" Current liquidity conditions dictate conservatism.

    " Current liquidity conditions dictate conservatism. The Fed is aggressively raising interest rates and reducing its balance sheet. Further, fiscal spending is falling well short of that in the prior two years. As a result, liquidity is exiting the financial markets, which augurs a bearish trend. 

    We are not fearmongering, but consider that CAPE fell to seven in the bear market and recession of 1981-1982. That was the last time with comparable inflation as today. Assuming no change in earnings, the S&P 500 would have to drop to 925 to reach a CAPE of 7!“ ~   Michael Lebowitz

    Interesting that SnP would need to drop 925 to get to CAPE 7.  Since my initial price target on the SnP is 3200 (31.8 retrace from high) if I do the math backwards and add 925 to 3200 we get 4125.  I'm assuming CAPE would be a a little more if we're a little higher so 4150-4200 seems like a beauty area to re-enter a longer term 6-9 months SnP short.

    The CAPE Ratio (also known as the Shiller P/E or PE 10 Ratio) is an acronym for the Cyclically- Adjusted  Price-to- Earnings Ratio. The ratio is calculated by dividing a company’s stock price by the average of the company’s earnings for the last ten years, adjusted for inflation.
