As we wave goodbye to 2018, what are your stock market resolutions and goals for 2019?

For me, my goals are only indirectly related to the market. I've been trading full time since 2013 but have, over the last 2 years, let trading take a back seat to bigger goals, namely building and growing LazyFA, and honing my fundamental research skills.

In 2019 I'd like to grow the app to at least 20,000 users (currently just under 4,000) and would like to develop a mobile app for it as well. Aside from that I've got a goal to read one new book each month, and will continue to hone my development skills while trading options on the side, mostly selling SPX spreads. If the volatility continues as it has been for the end of 2018, this should be very profitable and fairly low maintenance.

If you're just starting out, sometimes it can help to put your goals out there in public, but regardless of your experience, what are your trading/investing/personal goals for 2019?

Happy new year and best of luck to everyone in whatever your endeavors!

Squeezing money out of a community bank - Activist Investor Lawrence Seidman increase stake in BWFG to 7.29%

Today, Lawrence Seidman, the activist investor who in the past has been characterized as Mr. Potter from It's a Wonderful Life (see this old Forbes article for some background on Mr. Seidman) has increased his stake in Bankwell Financial Group (NASDAQ: BWFG) to 7.29% in the community bank.

Seidman's first 13D filing in BWFG was made earlier this month on Dec 13, 2018. 

Purpose of transaction: "​The Reporting Persons originally purchased the Shares based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that the Shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity." 

Siedman also stated that he had been having several conversations and meetings with management. Subsequent to this first 13D filing, on Dec 19th, BWFG announced a 400,000 share buyback program. 

The current stock price of ~$28.65 (mid-day) is just slightly above Siedman's average purchase price (based on latest 13D filing) of $28.15.

This is a post from my blog: 13D Filing Blog

Are stocks P/E ratios artificially high due to tax changes?

The Corporate tax cut has been a huge boon to many companies. Has the increased profit caused P/E’s to be artificially low? If so, will they rise as soon as the tax benefit ends?

Is expected volatility actually causing less volatility?

So for the last week people have been mostly expecting highly volatile markets during the month of January, but the past 2-3 days we have seen the exact opposite. The daily changes in the market have been very small <1% changes in the market.

Is the fact that we all expect volatility actually causing people to feel more comfortable holding their stocks, actually causing less volatility?

Meanwhile many people see this low spot as a time to buy which could be causing the small increases we are seeing in the market. Is it possible that traders gained some confidence and that this could be when the market starts rising again?

Devil's advocate for the use of Shillers PE ratio?

I heard that Shillers PE ratio is not useful as of now, due to greatly elevated PE during 2008-9 due to financial crisis when PE went through the roof due to reduced earnings, and since Shiller PE is usually trailing 10 years, 2019 would have much "better" Shiller PE compared to 2018 due to exclusion of the worst years in financial crisis.

Any truth to that? How useful is Shiller PE for US stock market valuation in your opinion?

Conclusion of year-end gain-taking process is near... or is it?

From past readings, I’ve always assumed fiscal year end bonus cycles at big investment firms helped drive an occasional exodus from markets as managers looked to stabilize their performance. These conditions being further exacerbated in times of volatility and uncertainty.

However, from reading here, it seems my assumption has holes (as often happens with assumptions). As an example, holes around human psychology and band-wagon jumping.

Any other thoughts where my assumptions are flawed?

Did the bull run of this market really have to end?

I’m curious on perspectives here. I’m of the mind that because of govt’s intervention after the 08 crash, the market should logically have continued doing well for longer, however I think a lot of fear had built up with economists and institutional investors who are taught that the markets cycle on a schedule and that we were in a “late market cycle”. It seems like a lot of them had their finger over the sell button, more than what’s logical to expect.

So what do you guys think? Does the market have to dip on a regular timeline or should it have continued along this time?

Jim Paulsen is bullish on stocks again and says it’s time to ‘buy the dips’

KEY POINTS

  • It’s time to go back to buying the dips when stock prices fall and the market is “dying,” says Jim Paulsen of Leuthold.
  • The strategist expects the recent market volatility to last for a few more weeks, but says there’s no sign of a recession, which is making him bullish again.
  • “Buy the dips” is a strategy that has been popular during most of the more than 9-year-old bull market, but investors abandoned it in droves during the recent stock market correction.

