WLS-AM 890 - January 22, 2022 Volatility, the New Normal?

Episode Thoughts:
Stocks have begun to signal widespread investor capitulation as key indices fall below support levels, potentially triggering forced sales.
Long-term market and inflation trends indicate lower asset prices as inflationary forces skew the GDP compensation share back toward labor and away from asset owners.
Record margin debt and credit card debt combined with low investor cash allocations and reduced personal savings indicate negative retail investor liquidity flows.
Weak consumer and business sentiment, falling real incomes, poor Q4 bank earnings, rising initial claims, and China's economic issues point toward an economic downturn.
Since supply-side factors support inflation, investors should not expect the Federal Reserve to bail them out again - meaning it could take decades for the stock market to recover if it crashes.

WLS-AM 890 - Portfolio Risk Budgeting And Why It‘s Important

The term “risk” as it relates to investing may have negative or scary connotations in an investor’s mind.

WLS-AM 890 - Even A Small Percentage Of Outperformance Adds Up Over Time

It is painful to watch the value of your portfolio drop, which is why we've partnered with a select group of institutional money managers who generally do not work directly with individual investors, that have spent years developing proprietary mathematical and statistical-based investments models.  
September and October are historically volatile months.  We expect the market to stabilize and move higher into year-end. When bearish bets are near records and inverse ETF volumes are at all-time highs, we are bullish. Generally, when we see bearish bets hit an extreme, this is a contrarian signal.  That is, when bearish bets are at highs, this is the peak level of bearishness and can mean we are close to a bottom. So, in our view, this is a positive development.  This is another reason we do not think investors should get too bearish here.
