Bureau of Labor Statistics. BLS for short. Perhaps it should just be BS?
On the heels of President Obama’s “Jobs Summit”, the shockingly surprising NFP number reported showed not only a much smaller number of jobs lost (11K vs. an expected 125K) but also a revised figure from October to a drop (111K vs. 190K previously reported). I suppose this is one time that the media can use the word “unexpected” and actually be correct. Seasonal Lows in Gold and Oil!The last week of October was something else. Heavy fiscal year-end selling for mutual funds seemed to put a damper on good news and push stocks and commodities lower. October is historically a tough month on the US market with mutual funds locking in profits on their books. Currency Markets, Vegas-Style!Let’s face it; the currency market is akin to the ultimate final table in the World Series of Poker. At that table, you have eight people sitting around, all trying to bluff one another. Some have large stacks of chips, while others are short-stacked. Some like to talk a little more than others, while others prefer to let their cards do their talking. Ultimately, there will be one winner. Vexed by the Vix!A look at whether or not the CBOE Volatility Index is too low considering the challenges facing the stock market and economy.
http://www.mywealth.com/blog/post/vexed-vix Chinese Value Stocks!Many investors look at emerging markets such as China as potential protection against falling dollars. No one wants to lose money any more after the market crash of last year, but neither can anyone afford to miss out potential huge growth ahead. Money is flying back to Chinese stocks causing valuations to rise rapidly. Are there still windows of opportunity left? Sound As A Pound....For Now!Yesterday, the Bank of England vote unanimously to leave the size of its asset purchase plan unchanged at 175 billion pounds and voted to leave interest rates unchanged at 0.5%. This is seemingly good news for the Pound in the near-term, as the currency markets are reflecting this morning with the British pound up vs. other currencies. But what is the outlook for GBP going forward? China is No Longer an Emerging Economy!As I woke Monday morning I saw that the Asian markets, particularly the Shanghai Composite, were selling off sharply. And I thought to myself, “oh no, here we go”. My general feeling is that the US equity market is overbought as the valuations haven’t quite caught up to price. Yet the US equity markets finished the day positive. What gives? Where's the Bottom?Economies move through a series of expansions and contractions known as the business cycle. This should not be news to anyone with even a modicum of financial acumen, yet it amazes me that those who are tasked with understanding this basic concept get it so wrong time after time. Equity Markets are a Farce!What drives an investor to buy a stock? Is it the fundamentals? The technicals? A combination of the two? Well I’m not quite certain anymore. You can basically throw all of the textbook answers out the window when it comes to today’s equity markets. Why do I say that? Because I believe that the only thing that is driving this market is the notion that the government is going to bail out everyone and their brother.