----

I did some research and base on his firm’s website. According to the latest data, his funds did not outperform the broader S&P 500 index so far this year.

YTD Performance as of 09/30/2018

LCRIX 0.21%

S&P 500 10.56%

Through my broker's website, I set my account NOT to reinvest dividends in a certain stock. Yesterday, the cash was there shortly after the market was closed. Today I see that the cash was reinvested into a stock that I did not want. My account was, and still is set up not to reinvest dividends in that stock. I had immediate plans for the cash from that dividend. I could just sell the shares, but then I'm unsure how that will impact my taxes.

A lot of people seem to think brokerages without fees (Mainly Robinhood) are scams. Why?

The only 2 brokerages without fees I'm aware of are Robinhood and WeBull, and I have both. I don't like Robinhood as much because I prefer short selling to being long and they don't allow shorting, but I love WeBull and have had no issues with them (with the exception of so few shortable companies but they've assured me they're increasing the number of shortable companies soon). I've been trading on RH for a few years and WB for a few months with no evidence of any unsavory behavior from either.

I've done my research on both of these companies and found nothing that scared me from any seemingly legitimate scam. A few people here and there seem to think it's a Ponzi scheme or something, but the companies are compliant with all the appropriate government entities as far as I can tell.

Do you have any thoughts on this? Am I just a gullible idiot or are some people just a little too paranoid?

why market gonna tank, we just don't know when

You have a stock that is propped up by hype, and we even have a certain date where it will certainly tank beyond that date, and yet it's still 3-4 times more than IPO price.

That's TLRY. Still mind boggling its $70+, it's only about 2 weeks away from IPO lockup expiry, and recently it got pumped 10% and 16% daily by management. You have to wonder what these retail trader idiots are thinking holding it to still $70.

Another thing reminding me was HMNY. That stock, everyone with triple digit IQ would know it's heading to approach 0, and yet it took a year for it from Oct 2017 run to $34 to go to $1, then reverse split and end up $0.1. It was always amazing some bulls kept holding on to that total garbage, even though it was overvalued by a ton.

Now im not saying current market is any similar to TLRY or HMNY, but the underlying psychology is the same. The current stock market is overvalued but as long as there enough delusional fools out there, it wouldn't tank. PPT already pumped the general market and stabilized it, true legal market manipulation. But will it last next week? This is still a long term bear market/recession with some short term relief. And the danger is you never know when Oct and Dec rout gonna strike again but the real danger is there. This is no longer the bull market.

Looking to get started

Hi, I'm currently a 19 year old college student looking to start learning how to trade. I'm not really looking to invest long term, I already have a small 401k through work, and my parents probably wouldn't like me locking any money into any retirement accounts right now as I'm supposed to pay them back for college. I'm more so looking to learn and possibly make a little money. I was planning on paper trading for a couple months before hopping in, and I still might, but this is still really not the same as real trading with real money (no emotion, different dollar amounts and rules). I have paper traded in the past a few times in middle school and high school and done fairly well.

My plan is to deposit $500 or so into either robinhood or webull. First question, what is the general consensus on which of these 2 brokers is better?

Also when I open an account with either, how will this affect my credit? I believe it will do a soft pull or something just to verify my idenitity right? Will this affect my credit little or not at all?

I'm going to have to trade under the pdt rule right? Even if I don't use margin and just use a cash account? This is fine as I probably won't have much time in the middle of the day anyway. Can anyone point me in the right direction to learn strategies trading this way? I've been reading tutorials on investopedia to get a good baseline of investing knowledge, but I think I need to get a little bit more advanced now and learn how to actually make picks and such.

Sorry if any questions are stupid or redundant. Thanks!

Is this a Recession, Depression, or Something Else? What's Next?

What goes up has to come down at some point.  Sometimes, markets go down because they went up - a lot.  We were really spoiled by the "Trump bump" of 2017.  Did you know that 2017 was the only year ever that the S&P 500 went up each and every month?  That's great and mutual funds made a lot of money.  But remember, people have very short memories.  Investors, in their 2017 exuberance, forgot that market volatility is normal.  Now, it goes without saying, that the volatility we've seen in 2018 has been a lot more severe than anything we've seen in recent years.  Why is that?

