1 Traders have been selling high-yield junk bond funds heavily, including the most
popular exchange-traded funds. That has pushed the market price on these funds to
more than 1% below the value of their underlying securities, a rarity for ETFs. See
page 2.
What We're Watching

Stocks Short-Term
Short-term risk has declined
again as signs of pessimism
increase and stocks head into a
consistently positive time of year
2 Since the inception of S&P 500 futures, they have lost more than -1% during the
week of December option expiration only 1 time out of 32 years. The average return
is +1.1%, with an average drawdown (i.e. maximum loss) of -0.7% versus an average
maximum gain of +2.1%, a 3-to-1 reward-to-risk ratio. If Monday of expiration week
closed lower (like it did on Monday), then the rest of the week was positive 8 out of 9
times, averaging +1.9%.
Stocks Intermediate-Term
Risk has declined back to neutral
after rising to above-average
levels on December 4, with the
huge increase in uncertainty
being the main factor
Bonds
The Optimism Index for bonds
has pushed into extreme territory
for the first time since mid-2012,
suggesting a rise in yields is
becoming more likely
Gold
Optimism is in extreme
pessimism territory, but has a bit
to go before matching extremes
from the past year

Nearing Panic In High Yield Bonds
iShares iBoxx $ High Yield

For HYG, JNK And PHB

Late last week, we took a look at the "triple time frame" rate
of change in high-yield (junk) bonds, which was showing one
of the most severe bouts of selling pressure in 30 years.
When we see sharp dislocations like this, it makes the job of
arbitrageurs more difficult. Some love it because it creates
opportunities for large gains; others loathe it because it
makes their daily cash flow unpredictable.
One of the favorite targets of arbitrageurs is closed-end
funds. Driven by retail investors, the market price of closedend funds often drifts from the value of the underlying assets
held by the fund. An arbitrageur can buy the fund at its
market price, then hold it and wait for the market to catch up.
There is still risk involved because the underlying assets
could deteriorate, but buying the assets at a discount
provides the investor with a tailwind and a greater chance of
a positive return than if they had bought the assets at fair
market value.
With exchange-traded funds, arbitrageurs don't have as
much opportunity because of how the funds are priced and

traded. We rarely see popular ETFs trade with a large

premium or discount to the fund's Net Asset Value.
That's what makes the current situation unusual for the three
most popular ETFs that track the high-yield bond market.
HYG, JNK and PHB are the three go-to funds for investors
who want quick and convenient access to high-yield bonds.
The vast majority of the time, the three funds all have a
market price that's within 1% of the underlying value of the
funds' holdings.
Not now.
Investors have started to panic, and the funds' prices are now
more than a percentage point below their NAV. We only
have 7 years' worth of history, but every other time the
discount dove to -1% is shown in the table on the next page.
It didn't say much about the shorter-term prospects of the
funds, but longer-term it was a good sign of irrational selling
pressure. From 3 months forward, the only negative instance
occurred during the financial crisis of 2008.

The Active Studies highlight studies we've discussed in prior reports that are still "active". This means that the market is
still within the time frame that was indicated as being effective, meaning it showed returns or consistency that was
significantly different than random during the study period. For some studies, there was not a concrete time frame given,
but rather general market conditions. The study would remain "active" as long as those market conditions were in effect.

Bottom Line: Odd readings continue in this market. The VIX "fear gauge" declined more than
-3% despite more than a -0.5% loss in the S&P 500, the first time this has happened on any
day other than a Friday (traders often reprice options on Friday to account for time decay
during weekends). When it has happened (again, only on Fridays), the S&P 500 rose over the
next three days 21 out of 28 times. One of the most seasonally positive times of the year
begins now, though that is always only a tertiary consideration. More importantly, there are
numerous signs of excessive pessimism on a shorter-term time frame, with the Optix at 25 and
confirmed by a variety of other measures, so risk has declined again.

Bottom Line (Updated 12/12/14): The last update from December 4 raised the risk level to
slightly above-average due to a number of overly-optimistic readings. Now that stocks have sold
off, and more importantly we've seen a spike in uncertainty, that risk has decreased back to
normal levels. The way things are going, it may not take much more to trigger below-average
risk on a 1-3 month time frame. As always we will monitor that on a day-by-day basis.

