Presidential Election Years and Markets

2011-04-16T12:31:00.002-04:00

Presidential elections affect the stock markets. Almost invariably, the first two years of a US President's term are marked by wars, recessions, and bear markets. The latter two years usually involve bull markets and prosperity. For this reason, it is very useful to consider this factor in your investments.

Pre-election years, such as 2011, tend to be the best. Since 1833, they have averaged a yearly gain of 10.3%, and have been up 33 of 44 years.

Election years, tend to be next best. Since 1833, they have averaged a yearly gain of 5.8%, and have been up 29 of 44 years.

The Mid Year is third in returns. Since 1833, these years have averaged a yearly return of 4%, and have been up 26 of 44 years.

The first year of a President's term has been the worst for the markets. Since 1833, they have only been up 20 of 44 years, for a 2% average gain.

Is the G Fund the Place to Be in 2009?

2009-01-11T11:29:00.001-05:00

Let's look at G fund returns for the month of December and the following
year....

2001 .42%..next year 5%
2002 .38%..next year 4.11%
2003 .49%..next year 4.3%
2004 .38%..next year 4.49%
2005 .45%..next year 4.93%
2006 .34%..next year 4.87%
2007 .41%..next year 3.75%

Dec 2008 return for G fund was 0.24% which is an annualized rate of
2.88%

Equities should have a much higher return in 2009 than the G fund, given
the major hit that they received in 2008.

TSP Advisory Services: The Creation Year

2008-12-30T15:27:00.000-05:00

In providing TSP Advisory Services performance records, we've previously
provided all records of each service from 2005 to the present.

However, in reviewing these records, we've noted a strong tendency for
advisory services to do exceptionally well in their creation years, yet
to fall off thereafter. As the creation years generally do NOT have
subscribers for the entire year, the performance during those years
cannot be verified.

Therefore, in an effort to ensure the validity of these records, we will
no longer track creation year performance records. Tracking will begin
with the first full year of performance, in which subscriptions or
official records were publicly available during the entire year.

Our TSP Advisory Services performance files have been revised accordingly.

September Song

2008-08-29T08:06:00.002-04:00

September is a fascinating month for the markets.

It is traditionally the worst month of the year. That is, over the past
60 years, if you had invested only in September, your return would be
lower than that of any other month. In fact, you would lose about .6%
EACH YEAR, on average.

Yet, over the last five years, September has been far more
promising. It had the second best monthly return both last year and over the
past three years. (One year = 3.5%) (Three years = 2.2% yearly)

So, we are now likely beginning to enter a positive season for the markets. The seasonally bullish season used to begin in mid October but now seems to begin as early as September.

That said, do you think we should hold on or use the upcoming rally (assuming that we see one this year) to exit the markets? Will we see another bear cycle next year? What are your thoughts?

Selling In A Bear Market

2008-07-23T08:19:00.004-04:00

I think its fairly clear at this point that we are not only in a long term bear market, but that we will be moving lower from here, perhaps considerably lower. Note the two year head and shoulders formation that began in late 2006.

That said, due to seasonal and other factors, we'll likely be moving higher in the short term. Should the I fund reach the top of its current trend line, it would appear to be a good time to move to the sidelines. Otherwise, we continue to monitor the base and sell if it is breached.

What is your opinion of the state of the markets today?

How Should the Fed Fight Stagflation?

2008-06-11T16:34:00.003-04:00

The Fed continues to fight the stagflation being experienced in the US by attacked the worst offender. Of course, the emphasis is on fighting the recession as this is an election year. Whenever there is a recession, the party in power generally gets thrown out, so there is always an emphasis on improving the economy regardless of the inflationary implications. In fact, that's what we've seen this year as well. Interest rates have been lowered dramatically despite the huge rises in the price of energy, and the huge declines in the value of the USD. Finally, the Fed thought they had the recessionary pressures under control and felt that they could now begin to attack the larger enemy...inflation. But as soon as they try, the recessionary pressures rise up out of the grave.
It becomes like punching a pillow. Whichever side you attack, the other comes back to bite you.

The Fed had planned to begin raising interest rates soon. However, with the markets tanking, will the Fed still take this bold step in this, an election year? Or will they, instead, continue to lower rates up until the election.

What do you think?
