Good morning! This is some great data about the yield curve, #Fed hiking cycles, and how markets / $SPX react. The short version? Don't listen to all the claptrap you'll undoubtedly hear about how an inverted curve "doesn't matter" and/or "doesn't mean anything" when ...
... the curve inverts in this cycle. My take has been since last spring (and remains so today) that it'll happen a LOT earlier in this hiking cycle than the Dudleys of the world predict. But also, don't "jump the gun" and get short the market when the curve is only flattening ...
... It takes TIME for flattening to turn to inversion, and inversion to turn to #recession. You can still make money in a late-cycle environment. You just won't make the most of it in the same sectors/stocks you made the most of it in the early- and mid-cycle phases. Or IOW...
... Follow my three-point investor plan: "Recognize. Comprehend. Adapt." Make adjustments to your holdings to reflect the changing market environment. Cheers!

(1/n) One more time so my position is clear, here is something I shared earlier this morning:

"Certainly, I had no idea of the magnitude or timing of this virus news. So, I didn't know/couldn't know we'd lose 1,900 Dow points in two days!"
(2/n) "But I think the swift, severe, virus-related reaction shouldn't blind us to the broader, longer-term issues facing this market/economy. In other words, while virus news is driving the short-term action, much more is going on here and has been for a few quarters now."
"A few observations supporting this: Interest rates didn't just start falling the last few weeks. They've been dropping since Q4 2018. The curve (3-month/10-year) didn't just invert due to virus news. It flattened, then inverted, for ~18 months in 2018 and 2019."
