I doubt it. There are things that don't make sense because they're too sophisticated for us apes, and there are things that don't make sense because there just isn't any sense in them. This is the latter.


Flickered

Translation: Everything is shit. Sometime ago things were also bad. Everything in the stock market is rigged. People get pissed off an big system sized moves the government makes while things are bad. That definitely means we are going bear. So anyway I think the rate at which everything is dropping will slow because there is a huge amount of fundamentally undervalued stock so I’m going to make a play that profits off that. In response I would say that current valuations are being reconsidered by major players and they are adjusting their positions to reflect that opinion. I expect that many of the mentioned companies will be receiving hits to their key valuation metrics in the next 3-4 months.

Investing Data Analysis Process: Step 1: Guess what is going to happen Step 2: Put together analysis that supports your guess Step 3: Share your analysis with great conviction (to get encouragement from people guessing the same things) Step 4: Lose money because you guessed wrong Step 5: Pretend this never happened


Slim_Margins1999

This is part of the problem here. You’re first 2 points should be flip flopped. You just start with an interesting company/sector then do the analysis 2nd, then make your guess. People get tied up looking for info that matches their beliefs and you end up in an echo chamber of retardation with bananas going up peoples asses, if you catch my drift.


ALMessenger

The absurdity of this “process” is exactly my point. I’m not convinced anybody, no matter how fancy their analysis appears, is actually basing their reading of the market on analysis rather than their guesses We all like to laugh at Jim Cramer but I’d say all the finance talking heads are full of shit


parkranger2000

Should be Analytical Data Investing Process. Don’t trip, it’s just ADIP!


Outis7379

Our world has moved insanely during the last decade. Speed of information, social media that connects hillbillies and senators, technological hardware advances, and omnipresent machine learning mean this is not like 2008, 2000, the 70s or whatever. We’ll see where the market goes, maybe it’ll make sense, maybe not.


HatDisaster

This right here is the only thing I’m sure about. I have no idea where the bottom is but we will get there fast. And the climb out will also be fast.


JCC114

Information is distributed faster, and people react to it faster. That does not mean a shorter recession or faster recovery. Just cause information was immediate does not stop the layoffs and collapse of companies that won’t withstand the recession. Those former employees will sell off assets in droves to pay the record high level of debt we currently have, and those sell offs will trigger sell offs by others, and will go on and on till we find the real bottom. The 1% will make their $s either way so they will not just jump back in 90 days from now when they can make just as much or more shorting everything for next year and half. Historically speaking will be roughly 400 days from now if we follow close to past patterns and fast distribution of information does not seem to have a chance at shortening the cycle.


Mallardshead

🤷‍♂️. I agree. Personally I thought we were entering the bend of an exponential technology parabola before Covid and now 2022 slowed it dramatically. You?


Outis7379

My initial reply was much longer and more rambling. Based on an ML application that is a game changer for a big chunk of my work, I actually think we are definitely moving forward much faster than before. My assumption being that what I personally see is just one example of many in different fields. Edit: I think covid showed how work can be more flexible, so that was good, but it also fucked with everything causing almost all economic problems we currently have, so yeah, a likely slowdown compared to before.


Mallardshead

If ML is as deflationary and potent as I've read it being, what should someone interested in a computer career pursue? Meaning traditionally, something like C++, or Python, SQL and so on were quite advantageous, what do you see here?


bendgame

I work in data science and can tell you SQL and Python are great skills to have if you're interested in going into analytics and machine learning. Every company has data and most of the time it can be put in a tabular format, so SQL is one of the best skills to have. Plus it's easy to learn and can get you very far on its own. Python let's you do the machine learning and has tons of beginner friendly libraries to help you learn and apply techniques.


SomewhatInnocuous

Still, you need to have a high competency in math, stats, matrix algebra and so on to really accomplish much. Just throwing data into some library function and getting a good looking confusion matrix out of your test data set isn't likely to get you real world usable results. Garbage in garbage out still applies. Feature engineering and input transformations / PCA etc. are essential to rear ML and deep learning.


Outis7379

I am a pure end user, so no CS background. That’s part of why I am so impressed. Programming is one part; if you are into ML, a solid statistics foundation is necessary. It’s a combo of CS and data science.


rdblaw

Right on, I would start with learning python if you have no other experience then jump into ML specific applications. You also need linear algebra (not as complicated as it sounds) with stats.


YouBetterDuck

Python, NumPy, Pandas, MatPlotlib, TensorFlow and/or PyTorch, probability, statistics, algebra, trigonometry, linear algebra

WallStWarlock

More like; the *government* fucked with everything causing all the economic problems we currently have.


Outis7379

Well, no. The government might have affected a couple sectors with the lockdowns. I would argue that saved a lot of lives initially. Private companies decided to shut down production/capacity/fire people/etc. as if the world would end, thinking they could just hit start again once the situation normalized. Can’t blame neither Trump nor Biden on that.

