ADVICE

Prepare Portfolios For A Multi Year Bear If Momentum Breaks

  • Prepare for a multi-year bear if the S&P and NASDAQ momentum structures break their red-line floors, as prior U.S. bear markets commonly last 2.5–3 years.
  • Reassess portfolio allocations because historical bear dimensions often include 50%+ equity declines; plan for downside scenarios now.
INSIGHT

Commodities Are Reasserting After A Long Deflation

  • Commodities are in an undervalued long-term position and are already showing momentum turnarounds separate from oil headlines.
  • The Bloomberg Commodity Index turned up on annual momentum in October and is far below its 2008 peak, implying a secular capital rotation into commodities as stocks weaken.
ADVICE

Watch T Bond Momentum Because Higher Yields Could Trigger Crisis

  • Expect long-term Treasury yields to resume higher because bond momentum uptrends have been broken and price bases failed.
  • Monitor T‑bond momentum; a renewed leg down in bond price implies higher yields and systemic stress that will force central bank intervention.
