    Aerial view of a volatile equity market

    Posted: 07 Jan 2019 03:00 AM PST

    Following one of the worst December performances in global equity market since the 1930s, the roller coaster ride continues in equity markets since the start of the new year. Meanwhile we have seen the VIX index reached the highest level since late 2011, and the elevated volatility is likely to carry on well into 2019 given several issues/trends the global market is facing: i.e. slowing global economic growth, central banks are stepping away from accommodative monetary policies, as well as political uncertainties particularly in the US, China and Europe.

    So how does all these affect investor's behaviour and strategies? A sharp rise in volatility may lead to violent technical adjustments made by investors with the aim to purely reduce the volatility of their portfolios, which means many companies with sound balance sheet, strong cash-generating capabilities and solid business models will be sold during this de-risking process together with the "bad stocks", creating a security selection environment across the board for investor to hunt for bargains.

    And to discover these attractive opportunities, we have created an "aerial view" of global equity market by applying a multi-factor quantitative analysis on a board range of listed companies across the globe and consolidated the results of individual stocks to form views on generic trends between different countries and sectors. The table below illustrates the results of our study of over 10,000 stocks across major stocks indices where some interesting observations can be made:

    Sector Momentum Score Value Score Quality Score Total Score
    Financial 49.6 63.0 51.9 54.8
    Info Tech 51.8 42.2 58.2 50.8
    Industrials 49.7 51.6 50.5 50.6
    Consumer Discrny 47.0 49.8 52.1 49.6
    Real Estate 53.4 52.3 42.6 49.4
    Materials 45.0 54.3 47.6 49.0
    Utilities 56.5 52.1 38.1 48.9
    Communication 49.3 44.5 51.7 48.5
    Energy 45.4 58.0 41.6 48.3
    Consumer Stable 46.4 44.0 49.9 46.8
    Health Care 52.5 23.6 48.6 41.6

    Utilities, Real Estate and Health Care stocks appears to be the sectors with the strongest momentum at the moment. Indeed, these sectors are typically regarded as safe heaven assets in a volatile market due to their stable cash flow and high dividend yield. Shares in Financials and Energy sectors have the most attractive valuation relative to other sectors, which is reflective of the dramatic declines in their asset prices (especially in oil price) over the past year. Moreover, despite the significant declines in value technology stocks have recently suffered (particularly by FAANG), they are still by far the sector with the strongest fundamentals.

    The most useful conclusion we can draw from this analysis is perhaps not just that Financial and Info Tech sectors appears to be the most rewarding hunting ground for investors who look for bargains during this time of uncertainty, but more importantly how these scores and ranking changes over time and how we can interpret these change to understand the development in global market and investor's sentiments, which ultimately help us to form the most sensible investment strategy.

    Any thoughts/ideas are welcome.

    JPM, BAC, WFC, USB, GS, C, BK all have P/E's of less than 15. To add to that, they have P/BV of less than 2. Am I missing something or are banks a good position to get into?

    If your question is "I have $10,000, what do I do?" or anything similar. There is no single answer to this question, but we will also need A LOT MORE information if we are to give some sort of answer

    • How old are you?
    • Are you employed/making income? How much?
    • What are your objectives with this money? (buy a house? Retirement savings?)
    • What is your risk tolerance? (Do you mind risking it at blackjack or do you need to know its 100% safe?)
    • What are you current holdings? (Do you already have exposure to specific funds and sectors?)
    • Any other assets? House paid off? Cars? Expensive girlfriend? (not really an asset)
    • What is your time horizon? Do you need this money next month? Next 20yrs?
    • Any big debts?
    • Any other relevant financial information will be useful to give you a proper answer.

    Sanity check: planning to buy the Vanguard Balanced ETF Portfolio (VBAL), is it a reasonable time in the global economy to do so?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2019 06:40 PM PST

    I know that you don't want to buy assets when they're at a peak, or on their way down (e.g. buying Bitcoin before the bear market of last year). Is there particular reason to think the global economy (as covered by Vanguard's balanced portfolio) is in such a state?

    Here's the breakdown of this portfolio (it's from Vanguard Canada):

    Vanguard US Total Market Index ETF 24.1%

    Vanguard Canadian Aggregate Bond Index ETF 23.7%

    Vanguard FTSE Canada All Cap Index ETF 17.6%

    Vanguard Ftse Developed All Cap EX North America Index Etf 13.8%

    Vanguard Global ex-US Aggregate Bond Index ETF CAD-hedged 9.5%

    Vanguard US Aggregate Bond Index ETF CAD-hedged 7.2%

    Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets All Cap Index ETF 4.1%

    Bonus question: In general, is there a way for an individual investor like me to learn the conventional wisdom on such questions to avoid rookie mistakes?

    GE and reinvesting dividends

    Posted: 06 Jan 2019 05:00 PM PST

    Hello, I am a semi-new investor so I have knowledge, but I still have so much that I don't know so I would appreciate any feedback/comments

    GE may be down, but from my research they seem to just be going through a rough patch, however they are up 18% in the last month alone, are they worth a long term (multi-year) buy, it wait until they drop again?

    Also if you get a dividend from a stock you invest in, should you ever reinvest 100% in that stock, it is it better to keep it as cash?

    REITS constantly dilute nonstop.... what's the appeal of these things?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2019 02:44 PM PST

    Any REIT buyers wanna explain this stuff plz?

    Rent vs Buy argument

    Posted: 06 Jan 2019 12:38 PM PST

    1 argument i always hear against paying cash for a home is the missed opportunity cost of investing the cash in the market for a better return.

    If this is true why don't you hear people refinance their homes to take equity out to invest in the market?

    Is FTBFX a good choice for a 3-fund portfolio?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2019 10:19 PM PST

    I rebalanced my portfolio in Jan 2018 to be more along the lines of a 3-fund portfolio with FTBFX as the bond part of it.

    My understanding is that the bonds return rate either stays stable or increases if stocks go down. But FTBFX is also down ~2.5% for the year. Is this a normal scenario? Should I have invested in US Treasury Bonds instead for the bond portion?
