Good morning.
We’re still anticipating the market to truly move out of its bearish trend as soon as the Federal Reserve pivots from hiking interest rates. That’s likely on track after the next two meetings to wrap up the year. However, some traders see the Fed making a move akin to the Bank of England’s intervention in the bond market earlier this month.
Akin to Operation Twist back in 2012, some expect the Fed to continue talking about hiking interest rates – while also intervening in the bond market to better control yields there. If that happens, we could see markets calm down – and potentially even jump higher as traders close out of short positions.
Until that’s more than just talk, however, we’re likely still working out an exact market bottom in the coming months. We still see plenty of trading opportunities on the short side, with prices also low enough for long-term buyers to be happy here.

When it comes to taxation, the government’s vision is based on movement. It’s not until you make a move and take a gain that your paper profits become real, and therefore taxable. That’s a key reason why Warren Buffett’s favorite holding period is forever.
But that may soon change, thanks to a proposed billionaire’s tax. To fund the latest spending programs, the government is looking at taxing billionaires, or those who made more than $100 million in income for three years in a row, on unrealized gains. Rather than hold forever, these ultra-wealthy may have to start selling off shares to pay taxes they would be charged for not selling off shares.
While that sounds roundabout, it could lead to a wave of selling that would hit everyday Americans in their 401k or IRAs as well. While wealth inequality is an issue, this top-down approach could kill the markets and make all worse off rather than better redistribute wealth. Keep an eye on the passage of this tax. It may not happen this year, but it’s now on the table in future years when it may be more politically viable.

For all the predicted election volatility, we’re not seeing it yet. In fact, the market’s sideways turn in recent sessions looks more like a sailing ship stuck in windless doldrums.
But, again, beyond the headline numbers for stocks, it’s still earnings season. And companies that have thrived during the pandemic are continuing to do well. For the rest, it’s really a function of whether or not things have been as bad as expected… or worse. Chances are we’ll get a stronger market trend after next week’s election. The real question is how many days it will take for the outcome to be clear.
