It's amazing how confidently, breathtakingly wrong someone can be.

That's the curious thing about market analysis.  Your analysis can be spot-on and the outcome can be completely not what you predicted.  Sometimes that's because your metrics weren't the correct ones, other times its just because that's what happens.

"the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent"†.... and other such notables.

†supposedly said by Keynes, but there's reason to doubt he actually said it...

Also a system can't be measured without being changed.  If somebody comes up with the perfect market analysis and it gets out to a broader audience, all the people trying to take advantage of it will change the market to where the analysis is no longer valid.

Paul Krsek believes the Top is In or Does he ?


Stocks are the Most Overbought in 22 Years! So What?
January 24, 2018

The stock market is the most overbought since Bill Clinton was president, but that may actually be a good thing according to analysts who appeared on CNBC Monday.
 
Ari Wald, head of technical analysis at Oppenheimer, told CNBC's "Trading Nation" on Monday that the S&P 500's 14-month relative strength index (RSI) surpassed the 87 level for the first time in nearly 22 years.
 
The relative strength index (RSI) is a charting tool used by every technical analyst in the world.  The index ranges from 0 to 100. A market is considered to be overbought when the index is at 70 or above. That is often a time when caution should prevail.
 
A market is considered to be oversold when the index drops to 30 or below.  When the index falls below 30 it has often been a great time to buy bargains.
 
RSI 87 on the S&P 500 is a level that has been reached only 1 percent of the time since 1930. The other periods in which the index moved that high were in 1996, 1986 and 1955. This was during three of the strongest bull markets in history.
 
"There's really two key takeaways," said Wald. "One, even when you got to those high RSI readings, it was still followed by above-average returns. Two, the RSI indicator peaked at least a year ahead of the market on all those occasions."
 
In other words, the stock market kept going up after hitting the RSI 87 level, and it kept going up for quite a while.
 
Wald dusted off the history books. In 1996, the RSI hit 87 in June - from there to the market peak, the S&P 500 rose 128 percent. A decade earlier, the RSI reached similar levels and the S&P 500 proceeded to gain roughly 50 percent through to the bull market's high.
 
Going further back, in 1955, the RSI peaked at 88 in July and afterward the market gained around 15 percent through to the top of its bullish stretch.

 

It seems counter intuitive for the market to be so overbought and yet keep going up. But that is exactly what happened in these major bull market cycles.
 
The current bull market has run for nearly nine years and most analysts do not see an end in sight. It is the second-longest bull market in history, beaten only by the stretch from 1990 to 2000. Since the bottom in 2009, the S&P 500 has climbed roughly 320 percent. The 1990-2000 bull market rose 417 percent.
 
"Add it up using history as a guide, and how we see it is these overbought conditions are arguing against the top and instead for a continuation of the bull market," said Wald. He credits "broad-based internal breadth, cyclical leadership, and strong credit" as the main contributors to the markets' strength.
 
Bill Baruch, President of Blue Line Futures, is also bullish on the S&P 500 even as the equity market trades at its highest level in history.
 
"The market is not correcting. The question is, where's the next 1 percent to 2 percent? I believe the next 1 percent to 2 percent is higher," Baruch told "Trading Nation" on Monday. "I don't imagine getting any sort of correction until after March."
 
Baruch targets 2,847 for the S&P 500 for 2018, roughly flat with Tuesday's trading levels. Counting from the beginning of the year, Baruch's target suggests a more than 6 percent gain for the S&P 500 in 2018.
 
At 5T we have been studying this overbought condition for a few months. It has been easy to see the 87-level approaching and we couldn't help but wonder if it would be reached again. Well, it has.
 
We are inclined to agree with Wald and Baruch. The market seems to be headed higher. That is not to say we won't have corrections along the way. Baruch says that he does not expect a correction until after March. He doesn't say there won't be a correction.
 
We have said before that any significant correction will be bought. That remains our "base case" for 2018. In fact, we aren't waiting for the entire market to correct. Individual stocks have been getting hit, here and there, as sector rotation takes place. A few companies have been hit with large losses as a result of the recent tax reform and their shares have been taken down. We are trying to use circumstances like these to buy.
 
