From excessive levels of call-option buying by small traders to chasing the most shorted stocks in the market. As I noted just recently in<b><i>“No One Is Bearish:”</i></b></p><p><blockquote>几乎没有争论<i>“欣快感”</i>近期市场上并不明显。从小交易者过度购买看涨期权期权到追逐市场上做空最多的股票。正如我最近在<b><i>“没有人看跌:”</i></b></blockquote></p><p> <ul> <li><i><b>Fund managers’ allocation to cash is down to 3.8%, the lowest since March 2013.</b></i><i>Such was just before the “taper tantrum” era under former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.</i></li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0d1c7e74281f4546a4a5a28a35a9bfe9\" tg-width=\"1580\" tg-height=\"986\"></p><p><blockquote><ul><li><i><b>基金经理的现金配置比例降至 3.8%,为 2013 年 3 月以来的最低水平。</b></i><i>这还是在前美联储主席本-伯南克(Ben Bernanke)领导下的 “缩减规模 ”时代之前。</i></li></ul></blockquote></p><p> <ul> <li><i><b>Allocations to stocks and commodities are the highest since February 2011.</b></i></li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/73520f72bf0f824be59d828e1d91a970\" tg-width=\"1568\" tg-height=\"952\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0824f55194b685250180b436732c5fca\" tg-width=\"1578\" tg-height=\"894\"></p><p><blockquote><ul><li><i><b>股票和大宗商品的配置是2011年2月以来的最高水平。</b></i></li></ul></blockquote></p><p> The point here, of course, is that when everyone is<i>“in the pool,”</i>it doesn’t take much to create a reversion.</p><p><blockquote>当然,这里的重点是当每个人都<i>“在泳池里,”</i>创建一个回归并不需要太多时间。</blockquote></p><p> <b>The Value Trade Is No Longer A Value</b></p><p><blockquote><b>价值交易不再是价值</b></blockquote></p><p> Such is what we begin to see last week, as the previous favorite<i>“momentum”</i>trades were swapped in a massive rotation to<i>“value.”</i>Given the massively overbought extremes in the<i>“value”</i>plays, that rotation is likely going to be akin to<i>“jumping from the frying pan into the fire.”</i></p><p><blockquote>这就是我们上周开始看到的,作为之前的最爱<i>“势头”</i>交易大量轮换到<i>“价值。”</i>鉴于大规模超买的极端情况<i>“价值”</i>比赛,轮换可能类似于<i>“从煎锅跳进火里。”</i></blockquote></p><p> Small-cap value is more extended currently than at any point over the last 20-years using weekly data. With the index well into 3-standard deviation territory, extremely deviated from long-term means, and grossly overvalued, the eventual reversion will be brutal.</p><p><blockquote>使用每周数据,小盘股价值目前比过去 20 年来的任何时候都要扩大。随着该指数进入3个标准差区域,与长期均值极度偏离,并且被严重高估,最终的回归将是残酷的。</blockquote></p><p> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f709556dbcea03c76994a7ca372d3332\" tg-width=\"976\" tg-height=\"1007\"></p><p><blockquote></blockquote></p><p> The same is seen in the weekly chart of the Russell 2000 index which picks up the Mid-cap exposure as well.

