Wondering where real estate, stocks, Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, bonds, gold, the U.S. dollar and the economy are headed in 2021? Learn what's in and what's out, so that you can make your best move now, while asset prices are at all-time highs (for many of the assets).
 
Economic Recovery in 2021?
The economy is predicted to have contracted about -2.4% in 2020. (We’ll get the first look at this on Jan. 28, 2021.) If the current projections turn out to be right (and the vaccine curtails the pandemic), then global growth could be about 4% in 2021 (source: The World Bank). The Federal Reserve Board governors believe that the U.S. will achieve 4.2% GDP growth in 2021. GDP growth above 4% has only happened once in the past decade, in the 1st quarter of 2015. Of course, it’s hard to imagine any year worse than 2020. The bounce off the bottom should help 2021 look better than 2020 – particularly if we are successful in reining in the pandemic.

China is predicted to ring in 8.2% GDP growth in 2021 (source: IMF). As you can see in the graph below, the strongest growth will be in China and southern Asia.

2020 has been a very difficult year, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at asset prices. Bitcoin, stocks, real estate and gold are all at all-time highs. It’s tempting to think that all you have to do is buy in and you get a trip to the moon. Bitcoin has doubled in just one month! Since the Nov. 3, 2020 election, the Biden Rally has pushed the NASDAQ Composite Index up 20%.
 
​However, the problem with soaring fast and high is that the crash can be a killer. You only have to look back to March, and the last two 21st Century Recessions, to sober up. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 35% between February 19, 2020 and March 23, 2020. That was the fastest about-face from bull to bear in history. Even though 2021 should be a recovery year (if we tame COVID19), that premise has already been priced into most assets. That is why “stretched asset valuations” are listed in the top 5 Potential Shocks by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors in their most recent Financial Stability Report.

While it is certainly possible that blue skies continue for investors in 2021, there are a lot of economic storms on the horizon. What could possibly go wrong? Our worst nightmare never seems to end. Many of the potential shocks cited above have already become realities, including political uncertainty, business stress, COVID resurgence and stretched asset valuations.
 
We are embroiled in a troublesome 2nd wave of COVID19 that has many European nations and some U.S. states locked down. A spike of cases in the U.S. has severely and negatively impacted non-essential corporations, along with small and medium businesses. The Retail Apocalypse has been joined by a host of other industries in peril, such as airlines, casinos, commercial real estate, oil and gas companies and more. PPP loans and bond purchases helped get us through 2020, but how long can we keep printing cash like there is no tomorrow?

Given that we enter a recovery year in 2021 with “stretched” asset valuations, it will be difficult to know which way the investment winds will blow. That is why most investors will benefit  from battening down the hatches of their financial home. Protect your wealth from a downturn, while being properly diversified, with some hot industries, if assets continue a bull run into the recovery year.

Stock prices. Would you pay $50 for a café latte? Stocks are in bubble territory. Yes, they can go higher. However, when bubbles pop, the drop is far and fast. As you can see in the chart below, the only two times in history when stock prices have been higher than they are today was in 1929 and 2000. 1929 was the year before the Great Depression. 2000 marked the zenith before Dot Com stocks dropped up to 78%.

Bonds are illiquid and negative yielding. Bonds are losing money. The safe side of your portfolio isn’t supposed to put your principal at risk. Think like Roy Rogers, who once said, “I’m more concerned with the return of my money than the return on my money.” Click to read a blog that explains this in greater detail.
 
Money market funds have redemption gates and liquidity fees and they are not FDIC-insured. Additionally, because it is a fund, it can lose value. Again, the safe side of your portfolio is not supposed to have capital risk. Click to read a blog that explains this in greater detail. Even if you have a 401K and believe your options are limited, there are likely solutions that you haven’t put on the table.
 
Gold prices are near an all-time high. Silver, which typically shadows gold, is still trading quite low, however. What are the problem areas of gold, and is silver the opportunity? Learn more in my Gold and Silver blogs.
 
Real estate prices are unaffordable in 59% of US cities. Buying high in real estate can be a decade-long nightmare it. If you’re purchasing a home, you need to make sure it is affordable, that you are buying it for a good price and that you are looking at a 7-10-year horizon, at minimum. If you are buying real estate, you owe it to yourself to get this process right. Don’t just trust the broker-salesman to have your best interests at heart. It’s your life and livelihood that can be heaven or hell, not the realtor’s.
 