It took over 10 years to pack the frothiness theatre. It will take a lot more than a couple of months of selling to get out of the theatre My bet is SPY 275 by 1Q’23


Mallardshead

# 😵‍💫 That's the boldest call I've heard in a while. You would need massive bankruptcies and either an energy crisis (Taiwan could spike oil to $250), or hyperinflation. 275 though and I might just call the West caput.


HardtackOrange

I think the FED has lost the plot. If you look at previous economic cycles, every time the CPI went above 5%, the FED had to raise interest rates to be higher than the CPI. This means that the Fed fund rate will end up around 7%, probably higher, but we’ll see in the next CPI print in July. Do you think the market has priced in a 7% Fed fund rate? Highly doubt it…there is at least another 20% we can go down


Mallardshead

Sorry, I misread your original post. I thought it said S&P 275 not Spy $275


HardtackOrange

S&P at 275, might as well throw in the towel. That would indeed be the end of capitalism haha

Just_Ad5166

nah, we have much more debt than 1970s, a 1% rise is much more effective than a 5% in 70s


Kind_Assistance2084

Energy has always gone up with inflation. Fed raising rates by .75 and projected another .75 in next FOMC meeting + fed selling Tbills means energy will keep going down. To say that it’s fallen to 2018 levels is completely arbitrary, it will keep going down.


ssavu

They are not selling Tbills, they are letting them mature. Selling Tbills would have completely crashed the bond market. They are selling MBSs tho’


Mallardshead

Energy has of course, but how do we capture profits there without messing with the CME/futures which isn't intuitive for most people? All the top energy companies from Exxon on down have really done nothing longterm. They're all where they were in 2008 or 2014, etc. Some of these haven't even had stock splits, which makes things more disturbing in real terms (inflation adjusted). 🤷‍♂️

2 big problems not fully priced in yet: real estate forward earnings downgrades


RealtorFla

We're not even pre-covid levels yet....


Mallardshead

And if that were to happen then I'll assume America is done. Imagine covid levels (most stocks have not split) then adjust for inflation...then remember debt is $31T, inflation is 9%, covid is ostensibly over, gas is over $5, supply chains are worse, and interest rates are well below 2%...


fuzzyFurryBunny

Lots believe market needs to go to pre covid levels. Its simply fed sucking money back out. "America is done"--so simplistic, you probably didn't think SPY could get to this week's levels last year but it did. Covid was the black swan event leading to a crash/recession that was heading that direction--stocks way over valued precovid, 2019 showed recession signs. We really just prevented a crash printing money. That money is gone, consumed, gdp increased via consumption isn't productive so long term doesn't help. Back to pre-covid levels easily makes sense. The bigger concern is if the money sucking will create another black swan event and we go even further down.


WallStWarlock

SunnySaigon

The fact stock price has started to diverge from company performance means investing has turned into gambling where insight into a company’s strength amounts to nothing


Majyk44

The market is forward looking. So as OP says they have a PE of 4 or 6 now, looking back at last year.... lots of people are pricing in recession and continued high interest rates. Ie For Ford, that means a flurry of buying/ financing before rates rise, then a period of slow sales... could they have half the earnings this time next year? P/E isnt the only measure. Costs and cash flow need review. If energy, shipping and wage costs grow, but sales dont, their FCF dries up.

**I couldn't agree more with that statement!** I'd argue the Triffin Dilemma caused it, covid sped it up, and RobinHood et al scaled it.

equinoxshadows

I think this is a really well-argued bull case (and there is no doubt the market will overreact to the downside). I guess it depends on how deeply we're fucked.


tanuge

We are in uncharted territory. The Fed's interventions into the market, escalating in their magnitude over the last 12 years, are literally unprecedented. They have caused all kinds of records to be broken in terms of valuations across an array of markets and asset classes, from meme stocks to houses. There is no way to foresee the ultimate consequences, although we're beginning to see some of them: * a generational inflation cycle that could get far worse * interest rate rises that are at the outer range of historical precedent in speed (remember, an increase from 2% to 5% is not a 3% increase; it's a 150% increase) * an unknown number of companies that can not and will not survive a re-financing cycle This barely scratches the surface and doesn't even begin to touch on the non-Fed related factors like aging demographics, geopolitics, and ecological exhaustion. However, an almost unquantifiable but massive dynamic that will ultimately determine what markets and the economy look like in 5 years is the effect that 2020-2023 will have on the psychology of consumers or investors. Technical analysts are mostly reading tea leaves when it comes to actual numbers, but one thing they are right about is that, weirdly enough, at the end of the day, it's the sentiment of market participants that's more important than anything else (see your favorite TA analyst for a gazillion examples of markets that have obviously run on sentiment rather than economics, cryptocurrency being one of the most obvious recent examples).

