The Fed Kills the Momentum Trade

The Fed Kills the Momentum Trade

Posted by | Jan 28, 2022 | , ,

In June 2020, Barstool Sports founder and wannabe investor Dave Portnoy infamously said that “stocks only go up.” In 2022? Sorry Dave. In today’s video, Ted Bauman walks us through the consequences of the Fed’s recent hawkish turn. Even after big declines since the beginning of the year, there’s plenty of overvaluation in the market still. Ted reviews the history of stock performance in Fed tightening cycles, which is better than you might imagine. But there’s one big fear hovering over the market … what if the Fed is tightening into a downturn? That would be bad and not just for momentum stocks.

I can get pretty geeked out by stock market figures and stats. Like yesterday’s action, for example. The S&P 500 Index was down 4% at one point. Yet it managed to rally and ended the day in positive territory. It was a rally for the record books, for sure. That’s only the third time in the last 45 years that markets have recovered so fast from such a steep decline in the same day! But yesterday’s epic display of percentage losses and gains in the S&P 500 aren’t the only ones I find interesting…

“Active managers” are hedge and mutual funds that constantly trade in and out of stocks to outperform the market. The opposite of active management is (you guessed it!) passive management, also known as indexing. An index fund holds stocks from a specific segment of the market, or index. Each stock is held in exact proportion to its weight in that index. The most common form of indexing is exchange-traded funds (ETFs). If you want to invest in the S&P 500, for example, you buy the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE: SPY). As the index performs, so the fund performs. If active managers are supposed to be so good, why do they keep underperforming the market and passive index funds? And what could change that? The answer will surprise you…