Turn your focus to the middle panel of<i>“money flows.”</i> Despite the<i> “seeming”</i> exuberance of the market over the last few months, money flows have continued to weaken.</p><p><blockquote>我们的中期指标,<i>(使用每周数据)</i>,继续描绘一幅更令人担忧的画面。将焦点转到中面板<i>“资金流动。”</i>尽管<i>“看起来”</i>在过去几个月的市场繁荣中,资金流动持续减弱。</blockquote></p><p> In early November, we recommended increasing equity exposure to portfolios as the <i>“buy signal”</i>was triggered. However, beginning in February, that signal reversed leading to continued downward price pressures.</p><p><blockquote>11月初,我们建议增加投资组合的股票敞口,因为<i>买入信号</i>被触发了。然而,从2月份开始,这一信号逆转,导致价格持续下行压力。</blockquote></p><p> While the market could indeed bounce in the short-term, the decline in<i> “money flows,”</i> and the convergence of <i>“sell signals,”</i> does increase our concern of a bigger decline over the next month or so.</p><p><blockquote>虽然市场在短期内确实会反弹,但<i>“资金流动”</i>和收敛<i>“卖出信号”</i>确实增加了我们对未来一个月左右跌幅更大的担忧。</blockquote></p><p> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/84fe9f1e9350c3c7a0883b8fd519d2fc\" tg-width=\"1085\" tg-height=\"823\"></p><p><blockquote></blockquote></p><p> The problem with the indicator is that it does not distinguish between declines. The<i>“sell signal”</i>in September and October of 2020 coincided with two 10% declines. The signal in March was a 35% crash over a 3-week period.</p><p><blockquote>该指标的问题在于它无法区分下降。这个<i>卖出信号</i>2020年9月和10月恰逢两次10%的下降。3 月份的信号是 3 周内暴跌 35%。</blockquote></p><p> There is certainly a risk of a larger decline given the confirming MACD sell signal in the lower panel.

Once again, the market has struggled with the top of the expanding pattern as relative strength continues to deteriorate. With the markets extremely extended on a monthly basis, as denoted by the red arrows, such periods have had less positive outcomes for investors.</p><p><blockquote>一段时间以来,我们一直在监测的一个更令人担忧的图表是每月扩大的价格模式。随着相对实力持续恶化,市场再次在扩张模式的顶部挣扎。如红色箭头所示,由于市场每月极度延长,这些时期对投资者来说没有那么积极的结果。</blockquote></p><p> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8310d022a3d86ce471faf40b4562a753\" tg-width=\"1240\" tg-height=\"928\"></p><p><blockquote></blockquote></p><p> <i>Monthly price charts are </i> <i><b>NOT TO BE USED</b></i> <i> for trading portfolios.</i> <i><b> Indications are only valid at the end of the month, and they are slow to turn.</b></i> Due to the lag, most short-term focused investors make assumptions the indications are<i> “wrong”</i> this time. However, history tends to prove that extreme market extensions rarely resolve themselves to the upside.</p><p><blockquote><i>每月价格图表是</i><i><b>不得使用</b></i><i>用于交易投资组合。</i><i><b>适应症只有在月底才有效,而且转得很慢。</b></i>由于滞后,大多数关注短期的投资者都会假设这些迹象是<i>“错误”</i>这次。然而,历史往往证明,极端的市场扩张很少会导致上行。</blockquote></p><p> Of course, what causes the eventual <i>“reversion”</i> is always an unexpected, exogenous event when sends investors scrambling for exits where there are few buyers.</p><p><blockquote>当然,是什么导致了最终的<i>“回归”</i>当投资者在买家很少的地方争先恐后地退出时,总是一个意想不到的外部事件。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Managing Past The Noise</b></p><p><blockquote><b>管理过去的噪音</b></blockquote></p><p> There are many arguments for both bulls and bears. On the bullish side, the passage of another stimulus bill will provide a short-term<b><i>“sugar rush” in the markets and economy.</i></b></p><p><blockquote>多头和空头都有很多争论。从乐观的角度来看,另一项刺激法案的通过将提供短期<b><i>市场和经济中的 “糖热”。</i></b></blockquote></p><p> On the bearish side, everything from extreme exuberance to over valuation poses a longer-term threat. As noted by SentimenTrader over the weekend:</p><p><blockquote>从看跌的角度来看,从极度繁荣到估值过高,一切都构成了长期威胁。正如 SentimentTrader 周末指出的那样:</blockquote></p><p> <i>“Yesterday was the biggest split in almost 40 years.