Yesterday was supposed to be a "deadcat bounce" according to the perma bears. Today is yet again apparently, another "deadcat bounce" when will the perma bears face reality that we are heading into new highs in 2019?

GDP Growth Strong. CHECK.

Unemployment rate low. CHECK.

Consumer Spending Expectations in 2019 VERY HIGH. CHECK.

Yield Curve, far from inverting. CHECK

Credit Spread is tightening. CHECK

Debt levels at normal level compared to '08. CHECK

Central Bank Tightening, which means strong economy. CHECK.

Housing market is not as frothy as '08. CHECK.

Mnuchin told big banks to pump the stock market

Mnuchin went to meet with the big banks during the weekend to prevent so-called "liquidity problems", except there's none. His real purpose was to pump the stock market, a mini-QE done by private banks instead of the feds.

He threatened them with lawsuits, so big banks had to comply. They first pumped Wednesday, then when today's market began correcting, they jumped in at the last couple hours and pumped it again

Trump must have ordered this. It is said he tracks stock market every day, he must know the bloodshed in December and he doesn't want 2018 end in bear market territory and make headlines, which will make him look bad. He knows it's a confidence/psychology game so he pumped this market, hoping to reverse the bearish trend not just end of year, but maybe prevent a crashing bear market all-together in 2019.

I think what's he's doing is extremely harmful. He's pro-longing the bear market, and adding crazy volatility to it. It's way easier to make money in a constantly bearish or bullish market, then a volatile market. The volatile market will probably lead to illiquidity because people use margins less, due to high risk of margin calls and crazy swings.

What do stock market points mean?

I haven't been able to get a gauge on what point gains or losses mean and why I should care. It's not like market share where is a company loses 15% value, those are tangible dollars lost whether realized or not.

I haven't been able to find out what the points represent, so I can't know if, for example, why a 200 point gain or loss is modest (or something else) or why a 1,000 point gain (that the Dow apparently gained today) is good, or "strong".

Today’s FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) Buying Has a Somewhat WEAK Point

At least on the perspective of volume, today’s berserk rush to the upside has less volume compared to recent days.

December 26, 2018

-S&P 500 up 4.96%

-DJIA up 4.98%

Today’s S&P 500 trading volume of 2.73 billion shares is 16% lower than its average trading volume in the past four trading days. DJIA’s 433 million shares traded is 22% lower.

I picked the just the average of the last four trading days because this is when it felt like the market was on its way to total panic/bear market-like scenarios. I hope we do recover the volume as well so as to have a more solid foundation of this comeback rally to year-end.

Cheers to the remaining trading days of an unforgettable 2018!

Silver Lake Partners increases stake in MSG to 9.7%. Says assets are undervalued.

Today private equity firm Silver Lake Partners (and its affiliates) filed a 13D disclosing an increased beneficial ownership in The Madison Square Garden Company (NYSE: MSG).

Silver Lake's first 13D filing disclosing ownership in MSG was made earlier this year in Feb. Based on the SEC filings, Silver Lake's average purchase price has been ~$233 per share.

In the Purpose of Transaction, Silver Lake make reference to MSG's assets being undervalued by the market. Taking a cursory look at MSG's balance sheet looks like there is not too much debt on those hard assets either, if that cursory examination is right this could be an ideal target for a leverage buyout which Silver Lake has experience with.

All us stock indice futures green right now

Have we seen the end of this correction?

All US futures are green right now: https://finviz.com/futures.ashx

U.S. stock markets suffered their steepest Christmas Eve decline in decades Monday, defying the best efforts by the Trump administration to instill confidence, and coming very close to ending a record 10-year upward run.

By the end of Monday’s shortened holiday trading session, the great bull market that began in the lows of March 2009 lay lifeless, capping a three-week, 16 percent sell-off of the S&P 500.

President Trump and administration officials faced intense scrutiny of their unorthodox attempts to steady nervous markets. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin’s phone calls Sunday to major U.S. banks further stoked anxiety among traders, while Trump’s Monday tweet attacking the Federal Reserve for not having “a feel for the Market” appeared to exacerbate the day’s sell-off.

Investors have been shaken by recent economic and political ­developments, including the abrupt resignation of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis; a partial federal government shutdown; an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve; speculation that Trump might seek to fire Fed chief Jerome H. Powell; Mnuchin’s unusual calls to U.S. banks; and Trump’s sudden decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria against the counsel of his national security team.

