Alphabet Soup Rebound Vs, Ls, Ws, and more?
by The Investment U Research Team
Going on a third day of negative numbers we the media has quickly shifted it’s recovery prose and praise to warnings of reserve and reticence. How soon they change their mind…
But this pullback wasn’t unexpected… at least not by us. See, “Crazy Pills on Wall Street” and “Markets Fooling Themselves?”. Surprise, surprise the there’s lots of negative news coming out – and plenty more still coming down the pipes.
What’s even more amusing is to see the pundits talk about the alphabet soup that is the shape of the recovery. Will it be an L shaped rebound or a W shaped one? Who knows. But we’d like to add a few more options into the mix for the media to discuss:
Y-shaped: A slippery slope followed by a terrifying plunge and then a reversal of the same. This one might actually be pretty dead on.
Q-shaped: Anyone with smarts gets out and stays out right before the long tail, everyone else is stuck going around in circles.
O-shaped: No one knows anything, everyone still going round in circles.
G-shaped: A “U” shaped recovery that hits a wall (i.e. the government) and is immediately stopped.
K-shaped: One half of the market goes up, the half you’re invested in goes down.
Basically it doesn’t matter what shape the recovery takes, if and when it decides to show up. What you can be sure is that regardless of the form, there will be companies that have been undervalued by the markets and money to be made.
