1. Market Recap and Comments (September 26 – September 30, 2022)
Stocks (SPY) fell for a third week in a row as economic and geopolitical uncertainties increased. In the last three weeks, the S&P 500 has dropped 11.8%. Commodities (DBC) fell 0.4%. Gold (GLD) rebounded by 1.1%. High-yield corporate bonds (HYG) shed 1% and long-duration bonds (TLT) 3.1% due to the Fed denying rumors of a pivot. Year-to-date, DBC is up 15.1%. TLT is down the most, with a loss of 29.9%. The US Dollar index (UUP) is up 17.6% year-to-date.
The Dow-30 long/short strategy, which is the only active strategy with an optional volatility switch, worked as it was supposed to for another week, and delivered a 0.6% gain for the week, boosted by a short position in AAPL with a 7.6% return from the open of Monday to the close of Friday. The weekly Dow-30 long/short strategy is up 7.1% year-to-date. The long/short strategies are performing well due to a lack of strong relief rallies and a slow “pain trade” to lower levels.
The S&P 500 is down 25.2% from all-time highs and is oversold in both the daily and weekly timeframes. A strong relief market is long overdue, but markets can remain oversold for long periods.
Every day in the financial media, there is a competition to predict the bottom. Most of those who are involved in these forecasts have a limited understanding of markets and price action. Following strategies is one way of avoiding these exercises in futility.