Do you think the stock market will continue to tank?

Time to Short the Averages

Key Points

  • Stocks struggle as the Fed continues to tighten monetary policy.
  •  Key supports are breaking in the major indices.
  • The S&P 500 has broken its 10-year trend line.

You can read the full blog, with charts, here: https://www.brtechnicals.com/time-to-short-the-averages/

A Disconnected Fed

The stock market is struggling to find buyers. Slower growth seems inevitable in 2019, but the Federal Reserve continues to tighten monetary policy. I have been warning that monetary policy is one of the biggest risks to stocks since the Fed’s bond rollover program begun.

There is a disconnect between the markets and the Fed. This is because the market is forward looking while the Fed is backwards looking. The primary metrics the Fed looks at measured inflation and measured unemployment. They tighten policy, then look to see if it caused any problems. Inevitably, they will tighten until they see something break.

Already Short

Our portfolios have been mostly in cash since October, but we have begun to deploy some of that cash into short positions. Rather than outright shorting stocks, we are using inverse ETFs. These ETFs move in the opposite direction of the index they track. We have already purchased RWM and SH.

The Russell 2000

The Russell 2000 has led the stock market down. It peaked a month before the large cap indices, and was the first to break its February and October lows, which is when we went short. Since, the index has been in a free-fall.

The S&P 500

We opened our short in the S&P 500 with SH after the index fell below its February lows. Additionally, the index fell below a key level at 2,500. This was more than just a psychological whole number support. It was also the support from the ten year-old trend line.

The trend line break effectively ends this bull market. Only 6.2% of stocks are above their 50-day moving average while only 15.8% of the index are above their 200-day moving average. The momentum has shifted to the downside, and the index is likely to continue its fall.

Future Shorts

We are also looking to short two other indices: the Nasdaq-100 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Both of these indices have just broken their February lows and look ready to short. For these we will be looking to buy PSQ and DOG.

The Technical Portfolio

Our goal with this newsletter and blog is to find long-term trades that can help us beat the S&P 500. Right now, those trades are coming from the short side as the stock market struggles to find buyers. The combination of the negative economic outlook and bearish technical indicators tells us the bears are out in force. 

Without the help of monetary or fiscal stimulus, the market is predicting a recession is coming. Investors are betting lower liquidity and tighter monetary conditions are going to push the economic growth down.

Unfortunately for the U.S. economy, it seems it is going to face some trouble in the near future. There doesn’t seem to be any positive catalysts waiting to help prop up the markets or the economy. A looming trade war, slower growth, and a tightening Fed may be enough to push this aging economic cycle into a recession.

Why would TVPT be trading below an announced buyout price?

TVPT announced that they would be accepting a buyout offer which has the common shares being bought at 15.75. Since that time the shares briefly traded at that price but have since began a slump down to 15.41. Sure, it’s possible any deal falls through before being finalized but does the market really believe that so much that it isn’t worth buying up shares now that should very likely be worth more in a matter of months? I’m a stock rookie so I was hoping we could have some discussion about what sort of conditions could cause this sort of behavior.

Ok, so this happened to my dad so I apologize if I get some of the details wrong since neither of us know what happened exactly but here’s the story.

Dad had some Amazon stock that he sold at a loss the beginning of December. Then Amazon dropped even lower and he bought it back within 30 days.

He placed it as a market order and for some reason it placed his order for the price he paid for the stock on the 5th resulting in an instant 5k loss.

He called fidelity support and they say he executed a “wash sale.”

Curiosity question

Say I win the lottery and suddenly have 500 million in the bank. I feel like a WSB autist and decide to just buy the shit out of some small cap with a market cap of 50 million. I just buy every share I can get my hands on.

So two questions. 1. Is a one man pump and dump illegal? 2. I read somewhere if you own more than 5% of a company you must disclose it. Could I, a nut job with 100 million in a RH account, buy more than 5% and get fined without realizing it or would something prevent this?

Just curious. Merry Xmas.

Perspectives on the long term and this time feels different.

I’m not a big poster but I put this together in response to someone saying that this time feels different. The source of the information comes from some literature I’ve accumulated. I would also like to say that this is a post on investing and not on trading.

