The market has become increasingly volatile as fears of a global slowdown continue to pressure equities. With the extent of the slowdown in China unknown and plunging commodity prices, this volatility will likely continue for some time. Additionally, stock valuations remain high and earnings and revenue continue to decline. On the positive side, rate increases will likely remain subdued and sentiment is extremely negative. The market appears nearly as oversold as it was last August, before a major rally ensued. The economy in the US still appears relatively strong, outside of the energy space. Unless there is a shock to the system, we do not see a recession in the near future. If any positive news develops, such as a stabilization in commodity prices, the market could resume its uptrend. It is unlikely to be smooth sailing, however, as investors still have 2008 in their minds and fear another major bear market may be developing. Our base case is this is just a nasty correction and the bull market will resume. The higher volatility will make it difficult to own risk assets outright, but opportunities in the options market should be plentiful. When fear is rampant in the stock market, elevated option premiums make our strategy more attractive.
