Is It Really Just a ‘Glitch’?

BY: NICOLAS PIQUARD, CFA®, VICE-PRESIDENT, PORTFOLIO MANAGER AND OPTIONS STRATEGIST, HORIZONS ETFS

January 4, 2019

Trump’s pronouncement of last month’s market action as a “glitch”, reminds me of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

A well-known scene in that film depicts a sword fight between King Arthur and the Black Knight – the latter of whom, according to Wikipedia, “suffers from unchecked overconfidence and a staunch refusal ever to give up.”

As he is being utterly beaten by King Arthur, the Black Knight fails to recognize the seriousness of the situation – referring to his lost limbs as flesh wounds and scratches. It sounds like the Black Knight would be good at writing tweets on behalf of Trump.

The fact of the matter is, when the stock market reaches new lows at the end of the year (in December when we normally see rallies), the picture for the following year is most often terrible. As the chart below indicates, the stock market has been down by18% on average during the years following those in which new lows were reached in December.

Despite poor risk signals since November, I had hoped to see a Santa Claus rally going into the end of the year and to watch out for positive stock action in January. Unfortunately, Santa never showed up this year for stocks, and that may be a worse sign than ever.
