The ValuEngine Valuation Model tracks more than 5000 US equities, ADRs, and
foreign stock which trade on US exchanges. The model calculates a level of
mispricing or valuation percentage for each equity based on what the stock should
be worth if the market were totally rational and efficient--an academic exercise to be
sure, but one which allows for useful comparisons between equities, sectors, and
industries.
We track valuation figures and use them as a metric for making calls about the
overall state of the market. As of last night's close, our overall market overvaluation
and overvalued by 20% or more figures have reaches levels which have been
correlated with approaching market corrections in the past.
This is a time for investors to keep a close eye and the market and to consider
booking some profits and perhaps hedging against a move to the downside.
This chart shows overall universe valuation in excess of 60% vs the S&P 500 from
the end of March 2010 to the present.
This chart shows universe overvalued by 20% or more levels in excess of 27.5% vs
the S&P 500 from the end of March 2010 to the present.
This is another indicator that stocks are no longer the bargain they were a few
months ago and that investors should consider implementing additional risk
management tools and/or booking some profits.
This chart shows universe overvalued by 20% or more levels in excess of 30% vs
the S&P 500 from 1991 up until the end of May 2010.
As you can see from the charts, in many cases in the past the spikes in
overvaluation provided a timely signal of an impending negative move. Our most
recent valuation watch occurred in late April 2010, just as the market headed down
for the Summer.
If levels of overvaluation continue to climbs and surpass 60% for the overall
universe and 30% for the overvalued by 20% or more metric, then we will issue a
valuation warning and expect an imminent correction.

Suttmeier Says
--Commentary and Analysis from Chief Market Strategist
Richard Suttmeier
Treasury Yields
10-Year-- (3.471) My daily value level is 3.753 with a semiannual
pivot at 3.479, and weekly pivot at 3.176, annual pivots at 2.999
and 2.813, and quarterly, semiannual and monthly risky levels at
2.265, 2.249 and 1.949. The rise in the 10-Year yield is overdone
and my semiannual pivot at 3.479 has become a magnet.
Nymex Crude-- ($87.86) Semiannual, annual and monthly value levels are $83.94,
$77.05 and $75.50 with daily and weekly pivots at $87.56 and $88.76, and semiannual
and annual risky levels at $96.53 and $97.29. Nymex Crude oil remains influenced by
my weekly pivot at $88.76.
The Euro--(1.3237) My monthly value level is 1.2500 with daily, weekly and quarterly
pivots at 1.3246, 1.3227 and 1.3318, and semiannual risky level at 1.4733. The euro has
been influenced by my quarterly pivot at 1.3318.
Major Indices
The major averages straddle this week’s risky levels / pivots at 11,467 Dow,
1242.9 SPX, 2643 NASDAQ, 5141 Transports, 770.13 Russell 2000, and 428.02 Sox.
The Dow--
Daily: (11,499) Semiannual, annual, monthly and quarterly value levels are 10,558,
10,379, 10,325 and 8,523 with annual and semiannual pivots at 11,235 and 11,296, and
daily and weekly pivots at 11,499 and 11,467. The Dow Industrial Average remains
overbought on both daily and weekly charts and gains above 11,500 have not been
sustained so far.
Housing
Home repossessions dropped 28% in November sequentially and 12% year over
year. Even so the year to date total is around 980,000 according the RealtyTrac.
Once we get into 2011 the pace of foreclosures should pick up again as the freezes
end and as improved documentation practices are put into place by lenders.
The tough environment for housing should persist in 2011; high unemployment,
a continued weak housing market, and tighter lending standards. With 10.8 million
households or 22.5% of all homes with a mortgage were underwater at the end of the
third quarter. There are 5 million mortgages that are at least two month in arrears, yet
many of them have not even entered the foreclosure process.
According to Trulia Inc there is ten months of housing inventory up for sale and
in many communities sellers are cutting prices across the country. The average price
cut is 12% from a year ago.
Until the housing market shows a sustainable recovery, job creation will lag and
the economic recovery will remain weak.
