How Much Worse Can It Get? Revisiting The Bond/Stock Ratio |
Seeking Alpha - Sept. 6, 2011 - By Michael A. Gayed
“Last year we said, ‘Things can’t go on like this’, and they didn’t, they got worse.” – Will Rogers
I’ve noted in a number of my articles that I like to look at the price ratio of bonds (risk-off) relative to the stock market (risk-on). The idea in doing this is to identify the underlying inter-market trend between the two asset classes, and also to gauge the potential for continued leadership or weakness. As readers of my articles are aware, the disconnect of the bond/stock ratio to the behavior of defensive sectors of the market (XLU, XLP, XLV) was one of the real reasons I believed we would experience a Summer Crash.
Having said all that, take a look at the ratio of the iShares Barclays 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF (IEF) relative to the Russell 2000 ETF (IWM). I decided to use small-caps in the ratio this time around to compare two extremes: Treasuries as a main proxy for being risk-off, and the small-cap segment of the stock market as the main proxy for highest beta/risk. As a reminder, a rising price ratio means the numerator/IEF is outperforming (up more/down less) the denominator/IWM.
For the complete article.
