Global growth is weak, and will be eroded further by Brexit. Oil prices are low, and likely to plunge further. The world has excess capacity and a wage-depressing labor surplus. Corporate profits are shaky. And deflation is laying bare the impotence of central banks. So where would you logically expect financial markets to be going, given that economic, financial and political environment?

correlation was pretty tight between corporate profits and the S&P up to 2009.

yield expectations have been cut by half thanks to all the printing, so maybe we're allowed more upside in the S&P 500 now.

OTOH, when Hillary wins should the GOP retain the House, things are going to get totally, totally fucked in DC.

If you had only listened...

Go look at what I wrote

Because oil is rising Q4 2016 or Q1 2017 Earnings will turn positive that is the reason the markets should hit a new all time high because consumption levels are still good enough..

Oh by the way

MASI (Main stock)
ATEN
UNXL

WTW

TWTR

DB had a stop loss provision in it

That's a nice % return if you go time stamp every time I said to buy it

But stick to cash and ARLP... that is the safe way to play since the market cycle is very old and employment cost index is in it's first stage of rising

When the next severe downturn happens, which will be far sooner than most expect, and brutal in depth & length, Logan will disappear or try and revise his prior permabull bullshit statements (ad nauseam).

9   _   2016 Sep 3, 5:59pm  

Data trends turn negative then we switch from growth to recession trends and tracking when we can see the recovery data flip and here it happened on June of 2009 right when the markets turned as well

the next recession will be very normal

I learned long ago that investors keep fighting the last war. I was 30 during the 1987 crash, had been investing for 11 years. The memory of that event kept so many people waiting for "another, worse one". The '08-09 crash was much worse so it's not surprising people think:

One thing to remember about economic cycles.

You have pin point where the over investment was and how high a multiplier you want to give it.

Housing was a high multiplier due to the consumption base model economics we have here in the U.S.

Professor Sufi from Chicago Booth and I have been at 2 conferences together as we talk about this very topic. So much economic output tied to housing and people forget the cash out boom from 2004-2006

Because this cycle lacks a high multiplier debt leverage bubble the next recession will be very normal

Really? debt levels in the US and other countries are not at historically high levels?

We are growing at 1% a year. There is a basic reason for this slow growth: growth in the developed countries depend on debt growth, and many people are loaded with debts (or rich), same with companies and governments, and borrowing more is difficult or unpopular. The government could borrow to infinity, it's just extremely unpopular.

Growth therefore is petering out. Capital investment is lagging, and productivity dying.

This is not a depression but I would not call this perspective particularly bright - except maybe in comparison to others.

There is a reason why we have 10yrs rates at 1.5%: we are simply not growing.

Debt servicing ratio are at decade lows, the debt structure are the cleanest on record... a lot fixed debt on rising wages

Debt to asset ratios are the best the world has ever seen

Next recession will be very minor unless this cycle goes on for another 6-8 years

16   CBOEtrader   2016 Sep 6, 4:25am  

The market will not crash off highs with implied vols close to all time lows.

We may have a sharp brexit-like downturn, if Trump surprises in the election.

Outside of a trump surprise, little to no chance of a crash coming until after the election.

As chances for a crash increase, I'll see it in the options market. We good for now kids. Keep playing.

17   CBOEtrader   2016 Sep 6, 7:20am  

The market doesnt crash off market highs, and close to all-time implied-vol lows.

It'll be a few months at a minimum. My guess for next few months: the market will stay high as long as hillary remains clear favorite. If/when Trump becomes a threat to win, the market may have a temporary sharp Brexit-type drop.

If the equity market environment changes to a possibleequity scenario, ill see it beforehand in the options market.

Weak services data raises big red flag on economy and pushes back Fed rate hike odds

The ISM non-manufacturing survey fell to 51.4, the lowest level since February, 2010. The survey reports on a much broader swath of the economy than the manufacturing report, and therefore is more concerning if it is signaling a new trend in weakness. The services sector represents about 70 percent of the U.S. economy.

Debt servicing ratio are at decade lows, the debt structure are the cleanest on record... a lot fixed debt on rising wages

Debt to asset ratios are the best the world has ever seen

- Total public debt 105% of GDP, at record $19 Trillions , on our way to $40 trillions by 2024.
- Households total debts at record $14.316 Trillions
- Households credit at record $3.596 Trillions
- student loans at record $1.3 Trillions
- Non financial companies debts (bonds) at record $4.947 Trillions
- Commercial and Industrial Loans, Large Domestically Chartered Commercial Banks at record $1.1 Trillions
- All Sectors; Debt Securities and Loans; Liability, Level at record $63 Trillions.

... but outside of that we lack the "debt leverage"....
What you really mean is that in the end we are mostly talking of government debt, which is backed by taxes and a printing press, so not a real danger.
Only it's very unpopular and congress will no doubt keep dragging its feet to grow it, resulting in lower growth.

Your great growth story:
ISM Non-Manufacturing Index decreased to 51.4% in August
ISM Manufacturing index decreased to 49.4 in August

23   Heraclitusstudent   2016 Sep 6, 11:36am  

I think internationally we are facing a return of doom and gloom in China at the end of the year, turbulences due to practical consequences of Brexit in Europe and renewed fall in oil prices.
All which may not amount to a recession in the US, but it will certainly be felt in markets.

1. Drop in ISM non-manuf business activity index in Aug was 2.3 standard deviations from the mean

When they go negative lets talk ... all this other stuff is noise, GDP consumption is fine in this cycle it's investment that is lacking which is common in all mature countries

A lot the Brexist fears were very over blown because implication is still far away

But trend data was getting negative for the UK but not enough to push to a recession even with the pound weakness

The people who tend to have the massive debt loads are the ones with the biggest income and financial assets

The purity of the debt structure is the more important variable and the debt is as vanilla as you can get in this cycle.. very important factor

In fact at the conference I will be speaking at in October that is what I am going to focus on

Logan Mohtashami says

The purity of the debt structure is the more important variable

If you mean it won't default, I agree.
I just object to the implied willingness of people and governments to add any quantity of debt to their balance sheets.
Assets of not. People who have real net-worth don't need debts.

37   _   2016 Sep 6, 12:28pm  

Heraclitusstudent says

If you mean it won't default

Defaults should only happen when there is an economic event... mostly a job loss,

Housing was the worst debt leverage bubble because it was highly speculative, bad exotic debt, massive demographic patch as well

Really was a perfect story and that really happened from 2003-2006 . 1996-2002 trend was legit ... to me people discount 1996-2006 as one big bubble, I don't agree with that thesis we had good demographics for housing 1996-2006 but not that good

Speculation is something that should be watched in every cycle to try to find that key over investment thesis.

We had that in oil in this cycle but that isn't a big multiplier economic sector for us outside of a few states

This is very true, federal debt hasn't been properly explained as some people think it's like household debt..

It's been the most difficult thing to explain outside of demographics over the last few years..

Really its such a political weapon that both parties really don't explain it well either

To me I tell people debt is going to grow every year until 2076 and unless it creates inflation we should be fine, hence why debt has grown and interest rates has fallen

People are trained to think that they need to pay off this debt and that we need surpluses each year, that is actually a bad thing for economics if that was the case