Join me at my Real Estate Master Class on Jan. 23, 2021. Call 310-430-2397 to register now. Click to read a blog that explains real estate in greater detail.

Bitcoin is on fire. It is more of a trader’s platform than a currency, however. You can’t have a currency that is worth $40,000 one month and $4000 just a few months prior. Additionally, there is a lot of sketchy activity, and downright ruses, in this space. Ripple isn’t the only (alleged) crypto criminal. Click to learn more.
 
Cannabis was decriminalized by the House on Dec. 4, 2020. Over the last few months, cannabis  companies, like Aphria, have quadrupled  in price. With a Blue Senate, will the U.S. legalize weed, like Canada did, and Mexico is in the process of doing? Will we have a North American continent that considers the herb on par with alcohol? That will be a positive for all cannabis companies. The company that has the best hot product will shine like a star above the rest, however. Learn more in this blog.
 
The U.S. dollar is predicted to weaken against other currencies. The slide has already started.
 
Fundamental Shifts
Below is an In and Out List. So much has changed over the past year, many of which could turn out to be lasting and fundamental lifestyle and business modifications. These shifts will impact industries and the economy, offering a new set of winners and losers.

The Bottom Line
As Jerome Powell stated quite candidly on Dec. 16, 2020 in prepared remarks during the FOMC press conference, “The current economic downturn is the most severe of our lifetimes. It will take a while to get back to the levels of economic activity and employment that prevailed at the beginning of this year, and it may take continued support from both monetary and fiscal policy to achieve that.” Rather than bet on a continued bull market, or lay odds on the Apocalypse, a more prudent plan would be to protect your wealth from economic weakness, while keeping an appropriate amount at risk that is properly diversified. Underweight weak, out-of-date industries and lean into innovation and strength (like technology). This plan, when rebalanced 1-3 times a year, is a buy low, sell plan on auto-pilot that outperforms bull and bear markets.
 
Now is the time to know what you own and why. If you wait for the headlines, it’s always too late. Call our office at 310-430-2397 or email [email protected] to learn more about how you can receive a 2nd opinion, join our next retreat or, at minimum, read the 4th edition of The ABCs of Money.

Would You Pay $50 for a Grande Latte? Are You Overspending on Your Tesla Stock?

2/1/2021

​Would you pay $50 for a grande latte? How about paying $115 for a burrito at Chipotle? When we look at price this way, in a quotidien context, it’s easy to see when prices are outlandish. This is exactly what is happening today on Wall Street. Starbucks is trading at a price-earnings ratio of 135. Chipotle’s PE is 164. Tesla’s price-earnings ratio is 1377! The average PE is 16-17.

​Average PE
As you can see in the chart below, which is provided by Nobel Prize winning economist Robert Shiller, there are only two times in history when price-earnings ratios were higher than they are today – in 2000 and in 1929. History books are full of pages on the Great Depression. However, are you aware that the NASDAQ Composite Index lost 78% from the March 2000 highs to the October 2002 lows (the last time PEs were this high)? NASDAQ took 15 years to crawl back to even.

Businesses are Borrowing from Peter to Pay Paul
Outside of essential businesses and technology, there are many industries that have suffered during the pandemic. Sales are down 8% at Starbucks. Airline revenue is off by 80% or more. Casinos are ghost towns, with revenue losses of 80-90% year over year.
 
Even before the pandemic, over half of the S&P500 had allowed their credit score to fall to the lowest rung of investment grade, or even into junk bond status (where Ford, many airlines, casinos and hotels, and even Netflix, Advanced Micro Devices and Yum! Brands are currently). That includes many banks and financial services corporations. According to the Federal Reserve’s Financial Stability Report from November of 2020, “Leverage at life insurance companies are at post-2008 highs and remain elevated at hedge funds relative to the past five years.” Additionally, “Prime [Money Market Funds] and fixed-income mutual funds remain vulnerable to funding strains and sudden redemptions, as demonstrated during the acute period of extreme market volatility and deteriorating asset prices earlier this year,” according to the report.

Electric vehicles are on fire. Tesla’s sales growth was 40% in the most recent quarter. However, car sales typically don’t do well when people are out of work. GM and Chrysler declared bankruptcy in early 2009, during the Great Recession. Should Tesla, a company that lost almost a billion dollars last year and has annual sales of about $28.2 billion, be worth $669 billion – particularly in a pandemic? Toyota was the Tesla of the Great Recession, with its game-changing Prius hybrid. Toyota’s share price fell by 52% in the Great Recession.  
 
