Worst Market In Almost 50 Years (12/18)

December 6, 2018 By dkreinces

The article below explains that 2018 is one of the worst market environments in almost 50 years. Global equities (VT) are down 4% year-to-date (YTD) and long-term Treasuries (TLT) are down almost 5%.

The Income & Growth investable benchmark is down 4% and on track for its worst calendar year since the crash of 2008.

Still, ETF PM’s active management delivered gains in 2008 and this year as well. Our Max Alpha (MA) and Market Neutral 3x (MN 3x) strategies are currently up by 8% and 11% YTD, respectively, and Tactical 3x (T3) is flat for the year.

And not a single one of them is on track to post a return this year of more than 5 percent, a phenomenon last observed in 1972, according to Ed Clissold, a strategist at the firm.