Neither sector rotation, nor temporary hits from one time tax reform have anything to do with the long-term performance of great companies. Therefore, we are buyers. We added to Johnson & Johnson today after a 4.5% decline yesterday. I can't remember a single day that there haven't been J&J products in our home. I don't imagine there ever will be a day. This company just keeps growing!
 
Wall Street has already had a remarkable run to begin the year. The S&P 500 is up 6 percent, the Dow also 6 percent and the Nasdaq nearly 9 percent for the year to date.
 
The consumer discretionary sector is the best performer of the S&P 500 year-to-date, while the telecom and utilities sectors are the worst performers.
 
REITS utilities, and other interest sensitive stocks are actually quite oversold. We are shopping in this market place too because we do not believe that long-term rates are headed significantly higher. It is still smart to shop in the bargain bin from time to time!
 
Look for stocks to move higher for the foreseeable future, albeit with corrections along the way. Dow 30,000 is not out of the question. Neither is S&P 500 3000. Those are not necessarily predictions, but it wouldn't surprise us one bit if we see those levels sometime in 2018.
 
All the best,

TL;DR : TOP IS IN

NOTE: I am not agreeing nor disagreeing with Paul Krsek.

Is your "TOP IS IN" your own opinion or what you think Paul Krsek is saying?

It's fine to express one's own opinion. Although I do find the ":" implies that DS thinks Krsek was saying that the top is in, even though Krsek clearly did not.

If that is the case, I believe this sort of blatant misrepresentation/misinformation should to be stopped and the post removed. If one can't sit through an article and process the info properly, then decides to claim the author had said the opposite of what was in the article, well seriously, L2R.

If that has nothing to do with the Krsek article, then say w/e, let's speculate together, it's fun.

Hmmm, let's see...  2% market gains per week, times 52 weeks per year, means we should reach... HOLY SHIT BATMAN!

Yea, apparently the top is never in.  Everyone who got out of the market, at any time ever, royally screwed up.  At this rate, I'm buying an island for Christmas.

The Schiller PE ratio is antiquated. The last 20 years is the new normal. We're over valued but not nose bleed territory. Some of the best gains occur in the last few years of bull markets.

The top was in April 17, 2017???? Somebody has been missing out on some NICE gains! 
2008 is going to look like the mini recession compared to what is going to happen on Monday. Top is in.

Robert Schiller said the market was like 1928.. So we have 1 year and 9 months before the big dump..:)

The Schiller PE ratio is antiquated. The last 20 years is the new normal.

"This time it's different!"

Be careful with that logic.  It's cost a lot of people a lot of money!

CAPE will drop considerably when the 2008 earnings fall off this year. That's not to say that we won't have a tumble but CAPE isn't a perfect indicator, especially when there was a recession in the older half of the 10 year look back period.

Using the data from multpl.com, I guess removing 2008 from the data set will probably notch PE10 down by less than a point ie. from 35 to 34.4 or something if price and earnings were level for the rest of the year. The numerator (which is Latin for "number eight-er") has a far more powerful effect.

This makes sense, since the whole point of the CAPE is to smooth the earnings, so any one year (even a really bad year like 2008) should not have too large an effect. To me, this is a indication that the CAPE is working as intended.

I see over a 3 point drop, or nearly 10%. 2008 earnings were ~17.5 and 9/2017 earnings were 106.95. If we have another 107 replace the 17, it'll be larger than a 0.6 drop.

Who ever did the graph over time and put Thorstach's comments on there should update it.  Seems we haven't heard anything from them for a while.  I bet the graph shows why.

You're right, I took the previous poster's statement as fact without checking the numbers myself. When I do the calculation, I get the PE10 dropping from 34.75 to ~31.3, so about 10% lower as you said, but still higher than any time other than the tech bubble peak.

Does a lack of Thorstach posts mean that the top is not in, or is it a contrary indicator that the top is actually in?