​If You Wait for the Headlines, You’re Late
21st century investors are actually worth less today than there were in 1999, according to research provided by the Pew Research Center. So, while it’s tempting to buy stocks when you hear the markets going up every day, it’s also important to know when you are overpaying. The age-old investing aphorism is: Buy low, sell high.
 


Picture

Today, people are buying high, hoping to sell higher, or are using a Buy & Hope strategy. That’s a very risky game for more than a few reasons. As you can see in the chart above, if you lost more than half in each of the last two recessions, and then were forced to hope and pray to recover from your losses in the bull markets, you are now worth less than you were two decades ago.
 
In addition, when you lose more than half of your wealth, your credit score implodes. Financial hardship can destroy your health and is hell on your relationships. 21st century recessions have forced many North Americans to forego retirement, take on a 2nd job or move in with family. Intergenerational housing is higher today than it was in the Great Depression. Debtors get eviscerated by vicious debt collectors who want a pound of flesh. With consumer debt at an all-time high, learning from the past two downturns could be key to your fiscal, emotional and physical health.
 
Another major problem with Buy & Hope, the Wall Street rollercoaster and buying high is that when the headlines hit and Main Street investors become aware of what is going on, the gap down has already occurred. Most people don’t even think about selling until the majority of the losses have already happened. The insider money always moves first. Congressional representatives sold stock after the January 2020 White House COVID-19 update – two months before the first stay-at-home order. Wall Street executives retired in droves.
 
Stocks hit an all-time high on February 19, 2020. However, in an abrupt, effective-immediately, manner, Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney, gave the top job to Bob Chapek on February 25, 2020.  On March 13, 2020, Bill Gates resigned from the Microsoft board. On March 16, 2020, Marilyn Hewson, the CEO of Hewlett Packard, stepped down. All of this happened before California issued the U.S.’s first stay-at-home order, on March 19, 2020. The crash from the February 19, 2020 highs to the March 23, 2020 lows was the fastest in history, with a drop of 35%. Yes, stock prices have recovered, but the economy itself still has many trouble areas, including the persistence of the pandemic.
​
The 21st Century is Very Different from Last Century’s Economy
On August 27, 2020, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell gave a revealing speech in Jackson Hole, Montana. He said:
 
Before the Great Moderation, expansions typically ended in overheating and rising inflation. Since then, prior to the current pandemic-induced downturn, a series of historically long expansions had been more likely to end with episodes of financial instability, prompting essential efforts to substantially increase the strength and resilience of the financial system.
 
We are currently in an episode of financial instability, which the Feds are trying to get us through by printing dollars and buying up everything in sight. That has resulted in an explosion of debt that was already unsustainable. The majority of this will have to be paid back. Some will be restructured.   


Picture

Economic Storms are Still on the Horizon
We’re still in a pandemic, though thankfully there might be an end in sight thanks to the vaccine. Once the pandemic is over, things won’t return to normal immediately. There have been some structural changes in how we live and work. Borrowed money will have to be paid back. There are a lot of people out of work. Housing remains unaffordable in 65% of the U.S. And those $50 Latte and $115 burrito stock prices are very frothy.

21st century history tells us that when asset bubbles pop, the downturn is devastating. In the November 2020 Financial Stability Report, the Feds warned, “Asset prices remain vulnerable to significant declines, given a high degree of uncertainty around the course of the pandemic and the pace of the recovery.”
 
Fix the Roof While the Sun is Still Shining
While it’s tempting to party on Wall Street while everyone else is self-isolating from the virus, a  better strategy is to have a sober plan that protects your wealth, is properly diversified, leans into the industries of tomorrow, underweights overleveraged, last-century dinosaurs and rebalances annually to keep things properly allocated. That time-proven, 21st century strategy is easy-as-a-pie chart. You can read about it in my books, learn them firsthand at my Jan. 16-18, 2021 Retreat or ring our office for an unbiased 2nd opinion and action plan. Call 310-430-2397 or email [email protected] to learn more.
 
Buying high, Buy & Hope, or trying to jump out now and back in later (market timing) are all money-losing tricks that only novices attempt. Seasoned investors adopt a time-proven, 21st century strategy and then stick to their knitting. Wisdom is the cure and the time is now.