At the bottom of the market in 1987 (Black Monday you dropped 22% 10/19/87) you would’ve lost 29% of your portfolio. By the end of 1989 you would’ve been 25% higher than your peak portfolio value in 1987. Missing the best days in the market (S&P 500) also substantially reduce your returns. For example if you were invested every day from January 1998 through December 2017 (sorry this year isn’t over yet can give you a number) you’d have an average return of 7.2%. If you miss the best 10 best positive days your return is only 3.5%. If you miss the 20 best days your return is just 1.1%. And if you panic and sell when things get bad and miss the 30 best days, just one months worth of the market over the course of 20 years you would have an average return of -0.9%.

That’s the cost of dumping your stocks. And just to be proactive to the criticism let it be known that buy and hold does not mean buy and forget.

Be Extremely Picky In Your Stock Selections As Many High Quality Companies Trade Lower

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to all! Remember with the recent market activity. Stick to your game plan, if you’re a dividend investor continue to buy stocks as they get cheaper. If a position is down 25%, dip your toes into that position and grab some shares. Is the bear here? Nobody knows, but we do know that high quality stocks gets cheaper as the share price falls.

I'm not entirely new to the stock market but I usually just buy index and forget. I entered the workforce around 2013, when things were seemingly getting good again after the recession, so I don't have first hand experience with market falls, only horror stories.

Anyway, the last few months make me want to slow down on buying and keep cash. Not because socks are going down and I'm seeing losses (I know that's normal), but because I'm afraid of layoffs and being unemployed for a while if companies go on hiring freezes.

Is the any logic to this or am I missing out and being dumb? Should I continue my monthly investments as usual? I have about 6 lean months of expenses in cash.

Wait to dive in?

I just finished paying off student loans and other debts and I’m now ready to start investing with significant funds. My current 401k (7% + Employer 3% match) is only 11K so I’m wondering if I should wait for the market to bottom out before dumping much higher money in since my 401k has lost money for 4+ months. Any thoughts?

Edit: I know timing the market is impossible but basic logic tells me not to invest on the downturn

Shouldn’t the expectation of higher interest rates send bank stocks soaring?

I understand that the stock market is full of complex dynamics and relationships that have multiple driving forces. Banks generally benefit from higher interest rates, so why would the recent news not have a positive impact on bank stocks? All of the major banks such as JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, BAO, etc. have seen steep declines since the news broke.

Anyone interested in getting buy/sell analysis on their stock?

A buddy of mine is curious about the level of interest in people getting an idea of numbers and where a stock will go everyday. So I thought I would ask around.

If a crash is coming, why not sell and re-buy?

It seems like everybody agrees that a crash is coming, but the advice I read is to not sell and to hold for the long run, Bob-style. Why not sell now and buy it back in a bit and still hold for the long run if everything is pointing towards a huge dip? Yes, I know very little about how this works.

Long term investor.

Hi all! I’m going to start investing next month. I’ve been lurking for a while so I know the basics quite well. I’m considering putting around £200 P/M into index funds as they seem a safe bet then going into individual stocks when I feel more comfortable with the system. Would it be a smart idea to invest into around 2 index funds each month or diversify my investments more like one index fund per month? Seen as I expect not to touch the money for around 5 years at the least. Any help appreciated! Thanks

Is the Shiller PE ratio broken?

As we just suffered great losses last Friday, the standard S&P500 PE ratio is at 19 times earnings (vs. 15.73x average) while Shiller PE is at 27.2 times earnings (vs. 16.59x average). We are still high above the average figures but Shiller indicates way higher.

It's a Christmas miracle! Lots of fundamental data on thousands of companies, and it's completely free

Hey everyone! As some here know I've been on a crusade the last few months to build the most awesome equity research tool in the observable universe, and I just wanted to share some of the updates I've made recently and some of the stuff coming in 2019! First here's some screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/TwSESSS

Recent updates:

  • I've added live millisecond price updates from IEX
  • I've added a fancy buy/sell/hold indicator that tells you what to do (hint: HODL)
  • I've added awesome 3D charting, because why analyze your stocks in only two dimensions when you could do it in three?
  • On Fin3D (aforementioned awesome 3D charting), I've added the ability to compare multiple companies and build custom charts comparing items from different financial statements
  • I've fixed several annoying bugs

Coming in 2019:

  • Upgrade to IEX Cloud will provide all kinds of awesome extras, like intraday real time level 2 data, better short interest data and a better news feed
  • Custom 2D charting to supplement the awesome 3D charting
  • Automated red flag detection which looks for accounting shenanigans and earnings manipulation
  • Sentiment analysis for SEC filings and news
  • A screener, so you can find ideas that don't suck, and will actually make you money

Oh, and since we're now all poor because the market is tanking and we spent what little money we had buying holiday gifts for our loved ones at Dollar General, it's completely free to use.