BULL PHASE
The Typical Sentiment Cycle is a real bull-to-bear phase from the S&P 500 in 1966. It displayed the classic price
phases that many cycles exhibit. The WE ARE HERE box is a partially subjective judgment based on sentiment
conditions, price behavior and fundamental ratios. It should proceed forward the majority of the time, but may skip
backward as new information becomes known. These are rough approximations only.
The case against using something like this is that every cycle is different. No two markets ever look exactly the
same, or exactly like this. Sometimes, like the mid-1990s, the middle phase just keeps going and going and going.
More typically, stocks spend 1-3 months in each phase, though there is wide variation in that, from weeks to years.
Note that "maximum optimism" and "maximum pessimism" normally occur before a market peak and market trough,
respectively. It's rare for bull phases to end when optimism is at its highest point. The same goes for bear phases,
but that is less consistent - sometimes a bear will end in panic and both price and sentiment will bottom at the same
time.
1 What to watch for: Divergences with breadth figures; "This time is different" articles; arrogance from bullish commentators; proliferation of new
types of funds; closing of long-time funds that are not fully invested.
2 What to watch for: Divergences with breadth figures, doomsday prophesies on mainstream media, stocking up of staples among consumers,
heavy trading activity, ridicule of "knife catching" buyers.
3 Watch to watch for: Explosive price gains over 2-3 day periods; massive thrusts in market breadth; "Just another bear market rally" articles;
minimal pullbacks after short-term overbought readings

For most of them, sentiment above 70 can be

considered extreme optimism, after which the sector
tends to struggle. Sentiment below 30 tends to
indicate exreme pessimism, after which the sector
usually rallies. The box will turn red if the score is
above 70, and green if below 30.

The Correction Risk Level is a quick way to gauge what our indicators and studies are suggesting. The higher the risk, the more likely the
market is to decline. Another way to look at it is in terms of cash. If the Correction Risk Level is 0, then we would be more inclined to keep
0% of our portfolio in cash (i.e. we would be fully invested). But if the Correction Risk Level is 10, then we would be more inclined to keep
100% of our portfolio in cash (i.e. no exposure to stocks).
In both cases, we take the overriding trend of the market into account. If the indicators are showing excessive amounts of bearish opinion,
then the market is more likely to respond favorably to that if we're in a bull market, and the Correction Risk Level would be lower. But if
we're in a bear market, then bearish sentiment extremes are less reliable, and the Correction Risk Level would be a bit higher.
We take our studies into account as well. So if the indicators are murky, but we have some very compelling studies suggesting the market
should rally, then the Correction Risk Level might be lower than the indicators would suggest.
The default Correction Risk Level is 5, which is where it would be if there is no edge present among our indicators and studies.
We do not suggest using these Correction Risk Levels in any kind of mechanical way. They are meant to help support any existing
technical or fundamental research you may be doing. When the Correction Risk Level is very high, though, we do recommend backing off
on long positions or possibly considering short positions (especially during a bear market). For both time frames, aCorrection Risk Level
below 3 can be considered "low risk" while a level above 7 can be considered "high risk". The more extreme the Correction Risk Level, the
more likely the market will respond in a timely manner.
The most likely time for these Correction Risk Levels to fail is during a time of trend transition from a bull to bear market (or bear to
bull). That is often good information in itself - if the Correction Risk Level is very high, for example, but prices continue to rise, then that is a
heads-up that buyers are very interested, and we will likely see even higher prices going forward.
Short-Term Risk Level
Intermediate-Term Risk Level
The Risk Level travels on a scale of 0 (extremely

low risk) to 10 (extremely high risk). Based on our
study of indicators and technical movements, it
represents the risk to traders of a correction over
the next week.
The Risk Level travels on a scale of 0 (extremely low

risk) to 10 (extremely high risk). Based on our study
of indicators and technical movements, it represents
the risk to traders of a correction over the next 3
months.
