John Hussman (Buys Sells HoldingsIndustry Weightings) John Hussman Weekly Market Comment
June-29-2009

John Hussman - John Hussman Weekly Market Comment
As of last week, the Market Climate for stocks remained characterized by modest overvaluation and mixed market action. Our best estimate remains that the S&P 500 is currently priced to deliver 10-year total returns in the area of about 7.8% annually. That's not a terrible expected return, particularly relative to the yields presently available on bonds, but my impression is that expected long-term returns here come with a great deal of shorter-term risk in the intervening months, quarters and even years. On a very short-term basis, the market may benefit from favorable end-of-month and pre-holiday seasonality this week, but we wouldn't speculate on that basis. Beyond that, I expect that over the course of the coming quarters, we will observe fresh economic difficulties, and eventually prices that fully reflect those difficulties and also assume their permanence.

John Hussman (Buys Sells HoldingsIndustry Weightings) Long-Horizon Risk Aversion Creates Headwinds
June-21-2009

John Hussman - Long-Horizon Risk Aversion Creates Headwinds
No question about it, the stock market has enjoyed a nice rebound from deeply oversold conditions, amounting to a recovery of just under 1/3 of losses that the market suffered from its 2007 peak. This has been accompanied, until recent weeks, by an easing in risk aversion from what, in hindsight, could be called “fear lows” (though not necessarily the “revulsion lows”) of this downturn.

John Hussman (Buys Sells HoldingsIndustry Weightings) Hussman Weekly Market Comment: We are fully hedged

John Hussman - Hussman Weekly Market Comment: We Are Fully Hedged
As of last week, the Market Climate for stocks was characterized by modest overvaluation (except on earnings-based measures that assume a quick return to 2007 record profit margins) and a modest deterioration in already tepid market action, but sufficient to put us on alert. The Strategic Growth Fund is fully hedged here – invested in a broad range of individual stocks, with an offsetting short sale of equal size in the S&P 500, Russell 2000 and Nasdaq 100 indices.

John Hussman (Buys Sells HoldingsIndustry Weightings) John Hussman Weekly Market Comment
June-1-2009

John Hussman - John Hussman Weekly Market Comment
As of last week, the Market Climate for stocks was characterized by modestly unfavorable valuations and enough deterioration in (already tepid) price-volume action to place us on the defensive against potentially abrupt weakness. The Strategic Growth Fund does continue to carry just under 1% of assets in index call options as something of an “anti-hedge” to soften our defenses in response to any further market strength that might emerge, but our primary concern here is defending capital. Though the recent advance has not produced strong price-volume behavior on our measures, we've clearly observed much improvement since the lows, and I expect that this will make it much easier to recruit sufficiently favorable price-volume behavior in the months ahead. The ideal situation would be to observe a significant decline back toward the 700-800 area, which might provide a more durable base for subsequent strength. In any event, I expect that the market may remain in a very wide 25-35% trading range for some time – not just a few months. As I've noted before, a 1/3 retracement of the decline since the 2007 peak would represent a move to about 975, which is possible, but again, we would More...

John Hussman (Buys Sells HoldingsIndustry Weightings) Hussman Weekly Market Comment
May-26-2009

John Hussman - Hussman Weekly Market Comment
Straight to the chase – our measures of market internals have somewhat unexpectedly broken down in recent sessions, partly as a result of hostile interest rate action, as well as reversals in a number of sensitive measures of "distribution" (largely driven by price-volume behavior) in an environment where overall price-volume behavior was already tepid. Breadth as measured by advances versus declines is still the clear bright spot in the market's action. More...

Robert Rodriguez (Buys Sells HoldingsIndustry Weightings) Bob Rodriguez Commentary: We have a new word for it, “repression.”
May-25-2009

Robert Rodriguez - Bob Rodriguez Commentary: We Have A New Word For It, “repression.”
There is little question that this is the worst economic contraction since the Great Depression. It is worse than a recession but not as bad as the Great Depression. We have a new word for it, “repression.” This is not a typical recession and, therefore we do not believe that the economy will respond to normal economic policy stimulus. We expressed the likelihood of this view in September 2007 when we said that normal Fed policy actions would likely prove ineffectual in dealing with the expanding crisis. Most economists were not of this opinion. More...

May-24-2009

David Dreman - David Dreman: Let's Hoard Crude Oil
My idea is that we accumulate useful resources, such as crude for our strategic oil reserve. This would create new jobs, halt a deflationary spiral and give us some protection against the next international oil crisis. If the government isn't going to buy oil, you can do so yourself by purchasing oil producers. More...