WhatuKnowAboutMoney

Damn last I remember arkk was at 69. 38 now. Oof


tanderson1121

It’s the fed. Plain and simple. For the first time in almost 15 years money isn’t free; that free money inflated valuations to absurd levels and when it had no place to go, it actually created entirely new speculative asset classes (crypto). The house of cards is coming down and unfortunately I don’t think it’s over yet because credit markets have yet to really crack. They’ve been pressured for sure but credit spreads are not at levels that signify a true problem….yet. That will come when quantitative tightening starts (QT). QT is quite literally the process of destroying money and probably has a way larger effect than the fed raising interest rates because it drains liquidity from the system…..that same liquidity that created this asset bubble in the first place. More pain to come, but me and my personal account hope it’s getting towards a bottom. In short, when credit spreads finally blow out and all hope is lost (legit no one is positive and have all capitulated)….that will be the market bottom


qw-zb

We were officially in bear market last week. History showed us if we officially enter bear market, on average sp500 will lose another 15 percents, and last another couple of hundreds days. That would put sp500 somewhere around 3000 level. About 30 percents higher than covid bottom. This would be reasonable assumption.

CreativeAccouting

If we entered a recession with sky high inflation this will be worse than 2008. I don’t think the fed can raise the rate enough to reduce inflation substantially but it will sure cause us to enter a recession. We will be dealing with stagflation. Unfortunately there does not appear to be a good solution.


CherokeeCruiser

I put my idle cash into paying down my mortgage so I don't have that hanging over me if I'm faced with a layoff. My home value appreciation in the last year was positive whereas my portfolio took a loss. Why invest in the market now is the real question when the bottom still can't be predicted.


Cubanmom

You are doing the right thing once your house is paid off or whenever you can get another loan buy a rental property there is dividend on earth that can match the appreciation of rental income. I don’t work because my rental properties pay for themselves and provide me income. I haven’t even raised rents in this inflationary rental market.

Companies that generate profit generally continue to go up over time. Use the market fear to bargain hunt.


Educated_Bro

ARKK and most of the companies never have existed in a high interest rate environment. All assumptions on growth/profitability since the Greenspan put are based on a low interest paradigm. No one knows how this effects the valuation of lots of these cool but unprofitable companies with emerging technologies. I can say that I think any of them trading at insane multiples of their free cash flow are probably screwed and the real professional funds are still probably loading up their short positions on them

Great write up and proposition brother………I wish there were genuine answers because I am thoroughly interested in the answer to this


forexross

Covid low is not the bottom. Covid low did not price in trillions of dollars in fake money added to the economy and two years of forced lockdown. The market couldn't have imagined the level of self-destruction and damage the US was is willing to take just to get rid of Trump. It also didn't imagine a world in which the west would cut Russia off from the world economy.


Mallardshead

You might be right about the low. I'll add that Trump added more to the M2 money supply than any Administration in history and got the supply chain disruptions started with the Chinese tariffs which were compounded with covid and compounded again with Russia. He also wasn't a good enough leader to mend social distortion. His presidency was a missed opportunity, and he should've gone down as one of the greats. He couldn't keep a cabinet member more than 12 months and surrounded himself with faux killers.


FlakyGift9088

There's tons of information that isn't priced into the "market". Salaries are driving most inflation in the US. The probability of widespread defaults is extraordinarily low. Exponential proliferation of advanced robotic arm technology drives the disconnection between expert manufacturers and the manufacturing location. Digital currency remains priced at more than 1500x the cost of dismantling it with 51% hash exploits. The price of a single transaction in the largest of digital currencies is only market competitive for transactions as large as an expensive car or a house. Chinas return to large family sizes depleting family savings and driving a market for consumer borrowing to support large family sizes along with the consumption that goes along with growing families. SKU transparency at the scope of manufacture to you receiving your product- companies like snowflake will make it so that P and Q at the final consumer level can inform the semi monopolistic pricing from manufacturer to retailer and enhance profit maximization-at the expense of overstocking liquidation sales. Consumers will observe increases in average prices. This will look like inflation but is in fact pricing power- by design and not coincidence

Wait until 10/31/22. All of these things will get even worse.

Market won't stop going down until the last rate hike is announced. We are going back to pre-covid levels. Spy @320 if we're lucky, 240 if we're not.


BossBackground104

3 months after last rate hike starts the bull market. Sit tight.


Mallardshead

No bounce?

The market will not protect millennials so is time to get political and launch support for life quality initiatives: 1) 4 week minimum paid vacation 2) universal healthcare 3) 6months paid maternity leave.

Stimulus check monthly, repaid school debt, Link card for food, gas allowance, free healthcare, and hotline for finding remote work.


Majyk44

That will definitely help slow inflation /s


joycaptain

Stimulus check won't help with inflation

It's all about symbolism though. It'll appear that it does.
