3-Month Lows In November

Jason Goepfert
2016-11-01

As stocks continue to sell off into the afternoon, the S&P 500 is in danger of doing something it hasn't done in four years - close at a multi-month low in November.

Most of us have heard about how November through April is the most seasonally positive time of the year, and we're already passed the scary September/October time frame. So multi-month lows in November are relatively rare.

Since 1950, the S&P has closed at a 3-month low on any day in November 45 times, including consecutive days. Remarkably, the S&P rebounded over the next month after 41 of those occurrences, with a nearly 10-to-1 reward-to-risk ratio. All dates are shown below.

If you look at the recent dates, something else sticks out - most of them were election years. Here's the same table, but filtered for election years.

Over the next couple of weeks, the S&P rebounded after 14 of the 15 dates, though most of these occurred AFTER the election and not the week before.

It's also rare to see volatility increase like this at this point in the year. The VIX has jumped 30% or more in a week during November only four other times (1991-11-15, 2007-11-07, 2008-11-20, and 2015-11-13), all leading to rebounds over the next month.

It's anyone's guess how the next week is going to unfold with rapidly changing polling numbers. The probability seems high the volatility will remain elevated with high risk in stocks, both ways. But once the initial wave of uncertainty is passed after the election, we'd be looking at weakness as an opportunity to finally add back some stock exposure.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