As always, let me know if you have any feedback/feature requests/questions, or if you hate it and want it to burn like SPX (hint: you won't)

Happy holidays and here's to a kick ass 2019!

Get ready for the trading week beginning December 24th, 2018!

Hey what's happening r/StockMarket! Happy Saturday to all of you. I hope everyone on this sub made out okay last week amid all of the insane market volatility of late, and are ready for the new trading week, albeit a holiday-shortened trading week ahead! :)

Here is everything you need to know to get you ready for the trading week beginning December 24th, 2018.

Stocks enter final full week of the year on the brink of a bear market - (Source)


Stocks head into the final full trading week of the year on the brink of a bear market.


The Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted in the past week in its worst performance since before the bull market began, in the very thick of the financial crisis in the fall of 2008.


While the market is seemingly oversold, strategists see little chance for any bounce in the week ahead, and the focus will remain on Washington's fight over a government shutdown. Strategists say it may be too soon for investors to look for bargains among the rubble in what has traditionally been one of the quietest weeks of the year.


The Nasdaq Composite Index, dragged down by tech and biotech, was the first index to close in bear market territory, and is now 22 percent from its high. The Nasdaq lost 8.4 percent to 6,332 in the past week.


The Dow fell 6.9 percent in the past week, to 22,445, and is now just 3 percentage points away from bear market territory, or a 20 percent decline. The S&P 500 was down 7 percent for the week and is just 16 points away from a key support level of 2,400. It is also just about 2 percentage points from a bear market.


"Even if we do [get a Santa rally], it's not going to be meaningful. It's going to be super light volume, with a half trading day," said Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors. "Normally, this has been one of the strongest months of the year, but so far things in 2018 that normally have happened haven't been happening."


In a bad sign on Friday, volume was really heavy. More than 12 billion shares changed hands on U.S. exchanges on Friday, the biggest volume in at least two years.


The stock market closes after a half day on Monday, Christmas Eve, and is closed Tuesday.


Dismal December

December's performance is nearly the worst on record for the month, with the Dow's decline of 12 percent the worst since 1931. December is typically a good time of year for stocks, and this December is on track to be the worst month of the year for the first time ever.


"I would imagine trading activity is going to slow down quite a bit," said Mark Cabana, head of U.S. short rate strategy at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. "Overall, I think the focus is going to be on getting things tied up ahead of year's end. It's possible there could be some outsized moves given reduced liquidity. I think there's going to be a lot of focus on getting a fresh start next year."


Technical analysts say the market continues to look weak, with many stocks in bear market territory already and trading well below their 200-day moving averages.


The S&P 500 had been in a range from 2,600 to 2,800 for four months, but quickly fell out of it all the way to 2,400.


"The measured move was reached faster and more furious than most people thought," said Scott Redler of T3Live.com. "It doesn't seem like anyone wants to step in the way of the headlines that are piling up. And why would they? The next level traders would like to see tested is 2,250 to 2,300."


A negative chart formation that emerged last week, known as a head-and-shoulders formation, points to a level of 2,300 in the S&P 500.


"Buyers are just sitting back and instead of playing an oversold bounce, they're just waiting," he said. "Anybody's that tried to position for a Santa rally has been absolutely run over. The calendar issues have been all off."


Government shutdown

Hanging over the market in the week ahead are the government shutdown fight, which pits the president against Democrats in Congress, over his plan for a border wall. There was a glimmer of hope late on Friday that a deal could be hatched, with Sen. Bob Corker saying a path forward was being discussed.


While traders said there was not much concern about the partial shutdown, a bigger worry was the fighting that could become the norm once Democrats have control of the House in January.


