The New Market Reality

The global economic chessboard has been dramatically reset as tariffs mount and trade alliances shift, our country faces a critical inflection point. Within just 60 days of President Trump's return to office, a new economic architecture is taking shape, one that could fundamentally transform our global supply chains, inflation trajectories, and equity markets for decades to come. The stakes couldn't be higher. As the tariffs demolish old trade paradigms and forge new geopolitical alliances, will America master this new market reality?

The President has consistently conveyed his clear preference for tariffs as a policy tool. But what exactly are tariffs and how do they work? Tariffs are essentially taxes imposed on imported goods when they cross international borders. Despite common misconceptions, these tariffs are not paid by the foreign country or their manufacturers. Instead, the tariff is paid by the U.S. business that imports the foreign-made goods.

Stock Market Crash…. Really?

Recently the must-see business news entertainment shows clearly improved their ratings with headlines like “Stock Market Crash” and “Dow Jones Industrial Average index (DJIA) down over 1,000 points”. The only problem was there was no market crash. Furthermore, the headline “Biggest one day drop since 2022” suggests that the writer has almost two years of market experience.

What is missing is some needed perspective. That comes from either having many decades of market experience or working next to a mentor with such experience. Those of us who have lived through several real stock market crashes instinctively know what a real crash is. With the DJIA currently around 39,000, a 1,000 point drop represents a decline of only 2.6%. A move like this could be the start of a correction, but clearly is not a crash. Conversely, it is interesting when the DJIA moves up over 1,000 points in a few days, the news reporters consider that normal.

The Difficulty of Timing the Stock Market

Ever since the New York Stock Exchange started trading in 1792, market timing continues to be a very arduous and volatile way to achieve stable returns on an ongoing basis, depending on the news catalyst of the day. This unpredictable way of investing in the market often leads investors to heightened emotions of greed and fear.

As the markets reach unprecedented heights, there’s a fear of missing out (FOMO) on further upside potential in the market, which can become an all-consuming obsession. On the other side of the coin, there is also the fear of losing it all (FOLIA) at market highs, which suggests investors can be overly conservative out of fear of a major market correction. As we navigate the ebbs and flows of market cycles and volatility, we are always weighing the potential rewards against the looming risks of FOMO and FOLIA.

Lessons from the “Magnificent Seven”

Imagine 2023 unfolding like the plot of the classic Western film, The Magnificent Seven. In this cinematic journey, the markets are like the rugged landscapes traversed by The Magnificent Seven, each day akin to a thrilling showdown. As astute investors, we must strategically navigate the markets each day, prepared for whatever “showdown” comes our way. The key is to arm ourselves with knowledge and wisdom to emerge victorious. As we reflect on a year past and consider the one ahead of us, we can’t help but pay homage to the legendary Vice Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, Charlie Munger, who once said, “Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up. Discharge your duties faithfully and well, and systematically you get ahead, but not necessarily in fast spurts…And at the end of the day, if you live long enough, most people get what they deserve.” His wisdom and charisma will be missed.

Investing in a “Priced for Perfection” Market

After nearly a 10% upsurge in November, the S&P 500 Index is up 18% year to date. However, only a few of the underlying stocks in this index moved up this much. The primary reason for this skewed index move is attributed to just one stock. Nvidia, which specializes in making graphic processing units for artificial intelligence, pushed this index moving 14% higher. Overall, it has been a lower return for the rest of the market. This is seen in the equal weighted S&P 500, which is up 5% for the year. And nearly all of that movement occurred in the last few weeks. While the technical trend looks higher, markets moved from slightly undervalued, to overvalued and overbought, leaving a market “priced for perfection”.

In such a challenging environment, our focus centers on refining our investment strategy and recognizing the pivotal role that cash plays in your investment portfolio. The mantra “buy low, sell high” is core to our investment philosophy, so we refrain from purchasing stocks that are at or near all-time highs.

If I Could Turn Back Time

As we head into the last two months of the year, this time serves as a point of reflection on the year and the resolutions we had hoped to achieve and lament on the ones we didn’t. However, given the uncertainty of the markets this year, you, like I, may feel some ambivalence about making New Year’s resolutions, you may even want to turn back the hands of time if you could

This year, we have weathered some never-before-seen global uncertainty in the markets. However, it’s during these times that we begin to realize that we must continue to move forward by setting newer and higher aspirations for the year to come.

A STRANGE MARKET ENVIRONMENT

In my May note to you, I mentioned this market correction would be larger, with a 20% to 25% decline instead of the textbook 10% correction. Have we passed from the blurred line of the deep correction to the beginning of a recession? Economists and market technicians seem to think so.

Proper investing in stock markets has always been a combination of the “art” which is a gut instinct gained from watching markets for decades, and the “science” which is the statistical analysis of price movements. Although it is alluring to follow our high-end technical charting systems, we know they are just another tool for evaluating markets. Every top technician bases their prowess on a set of indicators that never fail…until they do. One of the last times anyone solely followed technical indicators was in 1998, when Nobel Prize winning technicians in Greenwich ran a $126 billion hedge fund named Long Term Capital. When their strategy failed, it failed spectacularly. With dark humor, the Street then referred to them as “Short Term Capital”.

THE VALUE OF DIVIDEND INVESTING

As we head into the third quarter, we, as investors are faced with a mosaic of uncertainties that we’ll examine together. The Federal Reserve (Fed) took its most hawkish stance against inflation yet, by raising interest rates three-quarters of a percentage point. With the anticipation of getting inflation under control, the Fed initiated its vigorous quantitative tightening policy, the largest initiative since 1940.