Currently, from the March lows, the S&P has risen by nearly 60%.

At every similar point in history, the reversion was brutal.\n\nThis time is unlikely to be different.\nIntermediate Indicators Worrisome\nOur intermediate-term indicators, (which utilizes weekly data), continue to paint a more concerning picture. Turn your focus to the middle panel of“money flows.” Despite the “seeming” exuberance of the market over the last few months, money flows have continued to weaken.\nIn early November, we recommended increasing equity exposure to portfolios as the “buy signal”was triggered. However, beginning in February, that signal reversed leading to continued downward price pressures.\nWhile the market could indeed bounce in the short-term, the decline in “money flows,” and the convergence of “sell signals,” does increase our concern of a bigger decline over the next month or so.\n\nThe problem with the indicator is that it does not distinguish between declines.

There were so many stocks hitting 52-week highs AND 52-week lows on both the NYSE andNasdaqthat it registered the 2nd most extreme reading since 1984.\nSplit markets have a strong tendency to be ‘not bullish.'”\n\n\nWhether you are bullish or bearish there is an argument to fit your agenda.\nTherein Lies The Rub\nYOUR personal bias may be leading you astray as “cognitive biases” impair investor returns over time.\n\n“Confirmation bias, also called \nmy side\n \nbias\n, is the tendency to search for, interpret, and remember information in a way that confirms one’s preconceptions or working hypotheses. It is a systematic error of inductive reasoning.”\n\nTherefore, it is important to consider both sides of the current debate in order to make logical, rather than emotional, decisions about current portfolio allocations and risk management.\nCurrently, the “bulls” are still in control of the market. The long-term running bull trend remains intact…for now.The chart below is a MONTHLY chart of the S&P 500. Importantly, the bullish trend that began in 2009 remains intact. A correction back to that trendline would encompass a nearly 30% decline from last week’s close.\n\nHowever, the real question is the sustainability of the market at current levels given the rather extreme deviation from long-term means.\nFor those of you who like analogs, the most comparable period historically is the 1998-1999 market“melt-up.”During that period, the market bounced off support and then began a 60%“melt-up”to the final peak in 2000. Currently, from the March lows, the S&P has risen by nearly 60%. In both cases, the negative divergence in relative strength combined with grossly extended markets did not work out well.\n\nContinue To Focus On Risk Controls\nThe big question right now is whether the correction that began a couple of weeks ago is over?\nI would not be surprised to see a reasonable bounce in the market given the passage of the stimulus, and short-term oversold conditions. Such certainly continues to support the“economic recovery”story. Unfortunately, once the stimulus runs through the system, the markets will again face economic realities.\nFor all of these reasons, we continue to hold slightly higher levels of cash and continue to focus on basic risk management controls. As such, over the next couple of weeks we will likely:\n\nSell positions that simply are not working.If they were not working in the strongly rising market and failed to hold support during the decline, acknowledge your thesis is wrong.Investment Rule: Cut losers short.\nTrim winning positions back to original portfolio weightings. This allows you to harvest profits but remain invested in positions that are working. Investment Rule: Let winners run.\nRetain cash raised from sales for opportunities to purchase investments later at a better price. Investment Rule: Sell High, Buy Low\n\nWhile “bearish” concerns are often dismissed when markets are rising, it does not mean they aren’t valid.Unfortunately, by the time the “herd”is alerted to a shift in overall sentiment, the stampede for the exits will already be well underway.\nIs the current bull market dead? I don’t know, and trying to predict the market is quite pointless. The risk for investors is the “willful blindness of change”until it is far too late to matter. Just remember, no one thought the“bull market was dead”in 1999 and 2007 either.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".SPX":0.9,".DJI":0.9,".IXIC":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2433,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"EN","currentLanguage":"EN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":3,"subscribersOnly":false,"subscribersOnlyAccessible":false,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ORIG"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"isTiger":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"url":"/m/post/323785418"}