"It does seem like it's weighing on sentiment. It's more a signal about just how difficult things will ultimately be. It enhances expectations for gridlock in the future," said Cabana.


The Fed this past week was viewed as a major catalyst for the sell-off, after it released a forecast for more rate hikes at the same time it sees a slower growing economy.


That sparked concerns that the Fed was heading for a policy mistake, and comments from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell that the Fed's balance sheet rolldown was on "autopilot" really spooked traders.


But on Friday, New York Fed President John Williams kicked off a brief stock market rally when he told CNBC the Fed is willing to reconsider its policy depending on the economy and conditions. His comment was not unlike Powell's, but traders said he sounded more flexible and sensitive to market conditions.


Strategists point to a few big concerns for the markets heading into next year — the most worrisome being trade and the Fed.


Wilmington Trust chief economist Luke Tilley said his base case is there will be a trade agreement with China that avoids the next round of tariffs.


"The tariffs so far don't have much impact on the economy," he said. "If we moved into 2019 and all tariffs were implemented, that would very quickly outweigh all stimulus we have coming into 2019. That would be a weight on GDP growth and bring our numbers down for next year."


Cabana said growth for the beginning of the year looks good, and if sentiment could stabilize that might help markets. Treasury yields fell in the past week, with the 10-year yield at 2.78 percent Friday.


"We think rates could be higher. We think 3 percent is reasonable ... but quite honestly risks appear quite heavily to the downside," he said. "The bigger ones are international and geopolitical in nature — what happens to trade, China's economy, Brexit, European populism and gridlock in the U.S."


Cabana said the low end of the range for the 10-year yield could be 2.5 percent.

Average S&P 500 Stock Decline Exceeds 25%

The S&P 500 may not have reached bear market territory as an index yet, but of the 500 individual stocks in the index, more than 60% are down at least 20% from their 52-week highs. Overall, the average decline from a 52-week high is a staggering 25.7%! The chart below shows the distance each of the individual components is trading from their 52-week highs grouped by 10 percentage point ranges. As of Thursday afternoon, just 72 stocks in the S&P 500 are even trading within 10% of their 52-week highs. Meanwhile, 82 stocks in the index are down 40% or more with 24 of those 82 stocks down by more than half! Have their been uglier periods for the stock market? You bet. But not in a long time.

So which stocks are down the most? There are actually a number of well-known names with stocks like General Electric (GE), Western Digital (WDC), Nvidia (NVDA), Halliburton (HAL), Wynn Resorts (WYNN), Micron (MU), and Applied Materials (AMAT) all having been more than cut in half.

Is It Time For Santa?

So far it’s been rough for stocks in December, a month that has historically been bullish. How bad has it been? After 10 trading days, we’re off to the worst start to December since 1980! In fact, the S&P 500 Index is flirting with “worst month of 2018” status, currently held by October (-6.9%). Since 1957, when the S&P 500 started in its current form of roughly 500 stocks, December has never been the worst month of the year.

Is there still time for a Santa Claus rally? “December has been a month to forget for equities so far, but there is a silver lining. Turns out, the majority of December’s gains tend to happen the second half of the month—so we still have time to believe in Santa,” explained LPL Senior Market Strategist Ryan Detrick.

As our LPL Chart of the Day shows, December is historically a strong month that has tended to see the majority of its gains late in the month.

Day Before Christmas: Tech and Small-Caps Best

For decades we have been tracking the market’s performance around holidays in the annual Stock Trader’s Almanac. In the 52nd edition for 2019, data for DJIA, S&P 500, NASDAQ and Russell 2000 can be found on page 88. Of the eight holidays tracked, Christmas has been one of the most consistently bullish with respectable average gains occurring on the day before. Small-caps, measured by the Russell 2000 have been up 74.2% of the time on the day before Christmas with an average gain of 0.37% since 1987. NASDAQ is second best, up 67.7% of the time with an average gain of 0.42%. DJIA and S&P 500 have been softer with gains 61.3% and 58.1% of the time respectively. Volatility also tends to be subdued ahead of Christmas as well as the worst decline recorded by any of the four indexes was 0.69% by NASDAQ in 1997. NASDAQ also had the best day before performance, up a staggering 7.56% in 2000. The market did not get exactly what it was looking for from the Fed, but perhaps a pause in trading, to celebrate Christmas, will have some positive impact.
